Black Square Add-Ons

Do you have plans for any visual updates to the Velocity XL in the future (textures, 3D model)?

@Black-Square said in Velocity XL: cannot change G3X CDI source to GPS when starting cold and dark:

Glad to hear it was an easy solution. I thought that might be the case, but I try not to assume the simplest solution, lest I insult the intelligence of my users when I'm the one not thinking very hard!

I work in support. You can never rule out the simplest solution, at any level of intelligence. :)

@Black-Square Any chance we will be able to use the Velocity in carrier mode? I think Jorg said something about only aircraft that are available through Marketplace being usable for career mode and/or some other special criteria, I'm not sure if that would require a dedicated version or if it rules out the Velocity altogether.

@flyer232 There's no need to hijack threads. Creating a new one of your own will be better seen and acknowledged.

2024 still seems like a bit of a cluster. I hope we'll see this plane release on both platforms. I haven't even bought 2024 due to the streaming issues and overall data usage. It sounds like it's eating a lot more internet data, which is not ideal for someone like myself, who can do about 18-25 flights a month. I already use half my data cap, plus the streaming content seems to be rather buggy at the moment. I suspect it'll be summer next year before 2024 is at the level we're use to in 2020. I mean even the performance is not good for some users, for whatever reason. FSLTL said they can't even inject traffic, and I'm not seeing anything to suggest the default traffic is accurate.

The only positives I've seen mentioned by the more hardcore sim user crowd, is better textures and colors. Improved flight model over 2020, and improved clouds. Overall, 2024 does not seem like a grand change from 2020, aside from the career/avatar and yucky GUI.

Sure thing. If you search for...

SimVar.SetSimVarValue("L:var_RNAV_WAYPOINT_NUMBER", "number", this.displayChannel);

and add this, immediately below...

SimVar.SetSimVarValue("L:var_RNAV_ACTIVE_WAYPOINT", "number", this.useChannel);

That should do the trick too! Always happy to help.

Would love a Black Square Jetstream 31/41.

The Starship is in development at the moment:

@pleiades4519 said in Black Square in MSFS 24:

I'm curious too. Hopefully the Dukes are compatible as Microsoft said they should be.

Every developer I follow that has said anything about 2020 compatibility in 2024 has said it's not nearly as simple and easy as advertised. Martyn from JF said in the RJ topic on the MSFS forums that Asobo is taking feedback from developers on common issues, so hopefully it will become easier pre/post 24 release, but everything is still apparently very fluid.

I'm sure Nick has seen this by now, but he's heads-down with more than just the Starship apparently, so I'm sure we'll hear either here or elsewhere when he has something he wants to say about it.

Great !!! Love their products. Have a number of them. :-))

BTW This is a Big Update, not only significant bug fixes but also a number of added functionality.

Hi,
Sorry I miss understood you. I have downloaded the latest version of pms50-instrument-gtn750 and that seems to have done the trick.

However not sure if this is a false positive but the zip file according to my mcafee contained a trojan virus in the Integration.pdf file:-

Maybe it will come with the next update to the Caravan?

I wish this would come out, lol. I think I've flown the Duke more than anything else since it's release, so this is going to be a top spot in my hangar for sure.

Found all the takeoff and landing distances in the original manual and added to the collection. Very useful pages, only 6 in total.

Back in the days, PMDG had an excellent A5 printed manual set for their MD-11, the one I used the most was the smaller 'Quick Reference Handbook'. Excellent companion when flying and learning the aircraft. If there was some small quick reference handbooks for the BlackSquare fleet, I would happily order them.
