    @Rich Thanks for looking into it Rich. I hope it doesn't sound like I am frustrated with you guys. I know you're up against a rock and a hard place here. It just seems like this has gotten worse with my recent aircraft, and the installer is, quite literally, a users first impression of my aircraft. I had some suggestions I made in a previous email on the subject, but I'm not sure that ever got to you. We can talk about it over email soon. Thanks again.

    Hello, It only happens on the ground: when I activate the autopilot, the trim starts vibrating and spins all the way to the maximum setting. Video : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EjTuKhl4lgUhRYjPjlkXrelh8NdwBSQY/view?usp=drive_link Once in flight, everything works perfectly; when I engage the autopilot, there is no erratic trim behavior, and everything runs smoothly. I should mention that I am using MSFS 2024, the Caravan (version 1.2), and VKB controllers. I tested disconnecting the controllers (leaving only the keyboard and mouse connected), but the problem persists. Thank you in advance for your help.

    @avnx Not yet. When did you message them? The support team is usually pretty quick about such things. Sorry for the delay.

    @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

    @Black-Square Ok thank you, I thought you had already transferred this fix to the Commander 114, but I wasn't sure because I noticed that the beacon light of the Caravan is much more visible during the day than on the Commander 114. I know the core issue is with Asobo, they really need to step up on this.

    @Black-Square Hi Nick, looking forward to the upgrades....I see echo19 has created a soundpack for theTBM850....Will any of this batch of upgrades include an official BlackSquare TBM850 soundpack update? Cheers James

    Surely some self control is all that's needed there! Perhaps what would be nice is something like the old fsx a2a aircraft where on the pop up/tablet etc you can choose to inspect the aircraft which when lists the damage/wear and tear.

    Disclaimer, not a dev, info might be gappy or misremembered: FS9, FSX, and MSFS have for ever and always had essentially no way to realistically implement proper turboprop simulation due to core sim limitations, which I'm sure you might know. In recent years BS and a few other developers have managed to squeeze somewhat realistic behaviour out of the platform despite its faults, but still it's only ever been possible to properly recreate turboprop physics by running the addon's physics outside the sim which is rare (Majestic is the only one I know to have done it). Nick is a magician, but even so there's only so much that can be done in recreating a turboprop within MSFS, at least up until now. SU6 included a lot of turbine simulation improvements in its change log, hopefully this will translate to an easier life for devs and a more faithful recreation for us consumers. It's all hope for now though, I haven't seen any devs comment on it yet and it wouldn't be very surprising to find out that the changes hasn't helped all that much, but my fingers are very much crossed! Edit: Again, with no specific knowledge, it's also possible that the SU6 improvements could be great for a ground-up project, but require a complete rework of existing products. Just speculation.

    @Black-Square Nick, you told me to reach out to you via the support system a few times, and then confirmed that you received my email, but I've never received a response from you. This goes all the way back to Starship's release. I'd be happy to offer you any references/insight/testing you may need, in addition to access to my 840, if you'd like. If you're considering an MT 5 bladed propeller option, my airplane has them.

    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.
