    I just can't understand why put some much effort to model the piston engine quirks and then just pretend that engine oil is something that you just ignore.

    An answer to this would be nice. From what I read the Ultimate Bonanza conversions invariably include glass cockpits, so what's the reasoning here?

    Posting this in here because the main Black square forum doesn't seem to get much traffic and thought some may be interested in here. Details below but this is Baron 58 inspired in that the instrument panel over is the Baron panel from Altimeter Motives and the Baron is the plane I fly the most. The controls however are not Baron specific - it's setup to be generic and able to fly the whole fleet https://community.justflight.com/topic/11097/black-square-duke-baron-inspired-sim-pit [image: bacc0993-c272-4827-bb35-29a1c939e2c2.jpeg]

    @MiRexer I had the wrong circuit name in the EICAS code. Fixed for the next update. Thanks.

    @Tadeus72 Oh yes, I see the implementation problem with the engine-driven fuel pump failure. I'll fix that right now, and see if I made the same mistake in some of my other turbine aircraft. Thanks for pointing it out. As for the MTBF, I guess that's what makes it random, because it's exactly the same code in all my aircraft. A lot of the MTBF numbers are the same between the piston and turbine Duke, but the turbine engine components are generally much more reliable than those in piston engines.

    @Jayman88 Did you check the Activation Details for Real Taxiways 2020 under the "Your Orders" tab on your Just Flight account? Unfortunately, I know that @Voice-of-Reason is away on holiday right now, but I will try to get you an answer from someone at Just Flight if one of the support staff does not see this post in short order. Sorry for the wait!

    Breaking: I found a way to solve the problem It can probably be done smarter, but the way it was solved was to delete (or rename) the Packages folder, MSFS will rebuild it after a restart, copy Bsq King Air and Asobo King Air from MSFS2020 to the Community folder and restart the sim. I am soooo happy, because now I can run the Gps via Glassout. And it turned out that I was not the only one with this problem, my brother in law had the same problem. But @Black-Square : pretty pretty please with sugar on the top: please release a 2024 version. I got cat pictures

    I was hoping to buy it, but after these reports, I'll keep waiting for the BKSQ TBM850 update.

    Switched over the Avnx instruments for the Baron cockpit, same for the Caravan cockpit, and here's a few more Black Square aircraft. Haven't changed the hardware setup in months.

    I own nearly all of the BlackSquare aircraft and they are great to fly, but I fall somewhere in the middle on this discussion. I would very much like to see oil consumption be part of the equation. but it won't keep me from buying more of Nick's creations. Not sure why he hasn't included it, with all the detail in other areas.

    @Helix I don't sorry. There other things that need to happen outside just writing the code.

    @Black-Square Wait, do you mean within 2026 or within 1 year from this post? Either way, looking forward to your work, which unlike another recent release, is well worth the price...

    Hi, I have a question. Can you tell me if you're developing both the Beechcraft 1900D and Beechcraft 1900C for both MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024? Thank you so much for your help. Sincerely, Connor Richey

    Appologies to Nick as quite frankly any aircraft he makes will be a day one purchase from myself. I have a real hankering for a Swearingen Merlin and I think that would go rather well in your turboprop lineup. Although i think my want of the week will no doubt change again
  • Thank you BlackSquare <3

    I'm all for providing choices for people, especially if they draw more people to check out Nick's excellent planes. I won't be using those big screens, but I'm sure they'll appeal to a lot of folks who don't want to fly analog. Having said that, in the forums and discords I'm in for so many flightsim devs, wow, every avionics suite under the sun is being requested of pretty much every dev. I'm glad I don't have to try to please everyone!

    @Black-Square If you don't mind me asking, what do you change to make them more visible during the day? Something in the .fx file? Would love to apply that to my light mods on .to. You can DM if you'd like. Thanks Nick!!

    @Mustang said in No saving state: an 'export/import' feature on the tablet to save/load state files locally I feel the same way, and don't trust anything stored anywhere I can't keep on my desk. Unfortunately, the MSFS architecture purposefully makes it impossible to save files locally from JavaScript. The "work" folder is exclusively for WASM instruments, I believe, but don't quote me.

    @Black-Square said in Just Massively Impressed: Thanks for letting me know! I often wonder how many of my users are out there flying my older planes, versus how much of this tends to be "fad" driven. I'm the kind of person who would pick a couple of my favorite airplanes and fly them forever, so it's harder for me to imagine how some users fly something new every couple of months or even weeks! The Analog King Air was my first purchase and the only reason I still have MSFS 2020 installed on my computer. I have all your other aircraft, but I always come back to the King Air. Really looking forward to the Model 300 in MSFS 2024!!!

    Surely some self control is all that's needed there! Perhaps what would be nice is something like the old fsx a2a aircraft where on the pop up/tablet etc you can choose to inspect the aircraft which when lists the damage/wear and tear.

    Disclaimer, not a dev, info might be gappy or misremembered: FS9, FSX, and MSFS have for ever and always had essentially no way to realistically implement proper turboprop simulation due to core sim limitations, which I'm sure you might know. In recent years BS and a few other developers have managed to squeeze somewhat realistic behaviour out of the platform despite its faults, but still it's only ever been possible to properly recreate turboprop physics by running the addon's physics outside the sim which is rare (Majestic is the only one I know to have done it). Nick is a magician, but even so there's only so much that can be done in recreating a turboprop within MSFS, at least up until now. SU6 included a lot of turbine simulation improvements in its change log, hopefully this will translate to an easier life for devs and a more faithful recreation for us consumers. It's all hope for now though, I haven't seen any devs comment on it yet and it wouldn't be very surprising to find out that the changes hasn't helped all that much, but my fingers are very much crossed! Edit: Again, with no specific knowledge, it's also possible that the SU6 improvements could be great for a ground-up project, but require a complete rework of existing products. Just speculation.
