Smart App Control Blocks OPZ Settings
« on: January 27, 2026, 04:38:17 PM »
Hey Luke,

The OPZ saved setting today wouldn't open it said "Smart App Control blocked an App that may be unsafe"
Wanted to see if this happens on your end too? Worked for me up until a few days ago. Should I turn this off on my computer? Can it be signed/verified? Just want to know the right next step to get it working again + bring it to your attention.

Thanks!
Tom

Hi Tom, there's no practical way to get Open Panzer verified by Microsoft. If Windows is preventing you from running the program, then your only option is to turn off Smart App Control.

Okay thanks! Did that and it works. Wondering with the transmission and how it engages upon engine start up. Is it possible to have it "not engaged" on start up?
It seems to make more sense.. as one wouldn't want the transmission engaged when starting then when ready .. engage to run. Totally small point, just curious. Also testing the recoil on a new board just to see if it triggers on first attempt.

The auto engage of the transmission with engine start is useful for those people who don't want to mess with it, or who have limited channels available on their radio for unnecessary functions.

If you want to control it manually, just assign a switch to the Transmission Turn On / Turn Off functions, and then it will be whatever your switch tells it to be.
