    @Chotter I've fixed the fuel pump after engine start, but I don't see any mention of the temperature control knob or the overhead vent knobs. I only see the Bleed Air Heat switch and the Cabin Mixing Air pull handle mentioned. I also checked the shutdown procedure, and the POH that I have calls for the fuel pump to be turned off before the condition lever. I imagine this might be designed to reveal a mechanical pump failure before securing the aircraft, much like magneto tests during shutdown in reciprocating engine aircraft. However, all of this is predicated on the singular POH that I have used to develop my aircraft. There might be other instructions in other versions of the POH, or you might know better as an experienced operator. Always please feel free to share with me, and I will do my best to research the questions and make the expected changes. I'm delighted to hear that this aircraft is "very special" for you, because they are all very special for me, and it makes my day to know that there are others out there who will enjoy my aircraft the way they were meant to be

    L:var_engineDamage is just one minus the engine condition, so 1 (L:var_engineDamage, number) - in RPN will yield the engine condition formatted as you see on the tablet.

    And, of course, as soon as I post this... Earlier today I flew the RNAV (GPS) Z Rwy 12 approach into KTUS (Tuscon, AZ) and it performed flawlessly. Capture? Perfect. Descent? Perfect. No oscillations, no issues in capture just a textbook perfect coupled approach. Really not sure what to make of all this. Really not sure what to make of all this.

    I always publish changelogs with each of my updates, but since Starship was released for MSFS 2024 on day-one, there aren't any specific changelog items for the MSFS 2024 features. The walkaround features include the external power, pitot and static covers, engine covers, gear downlock pins, and chocks. I have some updates for Starship that are yet to be released, which will include interactable control surfaces, and sounds for all the walkaround actions. I hope that answers your questions! Always let me know if you have any more.

    FEATURES Voice&button controlled checklists for the Black Square Dukes, both piston and turbine powered. Based on supplied manuals with the version 0.1.2 models. Philosophy is on brief responses. Multiple answers are usually accepted. Increased flexibility can be achieved with base app’s, Checklist Reader's, settings. For most items, ”set” is suitable for steps requiring interaction and ”checked” for things to be monitored on. Checks are also have a procedural nature to help getting acquainted with the planes. Some steps have been added, which I consider to be absent. Such as transponder and chocks. New checks such as ”turnaround”, meant for group flights for example, have been added. For speed checklists, instrument marked speeds and placarded items are not included. Video demo: Youtube-link NOTES In case of bugs or corrections, send a private message in order to not clutter the forums. If a need arises for larger discussion, post on the thread of course. I changed the piston's genny values a bit as I've never seem the numbers listed on the manual. Contained checklists in 26FEB26 release: 1. Preflight 2. Before Engine Start 3. Engine Starts (Cold,Hot,Flooded as well) 4. After Engine Start 5. Run-Up 6. Environmentals 7. Ice protection 8. Instruments 9. Before Takeoff 10. Climb 11. Cruise 12. Descent 13. Approach 14. Landing 15. After Landing 16. Shutdown 17. Secure 18. Turnaround 19. Speeds for all variants 20. Engine failure DOWNLOAD FROM HERE Pistons Turbine PS Developers, hit me up, if you'd want to have these created beforehand.

    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've recently been talking to the designers of several of those 3rd party livery packages about this. The problem is that Asobo requires us to rename the package for the Marketplace with Just Flight's company prefix (justflight), instead of mine (bksq). This means that the liveries don't work with the marketplace version, because the package name is different. You should be able to fix this on your end by renaming the package with the "justflight" prefix, although I have no tried it myself yet.

    @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]

    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.
