Black Square Add-Ons

Any word regarding this last update? Waiting on SU1?

@Black-Square Wow that is awesome. Thanks for following up!

@Black-Square said in Velocity XL: cannot change G3X CDI source to GPS when starting cold and dark:

Glad to hear it was an easy solution. I thought that might be the case, but I try not to assume the simplest solution, lest I insult the intelligence of my users when I'm the one not thinking very hard!

I work in support. You can never rule out the simplest solution, at any level of intelligence. :)

Sure thing. If you search for...

SimVar.SetSimVarValue("L:var_RNAV_WAYPOINT_NUMBER", "number", this.displayChannel);

and add this, immediately below...

SimVar.SetSimVarValue("L:var_RNAV_ACTIVE_WAYPOINT", "number", this.useChannel);

That should do the trick too! Always happy to help.

Would love a Black Square Jetstream 31/41.

@Black-Square If you insist. 😉

@pleiades4519 said in Black Square in MSFS 24:

I'm curious too. Hopefully the Dukes are compatible as Microsoft said they should be.

Every developer I follow that has said anything about 2020 compatibility in 2024 has said it's not nearly as simple and easy as advertised. Martyn from JF said in the RJ topic on the MSFS forums that Asobo is taking feedback from developers on common issues, so hopefully it will become easier pre/post 24 release, but everything is still apparently very fluid.

I'm sure Nick has seen this by now, but he's heads-down with more than just the Starship apparently, so I'm sure we'll hear either here or elsewhere when he has something he wants to say about it.

Great !!! Love their products. Have a number of them. :-))

BTW This is a Big Update, not only significant bug fixes but also a number of added functionality.

Hi,
Sorry I miss understood you. I have downloaded the latest version of pms50-instrument-gtn750 and that seems to have done the trick.

However not sure if this is a false positive but the zip file according to my mcafee contained a trojan virus in the Integration.pdf file:-

Maybe it will come with the next update to the Caravan?

Found all the takeoff and landing distances in the original manual and added to the collection. Very useful pages, only 6 in total.

Back in the days, PMDG had an excellent A5 printed manual set for their MD-11, the one I used the most was the smaller 'Quick Reference Handbook'. Excellent companion when flying and learning the aircraft. If there was some small quick reference handbooks for the BlackSquare fleet, I would happily order them.

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!

This is the time on Sprockets when we dance … wait, no, it’s the time when I gently and sadly say “told ya so”. ;)

The recommended CPU spec for 2024 is out, and has jumped by about 50% from 2020. My i7-6700k was slightly above the recommended CPU spec for 2020, but falls short of even the minimum spec for 2024. Since I’m at least a couple of years away from being able to swing new hardware, I’ll be forced to stay on 2020 for quite a while yet. So I dearly hope the existing BlackSquare products don’t discard 2020 compatibility. (Mind you, I don’t think it’s quite reasonable to expect Black Square to keep supporting 2020 for new products … but I won’t be able to purchase and enjoy them.)
