    @Blackadder24 said in Dynamic registration numbers still not working!: on Xbox This is the other thread on the topic. I've asked that we prompt Asobo to fix this again, just this week.

    @Tadeus72 Do not get me started on this. It is a mess and not only with BSQ Planes. It is a Sim issue in my mind. The only way I get this somehow consistently working is the following: Spawn at your departure location Restart the flight before you move the plane. When I do spawn cold & dark I usually hop into the plane and do the restart from inside. After shutdown on the destination airport I do restart the flight, in case of C&D I hop into the plane and push than “end flight”. If I follow these steps it does more or less consistently save the flight in the logbook and also does the state save.

    Marty and I have this sorted out. The uppercase characters from the Star Trek BT font are acceptable for the registration number.

    @Black-Square Sorry about that one - for some reason I thought real taxiways changed the pavement markers too. Here's another one today: CYHZ Runway 32/14 - all of the signs say 23-05. Runway 23-05 is correctly marked. Let me know if you want me to continue to tag you on these - or just post and let you get to them when you can.

    I am now flying the B36T. I still shake my head about needing to manually twist the needle after every waypoint on the GPS flight plan, if I'm using TDS GTN750Xi. I just want to check in as it's been a year since the above dialog - is there still no way for the aircraft's HSI to automatically follow the GPS flight plan? Just can't get over someone who would invest in a turbo-prop and the surrouding technology, and not have the equipment to reduce pilot workload, keeping the eyes outside of the aircraft as much as possible. Just wanted to ensure I wasn't missing anything. TDS benefits: includes the IF in the transition list for RNAV's with no feeders (ex: KSMO RNAV 21, PMSS does not show DARTS, TDS (correctly) does. PMSS benefits: allows me to DTK sync to simulate having the equipment that can follow the GPS flight plan.

    Hi, after updating to SU5, my condition lever does not move beyond cut-off, thus I cannot start the engine. This pertains control by mouse, keyboard or external hardware binding. In the cockpit, the click stops to increase/decrease the lever position have disappeared. Seeking for help!

    @Black-Square On #2 I meant an accumulator failure.. It was a slip on my part. I had reported this to you a few months ago. I edited my OP to correct my mistake. On #3, when I am demonstrating procedures for OEI, sometimes I can't get the prop to fully feather and I have to dive to get the inop engine RPM well above 1500 rpm and then quickly pull to feather detent. It's never that specific to get the prop to feather in the Baron.

    If I understand what you're looking to do, this would be determined solely by the font you include in your package. You should be able to accomplish almost any effect you're looking for, so long as you're willing to edit the font.

    Indeed, it is correct! You can see the early renders here, but an update is long overdue. The aircraft is essential done now, with the exception of sound. I recorded sound from a turbonormalized 114 this past September, and Boris will begin work very soon. The 114 will be my next aircraft released, which I'm expecting to be this June or July. I've had a lot of fun developing some new immersion features and unique avionics for it, so I'm glad you're looking forward to it! Yes, it will include the aftermarket turbonormalizing package, three-blade scimitar propeller, and optional electric air conditioner too.

    I totally support this idea. I've been wishing for a realistic Twin Otter for ages. The Aerosoft version for MSFS2020 was aesthetically awesome. But the systems, flight dynamics, and turboprop simulation left a good bunch to be desired. The default one isn't even worth our time mentioning. I am very impresed with the Blacksquare Caravan and I know they would make an amazing Twin Otter.

    @Buzz thanks for posting that, the Command 114, 685 and 690B look interesting, especially the 690B. Hoping the King Air is next to release.

    @SchnauzerMan Hello, I am here, always working on my airplanes I don't really know. Just not enough posts to warrant it, I guess. Just Flight manages the forums. I just develop the aircraft. Have you updated your TDS installation lately? Those all sound like issues inherent to the Working Title G3X and TDS GTNxi interconnectivity, not the aircraft specifically. I haven't heard any other reports like this, despite the aircraft being update about a year ago with these new features, and being tested by the TDS developer himself, so hopefully it's just an outdated installation. It would also be helpful to know if you're using MSFS 2020 or 2024, in case we need to provide more information for him to investigate.

    @Rich Hi Rich! I think I have noticed a bug with new installers you're using for the Caravan Pro. On initial install, you can select a custom directory, which I did for v1.0. However, after downloading the updated v1.1 installer from the website just now, here is what happened. Normally, the installers can handle updates themselves without having to uninstall the old version. However, this time, even though it said in the installers UI that is was updating from v1 to v1.1 - it did not respect my original custom directory. It deleted the old v1.0 files, and then installed the new v1.1 into the MSFS 2024 community folder like the legacy installers would. Could it be rectified so that when updating an existing addon with InstallShield, it respects your custom install directory of the existing installed addon? Thank you

    @Buzz It’s not about staring at the plane from the outside, it’s about visual consistency. Since the spinners are part of the pilot's field of view, a static ice effect on a rotating part looks like a glaring oversight. Black Square is known for 'study-level' systems, so the visuals should match that level of detail. As I mentioned, Just Flight has already proven it’s possible to do it right.

    Sorry to hear that. To the best of my knowledge, I haven't done anything different in the configuration files between any of my aircraft in this respect. I know this feature has been inconsistent in MSFS 2024 since release, however. Perhaps someone else will chime in with some advice. You could also try Just Flight Support. Since they deal with a lot more aircraft than just my own, they might have seen this before.

    I'll fly in any weather, as long as I don't deliberately take off in it and instead let it surprise me at my destination.
