    I don't think the Commander will make it into this weeks releases. The 2024 version is ready to go, but the 2020 version isn't available for testing/approval yet. I'm pretty confident about a release next week though.

    Hello, I've been enjoying the Caravan Professional quite a bit. I've got a nice SPAD.next profile set up for myself. The only then that I can't seem to get working, and it's bugging me quite a bit, is that I can't seem to get the inertial separator and the gear lever (for the amphibian version) to work. I've tried multiple configurations, including the L:XMLVAR_InterSep (0 and 1) and the L:var_WaterRudderHandle (set 0 and 100), but the levers in the cockpit don't move. Any suggestions?

    It truly is weird, it looks like it doesn't happen every time, or at least I don't always notice it, but when this happens, there usually isn't much noise since the plane is in cold and dark, so it's easy to spot.

    Hi, I am new to ms and trying to understand the Turbine Duke, but sadly the guide is missing here and there some infos like some buttons. For example on the left side, between Ignition and starter they are buttons - LT RT GEN Reset - I can't find a full explanation of what they do? Or for example "Go Around" on the throttle. Is there a page where I can find all the little infos about this plane?

    @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

    I finally found the cause. The TBM 850 integration was working correctly. The issue was caused by a PMS50 GTN750 option. In the integrated cockpit GTN750, System → Setup → Options → VCALC was enabled. This option forces the VCALC page to be displayed instead of the VNAV page. After disabling it, VNAV Profile immediately became available in the cockpit GTN as well. So this was a layer-8 configuration issue, not a problem with the Black Square TBM 850. I sincerely apologize for posting this in the TBM forum. Thank you for your patience and for reading through my overly complicated investigation. Greetings from Berlin! Kai! P.

    Hi, I have a question. Can you tell me if you're developing both the Beechcraft 1900D and Beechcraft 1900C for both MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024? Thank you so much for your help. Sincerely, Connor Richey

    Appologies to Nick as quite frankly any aircraft he makes will be a day one purchase from myself. I have a real hankering for a Swearingen Merlin and I think that would go rather well in your turboprop lineup. Although i think my want of the week will no doubt change again

    I'm all for providing choices for people, especially if they draw more people to check out Nick's excellent planes. I won't be using those big screens, but I'm sure they'll appeal to a lot of folks who don't want to fly analog. Having said that, in the forums and discords I'm in for so many flightsim devs, wow, every avionics suite under the sun is being requested of pretty much every dev. I'm glad I don't have to try to please everyone!

    @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!!!

    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
