avionics turning off for no reason?

[PsychOut83]

This seems to have started after flying with the honeycomb yoke. Basically, avionics will just turn off after maybe 20 mins or so. The switches for alt, battery, and bus 1/2 are all kept in the on position, and I've tried flicking them on and off quickly before takeoff to make sure they're registered as on. No dice. I've tried leaving the magneto switch in the "start" position and in the "both" position, makes no difference. The issue happens across many planes. Engine stays on.

Any suggestions?

I've not had this issue - not lucky enough to have a honeycomb yoke. But, if it were me, I'd consider resetting all the controls and redoing the bindings. Particularly if you've moved from one type of controller to another. Having said that, it's a bit of a pain to do all that, so maybe wait and see if anyone has a better idea before taking my advice. Hehe.

hmm I have a saitek flight yoke and multi panel as the honeycomb is not available for me to buy yet, however what im getting now after 180+ hours is when I change flight level up or down the IAS ALT VS buttons all go out on my panel ) ie im at FL8000 and I switch to 16000ft : the plane (airbus a320) does as ive asked but shortly after climb those buttons LEDS all go off and when it gets to the desired alitude IAS and ALT come back on........ usually I would expect IAS and ALT to stay on all the time- only VS goes off when it nears the desired level. Thats how it all worked before until recently...... Ive reinstalled the yoke and panel software but nothings really fixed my issue. Was considering total reinstall... ??

Magnetos should be in BOTH when flying. The ignition switch is spring loaded and when you let go it should snap back to BOTH.

Sounds like some bindings are off.

nah man like i stated in the OP, the issue happens whether the knob is turned to BOTH or START, doesn't make a difference.

If the switch is set to ON, you'll hear a repeated quiet clicking as the sim tries to set the switch back to BOTH and cannot. After a few minutes, your battery runs dry and then your electricals fail and your engine seizes.

Which aircraft are you flying?

There's a problem with MSFS that it can only take so many Lua commands at once from a controller, something like 32. Unfortunately, the gorgeous Honeycomb uses steady-state switches (if it's on, it's always on), while MSFS uses momentary commands (press-to-toggle, like a keyboard key). So while there are fewer than 32 switches on the Honeycomb, there are more than 32 states, 36 I believe.

So... you have to get rid of a few bindings to get the number back down to 32. All of the non-handle switches are steady-state, as is the ignition key. If you delete all of the ignition key bindings, the Honeycomb should work.

Try that and see if it helps (make a backup of your profile). If that's the problem, you can get around it using Vjoy to fool MSFS into thinking that your steady-state switches are all momentary. I have a tutorial for that, but I don't want to hunt for it if this turns out not to be the problem. It's a solution that will remove an hour or two out of your life, but it works.
