    @batkizoltan In my opinion, your attitude needs an urgent fix by the developer...

    From your post history, I shouldn't assume that you've been reading any of our discussion about the exact same thing regarding the Caravan Professional. As of v1.1, released today, we have our best beta sounds yet, which I think capture what you're describing very well. If you see any videos online about the Caravan v1.1 update, perhaps you can have a listen and let me know what you think. I always do my best to keep my aircraft updated, and this is something I would like to see across all my turbine aircraft.

    Hi, thank you for your reply - it is really interesting how MSFS provides the data differently. I found a way to get the name easily, cause I am also using Simhaptic with a Buttkicker - and this software is more...let's say intelligent than the Moza Cockpit. This detects automatically which aircraft gets loaded (on MSFS, X-Plane or DCS) and it shows the internal name. For your aircrafts those are: bksq-aircraft-baron bksq-aircraft-baronpress bksq-aircraft-baronturbo bksq-aircraft-turbineduke And those names work as well for the Moza presets.

    @Black-Square said in Autopilot goes from VOR to ROLL when tracking VOR: Do I misunderstand your message, or is AUTOPILOT BANK HOLD true in your last screenshot, right when we expect it to be? No, that's on me, I missed that it was set. Nice catch. Interesting though, that Wing Leveler is never true. I put the new code at the top of the Flight Director section (I was bold and already changed the O to an L but haven't had a chance to test it yet). [image: 740dbdd8-988a-4c7a-a85f-bc63ecf62a8d.png] I sat with it for a bit afterwards and thought it might simplify to something like this (sorry for the infix pseudocode, can't "think" in RPN): If A:AUTOPILOT_MASTER = True and L:lastApNavMode = True and A:AUTOPILOT_NAV1_LOCK = False Then L:var_AutopilotDisconnectTone := 1 Endif L:lastAPNavMode := A:AUTOPLOT_NAV1_LOCK The RPN issue I have with the above is that the NAV1 LOCK comparator is (I think) an "and not" operation in RPN, and I don't know how to do that. I'm not entirely sure what BANK HOLD or WING LEVELER are bringing to the party, but you surely have a better handle on that than I.

    Thanks Nick. Seems you may be right. I loaded up the 2024 version to use the 24hr historical weather, and tested it a little further. For reference it was at CYWL in the early hours just before sunrise yesterday (though dev mode might allow you to force icing). This time, I ran the right prop heat. Same result. Both props picked up speed. So a single system for now. The failures tab has only a single entry for "prop deice" so that is a clue too. Perhaps you ran into that when programming the aircraft. I also tried failing it, for science. To my surprise, the gauge still registered current and the system still worked - props picked up RPM. So that may be another one to check as part of the same investigation. A somewhat unimportant detail not to lose sleep over, but I can imagine that it'll bug you now you know it's there (sorry) Thanks, Martyn

    Please do keep track of any you find. You shouldn't find many more where the L and R are swapped. I looked at this particular airport, and that happened for a specific reason that is unlikely to occur at many other airports. If you find airports where the runway is marked 24, and the taxiway sign says 25, that's probably more common, because runways do change numbers as magnetic variation changes.

    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....

    Just sharing my experience, something I haven't encountered for a long time now, a gradual performance degradation over long flight. TLDR: reset the weather radar if sim become stuttery/crawling slow Was doing a long vatsim flight today and after around 2.5 hrs encountered stutters that won't go away. [image: cc8d0502-2e93-466d-8ca7-d0c1ae04db7b.png] After an hour or so sim came down to crawl, tried changing settings/clearing rolling etc/nothing would affect this [image: 9b599774-66de-4dff-a7b5-0c1c7dfb1306.png] Suddenly I recalled posting here ages ago about some constant FPS loss when the wx radar is turned on...so I turned the radar off, eureka!! [image: 780602a3-06e4-4fee-9bf2-54b06b5c1642.png] Now during that flight I still saw gradual performance degradation and luckily another WX reset did the trick. I do however think that the radar range also affects the performance (usually using 120NM in cruise) so I've reduced it to 40NM and that seems to be stable till the end of the flight. Just wanted to share this in case you will encounter this, not sure if this is a bug that manifests only with the TBM850 or a global sim issue with the last beta. *( and didn't reported to MSFS yet.... sorry but I've lost my faith in their bug handling and lacking communication)

    @Buzz Excellent to hear!! I'm super flattered that you guys are working on this. I got an email from the PilotEdge lead last week, but I apologize that I have been too busy with the Caravan update to respond yet. It sounds like you guys are getting along just fine by yourselves, but know that I am absolutely here to help however I can with this one, and I will respond to that email soon.

    @Rich said in Updated Installers: Hi, Thanks for the kind words about the recent update to the installers. These changes will be rolled out to all future products, and over time we will add it retrospectively to existing products as they are updated. We have this week reworked the Baron and Bonanza installers to use this feature, and we will work back over the rest in time. That's great, thank you On a longer term basis, are there any plans to introduce a JF Addon Manager style application? It would be great to have an application that handles updates & installations in one place. At the moment, the legacy installers (whilst nostalgic), are a bit clunky for 2026. The current steps to receive updates are: Receive email from JF about a product update (which can be easily missed) Navigate to the website & each time login Download the installer Run the installer I expect the reason these installers have been around so long is because their robust against piracy, which is totally fair enough. However, if there is an equally secure solution that makes this process a little easier in future - that would be amazing. Thanks team!

    @Black-Square Hi Nick, hopefully things with the Caravan have settled down enough for you to give your thoughts on some of this.

    If you are an experienced Black Square pilot I would not recommend getting the Carenado B200 - I'm not impressed. Only one radio for example .

    @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.

    @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.

    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.
