    @Black-Square I wish I had some real insight for you, but I don't. I own all of your planes except the Velocity. From the Dukes onward, I've used Axis and Ohs for control bindings, and it's always been a crap shoot. I always start with default MSFS events and vars to keep it as simple as possible. But every plane inevitably has some that don't work the way they should (or at least the way I expect), and that's the point where I dig into the assignments listed in the manual. For any of those that don't work, I use the dev menu behaviors tool, and the Axis and Ohs "watch simulator events" dialog. But they both have their own failings: the behaviors tool doesn't always list bindings, so I have to inspect the code displayed and try to glean what I can do from that. And the simulator events dialog sometimes displays native events that are being triggered by code -- and often I can't bind those events directly and the dialog doesn't indicate what to use. There are a couple other tricks I use in Axis and Ohs, and I'm always learning. For example, just a couple days ago, I discovered I can use to program virtual button presses on an axis I create (for the Just Flight F28, where the fuel levers are seemingly not on an axis). Needless to say, due to the trial-and-error nature of this process, it sometimes takes a couple hours for me to bind a single plane, but it'd be awesome if I could just import an already existing control profile and have most of the assignments work out of the box. Usually I start by binding just enough to get into the air, fly until I want to switch to autopilot, and then do the rest while the plane hums along happily on its own lol

    @Sunshine_db Yay! Glad I could help, and glad you were able to figure out the last bit on your own too! Indeed, I can't imagine doing those myself without the help of the debugger. Good luck, and you know where to find me if you need anything else

    Perfect thank you. No worries about it, if we all take one extra step we can walk miles from where we are now. I will reach out to them tomorrow. Pete

    Not entirely sure what the issue is to be honest, but the AMS-850 has a lot of features and modes that could possibly be causing confusion. If you have discord, feel free to join this server and I'd be happy to share my screen and walk you through a few flights in the starship if you're interested. Starship Community Server

    I suspect the engines might be damaged, possibly due to a hot start - I had similar symptoms after trying the CTRL E MSFS auto-start command when I was in a hurry testing a few things quite a while back. You can check and repair the engines via the menu system.

    @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

    @Guilepilote issue is you need the data from the GTN /GNS. With the PMS and WT I could see that but with the TDS? I don’t know.

    @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.

    @Black-Square said in New and improved state saving: @Bishop I've been up all night monitoring the 114 release, so I've been slowly working on the code rewrites required to bring this to all my other aircraft. Glad tp hear you're looking forward to it, because this one is a lot of work. Wow, I recall you mentioning somewhere on the forum long ago just what a time consuming project that would be.... Many thanks and appreciation! Wild to get that kind of enhancement for free.

    Glass out does a pretty good job of finding most screens and instruments (not all). Most of these are from glassout - they look exactly like the starship cockpit above. [image: 3c0b01b5-61dc-413a-9454-08c6e6eafa5a.jpeg]

    @Butsey19 I used to fly an E model years ago (many years ago lol). I would absolutely love a C model too. I know I'm asking too much but it would be amazing if he did a release that included an early period model, mid period model, and late period model. So like a C then a K or TLS then the acclaim. I would drop some serious cash on that lol!
