    I think people are calling the fact that the compass card moves when the gyro spins up "auto initializing," and that's where the disconnect stems from.

    Ok, simple testing complete. Active pause will not stop failures from triggering, whereas esc pause does. That suggests tay esc pause does indeed stop the code from executing, but of course does continue to allow the passage of time. It even automatically turns off active pause, which means my workaround doesn't work. Still, good to know where we are! Edit: but wait, if one manually locks time with the flow widget, then it will stay locked during an escape pause! So true pause does seem to be available with msfs2024. A bit annoying that you need a piece of (paid) third party software to do it, but it does seem to work.

    I’ve noted that when using the Visual Approach guidance of the TDS, the GS indicator remains fixed at the top of the HSI. Lateral guidance works as it should. Is this functioning correctly for anyone?

    I've been thinking of the simplest way to troubleshoot this. What color is the VOR icon on the ND or PFD once it's received? Otherwise, a screenshot would obviously be very helpful for me to see what's going on. Thanks.

    @Jayman88 Did you check the Activation Details for Real Taxiways 2020 under the "Your Orders" tab on your Just Flight account? Unfortunately, I know that @Voice-of-Reason is away on holiday right now, but I will try to get you an answer from someone at Just Flight if one of the support staff does not see this post in short order. Sorry for the wait!

    Breaking: I found a way to solve the problem It can probably be done smarter, but the way it was solved was to delete (or rename) the Packages folder, MSFS will rebuild it after a restart, copy Bsq King Air and Asobo King Air from MSFS2020 to the Community folder and restart the sim. I am soooo happy, because now I can run the Gps via Glassout. And it turned out that I was not the only one with this problem, my brother in law had the same problem. But @Black-Square : pretty pretty please with sugar on the top: please release a 2024 version. I got cat pictures

    I'm all for providing choices for people, especially if they draw more people to check out Nick's excellent planes. I won't be using those big screens, but I'm sure they'll appeal to a lot of folks who don't want to fly analog. Having said that, in the forums and discords I'm in for so many flightsim devs, wow, every avionics suite under the sun is being requested of pretty much every dev. I'm glad I don't have to try to please everyone!

    @Black-Square If you don't mind me asking, what do you change to make them more visible during the day? Something in the .fx file? Would love to apply that to my light mods on .to. You can DM if you'd like. Thanks Nick!!

    @Mustang said in No saving state: an 'export/import' feature on the tablet to save/load state files locally I feel the same way, and don't trust anything stored anywhere I can't keep on my desk. Unfortunately, the MSFS architecture purposefully makes it impossible to save files locally from JavaScript. The "work" folder is exclusively for WASM instruments, I believe, but don't quote me.

    @Black-Square said in Just Massively Impressed: Thanks for letting me know! I often wonder how many of my users are out there flying my older planes, versus how much of this tends to be "fad" driven. I'm the kind of person who would pick a couple of my favorite airplanes and fly them forever, so it's harder for me to imagine how some users fly something new every couple of months or even weeks! The Analog King Air was my first purchase and the only reason I still have MSFS 2020 installed on my computer. I have all your other aircraft, but I always come back to the King Air. Really looking forward to the Model 300 in MSFS 2024!!!

    Surely some self control is all that's needed there! Perhaps what would be nice is something like the old fsx a2a aircraft where on the pop up/tablet etc you can choose to inspect the aircraft which when lists the damage/wear and tear.

    Disclaimer, not a dev, info might be gappy or misremembered: FS9, FSX, and MSFS have for ever and always had essentially no way to realistically implement proper turboprop simulation due to core sim limitations, which I'm sure you might know. In recent years BS and a few other developers have managed to squeeze somewhat realistic behaviour out of the platform despite its faults, but still it's only ever been possible to properly recreate turboprop physics by running the addon's physics outside the sim which is rare (Majestic is the only one I know to have done it). Nick is a magician, but even so there's only so much that can be done in recreating a turboprop within MSFS, at least up until now. SU6 included a lot of turbine simulation improvements in its change log, hopefully this will translate to an easier life for devs and a more faithful recreation for us consumers. It's all hope for now though, I haven't seen any devs comment on it yet and it wouldn't be very surprising to find out that the changes hasn't helped all that much, but my fingers are very much crossed! Edit: Again, with no specific knowledge, it's also possible that the SU6 improvements could be great for a ground-up project, but require a complete rework of existing products. Just speculation.

    @Black-Square Nick, you told me to reach out to you via the support system a few times, and then confirmed that you received my email, but I've never received a response from you. This goes all the way back to Starship's release. I'd be happy to offer you any references/insight/testing you may need, in addition to access to my 840, if you'd like. If you're considering an MT 5 bladed propeller option, my airplane has them.

    Thanks, appreciate if you can improve your prop animation for 2024. The vast majority of developers get this completely wrong, most of the Asobo default single engine prop aircraft are borderline unusable because of their terrible prop animation effects. Yours is not terrible at all, but can still use some polish when it comes to not seeing individual blurred blades. In reality you simply don't see those at all at medium and high RPMs, it's a clear disc, so no flickering when looking through the prop. Obviously this animation is less critical on twin props when one is not forced to look through the disc. But if you could carry over these 2024 improvements to the Bonanza, that would be superb

    +1 to this - I also have the "other" one, and while it scratches an itch - a BlackSquare version with all that entails, would blow the other one out of the water. Something about the Avantis have always appealed to me, but sadly have never had a super high quality one in the sim that also functions to the level I'd hoped.

    @Ratman I don’t really see this coming. I really think it is a detriment to continue to support MSFS2020. There is no walk around mode in 2020 anyway and the only way it could be a thing is if you click it in 3rd person and that would cause way more problems than it would be worth. It’s harder to support 2 sims and I think 2024 is actually more stable than 2020 right now. If you have the internet speed to support it I would absolutely make the jump if not, I would absolutely make yourself heard about a need for an offline mode in the MSFS forums because I think that is the only thing keeping people on 2020.
