    @flyaldo There will be even more discussion about this on the official forums, but here's another thread from here (there are so many, I've lost track), with the same workaround. Sorry that we're still dealing with this issue. Only this week did we receive confirmation from Asobo that it will be "partially fixed" in SU5. From the longer description, I took "partially fixed" to mean back to the way it was in SU3.

    @Buzz said in SU5 VR bug: Cabin heat lever no longer interactable: isn't SU5 in Beta? Yes, you’re absolutely right—and of course there’s little point in troubleshooting issues in a beta. I was mainly looking for confirmation from others that this is indeed a bug.

    Occasionally I run into an issue where I can't complete the initialization of the CDU in the Starship. I can select "INITIALIZE SYSTEM" but then it gets stuck on the "VERIFY" screen. Selecting either "UPDATE POSITION" or "ALL DATA OK" does nothing, and no other buttons on the CDU work except the top row (HSI, RDR, ARC MAP). When this happens, it happens to both the pilot and copilot CDU, and the only way I can get off that screen is by rebooting the CDU with the breakers, which brings me back to the start. But this doesn't fix the problem. That being said, those things that are linked to the CDU (such as the FMS and radar) are unaffected and continue to function as normal, but they cannot be changed through the CDU for the remainder of the flight (because the screens that one would need are inaccessible). This seems to happen in MSFS 2024 specifically; I have not had this issue in 2020. It might also have something to do with the way ATC tends to reset the programmed flight plan, as I usually run into this problem midflight after that happens. This is what the CDU looks like when it gets stuck. [image: HVWFoFx.jpeg]

    Which simulator are we speaking of, and on which platform did you make the purchase? (Just Flight store, in-game marketplace, 3rd party retailer, PC, XBOX, PS5?) You can check the in-game version by searching for the package name in the "Content Manager" or "My Library". I'm happy to help you troubleshoot here, but when it comes to downloads, versions, stores, and installers, the best people to contact are the Just Flight support team. If they have any issues that need my attention, they have a direct line to me. I'm happy to help if you have any other questions, though!

    @Black-Square said in GNS530 issue after latest MSFS2020 SU16: @tttocs Funny you should mention this. When I started working on the avionics in my next (unannounced) aircraft that makes use of dual GNS 430's and 530's, I immediately started seeing this intermittent behavior again. I've tracked it deep into the code with the debugger, and I have still yet to find the issue. I was planning on bringing it up with WT before I release that new aircraft, because it's been years that I've been trying to track it down. I don't suppose you can also push the WT to put in the few hooks you make use of in your various engine computers, such as the TBM8 one? Last time I flew it there was still some missing integration regarding time and fuel to waypoints.

    @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..

    @Black-Square please do consider making an old-dusty-weathered livery including cockpit and cabin for caravan cargo. Makes a lot of fun in africa

    @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

    @Black-Square The more I scroll through fs forums, the more glad I am that I went into flying planes over developing simulated ones...

    Some of the central components of this sim are actually out of the cockpit of the Baron that I flew. [image: 47f92613-787e-412b-a778-70911a36a087.jpg]

    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.

    I haven't tried that yet. I did a flight today that worked OK so I'm going to cross my fingers and hope it was a one-time glitch! Thanks for the reply, you make great aircraft

    Oh OK, thanks. Would be much better if you could assign unique registrations to each livery (as you say, the UI definitely gives this impression). Odd, because before you change the number to one of your choice, all the original reg numbers are different livery to livery (from memory). Cheers.

    I started up my sim to see if I could find out what went wrong and the whole thing was suddenly working as it should! Creepy. I will try to remember your gem - "can be fixed usually by just toggling the hot-swapping radio configuration." Cheers
