    Update - it occurred to me that since I had set up custom cameras and other controls for the Cargomaster (where pop-outs don't work) but not for the Amphibian (where pop-outs do work), I might have created some kind of conflict. So I disconnected my HQ Bravo, Brunner and Xbox controller before starting the sim, but still no pop-outs unfortunately.

    Pleased to share how I have adapted various tools to allign to the B36T. With the help of MS CoPilot and ChatGPT, I have a (simulation-only) Foreflight .fmd checklist file for the B36T. I also created a performance profile in Foreflight for the B36T so that Flights show fuel consumption and weights. I have been able to adapt a number of Air Manager instruments for the B36T. For the ETM, I have the controls mapped to buttons/dials on a StreamDeck+, w/ SPAD.neXt. I ultimately ended up using TDS GTN 750xi/650xi, because it aligns to the PilotWorkshop Garmin GTN: Next Level training, meaning it uses the Garmin Trainer which is certified to match the real Garmin devices, and therefore has all of the functionality demonstrated in the course. Yep, I have to manually twist the mechanical HSI CRS needle with every leg on course, but that's the case for most small GA's with mechanical HSI's with no course pointer servo. The other GTN product provides a cheat (DTK auto sync) which I used for a while. Evidently only 8 or 9 of these turboprop kits were delivered. I have found this aircraft to be a very nice "fit" in terms of quality/detail, enjoyment, speed, climb performance, and suitability for SoCal flying which is my playground on a daily basis. All made possible by Black Square and the ecosystem of enabling technologies.

    @djw4250 I'm glad it worked. I've probably spent hours in these sections of the BS manuals. I still feel lost half the time lol

    I suppose the quality might be objectively better, but I actually prefer the Duke soundset overall - much 'growlier'. Just goes to show this kind of stuff is in the ears of the beholder..

    @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.

    @Black-Square said in KingAir 350 - brightness of the AP panel: If so, then have you tried adjusting the "ANN BRT" knob on the radio panel (right of the altitude selector)? I didn't know about that "ANN BRT" knob! Everything's fine work now.

    The issue persisted across all turboprop aircraft that have a condition lever. Re-installing Flight Simulator 2024 resolved the issue. I can only assume it was a faulty package upon installing SU5.

    my 2 cents. i have no need for hot swap. i am fine installing the variant i want, so GTN or GNS. and cant you reduce your variants offered. do you really need single dual GTN, 750, 650, GNS GTNXI each and every combination. i understood that Avidyne is a one to one replacement for the GNS530, so no changes in the 3d model needed. would love to see the Avidyne in the Duke for example or TBM850.

    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.

    Indeed, it is correct! You can see the early renders here, but an update is long overdue. The aircraft is essential done now, with the exception of sound. I recorded sound from a turbonormalized 114 this past September, and Boris will begin work very soon. The 114 will be my next aircraft released, which I'm expecting to be this June or July. I've had a lot of fun developing some new immersion features and unique avionics for it, so I'm glad you're looking forward to it! Yes, it will include the aftermarket turbonormalizing package, three-blade scimitar propeller, and optional electric air conditioner too.

    @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.
