    @RPGamerous Thanks very much for the information! After agonizing for days both inside the default MSFS2024 Control Setttings as well as by way of FSUIPC, I finally was able to map the Condition Lever axis and the Detent Gate Button successfully using Axis and Oh's! I mapped the axis between 0 (high idle) and 1 (low idle), since 2 is cutoff and if I map from 0 to 2 the lever goes into cutoff towards the bottom of the axis range, which I don't want since this could cause me to inadvertently cutoff fuel during flight. Now the axis moves from High Idle in the top 50% of its range, to Low Idle in the bottom 50% of its range. I button mapped the detent gate to a "Key Down Event" (2)(Cutoff) and "Key Up Event" (1)(Low Idle) ... The axis and the button maps must exclusively use the "MSFS IEs: FUEL_1_CONDITION_LEVER" options. I will leave this verbose information and these two screenshots here for posterity. Perhaps there is some way to do this in MSFS directly or via FSUIPC, but I don't know what it is. I might just map all my other axes and detent buttons in AAO as well.

    @tlvid I usually do a big round of updates in the summer, but I have been a little delayed this year due to forces beyond my control (house struck by lightning last week). I will likely focus my attention on updates as soon as the Commander 114 is released in a couple weeks. Sorry for the wait!

    @MD82 I don't think that the interior is to quiet, but exterior is to loud. If I turned the volume down to make the exterior quieter, I would barely hear most cockpit sounds like switches or buttons

    Yeah, didn't work. My hardware is good but I think you hit on what is wrong. Your commands (at least for the GPS units) are not getting to Hangar Control. I can bind the other controls in the plane but not them. Le t me check with Mike at Hangar Control and get back to you. Thanks.

    @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.

    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 - I mean no matter if the first GPS is the TDS GTN 750 or the WT GNS 530 the second WT GNS 530 always acts as Com1/Nav1, resulting in two #1s. If I swap out the second GNS 530 for the standard Nav/Com radio it behaves as Com2/Nav2 as it should. Hope that's clearer.

    This is so cool!!! I wonder how difficult it would be to implement a G3X, or a G1000 suite into his aircraft. They have so much G1000 hardware on the market but no Black Square level planes. Just ordered a set myself actually. As wrong as that sounds I really think with the Hardware on the market and the great work done by WT he really needs to add or someone should help him add the Garmin Glass as an option for his future aircraft. For home cockpit builders and IRL practice it would be a godsend.

    @ramonesg I wanted to have the news update done for Monday, but my house was struck by lightning last night causing some damage, and I'm still discovering what has been fried. The strike blew some light switches straight out of the wall and across the room! Luckily, all my aircraft are safe, but my video editing computer (which I was using at the time) seems to have received some damage. Hopefully I will be back up and running with a recovered disk this week, and there was no actual damage to the hardware.

    @Black-Square My uncle used to be VP at Viking Air (Now the revived DHC). I may be able to help with finding contacts high up at DHC if that was ever an interest to you...

    I've often modified engine performance by taking its weight into account, using all the data I could find online. I've never shared my work on this because I don't have a real pilot's license.

The windshiel heat is on as you can se on the schematic table. And Still no weather addons in the game. just defult live weather. The ice builds up as soon as there is clouds and temps in the negatives, it can disappear if it gets clear skies but will return if I go in some clounds. And the heat is on at all time.

    I opened a ticket with SI on this also. For me, it wasn't doing this a couple weeks or so ago and doesn't do it when the SI app is closed. Must be they are turning com1 back on in MSFS due to tickets with people that don't know how it works. X-Plane 12 works perfectly, I can switch mics and turn off radio receivers without the com1 receiver coming back on after a few seconds with the SI app connected.

    @Black-Square I've never encountered a problem with anyone's hot-swapping (as far as I know), so I assume most 3rd party devs must be doing it "responsibly," so to speak. In that same discussion, an A2A dev is talking about how many variants they would have to have for their planes if they wanted to accommodate customers' requests without hot-swapping... I don't envy any of you the job of pleasing all of us lol

    Ah, thank you for uploading the video. That's exactly what I needed to see what you were talking about. That is an artifact of MSFS 2024's exposure compensation. You might be familiar with exposure compensation as the bright white skies you experience for a few seconds when looking up from a dark instrument panel. There are settings related to exposure compensation in the simulator's graphics menu, and you might be able to find more online about how to fine tune this feature. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you in the meantime.

    @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.
