    @fenthanyl I know the feeling. I'm also one to try solve my own problems before asking for help, probably to a fault. I'm just glad it's working now and you're able to enjoy this unique method of navigation. As always, let me know if there is anything else I can do for you!

    I did four flights in the Baron today, and on the last one I used the 3rd Party KLN90B GPS. The flight was to EGGP. ATC gave me vectors for the ILS RWY 27 approach. As I no longer needed to follow the GPS, I switched the NAV source from GPS to NAV. I had the ILS tuned into NAV 1 (111.75) and the course set on the HSI. The ILS was identified and the needles started to creep in. I was in HDG mode, with APP armed. But the localizer was never captured, the Baron continued in HDG mode. I tracked the localizer in HDG mode, then disengaged HDG mode, clicked APP but nothing happened. Turned off the F/D and the A/P completely, back on, hit APP, nothing. I eventually landed manually. It would appear to me this issue does not occur with the GNS 530/430 but it does occur when either the Black Square RNAV system or the KLN90B panel config is used. I am yet to fully verify if the GNS 530/430 aren't affected but I can't recall this happening with that GPS config. I will download the free PMS and see if the issue happens with it.

    SimBrief has performance built-in. Even takeoff performance. Which I have checked is spot on!

    Absolutely love to see this. I noticed the analog king air appeared to be a better trainer than the B200 sim I was trained on. It felt like the systems were modelled for a full cockpit sim as well.

    Sorry for the delay. I was not sure if this would really be feasible to tutorialize, but after looking at the code, I think you will be able to figure it out. Here is the process. Let me know if you have any trouble following it. This is probably one of the more complicated things I have ever offered to walk someone through, so I apologize if I'm assuming any knowledge or skills that you don't already possess. Locate the following block of text in KR87.js: case "frqTransfert": if(this.multiMode != 0) this.multiMode = 0; else SimVar.SetSimVarValue("K:ADF" + this.radioIndex + "_RADIO_SWAP", "Boolean", 0); break; Copy this block below the break;, and rename the case for what you want to call your HTML event. For example, bigInc, will correspond to the HTML event, >H:adf_bigInc. Edit the second to last line of the code block to trigger the native K:Event that you would like. For example... SimVar.SetSimVarValue("K:ADF" + this.radioIndex + "100_INC", "Boolean", 0); For the small knob, which depends on the state of the knob being pulled or not, it would be... if(SimVar.GetSimVarValue("L:var_adfKnobPulled", "bool")){ SimVar.SetSimVarValue("K:ADF" + this.radioIndex + "10_INC", "Boolean", 0); else SimVar.SetSimVarValue("K:ADF" + this.radioIndex + "1_INC", "Boolean", 0); Now, search for ADF_Knob_Frequency_MHz_1 in AnalogTBM.XML. Here, replace the two following K:Events... <CLOCKWISE_CODE>(&gt;K:ADF_100_INC)</CLOCKWISE_CODE> <ANTICLOCKWISE_CODE>(&gt;K:ADF_100_DEC)</ANTICLOCKWISE_CODE> With your own new HTML events: <CLOCKWISE_CODE>(&gt;H:adf_bigInc)</CLOCKWISE_CODE> <ANTICLOCKWISE_CODE>(&gt;H:adf_bigDec)</ANTICLOCKWISE_CODE> This is the basic principle for all the changes that you want to make. Please let me know how this goes, and what else I can help you with. Thanks for being willing to experiment with this on your own! Like I said, I will consider doing this for all my aircraft in the future when I see exactly how many interactions would have to be updated across all my aircraft, but in the meantime, I am happy to help!

    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.

    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.

    Thanks for the updates, Starship 1.2 and Velocity XL 1.4

    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...

    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.

    I don't think Roy's Cafe is open. It sounds like they have tried to reopen and restore the place, but a lack of potable water and other resources have made it difficult. The area has been used in a lot of movies and other media. Harrison Ford landed a plane there as well. And yes, I took some artistic liberties to the second screen, but mainly the sky.

    That solution above worked for me. Copilot must have GREAT abs (holding their legs in the air the entire flight) - and the armrest cover for the breakers interferes with the arm but it looks pretty good. You have to make the change and then load flight simulator (or quit and restart). You also may have to have copilot weight in the right seat in the aircraft tablet and or the flight sim EFB.

    Hmm, the files manifest.jason in my 2020 installation specify version 0.1.3 for the Piston Duke and 0.1.2 for the Turbine Duke. As of today the Dukes do not appear on the 2024 Marketplace.
