    I don't think the Commander will make it into this weeks releases. The 2024 version is ready to go, but the 2020 version isn't available for testing/approval yet. I'm pretty confident about a release next week though.

    Hello, I've been enjoying the Caravan Professional quite a bit. I've got a nice SPAD.next profile set up for myself. The only then that I can't seem to get working, and it's bugging me quite a bit, is that I can't seem to get the inertial separator and the gear lever (for the amphibian version) to work. I've tried multiple configurations, including the L:XMLVAR_InterSep (0 and 1) and the L:var_WaterRudderHandle (set 0 and 100), but the levers in the cockpit don't move. Any suggestions?

    It truly is weird, it looks like it doesn't happen every time, or at least I don't always notice it, but when this happens, there usually isn't much noise since the plane is in cold and dark, so it's easy to spot.

    Hi, I am new to ms and trying to understand the Turbine Duke, but sadly the guide is missing here and there some infos like some buttons. For example on the left side, between Ignition and starter they are buttons - LT RT GEN Reset - I can't find a full explanation of what they do? Or for example "Go Around" on the throttle. Is there a page where I can find all the little infos about this plane?

    @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 finally found the cause. The TBM 850 integration was working correctly. The issue was caused by a PMS50 GTN750 option. In the integrated cockpit GTN750, System → Setup → Options → VCALC was enabled. This option forces the VCALC page to be displayed instead of the VNAV page. After disabling it, VNAV Profile immediately became available in the cockpit GTN as well. So this was a layer-8 configuration issue, not a problem with the Black Square TBM 850. I sincerely apologize for posting this in the TBM forum. Thank you for your patience and for reading through my overly complicated investigation. Greetings from Berlin! Kai! P.

The windshiel heat is on as you can se on the schematic table. And Still no weather addons in the game. just defult live weather. The ice builds up as soon as there is clouds and temps in the negatives, it can disappear if it gets clear skies but will return if I go in some clounds. And the heat is on at all time.

    I opened a ticket with SI on this also. For me, it wasn't doing this a couple weeks or so ago and doesn't do it when the SI app is closed. Must be they are turning com1 back on in MSFS due to tickets with people that don't know how it works. X-Plane 12 works perfectly, I can switch mics and turn off radio receivers without the com1 receiver coming back on after a few seconds with the SI app connected.

    @Black-Square I've never encountered a problem with anyone's hot-swapping (as far as I know), so I assume most 3rd party devs must be doing it "responsibly," so to speak. In that same discussion, an A2A dev is talking about how many variants they would have to have for their planes if they wanted to accommodate customers' requests without hot-swapping... I don't envy any of you the job of pleasing all of us lol

    Ah, thank you for uploading the video. That's exactly what I needed to see what you were talking about. That is an artifact of MSFS 2024's exposure compensation. You might be familiar with exposure compensation as the bright white skies you experience for a few seconds when looking up from a dark instrument panel. There are settings related to exposure compensation in the simulator's graphics menu, and you might be able to find more online about how to fine tune this feature. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you in the meantime.

    @Black-Square On #2 I meant an accumulator failure.. It was a slip on my part. I had reported this to you a few months ago. I edited my OP to correct my mistake. On #3, when I am demonstrating procedures for OEI, sometimes I can't get the prop to fully feather and I have to dive to get the inop engine RPM well above 1500 rpm and then quickly pull to feather detent. It's never that specific to get the prop to feather in the Baron.

    If I understand what you're looking to do, this would be determined solely by the font you include in your package. You should be able to accomplish almost any effect you're looking for, so long as you're willing to edit the font.

    @Buzz thanks for posting that, the Command 114, 685 and 690B look interesting, especially the 690B. Hoping the King Air is next to release.

    @SchnauzerMan Hello, I am here, always working on my airplanes I don't really know. Just not enough posts to warrant it, I guess. Just Flight manages the forums. I just develop the aircraft. Have you updated your TDS installation lately? Those all sound like issues inherent to the Working Title G3X and TDS GTNxi interconnectivity, not the aircraft specifically. I haven't heard any other reports like this, despite the aircraft being update about a year ago with these new features, and being tested by the TDS developer himself, so hopefully it's just an outdated installation. It would also be helpful to know if you're using MSFS 2020 or 2024, in case we need to provide more information for him to investigate.

    @Rich Hi Rich! I think I have noticed a bug with new installers you're using for the Caravan Pro. On initial install, you can select a custom directory, which I did for v1.0. However, after downloading the updated v1.1 installer from the website just now, here is what happened. Normally, the installers can handle updates themselves without having to uninstall the old version. However, this time, even though it said in the installers UI that is was updating from v1 to v1.1 - it did not respect my original custom directory. It deleted the old v1.0 files, and then installed the new v1.1 into the MSFS 2024 community folder like the legacy installers would. Could it be rectified so that when updating an existing addon with InstallShield, it respects your custom install directory of the existing installed addon? Thank you

    @Buzz It’s not about staring at the plane from the outside, it’s about visual consistency. Since the spinners are part of the pilot's field of view, a static ice effect on a rotating part looks like a glaring oversight. Black Square is known for 'study-level' systems, so the visuals should match that level of detail. As I mentioned, Just Flight has already proven it’s possible to do it right.

    Sorry to hear that. To the best of my knowledge, I haven't done anything different in the configuration files between any of my aircraft in this respect. I know this feature has been inconsistent in MSFS 2024 since release, however. Perhaps someone else will chime in with some advice. You could also try Just Flight Support. Since they deal with a lot more aircraft than just my own, they might have seen this before.
