    Started the sim fresh, no SPAD. Flew towards a VOR 85 miles away. Zero disconnects. FIred up SPAD halfway through the flight. Zero disconnects. The plot thickens, but I'll add some more observations this week, time permitting.

    Nope! You're the first one to notice! All fixed, thanks. Thank you for telling me now, instead of the day after I release a Caravan update, haha.

    Thanks Nick! I have guessed a limitation of approx. 15% but I will try with a quarter. I assume that one quarter tank is meant as one quarter of the main tanks which is 15.5 gallons, or approx. 104lbs/47kg (Jet-A).

    How do I enable co-pilot visibility in the cockpit in MFS2020? I couldn't do it on my tablet—the seat was empty.

    @Black-Square Hey Nick, Will the new PT6 model be implemented for the starship in 2024?

    @vliah There's a clickspot below the red "feather" label on the throttle quadrant to show/hide all the levers. You have an interesting suggestion. I haven't heard anyone else complain about this, because I guess they must have dual lever inputs. Unfortunately, overriding hardware inputs is always a decision made very carefully as a developer, because the last thing I would want is someone jumping in the airplane for the first time and not being able to get their hardware propeller levers to work for some reason. I'll think about if there is any other way to do this, though. Sometimes it takes few days, but I might come up with something when I least expect it. Thanks for the suggestion! I can definitely see how it would be helpful for some hardware.

    @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

    I can't wait to hop back into the TBM. Did my first long trip (Netherlands - Japan) in it when I first began simming 3 years ago! This looks fantastic @Black-Square

    Thanks, appreciate if you can improve your prop animation for 2024. The vast majority of developers get this completely wrong, most of the Asobo default single engine prop aircraft are borderline unusable because of their terrible prop animation effects. Yours is not terrible at all, but can still use some polish when it comes to not seeing individual blurred blades. In reality you simply don't see those at all at medium and high RPMs, it's a clear disc, so no flickering when looking through the prop. Obviously this animation is less critical on twin props when one is not forced to look through the disc. But if you could carry over these 2024 improvements to the Bonanza, that would be superb

    +1 to this - I also have the "other" one, and while it scratches an itch - a BlackSquare version with all that entails, would blow the other one out of the water. Something about the Avantis have always appealed to me, but sadly have never had a super high quality one in the sim that also functions to the level I'd hoped.

    @Ratman I don’t really see this coming. I really think it is a detriment to continue to support MSFS2020. There is no walk around mode in 2020 anyway and the only way it could be a thing is if you click it in 3rd person and that would cause way more problems than it would be worth. It’s harder to support 2 sims and I think 2024 is actually more stable than 2020 right now. If you have the internet speed to support it I would absolutely make the jump if not, I would absolutely make yourself heard about a need for an offline mode in the MSFS forums because I think that is the only thing keeping people on 2020.

    @Black-Square said in New and improved state saving: @Bishop I've been up all night monitoring the 114 release, so I've been slowly working on the code rewrites required to bring this to all my other aircraft. Glad tp hear you're looking forward to it, because this one is a lot of work. Wow, I recall you mentioning somewhere on the forum long ago just what a time consuming project that would be.... Many thanks and appreciation! Wild to get that kind of enhancement for free.

    Glass out does a pretty good job of finding most screens and instruments (not all). Most of these are from glassout - they look exactly like the starship cockpit above. [image: 3c0b01b5-61dc-413a-9454-08c6e6eafa5a.jpeg]

    @Butsey19 I used to fly an E model years ago (many years ago lol). I would absolutely love a C model too. I know I'm asking too much but it would be amazing if he did a release that included an early period model, mid period model, and late period model. So like a C then a K or TLS then the acclaim. I would drop some serious cash on that lol!

    Nick's statement that the Twin Commanders are "the first Black Square aircraft modelled and textured professionally" is the most unbelievably humble instance of "selling yourself short"... So stoked for everything to come. P.S. Mayhaps could we get an FAA Flight Check bird with the King Air? Although their B300s have a ton of modifications (to such a degree that they are hardly recognizable as KA300s), would it be possible to represent some of the superficial differences on the exterior? (E.g. the two window deletes on the left side, extra antennas, winglets.)

    @alanfernandes Yes you are correct but a lot of 3rd party devs have added in other features that aren’t included with the base working title avionics. Like for the G3000/G5000 Skyward developed a whole Datalink functionality with it and it has some protections built in. Especially now that we know that the King Airs are gonna be the 300 and the 1900D both of them could get garmins. The 1900D has a slightly specialized one called the G950nxi and the 300 has the regular G1000nxi.
