    @Magic6420 @Magic6420 said in ideas for enlarge engine instruments panel?: I used to also use a free app called spacedesk to run out stuff to another screen or tablet. You might find that useful if it is still around for your Apple paperweight I do have it installed on my old iPad. Unfortunately, the moment I create a second view or undock any instrument in the sim, the FPS drops by half, so sadly this option isn’t useful to me. I’ll keep looking to see if there’s any panel or instrument in Air Manager that’s compatible with our Caravan before I invest. In any case, I’d be happy to hear other options if anyone knows of more. Regards

    I'd like to use the Star Trek font for the Blacksquare Starship, registration number NC 17017, but I'd like the lowercase letters to be the same height as the numbers. Is that possible? [url=https://postimg.cc/87XhSRH1][img]https://i.postimg.cc/jjtvyvnJ/DRt0h.webp[/img][/url]

    Thanks for sending them another reminder to fix this issue, asobo should be ashamed of themselves for doing nothing to fix it on their end its unacceptable I'm very disappointed in them.

    @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.

    I am now flying the B36T. I still shake my head about needing to manually twist the needle after every waypoint on the GPS flight plan, if I'm using TDS GTN750Xi. I just want to check in as it's been a year since the above dialog - is there still no way for the aircraft's HSI to automatically follow the GPS flight plan? Just can't get over someone who would invest in a turbo-prop and the surrouding technology, and not have the equipment to reduce pilot workload, keeping the eyes outside of the aircraft as much as possible. Just wanted to ensure I wasn't missing anything. TDS benefits: includes the IF in the transition list for RNAV's with no feeders (ex: KSMO RNAV 21, PMSS does not show DARTS, TDS (correctly) does. PMSS benefits: allows me to DTK sync to simulate having the equipment that can follow the GPS flight plan.

    @Subsonic said in A list of Squawks as a 10+ year TBM Maintainer: The engine is slow to spool on the starter. I looked into this today, and unfortunately found that there appears to be a bug in the simulator, as the parameter that's supposed to adjust this has no effect. Apparently, this was a known issue for turbojet aircraft years ago, but it was not fixed for turboprop aircraft. I'll see if I can convince Asobo to make the fix for turboprops too.

    @pieroni All will be told when we publish an update article soon. As several of you noted above, I did have the opportunity to record sounds from the King Air and Turbo Commander last week, as well as the privilege of flying both. It took me several weeks of contemplation to choose the specific King Air variant, with competing interests among my users. I think my final decision will deliver the best of both worlds, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts soon.

    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.

    Indeed, it is correct! You can see the early renders here, but an update is long overdue. The aircraft is essential done now, with the exception of sound. I recorded sound from a turbonormalized 114 this past September, and Boris will begin work very soon. The 114 will be my next aircraft released, which I'm expecting to be this June or July. I've had a lot of fun developing some new immersion features and unique avionics for it, so I'm glad you're looking forward to it! Yes, it will include the aftermarket turbonormalizing package, three-blade scimitar propeller, and optional electric air conditioner too.

    I totally support this idea. I've been wishing for a realistic Twin Otter for ages. The Aerosoft version for MSFS2020 was aesthetically awesome. But the systems, flight dynamics, and turboprop simulation left a good bunch to be desired. The default one isn't even worth our time mentioning. I am very impresed with the Blacksquare Caravan and I know they would make an amazing Twin Otter.

    @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.

    I'll fly in any weather, as long as I don't deliberately take off in it and instead let it surprise me at my destination.

    @Outermarker Oh that's really cool! I have a wishlist thread on the main msfs forums asking for a native G500/600 architecture. The G1000 is cool and all, but it's limited to just a handful of airframes - can't just drop it into any plane and be realistic. Same with the G3X - it is certified for the Bo, but wouldn't work for the Baron because it's not multi-engine compatible. That's why the G500/600 would be perfect. You could drop it into just about anything and connect it to a GNS or GTN, and still have a lot of the familiar Garmin functionality of the G1000/G3X.

    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.
