    @Black-Square I double‑checked the electrical circuits, circuit breakers, EFB failures, and radio height simvar. I tested both the cargo and passenger variants, used only the default livery, and even tapped the instrument glass a few times, but I still couldn’t get any needle movement. Any other ideas on what might be causing this issue?

    If that's the case, then it suggests that the GTN is still writing to the message variable, even when the feature is disabled. Looking at the current integrator's guide for the GTN, there isn't a mention of the the original message variable, so I would have to go looking through the code to see if the disabled state is exposed. I'll mention this to the developer next time we're speaking.

    @Black-Square Sorry about that one - for some reason I thought real taxiways changed the pavement markers too. Here's another one today: CYHZ Runway 32/14 - all of the signs say 23-05. Runway 23-05 is correctly marked. Let me know if you want me to continue to tag you on these - or just post and let you get to them when you can.

    Assuming the updated manual will be released before the next update, Just Flight normally takes a bit before the downloads are updated themselves.

    Hello everyone, I'm having some issues with "NAV" and "APR" modes. The issue is that it never shows the "ARM" status, but only shows the "green" status, even when the mode is not active yet. For example: I'm on HDG mode, and far away from me I have a GPS track that I want to intercept. When I press NAV mode, it shows directly as green, even though I'm still in HDG mode and not following or intercepting the track yet. It shows HDG and NAV being "active" at the same time. Shouldn't be showing ARM until it's close to the track and the interception starts? And then NAV in green when is actually following the track? Same with ILS, you don't know when the APR is actually engaged or not, you don't get that feedback. The GTN 750 integrated autopilot indeed shows when these modes are "Armed" and when they are actually "Active". For contrast, the TBM autopilot shows the 2 modes as active, and nothing armed. Worth to say that I'm using the appropriate CDI Source for each scenario, and that the autopilot captures and follows GPS, VOR and ILS signals just fine. Is there any logic I'm missing? Does anyone else have experienced this? I appreciate any help, many thanks!! (I added a screenshot to better visualize the lack of ARM status) [image: JRPjkydx]

    Some of the central components of this sim are actually out of the cockpit of the Baron that I flew. [image: 47f92613-787e-412b-a778-70911a36a087.jpg]

    Many thanks for the reply. Apologies, I should have included the fact I’m on Xbox. So no option to interact with all those lovely variables accessible to PC users. It varies between addons which status lights work on the Turtle Beach “SIP”. All lights work for many a/c. It’s a fantastic feature for those of us on Xbox, for instance when the landing gear is in motion the corresponding light illuminates yellow, turning green when down and locked. The Master Caution and warning lights always strike me as odd as not working in the Black Square modules. Although it’s all a black art to me - I’m sure there is a very sensible reason! I’ve played flight sims on PC for 20+ years, but am largely content on Xbox for a variety of reasons so really want to remain on the Wonder Box. It’s just a shame that some basic game features are only available via third party software. Another minor source of frustration is the lack of mappings to standard key binds in many cases. The altitude pre-selection in the Starship being a good example. Similarly in the JF146, there is no way for Xbox users to map the “arm altitude” button to a keyboard/controller button. Regards.

    I haven't tried that yet. I did a flight today that worked OK so I'm going to cross my fingers and hope it was a one-time glitch! Thanks for the reply, you make great aircraft

    Oh OK, thanks. Would be much better if you could assign unique registrations to each livery (as you say, the UI definitely gives this impression). Odd, because before you change the number to one of your choice, all the original reg numbers are different livery to livery (from memory). Cheers.

    I started up my sim to see if I could find out what went wrong and the whole thing was suddenly working as it should! Creepy. I will try to remember your gem - "can be fixed usually by just toggling the hot-swapping radio configuration." Cheers

    I appreciate you having a look. Let me see about making a video. FYI, this is in relation to MSFS, not 2024.

    @KAPA-Flyer Yeah, I have to agree with you, too. When I bought those products, I wasn't looking for the Black Square level but for the "6 pack" "analog" look.

    @DocZ That's exactly what I've done with all my Black Square planes, no issues here.

    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.

    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.
