    Hi Nick, Have you considered leveraging the 2024 shader-based fan animation effect that iniBuilds has been using? See here It seems to significantly reduce the visible step transitions during engine start, and I’m curious whether that approach could translate effectively to prop animations. Appreciate your thoughts.

    @Black-Square (msfs20/xbox) Opening storm window at let say 10000ft altitude in any of bs ships doesn't affect temp in cabin at all, not a single degree down.

    I would certainly love something different from Garmin, like the Aspen units. However I think the best way would be another dev like TDS for this. I'm still dreaming of a common interface for all addons, so you can change the avionics from a 3rd party provider all to your liking.

    Hi, Does anyone happen to know which vars store the DH and MDA values for the Starship? I don't think it's using the defaults like (A:DECISION HEIGHT, Feet), which would make sense as Starship has both Pilot and Copilot AAPs allowing each person to set separate values for DH and MDA. I'm working on a Streamdeck+ profile that's going really well. I think the only thing I'm missing (until I invent another page of "definitely-useful-things-I'll-need-all-the-time") is these two values. I'm successfully using the relevant HVARs to manipulate the DH and MDA knob (H:PFD_DecisionHeightKnob_Dec_1 and the like), but I just can't seem to get the Behaviours window or AAO to spill the beans on the values. Thanks!

    @SadBucket said in GNS530 issue after latest MSFS2020 SU16: you can select the KX155B as secondary with the 750. That is what I have been doing. Of course, but IRL I wouldn't file RNAV IFR routes without a backup GPS unit. And since I fly mostly to smaller airports where RNAV approaches are far more common... The best solution, of course, would be to have support for a backup 650 or even dual 750s. I note there's an active topic discussing just that.

    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.

    Request - G1000NXI Option For Future Black Square Aircraft In Development

    said in Request - G1000NXI Option For Future Black Square Aircraft In Development: @Black-Square Yes, PLEASE PLEASE add the G1000 to the TBM 850. This model is my favorite GA aircraft and I've been waiting for the G1000 options as I've built a lot of home cockpit hardware based on this plane for FSX, including the overheads switches, etc., but nothing is available for MSFS. I vote for the G1000 option! I do use your analog 850 and love it, but I prefer the G1000 and would gladly pay for this option if needed. Thanks!

    @SadBucket I think you can fix that issue by changing a few lines in the right config files within the livery structure. I did this with some F28 and other liveries quite a while back, before the F28 was updated to native. I'm sorry I don't have time to dig through and look for it right now, but I'm pretty sure I found the method in this thread: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/unofficial-guide-to-conversion-of-liveries-for-msfs-2024-2020-legacy-aircraft-only/677083/34

    Checked it out - found the anchor, found the clipboard too, thank you! I will thoroughly testfly this aircraft, probably somewhere in BC, Canada (as of today ). The manual suggests it's a pretty detailed aircraft which I didn't expect.

    @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

    Master Caution and Master Warning outputs

    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.
