    None or very little fuel will reach the cylinders during priming if the throttle is at idle, hence the call for "Throttle - Full Open" in the checklist. If you want to see how much fuel is being injected into the cylinders check out the engine visualizer on the tablet. Let me know if you need anything else

    I suspect you may have sat on the ramp with the engines running at idle with full mixture for long enough to foul the spark plugs. Try pressing the "Clean Plugs" button on the engine visualizer, and let me know if that solves your problem.

    @MikeyFlyz And I'm sorry that I don't have a quick answer for you! I think I would probably have to replicate your exact setup to figure out what's going on myself. I've been hoping that someone else with more experience with these kinds of setups would contribute. Given that the one in the cockpit is responding as expected, I don't really think there's much that I can contribute. In theory, the fact that the CDU is two instruments in one shouldn't really matter here, because they are really just one instrument in code displaying on one screen. It's only in the aircraft model file that this gets split into two displays. Sorry I don't have any more suggestions off the top of my head!

    @Rich Wow, thanks for the tremendous update, Rich! Thanks again for working so hard on this for me and my users. I was very happy to receive your update about the TBM at least! To add for everyone else here, we've also made progress on the Baron and Bonanza since you might have read yesterday. Progress!

    I was wrong about the taxi route in Chicago - that wasn't Real Taxiways causing that

    Upon further testing, other addons (like the SWS PC-12, FlightFX P180 and PMDG B737) still seems to work as intended, with ITT increasing as altitude rises and the engine power becoming ITT limited.

    Most people post their videos to YouTube privately, or Google Drive, or DropBox, or similar. Sorry that it's a holiday week here in America, so I haven't been at my desk as much to try this. From memory, I agree that the torque probably doesn't rise as much as it should with the feathering, but I think I know a new parameter I can use to add this pretty easily. @ErnieBall said in I can not get the Prop to Feather!: Also as seen in vid no 2, Th AC can be started completely with only the crashbar up!. No other signs of power on the AC. Looking at my code, that seems to be intentional. One would assume this is so an engine restart could be initiated in flight with minimal power in the event of failures on the other buses. I'll check the POH and see what I can find.

    @Black-Square Perfect aircraft choice to meet the software and systems standards of an FAA-approved BATD or even an AATD. The only comment from Nick about the Pro KA comes right after a post with a picture of a proper KA Sim.. It smells promising.

    @Bishop I'd be very surprised if it weren't an analog. I mean when has Black Square ever not done steam gauges? Ok, Starship, but that doesn't count that 80s glass cockpit is rad.

    I did find the tablet option for the tail numbers, thanks. And best I can tell, it looks like some stuff does save, I'll have to test further. I'm wondering if there's a workaround using a backup state.cfg file, pasted back in after the sim starts but before choosing the aircraft. Probably won't work, but maybe worth a try.

    The problem I am having is on the PC not xBox. I did try it on the xBox tonight and it was there. Same problem as last time I rented it. Main cockpit view was the ceiling. Could not get any other cockpit views with Ctrl-1-Ctrl-0. No I don't use Shift for views. Could not get any views I created to save.

    Just my 2cents on this. I know some other developers have done this like FlightFX with the HondaJet and the VisionJet. The Piper Turbo Arrow also have Navigraph and Simbreif in the tablet which was suprising. I know other do as well in smaller GA aircraft and as someone who is on Xbox this is amazing as we do not have the add ons that PC users to do allow for a pop out or things like that. The other thing to consider would be developing a stand alone pop-out for Navigraph/Simbreif for the marketplace. Similar to what PMS50 just did with the GTN750. Xbox users can now use a pop-out GTN750 like the PC users do. One of the reasons I love this so much is that it now, for the most part, allows every aircraft to have Navigraph and Simbrief intigration through the pop-out unit. Just food for thought.

    Speaking of panel retrofits - I did just find out that there is essentially a G1000 retrofit for the Commander 690B, if you did want to offer a glass cockpit option for it.

    @aeronautorbust said in No option for G430 to be the primary GPS for most Blacksquare aircraft in the avionics selection.: Is there a reason why the G430 STILL isn't an option to be used as the primary GPS? Indeed, there is! As you might have noticed, both the TDS and PMS50 GTN 650's can also operate as the primary source of navigation when no primary GPS is selected. I asked Working Title to provide the same functionality a long time ago, and I was politely told that this would be too difficult. I then proceeded to modify their code to create my own solution for this, and I can confirm that it was very dirty, difficult, and inconsistent. Just as recently as Flight Sim Expo this year (July), I spoke with a WT representative about this again, and referred to it as my most wanted feature. Perhaps the day will still come for this functionality, but in the meantime, we will both be patiently waiting.

    Almost everything works fine now in MSFS2024 except for the sound. The sound is almost inaudible, unfortunately...
  • KFC150 attitude hold mode?

    Ok, kind of have a solution for this - When in alt mode if you want to put it back into attitude mode press the VS eng button on the KAS 297B TWICE - first time engages VS mode 2nd time turns it off and leaves you in attitude mode - then you can use the up/down switch on the KFC150 to adjust your pitch attitude. Note that it seems like sometimes you also have to pull out the knob on the KAS 297B to put it into VS mode - still working on figuring out when that is/isn't required.
