    I haven’t come across any videos showcasing the v1.1 update just yet, but from your description, it sounds like exactly what I’ve been hoping for with the beta sounds. I’ll definitely keep an eye out for some footage and give it a listen when I can. Out of curiosity, do you have any kind of timeline (even a rough one) for rolling these sound updates out across your other aircraft, given your schedule?

    Hi, thank you for your reply - it is really interesting how MSFS provides the data differently. I found a way to get the name easily, cause I am also using Simhaptic with a Buttkicker - and this software is more...let's say intelligent than the Moza Cockpit. This detects automatically which aircraft gets loaded (on MSFS, X-Plane or DCS) and it shows the internal name. For your aircrafts those are: bksq-aircraft-baron bksq-aircraft-baronpress bksq-aircraft-baronturbo bksq-aircraft-turbineduke And those names work as well for the Moza presets.

    @MarkS Yes, if you're the same kind of button pusher I am, you sure do https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/q36ch5pdr1v56llv3pxx8/DSKY.jpg?rlkey=xbd2748a1yyn6c598x2yyzvmx&st=oo9zqj6c&dl=0 I'm on mobile and can't seem to paste the photo of it directly, so I apologize for the Dropbox link.

    Hey All. I've recently noticed a lack of adverse yaw on the Turbine Duke in MSFS2024. When flying single engine - full thrust on good engine - I need no rudder input...the plane flys (very unexpectedly) pretty well. I'm no aerodynamics expert but that appears highly suspect. The piston Duke seems much better, requiring a healthy input of rudder when running on one engine. Anyone else notice this?

    Please do keep track of any you find. You shouldn't find many more where the L and R are swapped. I looked at this particular airport, and that happened for a specific reason that is unlikely to occur at many other airports. If you find airports where the runway is marked 24, and the taxiway sign says 25, that's probably more common, because runways do change numbers as magnetic variation changes.

    Thanks for the great offer, but it's a little too far away... I'm from Bavaria/Germany. And my wife is terrified of spiders So maybe in the next life - but who knows....

    Just sharing my experience, something I haven't encountered for a long time now, a gradual performance degradation over long flight. TLDR: reset the weather radar if sim become stuttery/crawling slow Was doing a long vatsim flight today and after around 2.5 hrs encountered stutters that won't go away. [image: cc8d0502-2e93-466d-8ca7-d0c1ae04db7b.png] After an hour or so sim came down to crawl, tried changing settings/clearing rolling etc/nothing would affect this [image: 9b599774-66de-4dff-a7b5-0c1c7dfb1306.png] Suddenly I recalled posting here ages ago about some constant FPS loss when the wx radar is turned on...so I turned the radar off, eureka!! [image: 780602a3-06e4-4fee-9bf2-54b06b5c1642.png] Now during that flight I still saw gradual performance degradation and luckily another WX reset did the trick. I do however think that the radar range also affects the performance (usually using 120NM in cruise) so I've reduced it to 40NM and that seems to be stable till the end of the flight. Just wanted to share this in case you will encounter this, not sure if this is a bug that manifests only with the TBM850 or a global sim issue with the last beta. *( and didn't reported to MSFS yet.... sorry but I've lost my faith in their bug handling and lacking communication)

    Yes the reviews of the Carenado B200 are pretty dismal, wishing this one by Black square will arrive some day soon.

    @Rich said in Updated Installers: Hi, Thanks for the kind words about the recent update to the installers. These changes will be rolled out to all future products, and over time we will add it retrospectively to existing products as they are updated. We have this week reworked the Baron and Bonanza installers to use this feature, and we will work back over the rest in time. That's great, thank you On a longer term basis, are there any plans to introduce a JF Addon Manager style application? It would be great to have an application that handles updates & installations in one place. At the moment, the legacy installers (whilst nostalgic), are a bit clunky for 2026. The current steps to receive updates are: Receive email from JF about a product update (which can be easily missed) Navigate to the website & each time login Download the installer Run the installer I expect the reason these installers have been around so long is because their robust against piracy, which is totally fair enough. However, if there is an equally secure solution that makes this process a little easier in future - that would be amazing. Thanks team!

    @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.

    @Black-Square Thanks so much for the quick response! That's super helpful, and exactly what I was hoping to get. Thanks again!

    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.

    I think A DC3 with Piston and PT6 engine options would be insane too. Imagine a Boris P&W Supercharged Wasp engine...

    @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.

    @jmarkows said in Mapping BKSQ switches not shown in MSFS2024 to Honeycomb Alpha/Bravo: Things like LVars, HVars, etc. need external programs to map them to controllers, the base sim can't do it. Mobiflight is a free tool that does that and has quite the community sourced library of variables already set up. I've never used it to speak to how easy it is to use. There is also FSUIPC, which I use, but has a rather dated UI and it's very manual. There's also SPAD.Next and Axes and Ohs, all of which are payware and come recommended by their users. Thanks - I really appreciate the response. I did some more digging today and have now downloaded SPAD.Next (14 day trial) and found some good examples online.
