FAQ - RoystonS/BetterBravoLights GitHub Wiki

Will this mess up my existing Bravo configuration?

No. It doesn't change your existing Bravo configuration; it's a completely new Bravo lights tool written from scratch. Installing it will change your MSFS startup configuration to run Better Bravo Lights instead of the Honeycomb AFC Bridge, but that's the only change, and that's reversible.

What bugs are there?

  1. Virtually no nice error-checking and reporting.
  2. The debugger UI is messy. I’ll tidy it up when everything else is stable. Right now, it works, so making it prettier is lower priority.

Better Bravo Lights no longer starts up when I launch Flight Simulator

If it did start up at some point in the past, but now isn't, the most likely cause is that you've installed another program which has corrupted a file that Flight Simulator uses to decide which programs should be launched when the simulator starts. With such a corrupted file this means that Flight Simulator no longer knows that it should start up Better Bravo Lights.

If you want the technical details as to what's the other broken program has done to your configuration, you can find them here at our page that describes this common problem: corrupt exe.xml files

If you just want Better Bravo Lights to work again, just re-run its install.bat script. That'll make it try to install itself again. The BetterBravoLights installer is smart enough to detect and fix some common corruption problems automatically (because we've seen the corruption so frequently!) but if it can't, it will at least tell you about the problem and offer to raise a request for help here.

How do I report problems or make suggestions?

If something doesn't work properly, you find problems with the configuration, you can't figure out how to install it, or need anything else, please raise an issue at the GitHub repository: https://github.com/RoystonS/BetterBravoLights/issues

Can I see the code?

Of course. It's all available on GitHub as MIT-licensed Open Source: https://github.com/RoystonS/BetterBravoLights
