    I’m also on Xbox and I understand the frustration, but I think your ire against Just Flight is misdirected. It really should be directed towards Microsoft, for providing a very inflexible marketplace, where developers aren’t allowed the freedom that other 3rd party stores do. Just Flight offer the discount where it’s possible, so it’s not some deliberate policy to screw some of the customers over. It’s also not only Xbox customers that are affected, if I understand correctly, it’s the same for PC users that bought from the marketplace. The difference, of course, is that the possibility to buy from other stores exist on PC, but not on Xbox. For everyone that’s trying to provide solutions on how to make the Analog series work on 2024: there exists no community folder on Xbox, so what workarounds may have worked on PC, does not help someone on Xbox. While I don’t own specifically the Analog Bonanza, I do own the Analog King Air, and no amount of tinkering has ever gotten that thing to fully work in 2024. It is, however, working splendidly well in 2020. With that in mind, I’m looking forward to the announcement and release of a Professional version of the King Air, for MSFS2024, which will no doubt also not be available at a discount, for owners of the marketplace version of the Analog King Air.

    I agree it would be great to remove the KNS81... I get your point, but in reality no one I could think of would keep a KNS81 when fitting e.g. a GTN750. Also, you can easily check your navigation with your Navigation Software like Navigraph. That all being said, could you maybe explain how to remove the KNS "with the gap"? I figured with my avionics layout it wouldn't hurt too much. Also, is it possible to remove the MD41-328? Not that helpful with a GTN xD Kind Regards, Jannik S.

    @alanfernandes Ok, I did some digging. The Starship was originally designed in the 1980s and produced between 1989 and 1995. The original Collins AMS-850 had no GPS capability; it relied primarily on dual IRS with DME/DME and VOR/DME updating. However, the avionics suite was designed so that GPS sensors could be integrated later. During the aircraft’s production run, many were equipped with dual Collins GPS-4000 LRUs feeding the FMS, likely in the early–mid 1990s. This allowed the system to fly basic LNAV GPS approaches, though the GPS was mainly used to improve long-term inertial navigation accuracy by providing position updates to the FMS. The newer GPS-4000S units are generally backward-compatible replacements with higher precision and WAAS/SBAS capability, and they’re easier to source today since the GPS-4000/4000A units are no longer produced. Some Starships may have been upgraded to the 4000S, but since the AMS-850 predates many of the 4000S capabilities, it cannot use vertical guidance from WAAS approaches and would only benefit from improved integrity and lateral accuracy.

    MS are correct in that I finally signed it off for release on Tuesday afternoon and it was released shortly afterwards. The time between my last post and now involved bug reports and chasing Bundle version coming ASAP.

    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....

    I think there's a spelling mistake on the placard...the "I" doesn't belong there... [image: 68850030-19e9-4bf9-b26e-142a6c666292.png] Apart from that, a perfect airplane.

    @Black-Square, FYI, I sent the Dev for Pilot Edge a link to this thread. If he pursues this idea, then I'm sure he will reach out if he needs any help.

    Just a reminder that this was announced. I'm practicing my dual engine failure, tea pouring 1G barrel roll in the Barron. https://fselite.net/content/black-square-reveals-previously-unannounced-twin-in-development/

    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.

    @SadBucket I have like 20 hours in the DA40. Glider with a motor, a bit too slow for a sim model I would be interested in. And the TBM from these guys is too good to consider the FSR. Cheers!

    @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.

    @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
