    @Bert-Pieke - Agree - The BKSQ Analogue aircraft are the best.

    I have noticed one thing that is odd. When choosing the A36 in the MSFS Aircraft lineup. There are only two choices - one choice is A36 Bonanza Tip Tanks the other is A36TC Bonanza which also has tip tanks - however, the third option in 2020 is the A36 Bonanza without tip tanks - but it does not show up.
    Do you find that as well? Maybe there needs to be other folders copied over?

    You have me thinking regarding the KI 525A. Someone who is spending that much money on an aircraft equipped w/ a GTN750, RA, tip tanks, etc. is almost certainly going to invest in an CDI that has a motor and auto-aligns to the next leg in the GPS flight plan, do you agree? My understanding of what you are saying is the KI 525 doesn't have a motor for CRS changes, therefore you have to set it on every turn along a GPS FP in the actual aircraft?

    This seems to be even more of a question in my mind for someone investing in a (to-be) turbo prop kit. So if my understanding is correct, then do you have a different course deviation indicator instrument for the professional version coming soon?

    I'm not going to ask you "how soon" as I'm sure you get that all to often currently.

    Thanks for your perspective.

    Thank you. YES, anticipating the Bonanza Professional. Have picked up my flying in the BS Bonanza in anticipation of the turbo prop Bonanza.

    @Black-Square said in Turbo Bonanza Manifold Pressure:

    All of this and more will feature in the Bonanza Professional, which you will be able to get at a significant discount, as an Analog Bonanza owner.

    I am really looking forward to this aircraft, as the A36 is currently my favorite aircraft in the sim. Can you confirm one thing for me, namely that the BK ADI and HSI have updated exterior dimensions, 3.55" W x 3.37" H.

    Edit: The screenshots look really good, so I believe my question has been answered..

    Thanks!

    @ppmd I had already tried this but even with the blacksquare in my community folder I dont see it. It comes up with the kenmore livery and then i get only a frame when I am in the outside view. If I choose the default I do get the glasscockpit. So I have no idea what is the problem. I only have moved my community folder to the drive where msfs2024 is installed so noit the default. But all mods that are in that folder are working fine.
    I have no idea why it is not working with me, but thanks for your reply.

    Writing 1 to those variables will turn the propeller de-ice on, and 0 will turn it off.

    It works, thank you!

    Of course!

    You will also want to turn on circuit #16, by setting A:CIRCUIT SWITCH ON:16.

    Sorry that you still have to go looking for variables like this in my older aircraft. In all my newer aircraft, including the Caravan Professional, I've tried to make every custom interaction settable with just one L:Var, and they are all included in the manual.

    Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with in the meantime! It's very quick and easy for me to look up these kinds of things in my own code, so I am always happy to save my users the time and frustration of trying to figure it out themselves.

    From what you're describing, if you saw both the BAT TIE OPEN and the BAT CHARGE annunciator lights, this means that the battery disconnected from the hot battery bus due to an overheat, not a MTBF triggered failure. (I mention this only as part of my looking at the code to identify your problem.) If you didn't see those two annunciators at the same time, it's also possible that you might have hit the battery emergency disconnect switch on the left of the pilot's subpanel.

    From the looks of it, vPilot must use the "CIRCUIT_GENERAL_PANEL" generic electrical circuit to identify when your radios should be working or not. I have that circuit connected to the hot battery bus to serve as the King Air's "avionics memory" circuit. Unfortunately, using only one circuit to determine if an aircraft's radios are functioning is quite limiting for more complex aircraft. I also don't blame the developers of vPilot, since that's an easily accessible variable that would usually be on the avionics bus. Knowing what I know now, I would not have set up the King Air this way, as I have learned just how many 3rd party addons rely on that variable to read the avionics power state. I will make a note of this for myself for future development.

    Answering your question, I don't believe there is a way to reset that failure without reloading the aircraft, unfortunately. Again, I would have included a reset for that failure with the weather radar's "recharge battery" option if I were designing the aircraft today.

    Is your problem that the aircraft is not following the GPS course as depicted by the HSI's CDI? If you have correctly set up the GPS, selected GPS as the active navigation source, engaged the autopilot with NAV mode selected, and the aircraft flies through the desired course, then this is probably an avionics incompatibility problem. Usually this is an outdated item in your community folder, or an old modification that is no longer supported. I suspect that if you temporarily remove everything from your community folder, the aircraft will follow the desired course. If you want additional advice on what could be causing the problem, the Just Flight technical support team has gotten very good at diagnosing these exact problems with my aircraft, since they can make use of so many interacting 3rd party GPS addons

    Hi @GunStrauss , I have installed the Analog Baron 1.2 update. Do you think that the manual editing in the file "KNS80.js" is still necessary? Thanks in advance

    Yeah,
    For me, i could not get the starter to activate! Happens now & then, but restart flight with engine running works. No "health issues" on AC.

    I understand. Thanks for the explanation on this topic. Could you guys just release a livery pack with a variety of good liveries that we could use with the product? I would be willing to pay for that.

    @alehead Have you posted on the AAO forum? The developer is very responsive there.
