    I could swear I replied to this already... Sorry for the delay. I haven't received any reports of symptoms that sound like yours, so I'm inclined to believe that it's a local problem. Have you tried this with no peripherals plugged in to your computer? Hardware binding issues would seem to be an obvious possible cause. I feel confident that we can find what's causing this issue for you. If you're able, sharing a video with me might uncover something. I often see details in videos that give me something to go on, even if it seems unrelated. Also, Just Flight Support might be familiar with these symptoms, since they troubleshoot a lot more aircraft, and a lot more general simulator issues than I do, just focusing on my own aircraft. Either way, I will be here to help the best I can!

    Excellent - I was nervous to adjust it too far. I tried .7 at first and that wasn't quite enough, .5 seemed to do it but I think .25 would be even better.

    @Black-Square Hi Nick! It's really great when developers listen to their customers. It shows how committed they are to improving their systems and making the simulation even more immersive. I'm an Xbox Series X user, and as you know, things are very limited here. The option to import the flight plan directly from Simbrief is very welcome, although I still prefer manually entering everything into the CDU. What I would really like — and I know this isn't the topic of discussion — is to be able to view Navgraph charts on the tablet and to track the aircraft on their map (Simlink feature). I have no idea how complex or easy that would be to implement, but it would certainly be very useful. I miss having that feature to see airport ground positions, follow taxi routes, and so on. It would be exactly what Just Flight already does on their tablet. I hope that one day this comes to the Starship and the other BS aircraft that use the same tablet. Alan / From Brazil

    Hi, I'm WafflingSnow on the MSFS forums. I had this happen twice. I flew from KMDT to KACK, and there was a CTD on landing. I used BeyondATC on that one. The next day I flew from KACK, did a tour of NYC up the Hudson, and returned to KACK for a CTD on touchdown. Yesterday, I deleted the cache file and updated my Nvidia drivers. I took off from KACK, remained in pattern, landed no problem. Then, I took a flight from KACK to KORF with BeyondATC and landed no problem. So, deleting the cache and updating drivers worked for me, at least so far.

    @Black-Square Sorry about that one - for some reason I thought real taxiways changed the pavement markers too. Here's another one today: CYHZ Runway 32/14 - all of the signs say 23-05. Runway 23-05 is correctly marked. Let me know if you want me to continue to tag you on these - or just post and let you get to them when you can.

    Assuming the updated manual will be released before the next update, Just Flight normally takes a bit before the downloads are updated themselves.

    Glad to see you're enjoying the TBM so thoroughly! This is exactly the kind of investment into one of my aircraft that they were built for. To answer your questions quickly in bullet from: The inspection time will reset at the proper intervals. The "key %used" refers to the USB stick in the unit that records all the data. It will also reset before hitting 100%. It's fun for me that you've flown enough to notice these details! The TBM should already remember fuel load between flights, as all my aircraft have the code to do so, but state saving has been intermittent for some users since MSFS 2020, and sometimes bugged completely in MSFS 2024. You can absolutely use the default payload interface instead of the tablet! That's actually in the FAQ in my manuals. I haven't checked in a while, but my canard aircraft might flip over backwards if you set passenger payload with the default payload interface, due to a lack of foresight on the part of someone at Asobo. We've asked them to fix this, but I don't think it's happened yet. Looking at the code, I'm not sure what L:Var you're using for the propeller heat, because I didn't create one. It should be as simple as using the native event: >K:TOGGLE_PROPELLER_DEICE. Are you sure the button animates with the L:Var? If it does, then the sound should play, since it's tied to the animation. If the button does not animate, then you might try adding _IsDown to the end of the L:Vars, which works for some momentary switches and buttons.

    @Black-Square Any chance it will have an optional configuration with the IO580 320hp STC?

    my 2 cents. i have no need for hot swap. i am fine installing the variant i want, so GTN or GNS. and cant you reduce your variants offered. do you really need single dual GTN, 750, 650, GNS GTNXI each and every combination. i understood that Avidyne is a one to one replacement for the GNS530, so no changes in the 3d model needed. would love to see the Avidyne in the Duke for example or TBM850.

    Ah, thank you for uploading the video. That's exactly what I needed to see what you were talking about. That is an artifact of MSFS 2024's exposure compensation. You might be familiar with exposure compensation as the bright white skies you experience for a few seconds when looking up from a dark instrument panel. There are settings related to exposure compensation in the simulator's graphics menu, and you might be able to find more online about how to fine tune this feature. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you in the meantime.

    A BlackSquare Twin Otter would be amazing. It would fit right into the BlackSquare portfolio and is something different from the existing aircraft.

    @Black-Square On #2 I meant an accumulator failure.. It was a slip on my part. I had reported this to you a few months ago. I edited my OP to correct my mistake. On #3, when I am demonstrating procedures for OEI, sometimes I can't get the prop to fully feather and I have to dive to get the inop engine RPM well above 1500 rpm and then quickly pull to feather detent. It's never that specific to get the prop to feather in the Baron.

    If I understand what you're looking to do, this would be determined solely by the font you include in your package. You should be able to accomplish almost any effect you're looking for, so long as you're willing to edit the font.

    @Buzz thanks for posting that, the Command 114, 685 and 690B look interesting, especially the 690B. Hoping the King Air is next to release.

    @SchnauzerMan Hello, I am here, always working on my airplanes I don't really know. Just not enough posts to warrant it, I guess. Just Flight manages the forums. I just develop the aircraft. Have you updated your TDS installation lately? Those all sound like issues inherent to the Working Title G3X and TDS GTNxi interconnectivity, not the aircraft specifically. I haven't heard any other reports like this, despite the aircraft being update about a year ago with these new features, and being tested by the TDS developer himself, so hopefully it's just an outdated installation. It would also be helpful to know if you're using MSFS 2020 or 2024, in case we need to provide more information for him to investigate.

    @Rich Hi Rich! I think I have noticed a bug with new installers you're using for the Caravan Pro. On initial install, you can select a custom directory, which I did for v1.0. However, after downloading the updated v1.1 installer from the website just now, here is what happened. Normally, the installers can handle updates themselves without having to uninstall the old version. However, this time, even though it said in the installers UI that is was updating from v1 to v1.1 - it did not respect my original custom directory. It deleted the old v1.0 files, and then installed the new v1.1 into the MSFS 2024 community folder like the legacy installers would. Could it be rectified so that when updating an existing addon with InstallShield, it respects your custom install directory of the existing installed addon? Thank you

    @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.
