    We need a Black Square mystery box subscription, like you pay $75 a month and get a random plane delivered every 30 days.

    @striety OK - if this is about the difference between pricing in MarketPlace and outside, then that's not something we have control over. Standard Retail Price must be submitted to the MarketPlace in US$. Then, AFAIK, it is converted using the MP's own metric, to local currencies and VAT (and other relevant taxes) are added. It seems to be the case that prices of currencies other than $US, on the MarketPlace (PC or XBox), can often be higher than those outside. As I say, it's not something we control. The $ price we submit is the one you'll find listed on our website.

    Thanks to everyone for their replies, and especially Black Square. Black Square products are all superb and deserve their reputation as some of the best FS aircraft to have. Comparisons with A2A are inevitable, but each producer of content at these levels is unique and works very hard for the community. (A2A have long advertised that a lot of the flight model is managed outside the sim, by their own software). I do find ActiveSky for MSFS2024 is very helpful for the Baron Pro and some other aircraft in managing this low-level turbulence. I accept that turbulence is likely to increase at low levels and there are mechanical effects caused by terrain, but I find the effect in MSFS2024 excessive. Thanks for all the aircraft Black Square, which I still fly the most of all in my hangar!

    You might want to check the custom variables exposed through the aircraft’s WASM or local LVAR set, because many complex add-ons like the Starship store DH and MDA separately for pilot/copilot rather than using the default (A:DECISION HEIGHT, Feet) sim variable. Since you’re already manipulating the knobs with the HVARs, the values are likely being written to hidden LVARs that only update after the PFD logic runs, so monitoring them in real time with tools like AAO’s variable watcher can sometimes reveal them. I ran into a similar situation while building a Streamdeck profile and found that digging through community discussions helped a lot—there are some good threads and resources that point to variable lists and debugging tips over at Bstation, which might help you track down the exact vars used for the Starship’s DH and MDA values.

    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.

    Hi, thanks for Real Taxiways Europe, a fantastic addition! I'm using MSFS24. I had one question, I want to move one EHAM taxiway sign. Is that possible? I tried using SDK to exclude that one sign but was unsuccessful as well. Thanks for your support. [image: 7befb5c8-9982-43ed-b830-61904ba4ce93.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.

    @ramonesg Trying to coax all we need out of Nick at Black Square. Not strictly true but still details to iron out before we proceed with the news. Sorry for the slight delay with this.

    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

    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]
