    @smokey01170 I’m feeling Thursday, considering what was said above, with regards to testing needed and staff away for the holidays. But I wouldn’t mind being wrong.

    I addressed both of these with my sound designer well before release, and we spent substantial time trying to figure out what was going on. I don't remember exactly how that conversation resolved itself, but I'll bring it up with him again before the next update.

    @kletzi said in Occasional aggressive pitch-down events on approach: Yesterday and today (2.1.2026) I had very aggressive pitch down in a reproducable setup on short final at ELLX runway 24. The airport is on an elevated plateu, together with the wind 25012KT this creates quite some turbulence when entering the plateu. However, with Starship this seems especially bad, causing a pitch down that I couldn't recover from (AP and handflying) at first, and finally managed to just barely catch with full elevator deflection when expecting it beforehand. I tried the approach with another aircraft and while it got violent turbulence as well, there was not nearly as much pitch down as with Starship. Speed is not the issue. With calm weather there is no issue. Is Starship especially vulnerable to this kind of turbulence? Should it be? I also had something similar happen at Rimini in the meantime, though it was higher up and gave me a chance to recover. It might be exaggerated in starship because of the methods the developer has to use to get the canard wing to properly behave and feel within the confines of the sim. I notice a few developers of planes with complex flight dynamics, specifically airliners, recommend setting the msfs turbulence from realistic or medium, all the way down to low. Low is not as fun but it might be worth the try to prevent this kind of odd behaviour.

    Well the indicator seems to have resolved itself lol. Yeah I found an earlier message later yesterday talking about the oil door. Man there's a couple really weird things about the Duke - setting off a master caution for a normal operation with the oil door and no indication for cowl flap position!? Beech quirks

    For those having issues with Real Taxiways breaking third party airports, are these 2020 airports that you just dropped into 2024? I've had some bad bumps in the Feel There KSTL and on a whim I remembered this topic and excluded the KSTL bgl from Real Taxiways. Flat as a board now. Their KSTL has not been released for 2024, pretty much all my scenery is just 2020 stuff dumped into 2024.

    @Norman99 Just to clarify, the Analog King Air and Analog Caravan do not have the turbine engine simulation that my later aircraft do, so this is expected for those older aircraft in my fleet.

    Oh, I've already fixed this on several of my old aircraft (some of which may not have had a public update since then), but you should see it in the changelogs moving forwards. Sorry I never replied when I made the changes several months ago!

    No update, since it's been the holiday season. I've been struggling with the recommended techniques for state saving since MSFS 2020, so I'm going to finally use this an an excuse to pressure Asobo to fix the issues once and for all. I apologize that we're going to be waiting for a solution from Asobo in the meantime, but the lack of hobbs time saving is the strong indication that this is a simulator level issue.

    Agreed, same reason I only ever use the G530 and G430 combo.

    I started up my sim to see if I could find out what went wrong and the whole thing was suddenly working as it should! Creepy. I will try to remember your gem - "can be fixed usually by just toggling the hot-swapping radio configuration." Cheers

    So, the dynamic registration still isn't working, but I use the tablet to set it and I'm okay with that. I also figured out, the state saving and hours issue is FS24, not BlackSquare. If I can get the program to shut down normally it saves the hours, etc, but most of the time it hangs and I have to shut it down through Steam, so no data is saved. I assume nothing is written to the state.cfg file until FS24 shuts down, is that correct? It would be nice if it wrote when I exited back to the main menu, then I could copy the stage.cfg out and back in before the next flight. Not elegant, but it would work.

    I appreciate you having a look. Let me see about making a video. FYI, this is in relation to MSFS, not 2024.

    @thecheesedip The 1900 would be a perfect addition following a King Air. Almost the same aircraft.

    @KAPA-Flyer Yeah, I have to agree with you, too. When I bought those products, I wasn't looking for the Black Square level but for the "6 pack" "analog" look.

    @DocZ That's exactly what I've done with all my Black Square planes, no issues here.

    Yes, the idea is cool, I would also like a plane, and even with a g1000. But while I'm enjoying the A36TC, I've already conquered 3 continents.

    @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.

    Ok, the last 5 times I tried it, it wouldn't work. This time I started flight sim to get you that screen shot and it fired right up... I dunno...

    @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.
