    Cheers, Nick! You're doing amazing work after the Starship and a Caravan? Beyond pleased so far. Here's to hoping a Cheyenne is in your lineup

    Good thinking! I moved checklist items around in a custom checklist because I thought runup checklist was too long. Now a had insufficient RPM to engage the standby alternator. I modified this now. Thanks for the help the both of you.

    said in Excessive turbulence at low altitude: @Black-Square from my understanding talking to A2A, they use their own flight model and the turbulence is somehow interpolated by them before effecting the aircraft. It has come to my attention that I may be wrong about this... I'm now noticing an absence of turbulance other than the occasional bumps they inject in. Kind of a huge let down if that's the case.

    If anyone reading this is willing to run an experiment, we have some instructions from Boris, who is currently traveling to FSWeekend. Would someone be able to delete the sound folder within the P.180 package, and then use MSFSLayoutGenerator.exe to rebuild the Layout.json at the root of the package folder? If the sounds are gone from the P.180 after this, but still broken in Starship, then we have learned some important information. Thank you!

    I wouldn't have a clue how to modify the electric trim speed. I think part of it may be the difficulty in simply trimming the aircraft ... it seems very difficult to trim correctly, requiring constant adjustments (not sure whether that's real life or not though) - but I do have a lot of trouble trimming to a perfectly stable state. Perhaps it's just very power/torque sensitive.

    Yep - it's real taxiways. First pic is real taxiways on and 2nd pic is with it off. I've noticed this at a few other airports too - just kept forgetting to report it. Hopefully it's a code fix and not just one off fixes. It's always the sign that's wrong. [image: 93b6eb0d-5023-4f78-b50b-54601c0868ec.jpg] [image: a004a75d-9ee3-47e0-a88c-8dd65ea043c5.jpg]

    Thanks for the great offer, but it's a little too far away... I'm from Bavaria/Germany. And my wife is terrified of spiders So maybe in the next life - but who knows....

    @Subsonic Hello! Thank you for sharing your expertise, and doing it so constructively. Unlike some of the suggestions that I get from highly knowledgeable individuals, yours are very reasonable (within the scope of what's possible in MSFS), and actually quite easy fixes. Easy fix. Already done for the next update. Same as above! Solar heating is taken into account, but I can increase its affect, and make some other changes based on what you said here. That's also an easy fix. One configuration file change. Glad I already fixed that one This is the only tough one, unfortunately. As I just explained to someone else in another thread, MSFS does not really have any support for beta range, and everything you see here is me fighting with the underlying simulation to get what I want. For whatever reason, the propeller simulation creates a decrease of RPM when reducing the blade pitch into the beta range. I've considered adding yet another patch of my own on top of this simulation to mitigate the problem, but too many patches on top of patches can become a dangerous thing in software, unfortunately. I had to read this one a few times to understand, but your explanation proved excellent in the end. In my own words, the aux boost pump behavior in auto mode is "latching", with the pump acting like the switch is in the "on" position after a loss of pressure, until the switch is recycled to the off position. Does that sound correct to you? That's also not a very difficult change. Thanks again for sharing, and I hope you're enjoying the aircraft! If you have any other questions or suggestions, you know where to find me!

    It's just a matter of convincing yourself it's acceptable. I would myself take one of those into consideration to still feel it's "realistic": Find some real current flights around the area and follow one of the routes, they will most often try to avoid the weather, but there is never a guarantee that they will fully succeed. Dodging the storms + a possible alternate landing is also fun. Treat the simulator as a simulation exercise and not real flying for a change. Bad weather can always catch you off-guard so you are just doing an exercise in a simulator to be ready and understand what awaits you in this specific plane when everything goes sideways.

    Hey Nick @Black-Square. Question from the Dev... can you ask the dev at JustFlight to post a specific example of the EXACT URL that is used to trigger a failure? The docs list all the failure variables, but never seem to mention the specific elements of the URL, or the port, etc I was under the impression it was straight HTTP calls directly to a custom listener....he's literally listing URL paramters in the docs. [1:00 PM]Saturday, March 14, 2026 1:00 PM if you can post a message asking him to verify what I listed above, and whether this can be triggered by a vanilla HTTP request, outside of SimConnect, that would give me everything I need.

    I think A DC3 with Piston and PT6 engine options would be insane too. Imagine a Boris P&W Supercharged Wasp engine...

    @Outermarker Oh that's really cool! I have a wishlist thread on the main msfs forums asking for a native G500/600 architecture. The G1000 is cool and all, but it's limited to just a handful of airframes - can't just drop it into any plane and be realistic. Same with the G3X - it is certified for the Bo, but wouldn't work for the Baron because it's not multi-engine compatible. That's why the G500/600 would be perfect. You could drop it into just about anything and connect it to a GNS or GTN, and still have a lot of the familiar Garmin functionality of the G1000/G3X.

    Just a reminder that this was announced. I'm practicing my dual engine failure, tea pouring 1G barrel roll in the Barron. https://fselite.net/content/black-square-reveals-previously-unannounced-twin-in-development/

    As long as it's an option - and not forced upon the user -, it's fine. I personally don't want anything turning red, blue, etc.

    @SadBucket you don’t necessarily need to rummage between different pages. Sky4Sim has already implemented a plugin that integrates its tablet into the MSFS tablet - for instance. If you want to use only Sky4Sim’s features, you can: just select the Sky4Sim icon and the S4S interface will appear and can navigate only the features provided by S4S — the only difference is that it shows up inside the MSFS tablet. It definitely improves immersion, especially in aircraft that already have the “3D MSFS tablet” available.

    @jmarkows said in Mapping BKSQ switches not shown in MSFS2024 to Honeycomb Alpha/Bravo: Things like LVars, HVars, etc. need external programs to map them to controllers, the base sim can't do it. Mobiflight is a free tool that does that and has quite the community sourced library of variables already set up. I've never used it to speak to how easy it is to use. There is also FSUIPC, which I use, but has a rather dated UI and it's very manual. There's also SPAD.Next and Axes and Ohs, all of which are payware and come recommended by their users. Thanks - I really appreciate the response. I did some more digging today and have now downloaded SPAD.Next (14 day trial) and found some good examples online.

    @SadBucket I think you can fix that issue by changing a few lines in the right config files within the livery structure. I did this with some F28 and other liveries quite a while back, before the F28 was updated to native. I'm sorry I don't have time to dig through and look for it right now, but I'm pretty sure I found the method in this thread: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/unofficial-guide-to-conversion-of-liveries-for-msfs-2024-2020-legacy-aircraft-only/677083/34

    Checked it out - found the anchor, found the clipboard too, thank you! I will thoroughly testfly this aircraft, probably somewhere in BC, Canada (as of today ). The manual suggests it's a pretty detailed aircraft which I didn't expect.

    @RPGamerous thats so true blue bushflyers itinerary. And why not, you are from Alaska afterall! To tell you the truth, i am greatly inspired myself from shows like ice pilots, channels like missionary bush pilot etc alongwith multiple books that i have read on alaskan and papuan bush flying. So much so that i have even done my research on bush trips in alaska and shall be visiting Africa this year. Currently i am flying (in sim) round the globe. Started off anchorage and flying totally no gps and only dead reckoning hand fly. Currently about to cross into greenland and then onto europe and Africa. So far did in norseman and cessna 172 and now in dc3. Waiting for caravan pro. I like default caravan but just that its glass..
