    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.

    I'll fly in any weather, as long as I don't deliberately take off in it and instead let it surprise me at my destination.

    As long as it's an option - and not forced upon the user -, it's fine. I personally don't want anything turning red, blue, etc.

    @SadBucket you don’t necessarily need to rummage between different pages. Sky4Sim has already implemented a plugin that integrates its tablet into the MSFS tablet - for instance. If you want to use only Sky4Sim’s features, you can: just select the Sky4Sim icon and the S4S interface will appear and can navigate only the features provided by S4S — the only difference is that it shows up inside the MSFS tablet. It definitely improves immersion, especially in aircraft that already have the “3D MSFS tablet” available.

    Mapping BKSQ switches not shown in MSFS2024 to Honeycomb Alpha/Bravo

    @jmarkows said in Mapping BKSQ switches not shown in MSFS2024 to Honeycomb Alpha/Bravo: Things like LVars, HVars, etc. need external programs to map them to controllers, the base sim can't do it. Mobiflight is a free tool that does that and has quite the community sourced library of variables already set up. I've never used it to speak to how easy it is to use. There is also FSUIPC, which I use, but has a rather dated UI and it's very manual. There's also SPAD.Next and Axes and Ohs, all of which are payware and come recommended by their users. Thanks - I really appreciate the response. I did some more digging today and have now downloaded SPAD.Next (14 day trial) and found some good examples online.

    @SadBucket I think you can fix that issue by changing a few lines in the right config files within the livery structure. I did this with some F28 and other liveries quite a while back, before the F28 was updated to native. I'm sorry I don't have time to dig through and look for it right now, but I'm pretty sure I found the method in this thread: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/unofficial-guide-to-conversion-of-liveries-for-msfs-2024-2020-legacy-aircraft-only/677083/34

    Checked it out - found the anchor, found the clipboard too, thank you! I will thoroughly testfly this aircraft, probably somewhere in BC, Canada (as of today ). The manual suggests it's a pretty detailed aircraft which I didn't expect.

    @RPGamerous thats so true blue bushflyers itinerary. And why not, you are from Alaska afterall! To tell you the truth, i am greatly inspired myself from shows like ice pilots, channels like missionary bush pilot etc alongwith multiple books that i have read on alaskan and papuan bush flying. So much so that i have even done my research on bush trips in alaska and shall be visiting Africa this year. Currently i am flying (in sim) round the globe. Started off anchorage and flying totally no gps and only dead reckoning hand fly. Currently about to cross into greenland and then onto europe and Africa. So far did in norseman and cessna 172 and now in dc3. Waiting for caravan pro. I like default caravan but just that its glass..

    @Black-Square i agree that youll need to pull out the entire root if you think of yanking the bush. And in its current state the sim wont/ cant like that. But maybe implement the gear damage to the extent of default planes? They penalise the poor landings and choice of offairport ops and thus makes the pilots involve themeselves more and thus higher inmersion. Rest of course is your call

    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]

    Master Caution and Master Warning outputs

    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
