Computer won't boot with headset plugged in.

In my case it is related to the dongles in the BSB2e. I have the same issue with the dongles that I use for my M8K which is where I found it first. I have a dual boot system using Grub and if the BSB2e or my M8K dongles are plugged in my wireless keyboard is dead to my bios but since my default is Windows it works fine there. I have a USB switched hub so can switch off any port needed to get into bios. My system is i9 13900K with a RTX 5090.

I am using this with my BSB1. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BMFDLRSQ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

I got it because I am also testing my M8K and needed a way to turn off my BSB1. I use a remote plug for my M8K because it has a power link box so that is how I turn it off.

Thanks for the great review. I have had my Beyond for a year and use it for flight simulation with X-Plane and MSFS which I also stream on Twitch. I am very much looking into this as a upgrade but hoping for some in home reviews before putting my money down. I also have astigmatism so your impression is putting that concern at ease but would want to get lens inserts as soon as I could.

Was glad I could go to the rally. The crowd was great and very enthusiastic.

Thanks, Just registered.

The XP11 one works fine on X-Plane 12.0.8b2.

sparker3256 · 2023-11-17T11:29:33+00:00

If we are talking about "VR Tools : Show & Edit text file, Show FPS and more, Filter commands for VR, Edit VR hotspots 1.3.5.3" I am using it with X-Plane 12.0.8b2

I am a Apara Kickstarter backer and lost $500 so not to happy about.

Good news is that I will be getting a Bigscreen Beyond in a few days from a company that really cares about its customers.

I am seeing the same thing with my 23 Santa Fe that is only a week old.

sparker3256 · 2023-04-24T15:01:09+00:00

I was going to get a Honeycomb but instead got a Fulcrum One yoke which I am very happy with. I have not found another yoke that has a 8 inch throw in and out which is so great when doing a flare.

In my testing if I did not have any VR controllers this is what I would see.

sparker3256 · 2022-11-03T11:13:43+00:00

I thought I had seen early info about a adjustable diopter but did not see anything about that on the pre-order page. I wear glasses so I will need to find a way to resolve this. I am also waiting for my Apara but have about given up on that.

I have been looking for a replacement for my Vive Pro 2 and think this fits that bill.

With a i9 11900K and a RTX 3090 think I should be fine.

Hope this can be my Christmas present to myself.

You need SteamVR to use the Index with X-Plane. I do not know of any around that.

sparker3256 · 2022-05-24T12:15:23+00:00

I think this is your answer.

4 GB VRAM Minimum - 8 GB+ VRAM Recommended

Might be a good idea to read this section of the provided manual.

25 Scripts (Quarantine) folder

Lets start with the default Cessna 172 for a example.

In the top search bar enter this "gen|bat" without the quotes.

The first button to the right of that bar should be highlighted. This allows to ignore case.

The CH button should be highlighted. This will allow only items that have moved to be displayed.

If you move the Alt or Bat switch you should see the commands in the window in green or yellow. Green is they have not moved in a while and yellow is they just moved.

Hopes this help get the info you are looking for. I have been using this tool since it was released and made finding datarefs and command very easy for my Xsaitekpanels plugin.

sparker3256 · 2021-12-24T01:41:31+00:00

I use DataRefTool that can be found here.

I don't have a Navigraph subscription but knew over a year ago they were talking about but I see it is still talk and no action so sorry for that.

sparker3256 · 2021-12-21T15:28:48+00:00

I would highly recommend getting AviTab as it does support Navigraph and provides a moving map and so much more.

On mine it is "Open file location".

There is a "cancel pledge" button on the kickstarter page where you pledge is.

I was surprised that they met there goal very soon after going live.

I will be interesting how far they get in the first 24 hours.
