    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.

    Hi I’ve been thinking about getting an FFB yoke for a while. Given my budget, the Monza AY90 is pretty much the only option I can afford. I mainly fly the Caravan in the sim, so I wanted to ask if anyone has experience using this yoke with it, and what you think. Is it worth the investment? Is it easy to set up? Are there any profiles specifically for this add-on? I’m currently using an MS FFB2 with the sim, and one thing I’ve noticed is that the ailerons feel much lighter than the pitch. Is it the same with this yoke? Thanks, and cheers!

    @afowle23 Most of the time when this comes up, it's because auto-mixture is enabled in the simulator menu. If that's not it, then please feel free to supply more details, and I will be happy to help

    @Black-Square I am very sorry to hear that not all is smooth sailing over there and that you're potentially having a rough time. Here's to hoping things have either resolved in a positive way quickly, or will do so in short order.

    Hello everyone, since there haven’t been any further updates for this aircraft since August 28, 2025, may I ask when the next one is expected to be released?

    @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 would like to report a possible issue with the beta-range thrust modelling in the MSFS 2020 version of the TBM 850 (v0.1.4). When taxiing on a level taxiway, with approx. 50% fuel (2 Pax each 77kg) setting the throttle to approximately 60% of the beta range results in a delay of around 10–15 seconds before the aircraft starts moving. Once movement begins, the aircraft accelerates slowly and continuously. I find this behaviour rather unusual because the beta range should provide controllable positive thrust for normal taxi operations. Interestingly, the Bonanza Professional has a much more convincing ground-handling response. Could you confirm whether this is intentional behaviour in the TBM 850 simulation or whether the beta thrust response could be improved? I am specifically using MSFS 2020, not MSFS 2024. Thank you for your time and for your excellent aircraft development.

    @Black-Square Hi Nick, looking forward to the upgrades....I see echo19 has created a soundpack for theTBM850....Will any of this batch of upgrades include an official BlackSquare TBM850 soundpack update? Cheers James

    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.

    @Black-Square Nick, you told me to reach out to you via the support system a few times, and then confirmed that you received my email, but I've never received a response from you. This goes all the way back to Starship's release. I'd be happy to offer you any references/insight/testing you may need, in addition to access to my 840, if you'd like. If you're considering an MT 5 bladed propeller option, my airplane has them.

    Thanks, appreciate if you can improve your prop animation for 2024. The vast majority of developers get this completely wrong, most of the Asobo default single engine prop aircraft are borderline unusable because of their terrible prop animation effects. Yours is not terrible at all, but can still use some polish when it comes to not seeing individual blurred blades. In reality you simply don't see those at all at medium and high RPMs, it's a clear disc, so no flickering when looking through the prop. Obviously this animation is less critical on twin props when one is not forced to look through the disc. But if you could carry over these 2024 improvements to the Bonanza, that would be superb

    +1 to this - I also have the "other" one, and while it scratches an itch - a BlackSquare version with all that entails, would blow the other one out of the water. Something about the Avantis have always appealed to me, but sadly have never had a super high quality one in the sim that also functions to the level I'd hoped.

    @Ratman I don’t really see this coming. I really think it is a detriment to continue to support MSFS2020. There is no walk around mode in 2020 anyway and the only way it could be a thing is if you click it in 3rd person and that would cause way more problems than it would be worth. It’s harder to support 2 sims and I think 2024 is actually more stable than 2020 right now. If you have the internet speed to support it I would absolutely make the jump if not, I would absolutely make yourself heard about a need for an offline mode in the MSFS forums because I think that is the only thing keeping people on 2020.

    @Black-Square said in New and improved state saving: @Bishop I've been up all night monitoring the 114 release, so I've been slowly working on the code rewrites required to bring this to all my other aircraft. Glad tp hear you're looking forward to it, because this one is a lot of work. Wow, I recall you mentioning somewhere on the forum long ago just what a time consuming project that would be.... Many thanks and appreciation! Wild to get that kind of enhancement for free.

    Glass out does a pretty good job of finding most screens and instruments (not all). Most of these are from glassout - they look exactly like the starship cockpit above. [image: 3c0b01b5-61dc-413a-9454-08c6e6eafa5a.jpeg]

    @Butsey19 I used to fly an E model years ago (many years ago lol). I would absolutely love a C model too. I know I'm asking too much but it would be amazing if he did a release that included an early period model, mid period model, and late period model. So like a C then a K or TLS then the acclaim. I would drop some serious cash on that lol!

    @alanfernandes Yes you are correct but a lot of 3rd party devs have added in other features that aren’t included with the base working title avionics. Like for the G3000/G5000 Skyward developed a whole Datalink functionality with it and it has some protections built in. Especially now that we know that the King Airs are gonna be the 300 and the 1900D both of them could get garmins. The 1900D has a slightly specialized one called the G950nxi and the 300 has the regular G1000nxi.
