    My favorite part of making them is knowing that they genuinely provide joy and deep fulfillment to my users. I've been a flight simulator user since the 90's, but MSFS was the first time that I felt some of the same emotions that I experience flying in the real world, and it's always my hope that I can bring some of those feeling to you through my software. Enjoy

    @jmarkows It seems to work with windowed mode but then I get the ugly white border around my whole screen, but then I get the ugly white border at the top.

    I hope it works for you. I did all those things and still had the issue. Let us know if the issue returns. Thanks

    @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.

    Assuming the updated manual will be released before the next update, Just Flight normally takes a bit before the downloads are updated themselves.

    Thanks for your reply, and thanks for the great addons! I am on 2020 and the TBM has never remembered the fuel load between sessions. It does remember the payload, but never the fuel. I believe it works correctly on the Duke, but I am not sure at the moment. As for the prop deice, I was in fact using the default toggle event through SPAD.Next, but the switch wasn't animated. However I just noticed the B even B:DEICE_Propeller_1 and setting it to 1 or 0 seems to work: I get both the green light and the animation. The Toggle event was only giving me the light, no switch animation. I'll experiment with the _IsDown addition to LVARS. The Annunciator TEST and the gear down test have neither sound, nor animation, whereas the deice light test, ECS fault light test and the ITT test work correctly. Cheers!

    @osa I voted. I’m one of those that enjoy the variety offered, so I’m using different combinations in different variants of a plane, e.g. no gps in n/a Baron, KX155 with or without KLN-90 depending on mood and a GTN 650 in TC Baron, and GTN 750 in P Baron. Therefore the experience is different, in the different variants, and I enjoy that. The variant selection screen in 2024 is not well thought out, and gets unruly quickly. I think the SWS Kodiak has 20 different variants, depending on cabin, undercarriage, cargo pod or not (I’m probably forgetting something). ”Luckily”, it only has one set of avionics, otherwise you’d have to multiply the variants by however many different variants of avionics there were. 40-60 variants in a horizontal scrolling list, with seemingly no logical order to it? Someone suggested a drop-down menu system instead, which would definitely make things easier. But that’s all from a user perspective. I’m guessing, from a developer perspective, it’s all the same, with all these different variants needed to be produced and maintained. Hot-swapping avionics would seem to make life easier for developers, and therefore offering more variety in general, which in the end benefits users.

    Ah, thank you for uploading the video. That's exactly what I needed to see what you were talking about. That is an artifact of MSFS 2024's exposure compensation. You might be familiar with exposure compensation as the bright white skies you experience for a few seconds when looking up from a dark instrument panel. There are settings related to exposure compensation in the simulator's graphics menu, and you might be able to find more online about how to fine tune this feature. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you in the meantime.

    A BlackSquare Twin Otter would be amazing. It would fit right into the BlackSquare portfolio and is something different from the existing aircraft.

    @Black-Square On #2 I meant an accumulator failure.. It was a slip on my part. I had reported this to you a few months ago. I edited my OP to correct my mistake. On #3, when I am demonstrating procedures for OEI, sometimes I can't get the prop to fully feather and I have to dive to get the inop engine RPM well above 1500 rpm and then quickly pull to feather detent. It's never that specific to get the prop to feather in the Baron.

    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.

    @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.
