    Ah, I found the problem. I'll fix this for the next update, but if you wanted to fix it yourself immediately, it should be as easy as the following find and replace: <ANIM_CODE>(L:var_trueAirspeedRing, number)</ANIM_CODE> <OVERRIDE_ANIM_CODE>(L:var_trueAirspeedRing, number)</OVERRIDE_ANIM_CODE>

    I do see this in several planes across my hangar. This seems to be an issue related to the core sim. AFAIK the Hobbs meter is managed completely by MS/ASOBO. At least I recall Nick mentioned this already several times. the Workaround that seems to somehow fix this issue for me is a bit time consuming but at least it works. load flight, before moving only a single meter I do restart the flight via the menue. After landing and shutting down the plane, I do “restart” the flight via the menue, again. Important to not exit flight, just restart. After the restart is loaded into the plane I exit the flight. This way the state save does work, hobbs meter is increasing and I do not loose flights from the logbook anymore. EDIT: Just seen, will check the base A36 to see if I can reproduce. Normaly I fly the Turbonormalized version.

    @ronstew said in Air Manager panel to match the Black Square Baron Professional?: What is Black Square’s position on this sort of thing? Do they actively cooperate, passively allow, actively obstruct, or something in between? Hi Ron. Broadly, I have nothing to do with any products, mods, or profiles that interface with my aircraft, but I would never actively obstruct anything that improves the simulator experience for even a handful of my users. In the past, I have been contacted by Air Manager for resources and to make modifications to my code to assist the creation of Air Manager profiles. I did everything I could to assist in the process, because I think the Air Manager system is a great way to enjoy my aircraft. I've actually been surprised that I haven't heard much from them regarding my more recent aircraft, but I would always be happy to help. I hope that answers your question! Let me know if there is ever anything I can do for you!

    I suppose the quality might be objectively better, but I actually prefer the Duke soundset overall - much 'growlier'. Just goes to show this kind of stuff is in the ears of the beholder..

    @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.

    @Black-Square said in KingAir 350 - brightness of the AP panel: If so, then have you tried adjusting the "ANN BRT" knob on the radio panel (right of the altitude selector)? I didn't know about that "ANN BRT" knob! Everything's fine work now.

    @fabristunt I generally update all of my aircraft at once with the latest features in the summer (as you seem to already know), but I try not to give a specific date, because things are just unpredictable with several aircraft in development, travel for sound recording, and Sim Update betas. I'm adding a number of features to my other aircraft, but many of them are sound related, so the TBM won't be receiving anything terribly groundbreaking. Nothing worth delaying your virtual adventure for, in my opinion, but if you tell me what features you're interested in, I might be able to send you some code early, if you're on PC

    my 2 cents. i have no need for hot swap. i am fine installing the variant i want, so GTN or GNS. and cant you reduce your variants offered. do you really need single dual GTN, 750, 650, GNS GTNXI each and every combination. i understood that Avidyne is a one to one replacement for the GNS530, so no changes in the 3d model needed. would love to see the Avidyne in the Duke for example or TBM850.

    Ah, thank you for uploading the video. That's exactly what I needed to see what you were talking about. That is an artifact of MSFS 2024's exposure compensation. You might be familiar with exposure compensation as the bright white skies you experience for a few seconds when looking up from a dark instrument panel. There are settings related to exposure compensation in the simulator's graphics menu, and you might be able to find more online about how to fine tune this feature. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you in the meantime.

    A BlackSquare Twin Otter would be amazing. It would fit right into the BlackSquare portfolio and is something different from the existing aircraft.

    @Black-Square On #2 I meant an accumulator failure.. It was a slip on my part. I had reported this to you a few months ago. I edited my OP to correct my mistake. On #3, when I am demonstrating procedures for OEI, sometimes I can't get the prop to fully feather and I have to dive to get the inop engine RPM well above 1500 rpm and then quickly pull to feather detent. It's never that specific to get the prop to feather in the Baron.

    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.

    @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.
