Steam Gauge Overhaul

I manged to get it working somehow reliably two times. I disabled my VPN as I've read in another forum that State Saving is actually saved onto Microsoft's servers (truly horrible choice), so I figured NordVPN might be a problem. The same post also told about the importance of choosing the same livery, as SS is tied to that also. This is not on the manual. I noticed that sometimes the livery is pre-selected, some other times it reverts back to the default one. In the first case, I've found it's good to actually select another livery, then select the previous one manually, and some of the variables are recalled: engine health, active failures, fuel on board, windowed open, cabin thermometer. The rest is always reset (including the radios).

Thanks for you answer. I actually have tried to map it to the mixture, but it did not work, perhaps I should try it again, I always start with looking if a Generic thing will work before looking for a specific Black Square thing. Btw: I looove your King Air, I have a real King Air simulator that was used for pilote training until last year. I am rebuilding it for Msfs, and off cause chose to do it on your King Air

This is a well known bug in Working Title's GNS implementation. I have brought it up with them several times, and spent many hours editing their code myself in an attempt to find a solution. I've even tried other workarounds on my end based on the unexpected behavior that I've observed, but the end result was still not consistent for all users and all installations. I just brought it to their attention again recently, but I think they are always plenty busy on new projects, unfortunately.

Thank you very much to all.

This happens so much with so many different things (not just imported BSQ aircraft for what it's worth) in 2024 I just leave collision off. The common denominator for me was "various 3rd party scenery": in my case most often it would happen turning off of runway 35 at twy A at Tacoma Narrows (TIW). I have the Orbx scenery for it and there is just some seam or misalignment in various parts of the field that cause this, whatever it is is invisible to me. I've also seen it at Anacortes taking off south, multiple planes, same thing: you crashed! I also have a 3rd party scenery there, too. I thought I was doing something wrong til I disabled collision and magically everything is fine. No random bumps in the physics, just smooth sailing. If I had to guess, that may be your issue: if you haven't, try another field with just the basic 2024 scenery and maybe as flat a runway as you can find. Failing that, disable collision, though I can understand not wanting to.

I didn’t see any warning lights on either the glare shield or the pedestal, although it’s possible my view of that pedestal light was blocked by the throttles.

@hangar_101 Just want to say Thank You for your Spad config above! Very much appreciated! You dont happen to know if there is any repository for Lvars for BKSQ aircraft? Especially Steam Gauge series? Regards, David.

@hangar_101 In my case, using the Bravo instead of the Alpha, this works quite well in MSFS 2024. The only difference in the way the I used it was for one of the on/off switches instead of a button, so I did not use the [SWITCH_ENGINE (Device)] in the upper portion. Cheers!

I've had one other report of this nature with Starship, but I don't believe anything changed in this respect between the early versions of the Bonanza and the later ones. I'm also not sure there is anything I can do about it. The flight director's behavior is related to the autopilot control constants, which I tune for automatic flight. As you can imagine, a sensitive FD while hand flying is much less of an issue to the average flight simmer than an oscillating autopilot. I could filter the output of the flight director, but I'm not sure that would actually make it any easier to adhere to while flying.

Keeping the battery bus thread alive... I've finally had some down time that allowed me to install v1.4 of the Analog King Air. Loving it so far. Want to run something by the group to make sure its not a "me" problem. I think the taxi lights should run off of the battery/center bus. But they don't seem to be that way in MSFS 2020. Has anyone else noticed this? Stefan

Absolutely, yes, if I have any more questions I will surely ask, so far things are looking pretty good, I been away from msfs2020 quite some time because I was just tired of the stuttering, the poor frame rate performance and just having to set almost everything to low settings on my older PC, I now have a new PC with a 4090 graphics card and it has much better performance, I was rusty for a while there having been away, especially with the avionics, but now its coming back, I am sure things can get busy for you so any future questions I will try to make worth the while. Thanks again Bob

Update - problem was solved by re-installing MSFS 2020.

@PerrySpace said in analog Caravan and analog King Air 350i in the MSFS 2024? How is it done?: Is there a general problem, so they would´nt do it in MSFS2024. Or is there a correct way to make them funktionible? Do some one know the correct or singular working way to bring them up? As stated above, the rules keep changing... but for now (SU2), you can make these addons work by copying the 2020 base aircraft to your Community folder. For the King Air, that would be the entire asobo-aircraft-kingair350 folder.

@Black-Square I noticed the Bezel as an install, ok,...it's not.

Yes, thanks again to you guys, RPGGamerous and Black Square Dev, you guys have been most helpful, and so I got right to it and now things are back on track, I didn't waste no time because I wanted to get to the bottom of all this as the King Air is my all time favorite Turbo Prop, and yes, this Analog King Air realism is not lacking in the cockpit like the default Aircraft, there has been an extraordinary amount of attention to detail placed on this add-on so I don't anticipate any future issues as its pretty solid but I appreciate the offer of help if needed, you can never know for sure.

Yes exactly. One GTN750 can do holds on airways (which is required in real life), the other (PMSS50) cannot. That's why I moved to TDS. But it sounds like you are saying the PMSS50 has its own AP logic which I would have to give higher weighting vs holds, so I will probably switch back. Win some and lose some. Regardless, your aircraft fleet are outstanding.

@rbringh I bet what happened to me was related to the beta -- I forgot that I had joined the beta briefly, but then left because I wanted to join some group flights with folks who weren't on the beta. Strange that in my case the planes were actually removed from my Community folder though.
