    @tlvid I'll take your opinion under advisement. Unfortunately, I like to keep things consistent across my fleet, and doing this for all my aircraft would be more than a full day's work. I'll look at exactly how difficult if would be (it depends on a lot of little factors in the model). Since it matters so much to you, I just wanted to reassure you that the engine monitor alarm indicator is a real option frequently connected to those units.

    @tjc CWS works the same in all of my aircraft, and it is not dependent on the "Control AP with Hardware" setting in the Duke. You can either use the L:var_PilotCws L:Var, or the native K:SYNC_FLIGHT_DIRECTOR_PITCH event.

    @Black-Square Thank you. Really enjoying the aircraft. You have done a great job. I saw this discussed but couldn't find anything recent. Appreciate your work.

    Hi, I'm with you about the workarounds, but my observations were to improve the realism of the aircraft

    @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

    Disregard, after using the developer tools I was able to fidget my way to it. In case anyone wants to know: Left tank: FUEL_SELECTOR_LEFT_MAIN set to (19) Right tank: FUEL_SELECTOR_RIGHT_MAIN set to (20) I wish things like this could be clearer or even laid out in the manual

    said in Turbo Commander Progress: Hey Nick! Looking forward to the Turbo Commanders! In the latest update you released yesterday I couldn't see it in the photos but is the bottom triple flash beacon light going to be modelled if not already? Would loveeeee to have that!

    Hi everyone, I hope you’re all doing well! Nick, first of all, I’d like to express my gratitude to you for all the dedication and effort you put into developing such incredible aircraft for MSFS. I’ve been flight simming for 18 years, and I’m a huge King Air enthusiast. Seeing your announcement about the King Air 300 has made me incredibly excited, especially because the aircraft I fly the most these days is the Turbine Duke, partly because it gives me a little taste of the King Air experience. I’m really looking forward to the King Air and was wondering if you could share any updates about it. Could you tell us a little about how development is progressing? I know you have other aircraft ahead of it in the pipeline, but even a brief update would really help ease the anticipation! Will we get another update about it this year? Perhaps some screenshots? Most importantly—and I would be extremely grateful if you could answer this—do you have even a rough estimate of when it might be released? Thank you in advance, Nick, and once again, thank you so much for all your hard work! @Black-Square @Voice-of-Reason

    @Black-Square Wait, do you mean within 2026 or within 1 year from this post? Either way, looking forward to your work, which unlike another recent release, is well worth the price...

    Hi, I have a question. Can you tell me if you're developing both the Beechcraft 1900D and Beechcraft 1900C for both MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024? Thank you so much for your help. Sincerely, Connor Richey

    Appologies to Nick as quite frankly any aircraft he makes will be a day one purchase from myself. I have a real hankering for a Swearingen Merlin and I think that would go rather well in your turboprop lineup. Although i think my want of the week will no doubt change again

    I'm all for providing choices for people, especially if they draw more people to check out Nick's excellent planes. I won't be using those big screens, but I'm sure they'll appeal to a lot of folks who don't want to fly analog. Having said that, in the forums and discords I'm in for so many flightsim devs, wow, every avionics suite under the sun is being requested of pretty much every dev. I'm glad I don't have to try to please everyone!

    @Black-Square If you don't mind me asking, what do you change to make them more visible during the day? Something in the .fx file? Would love to apply that to my light mods on .to. You can DM if you'd like. Thanks Nick!!

    @Mustang said in No saving state: an 'export/import' feature on the tablet to save/load state files locally I feel the same way, and don't trust anything stored anywhere I can't keep on my desk. Unfortunately, the MSFS architecture purposefully makes it impossible to save files locally from JavaScript. The "work" folder is exclusively for WASM instruments, I believe, but don't quote me.

    @Black-Square said in Just Massively Impressed: Thanks for letting me know! I often wonder how many of my users are out there flying my older planes, versus how much of this tends to be "fad" driven. I'm the kind of person who would pick a couple of my favorite airplanes and fly them forever, so it's harder for me to imagine how some users fly something new every couple of months or even weeks! The Analog King Air was my first purchase and the only reason I still have MSFS 2020 installed on my computer. I have all your other aircraft, but I always come back to the King Air. Really looking forward to the Model 300 in MSFS 2024!!!

    Surely some self control is all that's needed there! Perhaps what would be nice is something like the old fsx a2a aircraft where on the pop up/tablet etc you can choose to inspect the aircraft which when lists the damage/wear and tear.

    Disclaimer, not a dev, info might be gappy or misremembered: FS9, FSX, and MSFS have for ever and always had essentially no way to realistically implement proper turboprop simulation due to core sim limitations, which I'm sure you might know. In recent years BS and a few other developers have managed to squeeze somewhat realistic behaviour out of the platform despite its faults, but still it's only ever been possible to properly recreate turboprop physics by running the addon's physics outside the sim which is rare (Majestic is the only one I know to have done it). Nick is a magician, but even so there's only so much that can be done in recreating a turboprop within MSFS, at least up until now. SU6 included a lot of turbine simulation improvements in its change log, hopefully this will translate to an easier life for devs and a more faithful recreation for us consumers. It's all hope for now though, I haven't seen any devs comment on it yet and it wouldn't be very surprising to find out that the changes hasn't helped all that much, but my fingers are very much crossed! Edit: Again, with no specific knowledge, it's also possible that the SU6 improvements could be great for a ground-up project, but require a complete rework of existing products. Just speculation.

    @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.
