    @Galf Do you have v1.1 of the Caravan? There was an issue in v1.0 that prevented those items from saving, but only for the Cargomaster.

    If you actually have the Bonanza Professional (the newest version), there is a dedicated MSFS 2024 installer similar to how the TBM850 has one (and you should use it rather than copying the 2020 version over). If you actually have the Bonanza Overhaul, then no it doesn't work in 2024 without a lot of massaging and maybe not even then.

    Hi, thank you for your reply - it is really interesting how MSFS provides the data differently. I found a way to get the name easily, cause I am also using Simhaptic with a Buttkicker - and this software is more...let's say intelligent than the Moza Cockpit. This detects automatically which aircraft gets loaded (on MSFS, X-Plane or DCS) and it shows the internal name. For your aircrafts those are: bksq-aircraft-baron bksq-aircraft-baronpress bksq-aircraft-baronturbo bksq-aircraft-turbineduke And those names work as well for the Moza presets.

    @FlightEngineer1 yes, I'm aware of ai.cfg. I have used this to enable and tune (to an extent) autopilots in planes that don't have them natively, with mixed success but usually well enough to pass muster. This often also entails adding an autopilot electrical circuit to systems.cfg, and checking engines.cfg (why there?) to make sure that the param DisableAutopilotControls=0; sometimes a dev will explicitly set it to 1 and then no autopilot. Maybe I'm just old and slightly bitter at this point, but I have no faith that Asobo will ever address this, are aware of it, or even know what they're doing in this regard. There are core algorithm parameters that were REQUIRED when I was doing industrial process control PIDs, which are utterly absent here. Which brings into question the form of the equation they are using. They're never going to expose the maths, and I have better things to do.

    @Mustang I just checked the model and the configurations, and the correct thrust centerline distance should be 6.8ft, whereas it's currently 6.0ft. It's not a holdover from the piston engines, which have the same centerlines, so I'm not sure where that came from. I've fixed it for the next version, but I suspect the change in performance will be pretty minimal. You're welcome to test it yourself. Look for the Engine.0, and Engine.1 lines near the top of the engines.cfg, and replace them with the following lines: Engine.0 = 6.9, -6.8, 0.7 Engine.1 = 6.9, 6.8, 0.7

    @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.

    Thanks for the great offer, but it's a little too far away... I'm from Bavaria/Germany. And my wife is terrified of spiders So maybe in the next life - but who knows....

    Is there any way the taxi light can be brighter? Can hardly see the taxi lines and require the landing lights to see the yellow lines. This via MSFS 2020.

    We should hear soon about more upcoming projects. @Voice-of-Reason said there is a big update article they're about to publish, once Nick puts some finishing touches on it.

    @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

    @Black-Square Hi Nick, hopefully things with the Caravan have settled down enough for you to give your thoughts on some of this.

    @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.

    Another vote for the Beechcraft 1900D here. I've missed this plane since my P3D times 6 years ago.

    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.

    @Black-Square Thanks so much for the quick response! That's super helpful, and exactly what I was hoping to get. Thanks again!

    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.

    I think A DC3 with Piston and PT6 engine options would be insane too. Imagine a Boris P&W Supercharged Wasp engine...

    @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.

    As long as it's an option - and not forced upon the user -, it's fine. I personally don't want anything turning red, blue, etc.

    @SadBucket you don’t necessarily need to rummage between different pages. Sky4Sim has already implemented a plugin that integrates its tablet into the MSFS tablet - for instance. If you want to use only Sky4Sim’s features, you can: just select the Sky4Sim icon and the S4S interface will appear and can navigate only the features provided by S4S — the only difference is that it shows up inside the MSFS tablet. It definitely improves immersion, especially in aircraft that already have the “3D MSFS tablet” available.
