Note for Users Unable to Update Unit Firmware:
If you have an older unit and are prompted to update the firmware, but nothing happens after unplugging and reconnecting the USB (and you see a message to contact support), it means your unit does not support firmware updates via USB and would not able to update above 1.2 version. However you can simply download the 1.2 version of the Hub to use with your unit. FSBLauncher v1.2.0
Note: If you are using older v1.2.0 and it feels like the knobs rotation skipping, it means the encoder speed is set too high for the newer version of the launcher. To make it work well with 1.2.0 version, you need to slow down the encoder speed to "5" using the Encoder Speed Mode below.
Encoder Speed Mode. This will enable to increase / decrease encoder speed mode on a scale from 1 to 10 (by default it's 5). However currently, if you increase beyond 5, X-Plane / MSFS will not be able to read it.
Press and Hold "HDG" knob. The buttons will illuminate showing the current speed.
Use "HDG" rotation to adjust encoder speed.
Press "HDG" again to exit the encode speed mode.
