    @IanMcLav Hi, did you find out why the trim wheel moves slightly forward and backward when the AP is engaged? I have the same issue in MSFS2024 version of the caravan.

    Would be really cool to start seeing the new GPS (garmin alternatives) coming into the BKSQ fleet

    Guys, have you tried after SU5? I've tried in the Baron, and it seems like it has not saved the state (the Hobbs meter was rolled back like the flight didn't happen). Either I'm missing something or we will have to get used to restarting our flights for good

    @Black-Square It would indeed be a huge amount of work, but it doesn't interfere with the simulation in any way. For me, the Starship is the best aircraft in the simulator that I've ever been able to purchase and study. I hope you'll continue to support it by implementing improvements and fixing bugs over time. Thank you!

    @Black-Square Sorry about that one - for some reason I thought real taxiways changed the pavement markers too. Here's another one today: CYHZ Runway 32/14 - all of the signs say 23-05. Runway 23-05 is correctly marked. Let me know if you want me to continue to tag you on these - or just post and let you get to them when you can.

    I am now flying the B36T. I still shake my head about needing to manually twist the needle after every waypoint on the GPS flight plan, if I'm using TDS GTN750Xi. I just want to check in as it's been a year since the above dialog - is there still no way for the aircraft's HSI to automatically follow the GPS flight plan? Just can't get over someone who would invest in a turbo-prop and the surrouding technology, and not have the equipment to reduce pilot workload, keeping the eyes outside of the aircraft as much as possible. Just wanted to ensure I wasn't missing anything. TDS benefits: includes the IF in the transition list for RNAV's with no feeders (ex: KSMO RNAV 21, PMSS does not show DARTS, TDS (correctly) does. PMSS benefits: allows me to DTK sync to simulate having the equipment that can follow the GPS flight plan.

    @Subsonic said in A list of Squawks as a 10+ year TBM Maintainer: The engine is slow to spool on the starter. I looked into this today, and unfortunately found that there appears to be a bug in the simulator, as the parameter that's supposed to adjust this has no effect. Apparently, this was a known issue for turbojet aircraft years ago, but it was not fixed for turboprop aircraft. I'll see if I can convince Asobo to make the fix for turboprops too.

    @Buzz I haven't looked into all of the details yet, but I believe all three of the points you mention are unrelated to the new propeller governor and fuel-topping governor behavior. The first should just be a constant in the engine.cfg, which I believe was only set incorrectly by accident in one of my aircraft (Baron Professional?) I'll check my changelogs, but it should be fixed now. I'm not sure exactly what the real world behavior is that you're describing here, but the only type of governor failure that I model in my aircraft is failure to achieve maximum RPM. Assuming you're talking about when shutting down an engine, this could be fixed, and I've looked into it. My propeller simulation is where I fight with the underlying simulation harder than anywhere else, so progress is hard won. I might have an elegant solution to this that I will try before my round of summer updates, but I haven't made any promises in case it gets ugly.

    If I understand what you're looking to do, this would be determined solely by the font you include in your package. You should be able to accomplish almost any effect you're looking for, so long as you're willing to edit the font.

    Indeed, it is correct! You can see the early renders here, but an update is long overdue. The aircraft is essential done now, with the exception of sound. I recorded sound from a turbonormalized 114 this past September, and Boris will begin work very soon. The 114 will be my next aircraft released, which I'm expecting to be this June or July. I've had a lot of fun developing some new immersion features and unique avionics for it, so I'm glad you're looking forward to it! Yes, it will include the aftermarket turbonormalizing package, three-blade scimitar propeller, and optional electric air conditioner too.

    I totally support this idea. I've been wishing for a realistic Twin Otter for ages. The Aerosoft version for MSFS2020 was aesthetically awesome. But the systems, flight dynamics, and turboprop simulation left a good bunch to be desired. The default one isn't even worth our time mentioning. I am very impresed with the Blacksquare Caravan and I know they would make an amazing Twin Otter.

    @Buzz thanks for posting that, the Command 114, 685 and 690B look interesting, especially the 690B. Hoping the King Air is next to release.

    @SchnauzerMan Hello, I am here, always working on my airplanes I don't really know. Just not enough posts to warrant it, I guess. Just Flight manages the forums. I just develop the aircraft. Have you updated your TDS installation lately? Those all sound like issues inherent to the Working Title G3X and TDS GTNxi interconnectivity, not the aircraft specifically. I haven't heard any other reports like this, despite the aircraft being update about a year ago with these new features, and being tested by the TDS developer himself, so hopefully it's just an outdated installation. It would also be helpful to know if you're using MSFS 2020 or 2024, in case we need to provide more information for him to investigate.

    @Rich Hi Rich! I think I have noticed a bug with new installers you're using for the Caravan Pro. On initial install, you can select a custom directory, which I did for v1.0. However, after downloading the updated v1.1 installer from the website just now, here is what happened. Normally, the installers can handle updates themselves without having to uninstall the old version. However, this time, even though it said in the installers UI that is was updating from v1 to v1.1 - it did not respect my original custom directory. It deleted the old v1.0 files, and then installed the new v1.1 into the MSFS 2024 community folder like the legacy installers would. Could it be rectified so that when updating an existing addon with InstallShield, it respects your custom install directory of the existing installed addon? Thank you

    @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.
