    @5631klaus Sorry you're dealing with this issue. The problem you're describing matches some symptoms that I'm very familiar with, but I haven't seen anyone mention them in a while. This happens as a result of the hot-swapping GPS units fighting for control over the autopilot, but usually happens after changing the avionics selection. Again, I haven't heard of it happening for anyone in a while, however. It's also happened that something in the community folder is conflicting, like some modification for a GPS unit. Have you tried this with a completely empty community folder and no hardware connected? In theory, that would be the best test. I think you might be right that the frame rate issue could be related, but possibly causal. If there is a huge delay between the avionics loading and the aircraft configuring itself, it's possible that might cause the issue. Perhaps if you find the source of your frame rate issues, the problem might solve itself. Sorry that's not a definitive answer, but I hope it gives you some direction. You might also have some luck writing to Just Flight Support. They've helped many of my users with GPS/Autopilot related issues, and might have some troubleshooting tricks up their sleeves. In the meantime, I'm happy to help here!

    Like I said, once you have sampled it... you will never go back! All of Nicks aircraft fly so nicely with FFB, but I still cannot believe that Microsoft or Asobo can't embrace it more completely, or at all, seemingly.

    @afowle23 Most of the time when this comes up, it's because auto-mixture is enabled in the simulator menu. If that's not it, then please feel free to supply more details, and I will be happy to help

    I see that the TBM has just gotten a new update. Really looking forward to the same sort of improvements being carried over to the Starship - especially the state saving.

    @Jayman88 Did you check the Activation Details for Real Taxiways 2020 under the "Your Orders" tab on your Just Flight account? Unfortunately, I know that @Voice-of-Reason is away on holiday right now, but I will try to get you an answer from someone at Just Flight if one of the support staff does not see this post in short order. Sorry for the wait!

    Breaking: I found a way to solve the problem It can probably be done smarter, but the way it was solved was to delete (or rename) the Packages folder, MSFS will rebuild it after a restart, copy Bsq King Air and Asobo King Air from MSFS2020 to the Community folder and restart the sim. I am soooo happy, because now I can run the Gps via Glassout. And it turned out that I was not the only one with this problem, my brother in law had the same problem. But @Black-Square : pretty pretty please with sugar on the top: please release a 2024 version. I got cat pictures

    Sorry you guys are dealing with this distraction! I've tried every lighting condition and simulator setting that I can think of, and can't reproduce it for myself. Clearly, I don't doubt what you're seeing, I just don't know how I can deal with it. I think it's likely the master caution/warning, but there is nothing I can do to control the screen-space reflections. Unlike shadows, if you can see the annunciators, then so can the shader. If you really think this changed with the last update to the TBM, then it would likely be caused by the cubemap I [reluctantly] added for the instrument glass reflections. I can give you two ways to test this, but one is a lot easier than the other: If you go into the aircraft's community folder and locate cockpit.cfg, you can try changing the first line to cockpit_type = 0. If that solves the problem, then we know the culprit, but you guys may have to fight my users who want instrument glass reflections for the solution!

    @DoubleG01 You’re right. I recognize that I went too far by repeatedly tagging Nick to ask for news about the King Air. It’s my favorite aircraft, and I’m really looking forward to its release. I let that excitement turn into unnecessary insistence, and I apologize to Nick and the community for that. I truly admire Black Square’s work and understand that I need to respect the team’s time and priorities. I’ll wait more patiently for future updates and stop repeating the tags. Thank you for pointing this out.

    Thanks, a while back I posted about building a Baron 58 simpit and someone somewhere (can't remember what site) told me that they'd see me in 2 years and I'd probably hate the Baron at that point. Well it's been less than a year and I'm still flying the wings off of em

    @Black-Square Thanks for the response! Yeah of course it makes sense to not delay updates that are ready any further. I note on the github of one of the creators they have added the mod as a separate variant to a few payware aircraft all ready. The downside is it isnt toggleable of course. Also says "The issue with custom variants for third-party aircrafts, such as PA28/38 is that any update to the base aircraft can break the G5 unit. Due to that, it's better to request support for custom variants directly from manufacturer of the aircraft." So it seems there is a desire for it to be implemented in a similar way to the PMS50 etc. thanks.

    Oil level and consumption - why it's missing from every Black Square aircraft?

    I own nearly all of the BlackSquare aircraft and they are great to fly, but I fall somewhere in the middle on this discussion. I would very much like to see oil consumption be part of the equation. but it won't keep me from buying more of Nick's creations. Not sure why he hasn't included it, with all the detail in other areas.

    @Helix I don't sorry. There other things that need to happen outside just writing the code.

    @Black-Square Wait, do you mean within 2026 or within 1 year from this post? Either way, looking forward to your work, which unlike another recent release, is well worth the price...

    Hi, I have a question. Can you tell me if you're developing both the Beechcraft 1900D and Beechcraft 1900C for both MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024? Thank you so much for your help. Sincerely, Connor Richey

    Appologies to Nick as quite frankly any aircraft he makes will be a day one purchase from myself. I have a real hankering for a Swearingen Merlin and I think that would go rather well in your turboprop lineup. Although i think my want of the week will no doubt change again

    I'm all for providing choices for people, especially if they draw more people to check out Nick's excellent planes. I won't be using those big screens, but I'm sure they'll appeal to a lot of folks who don't want to fly analog. Having said that, in the forums and discords I'm in for so many flightsim devs, wow, every avionics suite under the sun is being requested of pretty much every dev. I'm glad I don't have to try to please everyone!

    @Black-Square If you don't mind me asking, what do you change to make them more visible during the day? Something in the .fx file? Would love to apply that to my light mods on .to. You can DM if you'd like. Thanks Nick!!

    @Mustang said in No saving state: an 'export/import' feature on the tablet to save/load state files locally I feel the same way, and don't trust anything stored anywhere I can't keep on my desk. Unfortunately, the MSFS architecture purposefully makes it impossible to save files locally from JavaScript. The "work" folder is exclusively for WASM instruments, I believe, but don't quote me.

    @Black-Square said in Just Massively Impressed: Thanks for letting me know! I often wonder how many of my users are out there flying my older planes, versus how much of this tends to be "fad" driven. I'm the kind of person who would pick a couple of my favorite airplanes and fly them forever, so it's harder for me to imagine how some users fly something new every couple of months or even weeks! The Analog King Air was my first purchase and the only reason I still have MSFS 2020 installed on my computer. I have all your other aircraft, but I always come back to the King Air. Really looking forward to the Model 300 in MSFS 2024!!!
