    https://docs.flightsimulator.com/msfs2024/html/6_Programming_APIs/SimVars/Aircraft_SimVars/#fuel-tank-selection (A:FUEL TANK SELECTOR:index,Enum) is what I've been using to read which tank is selected. 19 indicates the left main tank is selected and 20 is the right main tank.

    @Black-Square I will definitely give that a try when I get back home from Thanksgiving. On another note, I tested the plane at sea level and when I throttle back to idle it drops to about 380 but does not stall. As another test, I went ahead and tried the Baron G58 that ships with the premium pack of MSFS 2024 and at KEGE (6500 ft elevation) when I pulled the throttles back they both hover about 750 RPM. As a test I played with the mixture and it did not seem to affect the results unless I leaned it excessively, and then obviously it died. These test were obviously done with the exact same honeycomb mapping to keep everything consistent. Hope some of this helps you guys continue to tweak the Baron to make it as absolutely realistic as possible. I’ll keep you posted as to how your recommended change affects things, but it will be a week or so before I’m back in front of my flight simulator

    Similarly, while programming SPAD as well, I've been trying to understand the CWS/ATT mode further myself and have confused myself with the manual. Should pushing ATT sync the pitch knob/FD to the current pitch of the aircraft? Or should I be pushing CWS first to achieve that? (I suppose that's really an "order of operations" type question perhaps) Thanks!

    @Black-Square Hi Nick, thanks for the quick reply. I understand the Analog Caravan situation. I guess I'll be looking forward to the Caravan Professional when that is ready for prime time. Regarding the Duke, the engines were at %100 condition. I'm not sure what's going on either to be honest. Here's a quick, unedited video I made of a climb earlier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ml0lUdvuWAQ Video starts shortly after take-off at about 5000ft. Weather preset is "clear skies". You can see that throughout the climb the ITT keeps going down and I just keep pushing the throttles more and more forwards (except that one time where I overdid it and had to pull it back after realizing I'm over 760-degrees). By the very end, you can see that I'm fully forward on the throttle with no more space to go and I'm still in the green. Oh and in case it's relevant. I bought the Duke through the MSFS marketplace.

    Thanks again! Couldn't get that one to work, oddly, but I figured out a workaround with some simconnect variables so all working now

    @Black-Square Oooh let it slip a little! Although yeah I didn't have any doubt that a Professional quality King Air was coming from you eventually, even if it was still some years off. I'd be pretty stoked if you did a C90, whether it's the first Pro King Air or further down the road.

    Still no tail numbers in 2024, and no hours saved, in the SU4 Beta

    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.

    Black Square Tablet Features

    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. Info here: [image: 452e6ec3-ada0-48a7-9fc0-5022595770e3.jpg] https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2014/february/pilot/t-twin-commander

    No option for G430 to be the primary GPS for most Blacksquare aircraft in the avionics selection.

    @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.
