1. The MSFS_States_Editor_v2 constantly crashes the iPad TP app. Page display for .1 of second then app crashes and closes. Main TP on PC has to be restarted before TP app on iPad (15.6.1) will reset to default page. The issue is this Event code

2. The MSFS Starter page does not display on iPad (15.6.1) - it instead crashes the iPad app again the app can only be accessed after the Main TP on the pc has been reset

The issue here is with the AirSpd Button - the complete object. Deleting the button and recreating exactly as you had it allows the page to work and not crash.

4. The Radio Stack Page loads without any issue

Any help would be appreciated

Hi, thanks for the reports.

Someone else also reported the States Editor page crashing iOS because of that log message state. I'm not sure at this point if it's just the length of the text data in the log message state or if something else is going on there (not sure what since it's just showing data like any other state). Unfortunately I don't have an iOS device to test with. You can of course just remove the button/Update event and the page will still work fine.

Regarding the Starter page, that's first I heard, and thank you for chasing down the issue.
There was one difference in the SPD button from almost all the others -- the icon it would change to when active (with the orange indicator) is slightly different from all the others (it's subtle... a little more square in the corners). I wonder if it was that image itself, or just the button didn't get imported correctly. The only other place that same icon is used is on the VS button, also in the On Event. But the VS button doesn't cause a crash when AP VS is enabled?

There was also just recently a reported issue in TP in general where a page didn't import correctly and even though it looked correct, pressing one of the buttons send a corrupt image to the TP device and crashed it. I suppose this could be a similar glitch... but there should be a fix for such things in the next TP device software update.

Thanks,
