    Thanks for sharing this. Exactly what I was looking for. It is so much easier to read the panel labels with the dark background.

    That's wonderful! I always enjoy seeing my users take things into their own hands to get exactly what they're looking for from my aircraft. Yes, please share the file, and I will take a look. I can't image why we shouldn't be able to include this in the base file, assuming you're willing to contribute. If you use something like pastebin, you can set an expiratory date of even just one day, and I should be able to get to this tomorrow. Thank you! I also appreciate the documentation you wrote here so I can see all your changes when I go through the file

    Re: the original post (VOR tracking goes from NAV to ROL spontaneously), I created a bug in the FS2024 Official forum. Feel free to add to that discussion. One important piece of info is that it seems only to happen when one is using an external control mapper like Spad.Next or FSUIPC. https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/bug-multiple-planes-change-from-nav-to-rol-hdg-mode-when-tracking-vor/762974

    Sorry for the delay. Just getting back from an audio recording trip for the Twin Commanders and the King Air. 1-3 are generally in the realm of "my aircraft don't support Ctrl-E", and "MSFS 2024's flight starting/restarting system are very confused." I will look into the loss of synchronization with reloads to see if there is an easy solution, but when I have looked into similar things in the past, they were beyond my control to fix. This has been reported, and I've already fixed it for the next update. Thanks. I will test this next time I have the simulator open, but the code is identical to my other aircraft where this feature has been working for years. You're referring to the copilot's side localizer for use with the KNS-81? You can control the OBS simply by modifying L:var_RNAV_OBS, number. Let me know if you have any trouble with that. I use the simulation variable A:SURFACE TYPE, ENUM, which is the only way to read surface type to the best of my knowledge. I know next to nothing about scenery design, but I believe that the designer should have the opportunity to select an appropriate surface type tag while creating any custom materials. The audio panel switches are not state saved in any of my aircraft. Sorry for the disappointment. Let me know if you have any more questions, or if there is anything else I can do for you!

    @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.

    I am now flying the B36T. I still shake my head about needing to manually twist the needle after every waypoint on the GPS flight plan, if I'm using TDS GTN750Xi. I just want to check in as it's been a year since the above dialog - is there still no way for the aircraft's HSI to automatically follow the GPS flight plan? Just can't get over someone who would invest in a turbo-prop and the surrouding technology, and not have the equipment to reduce pilot workload, keeping the eyes outside of the aircraft as much as possible. Just wanted to ensure I wasn't missing anything. TDS benefits: includes the IF in the transition list for RNAV's with no feeders (ex: KSMO RNAV 21, PMSS does not show DARTS, TDS (correctly) does. PMSS benefits: allows me to DTK sync to simulate having the equipment that can follow the GPS flight plan.

    looking forward to this possibility. Would be the icing on the cake so to speak.

    I totally support this idea. I've been wishing for a realistic Twin Otter for ages. The Aerosoft version for MSFS2020 was aesthetically awesome. But the systems, flight dynamics, and turboprop simulation left a good bunch to be desired. The default one isn't even worth our time mentioning. I am very impresed with the Blacksquare Caravan and I know they would make an amazing Twin Otter.

    @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

    @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.

    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.

    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.

    @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.
