Anomaly

Possible Cause

Solution

PFD/MFD do not interact with 

simulation software.

Only one of the PFD/MFD screens is 

detected by the PC.

Check that each screen has a different selector 

mode switch value (PFD or MFD) as described in 

Section 3.1.

PFD/MFD are not set in the correct 

mode for the flight simulation software 

used.

In the device's region inf the VFHub Dashboard, a 

"No Direct Mode: PFD" or "No Direcct Mode MFD" is 

present. Change the PFD/MFD screen in "No Direct 

Mode" to "Direct Mode" by pressing "VS" and "FLC" 

buttons simultaneously in the device.

PFD and MFD are not detected by 

your flight simulator computer.

Make sure SOLO GA1, PFD and MFD receives 12v 

power. Also check in the Flight simulation computer 

that “Virtual Fly – PFD DIRECT” and “Virtual Fly – 

MFD DIRECT” are detected.

VFHub is not running on flight 

simulation computer.

Execute VFHub on the flight simulation. and check if 

PFD and MFD are connected.

Audio Panel's buttons do a 

double-press when clicking it.

In X-Plane 11, Audio Panel's 

assignations have not been disabled 

with a blank profile.
