    @jmarkows The last time this came up as an internal discussion with Just Flight, they contributed to a doubling of all the reasons career mode is so inconvenient for the developer, and then a subsequent email had even more reasons I was unware of. I thought my own list was bad enough already, but the reasons just seem to keep coming.

    @Avio No, with two engines operating you're going to get alot LESS left yawing force than with your critical engine (Left engine) inop. If you want to dive down this rabbit hole then here's a good free link that will explain the physics and aerodynamics of Multi Engine Theory. https://mycfibook.com/book-page/multi-engine-airplanes/

    I had no problems starting the engines, in SU5, but I always wait for the N1 to settle (usually around 16-18%), for an as cold start as possible. Doing this, my engines maxed out att ≈700 ℃. I did, however, find a co-pilot hiding under the seat. That’s new in SU5… [image: 9d36f718-f48c-41de-89d7-f10bd3759668.png]

    @Black-Square I've been using the sim pretty frequently lately and this has only shown up once for me. I find my inability to reproduce the issue quite strange.

    @kityatyi technically being blown around by the wind and having a challenge intervening is 100% accurate to float planes

    I also like how A2A made their Comanche and Aerostar apps part of the MSFS EFB. I think that is the way, use the MSFS EFB with all the apps it already contains, than trying to bring just a subset of other apps like Navigraph to a custom tablet.

    @RPGamerous thats so true blue bushflyers itinerary. And why not, you are from Alaska afterall! To tell you the truth, i am greatly inspired myself from shows like ice pilots, channels like missionary bush pilot etc alongwith multiple books that i have read on alaskan and papuan bush flying. So much so that i have even done my research on bush trips in alaska and shall be visiting Africa this year. Currently i am flying (in sim) round the globe. Started off anchorage and flying totally no gps and only dead reckoning hand fly. Currently about to cross into greenland and then onto europe and Africa. So far did in norseman and cessna 172 and now in dc3. Waiting for caravan pro. I like default caravan but just that its glass..

    @SadBucket agreed on those points. Hopefully they do someday. I really like the default caravan though many people complain of it, but what i disliked in it was the face glow of the screens. Gauges with their night glow is always more soothing amd more challenging. So i am looking forward to black squares. Not to forget, the added systems depth and simulations ofcourse

    @Black-Square i agree that youll need to pull out the entire root if you think of yanking the bush. And in its current state the sim wont/ cant like that. But maybe implement the gear damage to the extent of default planes? They penalise the poor landings and choice of offairport ops and thus makes the pilots involve themeselves more and thus higher inmersion. Rest of course is your call

    @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.

    Agreed, same reason I only ever use the G530 and G430 combo.
