    Yes, that's correct. I must have eliminated that variable during development. You can use the B:Var, K:TOGGLE_PROPELLER_DEICE, A:PROP DEICE SWITCH:1, or set the circuit directly with A:CIRCUIT SWITCH ON:30.

    I found the POH online that I believe this procedure is from, and it describes a 1970's Baron. I see no reference to this system in the late model Barons after the 1984 redesign. If I'm reading between the lines correctly, I think this is also an antiquated safety system, which requires the pilot to manually disable the autopilot and/or trim servos via another switch on the panel while simultaneously holding the disconnect switch, as the yokes equipped with this trim disconnect button do not have the now common two-stage AP/FD disconnect button. I imagine this is still somewhat common in 60's and 70's airplanes today, but I have yet to encounter one. You learn something new every day!

    I’ve identified the issue — it turned out to be a simple misconfiguration in SPAD.neXt.

    @Black-Square Thank you very much for the quick reply. Everything is beautiful and works great — the only downside is the persistence saving. I guess I’ll have to come to terms with that. It is a bit strange that the Hobbs shows 2 hours, which means it must have been saved at some point. I have a feeling that the method of ending the flight and then immediately reloading the aircraft, and only after that exiting to the main menu, actually worked — I’ll verify it tomorrow. Otherwise, I really don’t know what else to try. At this point I’ll probably just have to wait. I’m not sure how others are dealing with it. Most likely the same way — they’re waiting too.

    @hangar_101 @kityatyi I might be missing something here, but what is there to "not work" in the Bonanza? There should be nothing stopping you from creating this modification for any of my aircraft. Obviously you need to position all the characters correctly for each aircraft, but this is no different than I would have to do to include this in the base installation. As I've explained, I just made the executive decision not to do this before Asobo "fixes" the regressions with character models in MSFS 2024. That conversation is still ongoing on the developer forums, btw.

    No change in timeline as things stand. I'll check on progress of manual and product page etc for you. That's possibly looking like not being this month though as we're just days away from that. I'll check and let you know as soon as I can. Thank you.

    I haven't tried that yet. I did a flight today that worked OK so I'm going to cross my fingers and hope it was a one-time glitch! Thanks for the reply, you make great aircraft

    Oh OK, thanks. Would be much better if you could assign unique registrations to each livery (as you say, the UI definitely gives this impression). Odd, because before you change the number to one of your choice, all the original reg numbers are different livery to livery (from memory). Cheers.

    Agreed, same reason I only ever use the G530 and G430 combo.

    I started up my sim to see if I could find out what went wrong and the whole thing was suddenly working as it should! Creepy. I will try to remember your gem - "can be fixed usually by just toggling the hot-swapping radio configuration." Cheers

    I appreciate you having a look. Let me see about making a video. FYI, this is in relation to MSFS, not 2024.

    @KAPA-Flyer Yeah, I have to agree with you, too. When I bought those products, I wasn't looking for the Black Square level but for the "6 pack" "analog" look.

    @DocZ That's exactly what I've done with all my Black Square planes, no issues here.

    Yes, the idea is cool, I would also like a plane, and even with a g1000. But while I'm enjoying the A36TC, I've already conquered 3 continents.

    @Bishop I'd be very surprised if it weren't an analog. I mean when has Black Square ever not done steam gauges? Ok, Starship, but that doesn't count that 80s glass cockpit is rad.

    I did find the tablet option for the tail numbers, thanks. And best I can tell, it looks like some stuff does save, I'll have to test further. I'm wondering if there's a workaround using a backup state.cfg file, pasted back in after the sim starts but before choosing the aircraft. Probably won't work, but maybe worth a try.

    The problem I am having is on the PC not xBox. I did try it on the xBox tonight and it was there. Same problem as last time I rented it. Main cockpit view was the ceiling. Could not get any other cockpit views with Ctrl-1-Ctrl-0. No I don't use Shift for views. Could not get any views I created to save.
