    BKSQ AP Issues. Example - Bonanza Pro - Flying a short route as follows: Airport to a VOR using AP in HDG then NAV mode using KX155. Having previously set up the KNS-81 to use the same VOR as ref, I made an "Offset" WP1 from that, so after passing the VOR I Use the KNS-81 & RNAV mode to nav to WP1. I switch over HSI Source to RNAV, AND also Press the NAV/GPS Button to set AP to follow RNAV. I Then line up the AC towards WP1 with HDG Mode, and then Activate NAV mode on the AP, and it steers correctly towards WP1, also showing "DME Data" in the DME Display that has been set to show RNAV. - Perfect! At WP1 I switch to HDG mode and turn towards the ILS (Set in KX155 NAV1) Feathers at a 30 Deg Angle and some miles out from where feathers start. Making sure HSI Source is now set to "NAV 1" & NAV/GPS mode to NAV, i activate APR Mode on the AP and get the correct AP Mode Annunciators APR & GS, and HSI indicates the Needle /CDI correctly. - . So Far So Good... Entering LOC Center line the Needle starts moving but nothing happens, the AP does not capture the LOC at all, and I have tried lots of sets of Approaches and trying different things to get it to capture. Finally I found, that If I immediatly after seeing the LOC Needle starts to move Press NAV/GPS mode to RNAV and then again back to NAV, Then the AP will capture the LOC/ILS correctly and the full ILS Phaze works as expected. It seems that If I DO NOT use the KNS-80/81 during a Flight, The LOC/ILS Works as it should, and If I have used it, I must Restart the flight from the World map to "Reset" the AP system. One more note only: When the AP does capture it almost always "aims" the AC towards the Rwy threshold and reaches LOC "center line" very late in my opinion Hope this helps to find the "Bug"

    Perhaps the smoking gun that this is on Asobo's side is the problem doesn't exist in flatscreen... Asobo made changes to object culling in SU5 and perhaps that affects mipmapping too. This was almost certainly motivated by PSVR2 on PS5 - and thus could explain the difference between flatscreen and VR. The problem with complaining to Asobo is they'll most likely kneejerk blame it on the third party aircraft and I haven't seen it in first-party aircraft so it'll just get deflected back. I have seen this exact behavior in one other aircraft: Taogs Hangar A365. One panel behaves exactly the same as what I see with the A/S indicator in the Baron; it's one or two mipmap levels lower than the rest of the cockpit, in VR only. I'm hoping they'll dig into it and find something that points a finger at something. Note: aircraft are downloaded so it's not a streaming issue, rolling cache reset - just in case, dynamic settings off, foveated rendering off, off-screen terrain caching set to ultra - just in case.

    There is also Reverse Hold button binding which effectively flips your axis to 0 -> -100, meaning you pull to idle, hold the button, push physical axis forward, but it increases reverse.

    @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.

    Assuming the updated manual will be released before the next update, Just Flight normally takes a bit before the downloads are updated themselves.

    I've often modified engine performance by taking its weight into account, using all the data I could find online. I've never shared my work on this because I don't have a real pilot's license.

The windshiel heat is on as you can se on the schematic table. And Still no weather addons in the game. just defult live weather. The ice builds up as soon as there is clouds and temps in the negatives, it can disappear if it gets clear skies but will return if I go in some clounds. And the heat is on at all time.

    I opened a ticket with SI on this also. For me, it wasn't doing this a couple weeks or so ago and doesn't do it when the SI app is closed. Must be they are turning com1 back on in MSFS due to tickets with people that don't know how it works. X-Plane 12 works perfectly, I can switch mics and turn off radio receivers without the com1 receiver coming back on after a few seconds with the SI app connected.

    @Black-Square I've never encountered a problem with anyone's hot-swapping (as far as I know), so I assume most 3rd party devs must be doing it "responsibly," so to speak. In that same discussion, an A2A dev is talking about how many variants they would have to have for their planes if they wanted to accommodate customers' requests without hot-swapping... I don't envy any of you the job of pleasing all of us lol

    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.

    @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.

    @Buzz thanks for posting that, the Command 114, 685 and 690B look interesting, especially the 690B. Hoping the King Air is next to release.
