MobiFlight Community Support

Hi, have just encountered a weird problem with my sim.
I’m using FSX, PMDG, MOBIFLIGHT/ ARDUINO’s.
When I start FSX/PMDG all is well. Once I start Mobiflight I can hear the sound of switches clicking away in the background. It doesn’t appear that they are operating any switches, it’s just the sound of the switches clicking!!??
I have removed and reinstalled the ‘switches’ file in FSX/PMDG but no change. At the moment I have removed the file completely.
Any ideas or help greatfully accepted, I’m at a loss on this one. Thanx.

Strange.....

Use the Logging File ( Mobiflight Logging Typ DEBUG )
Then you see if MF execute something in that moment..... But i don´t think so. MF normaly do "nothing" except you press a Button or so.

Second step is to use the FSUIPC Logging..... Activate it before this situation happen and observe Events and Inputs.
Start MF and check in the Logging what is happen.

Whatever..... If you can confirm there is no active change ( non of the virtual switches and buttons have changed) Then i would not care about !

Hi Pizman82,
I have now sat and checked any action with the switches and whilst I was looking my gear lever went into the off position so I can now say that switches ARE switching by themselves. I have checked the logging in FSUIPC but nothing there. I can’t find where to find the logging file in MF. I checked for updates and downloaded 9.0.0. No change after that except at the top left of the MF window I now have the MF logo and ‘a.mcc- Mobiflight Connector (9.0.0).’ Was wondering why it now starts with ‘a.mcc-‘ ??

Hi pizman82,

I have found the logging in MF and below is what is happening without me using any of the switches!! This is all happening by itself…..
Any ideas?

Hello again pizman82,
Thought I had sorted this but it is still happening. Lots of switches switching on and off with out me physically switching anything. I have tried to go into output/edit to edit a switch but I get a message PRESETS FILE NOT FOUND IN CURRENT DIRECTORY. I think it’s all falling apart.

Hi

At first.... Preset File Warning should not be related here..... this is a other Thematic.


I think we talk here about a basic thing.

I read in Discord that Sebastian (DocMoebius) say, that "automatic" switch inputs can happen..... I never see that before. So we need to talk to him what is wrong here.
Without that statement i would say you got a electrical issue..... Switch not switch by itself.... BUT if you for example have a wrong connection (short circuit) withion the wires..... then maybe a GRD Connection within the income wires can occure in a Press whatever it not happend in real.

Easy question.....
As i know Mobiflight can not make inputs by itself.... Sebastian say this can happen .... So what is true ???
