    Daft thought, but to satisfy all, could a toggle br built into the EFB? At least, that way you can have high confidence that you can satisfy everyone.

    I noticed all kinds of autopilot issues when I switched from having the full TDS setup to a radio-only aircraft with dual kx155B. Could engage flight director and autopilot but things went a bit weir from there. Couldn't get the altitude and rate to work properly HDG, ALT, and NAV wouldn't illuminate on the KFC 150 While I could get it to hold altitude and get heading to work, nothing illuminated on the 150. I tried swapping radios then going back but nothing consistently worked. I think I got it to work properly 1x out of the last 5 flights. Restarting flight didn't fix. When doing an AP test, the yoke would turn right despite the heading bug set straight ahead, and trim would go full up despite altitude not being engaged.

    I published a KNS 81 Rnav for the BS Baron in the Air Manager playground today. Go to Development -> Store (on the upper right) and then in the drop down on the upper left go to Playground. It's listed under the Black Square Beechcraft Baron 58 - KNS 81 RNAV. I suggest glassout to mirror the display. Only thing that isn't working is the volume - and I haven't animated the buttons as of yet. Everything else here is thanks to AVNX. This is it in my air manager panel: [image: 406e5069-dbdc-4031-bb2c-05d75af678af.jpg]

    Trying to decide what I want the starship avionics to look like though - how lit up, etc. That was part of the mismatch above - have some different ones to look at while flying and decide which way I want to go.

    @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 If you don't mind me asking, what do you change to make them more visible during the day? Something in the .fx file? Would love to apply that to my light mods on .to. You can DM if you'd like. Thanks Nick!!

    @Mustang said in No saving state: an 'export/import' feature on the tablet to save/load state files locally I feel the same way, and don't trust anything stored anywhere I can't keep on my desk. Unfortunately, the MSFS architecture purposefully makes it impossible to save files locally from JavaScript. The "work" folder is exclusively for WASM instruments, I believe, but don't quote me.

    @Black-Square said in Just Massively Impressed: Thanks for letting me know! I often wonder how many of my users are out there flying my older planes, versus how much of this tends to be "fad" driven. I'm the kind of person who would pick a couple of my favorite airplanes and fly them forever, so it's harder for me to imagine how some users fly something new every couple of months or even weeks! The Analog King Air was my first purchase and the only reason I still have MSFS 2020 installed on my computer. I have all your other aircraft, but I always come back to the King Air. Really looking forward to the Model 300 in MSFS 2024!!!

    I would love to see the ProLine 21 avionics but it feels a bit counter to the Black Square ethos… I hope I’m proven wrong!

    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.
