    @fenthanyl Just checking to make sure you're all set now. I spent a while cross referencing maps and radials with your screenshots yesterday in preparation to understand the situation, but then I decided to see if anyone else saw something obvious before I launched into a full investigation.

    Your explanations are always complete and thorough. Thank you every time you provide them. I have already replicated this behavior with SPAD.neXt. Regards.

    SimBrief has performance built-in. Even takeoff performance. Which I have checked is spot on!

    Absolutely love to see this. I noticed the analog king air appeared to be a better trainer than the B200 sim I was trained on. It felt like the systems were modelled for a full cockpit sim as well.

    Sorry for the delay. I was not sure if this would really be feasible to tutorialize, but after looking at the code, I think you will be able to figure it out. Here is the process. Let me know if you have any trouble following it. This is probably one of the more complicated things I have ever offered to walk someone through, so I apologize if I'm assuming any knowledge or skills that you don't already possess. Locate the following block of text in KR87.js: case "frqTransfert": if(this.multiMode != 0) this.multiMode = 0; else SimVar.SetSimVarValue("K:ADF" + this.radioIndex + "_RADIO_SWAP", "Boolean", 0); break; Copy this block below the break;, and rename the case for what you want to call your HTML event. For example, bigInc, will correspond to the HTML event, >H:adf_bigInc. Edit the second to last line of the code block to trigger the native K:Event that you would like. For example... SimVar.SetSimVarValue("K:ADF" + this.radioIndex + "100_INC", "Boolean", 0); For the small knob, which depends on the state of the knob being pulled or not, it would be... if(SimVar.GetSimVarValue("L:var_adfKnobPulled", "bool")){ SimVar.SetSimVarValue("K:ADF" + this.radioIndex + "10_INC", "Boolean", 0); else SimVar.SetSimVarValue("K:ADF" + this.radioIndex + "1_INC", "Boolean", 0); Now, search for ADF_Knob_Frequency_MHz_1 in AnalogTBM.XML. Here, replace the two following K:Events... <CLOCKWISE_CODE>(&gt;K:ADF_100_INC)</CLOCKWISE_CODE> <ANTICLOCKWISE_CODE>(&gt;K:ADF_100_DEC)</ANTICLOCKWISE_CODE> With your own new HTML events: <CLOCKWISE_CODE>(&gt;H:adf_bigInc)</CLOCKWISE_CODE> <ANTICLOCKWISE_CODE>(&gt;H:adf_bigDec)</ANTICLOCKWISE_CODE> This is the basic principle for all the changes that you want to make. Please let me know how this goes, and what else I can help you with. Thanks for being willing to experiment with this on your own! Like I said, I will consider doing this for all my aircraft in the future when I see exactly how many interactions would have to be updated across all my aircraft, but in the meantime, I am happy to help!

    Might I point you in the direction of the fairly recently released GA-8 Airvan, by SWS, for some inspiration? On the EFB, you can choose your type of cargo, how much of it, and where to place it as well. Here I’ve chosen one generator (or whatever that machinery is), two levels of barrels, and four levels of boxes. [image: f15f7c28-6251-4988-8e57-6aa50ef4e7bb.png] And this is what it looks like. [image: 4b34eb4b-892b-456a-8f0a-da066520883e.png] For me, just having something adds to the immersion, rather than just an empty plane. Same with passengers, I know some people don’t want “zombies” staring at them, but to me it’s worse with an empty cabin, where I have to pretend that someone is actually there.

    @Black-Square The more I scroll through fs forums, the more glad I am that I went into flying planes over developing simulated ones...

    Some of the central components of this sim are actually out of the cockpit of the Baron that I flew. [image: 47f92613-787e-412b-a778-70911a36a087.jpg]

    Many thanks for the reply. Apologies, I should have included the fact I’m on Xbox. So no option to interact with all those lovely variables accessible to PC users. It varies between addons which status lights work on the Turtle Beach “SIP”. All lights work for many a/c. It’s a fantastic feature for those of us on Xbox, for instance when the landing gear is in motion the corresponding light illuminates yellow, turning green when down and locked. The Master Caution and warning lights always strike me as odd as not working in the Black Square modules. Although it’s all a black art to me - I’m sure there is a very sensible reason! I’ve played flight sims on PC for 20+ years, but am largely content on Xbox for a variety of reasons so really want to remain on the Wonder Box. It’s just a shame that some basic game features are only available via third party software. Another minor source of frustration is the lack of mappings to standard key binds in many cases. The altitude pre-selection in the Starship being a good example. Similarly in the JF146, there is no way for Xbox users to map the “arm altitude” button to a keyboard/controller button. Regards.

    I haven't tried that yet. I did a flight today that worked OK so I'm going to cross my fingers and hope it was a one-time glitch! Thanks for the reply, you make great aircraft

    Oh OK, thanks. Would be much better if you could assign unique registrations to each livery (as you say, the UI definitely gives this impression). Odd, because before you change the number to one of your choice, all the original reg numbers are different livery to livery (from memory). Cheers.

    I started up my sim to see if I could find out what went wrong and the whole thing was suddenly working as it should! Creepy. I will try to remember your gem - "can be fixed usually by just toggling the hot-swapping radio configuration." Cheers

    I appreciate you having a look. Let me see about making a video. FYI, this is in relation to MSFS, not 2024.

    @KAPA-Flyer Yeah, I have to agree with you, too. When I bought those products, I wasn't looking for the Black Square level but for the "6 pack" "analog" look.
