    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.

    @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.

    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.

    @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
