Instruments keep dropping out

#1 Post by AlpineBravo »

Hi,

I have a fairly basic problem with AM - when in use it seems to frequently lose connection to the sim (MSFS2020) - the values on all the instruments drop out. This will last several seconds and happens periodically (once per minute?).

It doesn't matter what instrument, plane or panel is in use - I always see the same behavior.

Typically I'm running SPAD.next at the same time.

It looks like some sort of simconnect issue to me? Any suggestions on the possible cause and a remedy? It's making AM almost unusable for me.

Cheers

AB

Hi! I had the same problem. I found a solution somewhere, which is to use a free software called Hid Hide. Some joysticks when connected to Air Manager seem to receive some feedback which makes spadnext crazy. You can even use a hid viewer to monitor the inputs and you'll see that air Manager and spad.next together have the tendency to freeze when joystick has some jittering.
So using hid hide you can prohibit air Manager to see your joysticks and it solves the issue.
