    I got update 0.1.1a - taxi lights were working, but now I can’t get the Nav lights to work in the TP . Hope there is a complete update soon. Contrail didn’t even has more than V 0.1.1

    Glad you're enjoying the aircraft so far. The very short answer is that this sounds like something to take up with the GPS developer. The longer answer is that I think I have seen similar comments in the past. I think they were reference to the PMS50 GTN, and whether the user had Navigraph data installed or not may have also made a difference, but don't quote me. As I recall saying last time, this is just not a combination that I am very familiar with from my testing, since my instinct from real world flying is always to avoid selecting RNP approaches in light aircraft, for obvious reasons.

    @TemplarOfSyrinx said in Parking Brake fails to work: I swear under some circumstances that simulated aviation is far more complicated than the real thing. A sentiment that I share with pilot friends almost weekly! I'm glad it's working for you now. Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you!

    Brilliant! I had pressed the Repair Engine many times thinking that was a "cure all" for anything wrong. After cleaning plugs and clearing cylinders the best plane in FS2024 is running at 100% for me again. Thanks so much for the help and all you do for our hobby!

    You can read a little more about these questions in the manual. The short answer is that MSFS 2020 didn't offer as reliable or user-friendly tools for managing scenery layers, but MSFS 2024 improved that situation with the Package Reorder Tool. In MSFS 2024, you should be able to either override, or not override both bespoke default airports and 3rd party sceneries with the Package Reorder Tool, right from within the simulator. The only combination that might still require you to manually remove/rename a file from the Real Taxiways installation is if a 3rd party airport has its own taxiway sign 3D models, and doesn't contain any default taxiway sign record in the airport's scenery files. I'm not sure I've seen anyone complain about this, but I know there is the possibility for it. Do my explanations make sense? I know it's a complicated subject, because there are so many ways to make scenery for the simulator, and an infinite number of combinations for how they might be layered. I'm happy to help you however I can to ensure that things are working as well as possible on your system, however! Let me know if you have any more questions.

    Wonderful all around! Thank you all so much for keeping me informed of the user experience, and being patient while we sorted that issue. Please enjoy the TBM, and always let me know if there is anything I can do for you!

    Yes, the idea is cool, I would also like a plane, and even with a g1000. But while I'm enjoying the A36TC, I've already conquered 3 continents.

    I’ve been dreaming for years for a study-level Caravan Cargo, so I can wait a couple more months. No problem, whatever he needs. If you can finally publish the manual, meanwhile, I can prepare a checklist based on this model. In any case, I appreciate the information.

    @Black-Square Perfect aircraft choice to meet the software and systems standards of an FAA-approved BATD or even an AATD. The only comment from Nick about the Pro KA comes right after a post with a picture of a proper KA Sim.. It smells promising.

    @Bishop I'd be very surprised if it weren't an analog. I mean when has Black Square ever not done steam gauges? Ok, Starship, but that doesn't count that 80s glass cockpit is rad.

    I did find the tablet option for the tail numbers, thanks. And best I can tell, it looks like some stuff does save, I'll have to test further. I'm wondering if there's a workaround using a backup state.cfg file, pasted back in after the sim starts but before choosing the aircraft. Probably won't work, but maybe worth a try.

    The problem I am having is on the PC not xBox. I did try it on the xBox tonight and it was there. Same problem as last time I rented it. Main cockpit view was the ceiling. Could not get any other cockpit views with Ctrl-1-Ctrl-0. No I don't use Shift for views. Could not get any views I created to save.
  • Thanks for the updates, Starship 1.2 and Velocity XL 1.4

    Just my 2cents on this. I know some other developers have done this like FlightFX with the HondaJet and the VisionJet. The Piper Turbo Arrow also have Navigraph and Simbreif in the tablet which was suprising. I know other do as well in smaller GA aircraft and as someone who is on Xbox this is amazing as we do not have the add ons that PC users to do allow for a pop out or things like that. The other thing to consider would be developing a stand alone pop-out for Navigraph/Simbreif for the marketplace. Similar to what PMS50 just did with the GTN750. Xbox users can now use a pop-out GTN750 like the PC users do. One of the reasons I love this so much is that it now, for the most part, allows every aircraft to have Navigraph and Simbrief intigration through the pop-out unit. Just food for thought.

    Speaking of panel retrofits - I did just find out that there is essentially a G1000 retrofit for the Commander 690B, if you did want to offer a glass cockpit option for it.

    @aeronautorbust said in No option for G430 to be the primary GPS for most Blacksquare aircraft in the avionics selection.: Is there a reason why the G430 STILL isn't an option to be used as the primary GPS? Indeed, there is! As you might have noticed, both the TDS and PMS50 GTN 650's can also operate as the primary source of navigation when no primary GPS is selected. I asked Working Title to provide the same functionality a long time ago, and I was politely told that this would be too difficult. I then proceeded to modify their code to create my own solution for this, and I can confirm that it was very dirty, difficult, and inconsistent. Just as recently as Flight Sim Expo this year (July), I spoke with a WT representative about this again, and referred to it as my most wanted feature. Perhaps the day will still come for this functionality, but in the meantime, we will both be patiently waiting.

    Almost everything works fine now in MSFS2024 except for the sound. The sound is almost inaudible, unfortunately...
  • KFC150 attitude hold mode?

    Ok, kind of have a solution for this - When in alt mode if you want to put it back into attitude mode press the VS eng button on the KAS 297B TWICE - first time engages VS mode 2nd time turns it off and leaves you in attitude mode - then you can use the up/down switch on the KFC150 to adjust your pitch attitude. Note that it seems like sometimes you also have to pull out the knob on the KAS 297B to put it into VS mode - still working on figuring out when that is/isn't required.
