    Hah, just found this thread googling for "L:var_GeneratorSwitch" because I'm having the same problem with a stream deck profile using Pilotsdeck. Everything works fine except the in-game switch animation. It's nice to know I'm not alone! My suspicion is the L:var_GeneratorSwitch only affects the generator switch inside the brain of the machine, and not the switch itself: [image: 16e5e7c8-bc0f-430c-9e13-f22c925dbfdc.png] That switch there animates perfectly when I set L:var_GeneratorSwitch between 1, 0 and 2. Which means the reset and trip (and On) modes all work as they should. Just that this guy never budges: [image: 3f4a3650-11c7-4a3e-9672-0ebec0fe1926.png] That said, the Behaviours tool shows references to L:var_GeneratorSwitch, so I'm just very confused and I'm hoping it's an animation bug rather than me doing something derpy. @Black-Square, any idea what we're missing when it comes to the generator switch animation? There are these standard vars: [image: e17b1fc3-c181-4090-9859-7ae5f1c3e494.png] But they don't seem to ever move from 0, so I guess are unused here.. By the by, I saw another interesting thing I saw while testing things: (A:ELECTRICAL GENALT BUS AMPS:1, Amperes) returns 14.2 Amps with gernerator OFF after resetting the generator. Both the multimeter in game and the "GEN" section of the Elec map on the EFB shows 0A as you'd expect (as the generator was completely off, the only power was battery power), but that Avar is active and happy.

    I noticed this was never answered. It is all the same by model so it applies to every livery. I do hope that maybe in the future that will change to per livery that is one thing I love about another one that I wish Black Square had.

    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.

    @Tadeus72 said in Your favorite medium-long range cruise altitude: Thank you, often when crossing the States I actually look for a scenic route, this might be a great inspiration, will check it out. If you fly it, please let me know how you like it. I think there's one small "error" in it near the Grand Canyon, one airfield you can get into but the runway might be too short to get out of again. Of course, if you're not flying it for the VA you can skip it no problem. I've yet to fly it myself.

    Sorry to ask again, I don´t want to bother you, but it´s been 3 weeks since the release of the dukes (piston and turbine) as single aircraft on MS 2024 Marketplace. So I wonder when the bundle is coming? Since the aircraft are available now as single versions, I don´t get why the bundle takes so much time. Maybe another challenge with the store? Greets Data

    Yep - it's real taxiways. First pic is real taxiways on and 2nd pic is with it off. I've noticed this at a few other airports too - just kept forgetting to report it. Hopefully it's a code fix and not just one off fixes. It's always the sign that's wrong. [image: 93b6eb0d-5023-4f78-b50b-54601c0868ec.jpg] [image: a004a75d-9ee3-47e0-a88c-8dd65ea043c5.jpg]

    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)

    If you are an experienced Black Square pilot I would not recommend getting the Carenado B200 - I'm not impressed. Only one radio for example .

    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.

    @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.

    Hey Nick @Black-Square. Question from the Dev... can you ask the dev at JustFlight to post a specific example of the EXACT URL that is used to trigger a failure? The docs list all the failure variables, but never seem to mention the specific elements of the URL, or the port, etc I was under the impression it was straight HTTP calls directly to a custom listener....he's literally listing URL paramters in the docs. [1:00 PM]Saturday, March 14, 2026 1:00 PM if you can post a message asking him to verify what I listed above, and whether this can be triggered by a vanilla HTTP request, outside of SimConnect, that would give me everything I need.

    @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.

    Mapping BKSQ switches not shown in MSFS2024 to Honeycomb Alpha/Bravo

    @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.
