    I’d like to open a discussion regarding load factor (or G-limits) behavior in the Bonanza Professional. While flying at maximum speed, with the airspeed indicator well into the yellow arc, I noticed that applying high G loads does not result in any structural failure or crash. From a real-world perspective, this seems inconsistent, as exceeding the structural load limits at high airspeeds should normally lead to airframe damage or failure. I was wondering whether this behavior is intentional — for example, a design choice, a limitation of the simulator, or a setting related to realism or damage modeling — or if it is something that might be refined further. I’m not reporting this as a complaint, just trying to better understand how load factors and structural limits are currently modeled in the Bonanza Professional. Thanks in advance for any clarification. Best Regards.

    Clear, thank you for explanation. Next time I will try a less windy ramp to verify.

    @SadBucket I think the option (and I'm a great believer in options!) to simply remove by tablet is great for those that maybe think they have a ground crew for doing those things. That actually brings up something I don't know: do biz jet pilots remove the covers and things? How deep a preflight do they do? I had a buddy who flew in east Africa for the Red Cross for years and he told me about the flying but never once mentioned doing a preflight. I drove school bus for 30 years and my stories never mention the 10 minutes doing the pretrip inspection that we all had to do every morning. @Black-Square I guess I'm missing something when setting the park brake - I'll try that ASAP. edit: Got it!! A small possible wrinkle would be having to be within a certain radius of a removable element; it would lend more credence to walking around doing the preflight. Why be able to reach 20' to remove a cover? Okay, we can't jump up on the wing (can we?!) to remove the intake covers so there has to be a compromise. Have a great day. Bob

    @Black-Square said in Duke not showing up in Marketplace on 2024?: @Data I'll check in on this. The last time all these marketplace packages were in my hands was September of last year, so I've been just as confused by these delays as you have... Thanks, that would be wonderful.

    I believe C208 is next on agenda along with the commander 114 and aero commander 685... I do know Nick plans to bring over all the steam gauge overhaul aircraft so the king air will come eventually. Hopefully it's not too far out. You can port the analog king air into msfs2024, I believe you have to disable the king air in msfs2024, copy the asobo msfs2020 king air and black square king air folders into msfs2024 community folder and it should load up and work with only minor lighting issues (that is the light's are abnormally bright).

    I would absolutely love a helping hand from you on exploring code editing if you are willing to help further on this. Let me know if that process is better handled outside of this thread

    Some of the central components of this sim are actually out of the cockpit of the Baron that I flew. [image: 47f92613-787e-412b-a778-70911a36a087.jpg]

    Many thanks for the reply. Apologies, I should have included the fact I’m on Xbox. So no option to interact with all those lovely variables accessible to PC users. It varies between addons which status lights work on the Turtle Beach “SIP”. All lights work for many a/c. It’s a fantastic feature for those of us on Xbox, for instance when the landing gear is in motion the corresponding light illuminates yellow, turning green when down and locked. The Master Caution and warning lights always strike me as odd as not working in the Black Square modules. Although it’s all a black art to me - I’m sure there is a very sensible reason! I’ve played flight sims on PC for 20+ years, but am largely content on Xbox for a variety of reasons so really want to remain on the Wonder Box. It’s just a shame that some basic game features are only available via third party software. Another minor source of frustration is the lack of mappings to standard key binds in many cases. The altitude pre-selection in the Starship being a good example. Similarly in the JF146, there is no way for Xbox users to map the “arm altitude” button to a keyboard/controller button. Regards.

    I haven't tried that yet. I did a flight today that worked OK so I'm going to cross my fingers and hope it was a one-time glitch! Thanks for the reply, you make great aircraft

    Oh OK, thanks. Would be much better if you could assign unique registrations to each livery (as you say, the UI definitely gives this impression). Odd, because before you change the number to one of your choice, all the original reg numbers are different livery to livery (from memory). Cheers.

    I started up my sim to see if I could find out what went wrong and the whole thing was suddenly working as it should! Creepy. I will try to remember your gem - "can be fixed usually by just toggling the hot-swapping radio configuration." Cheers

    I appreciate you having a look. Let me see about making a video. FYI, this is in relation to MSFS, not 2024.

    @KAPA-Flyer Yeah, I have to agree with you, too. When I bought those products, I wasn't looking for the Black Square level but for the "6 pack" "analog" look.

    @DocZ That's exactly what I've done with all my Black Square planes, no issues here.
