    Hi. Thank you for the detailed reply. Totally understand it must be more frustrating for you than me. This issue certainly has legs. I inadvertently misled you re. MS placing blame on the developer. What I was trying to say was that any issue with a third party module gets instantly moved to a section of their forum which is little better than a dustbin: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/dynamic-registration-issues-with-3rd-party-a-c/758875/4 So when I say it’s a developer issue, I’m saying that whatever you raise regarding a third-party module on the MSFS forum, it’s instantly moved away from the issues section where people can usefully vote if they have the same issue to a section that is essentially ignored. It baffles me how MSFS don’t appear interested in how their beta changes are negatively affecting third party ads-ons. I don’t really use any of the stock aircraft (quite like the Asobo 152 & 172 - plus some others), but without my A2A, BlackSquare, PMDG, Just Flight, FSR and FSW addons I don’t think I’d be interested in MSFS currently. The sounds and visuals alone of the Piston Duke climbing out, for example, is still incredible every time I see/hear it. It’s particularly frustrating on the MSFS forum as I can remember the issue with dynamic registrations first appearing (after they been working perfectly on Xbox). I raised the issue at the time on the MSFS forum hoping that it would invoke a near-instant reversal of whatever change they’d just made in whichever beta it was. But instead I got a “talk to the developer” and now we’ve had this issue baked in for a ridiculous length of time. I don’t use a PC at home, so posting and searching threads is all done on my phone (so apologies for my writing style), so not easy at times….but imagine this issue has been present for over 18months now. Could be a lot longer - time flies! Thanks again. Like so many on here I can only express my gratitude for you being such an open and engaging developer. Not to mention creating all of those amazing modules which greatly help me relax after a hard week. Regards, Mike. PS: I’m biting my tongue not to add to the requesters about Simbrief integration into the tablet. One step at a time :).

    @iflygary Well I do not find it difficult but need to admit that I switched from the in-sim bindings to Axis-and-Ohs a long time ago (several years). This way I can avoid the flaws of the sim with the addition benefit of being able to control much more than the ingame binding allows you. Most important in this case would be to use input repetition for the switch, otherwise it will snap back. I can provide you all the scripts you might need for controlling the Baron in case you would like to go this route. Just to give you a few examples, I can control the sunshades, every air ventil, and most of the other knobs and switches with hardware. It was a game changer for me switching to an external tool to control everything. No more lost bindings, no more missing bindings. Easy switching out hardware. Initial setup takes a bit longer sometimes but this is more due to find the right variables than to bind them. Sorry that I cannot supply more support within the Std.

    Had my first REAL experience managing heat and the avionics (just passed 400 hours in the Starship ). Starting up in Phoenix with my normal pretty quick startup procedure it got up to 138 degrees in the cockpit . Got an avionics failure showing an EICAS failure (hadn't turned it on yet). Turned the Alt blower on and got things started up. Once some slightly cooler air got in there I was able to get the EICAS up (no failure were showing on the EFB throughout this btw). Then the Copilots avionics had a bunch of failures while it was coming up. I turned them off for a bit while some cooling air got around from the engines and then was able to bring them up on the way to the runway. By the time I took off I'd managed to get everything up and running and all the tests passed - into the air and cooling things off. Still LOVE this aircraft after 400 hours!!

    Thanks for looking into it. Has to be incredibly frustrating for you! At least in this case there's an easy workaround for now - turn em off lol.

    @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.

    The issue persisted across all turboprop aircraft that have a condition lever. Re-installing Flight Simulator 2024 resolved the issue. I can only assume it was a faulty package upon installing SU5.

    @Heclak I just saw that documentation for the IFD series was posted recently. When I saw no mention of hot-swapping configuration, I looked elsewhere, and found a post from someone at Working Title saying that they will not not support hot-swapping with the IFD series. That's too bad, because it would obviously require substantially changing the architecture of all my aircraft to support one new piece of avionics. In order to add the IFD's, and maintain all the existing hot-swappable configurations, some of my aircraft would end up with 32 variations in the aircraft selection menu. I consider hot-swapping to be a major feature of my aircraft, so I'm obviously disappointed to hear this, but I feel worse that it artificially limits the options that I am able to supply to my users.

    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.

    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.
