    @Villajota Thanks for the investigation! Your help is much appreciated when I can't reproduce these issues myself. This doesn't quite follow with your reported symptoms, but are you sure you don't have any hardware bound to any electrical circuits, or avionics switches?

    @CoolGunS said in Personalizing Starship: Lol this was funny, your transponder codes suggest you are expecting radio failures, terrorists and major emergencies. Nope, no terrorism, that's code 7500. Since afaik there are no permanently assigned transponder codes besides the two "squawk VFRs" and the three 7xxx codes, it seems logical to store those in the presets. I left out 7500 since in a GA turboprop, I figure the risk of a comm failure or emergency is greater than an act of terrorism, and having the two VFR codes is just convenient. What would you store there?

    @Rich Wow, thanks for the tremendous update, Rich! Thanks again for working so hard on this for me and my users. I was very happy to receive your update about the TBM at least! To add for everyone else here, we've also made progress on the Baron and Bonanza since you might have read yesterday. Progress!

    Upon further testing, other addons (like the SWS PC-12, FlightFX P180 and PMDG B737) still seems to work as intended, with ITT increasing as altitude rises and the engine power becoming ITT limited.

    Indeed! The TDS developer was actually nice enough to add that at my request! Perhaps others requested it too, but it still made me feel special while we were discussing how it would be implemented Yes, I will add this to the TBM for the next update after SU4.

    Thanks for letting me know! I often wonder how many of my users are out there flying my older planes, versus how much of this tends to be "fad" driven. I'm the kind of person who would pick a couple of my favorite airplanes and fly them forever, so it's harder for me to imagine how some users fly something new every couple of months or even weeks!
  • Black Square 2024 Standalone Models - Compatible With 2020?

    This is the time on Sprockets when we dance … wait, no, it’s the time when I gently and sadly say “told ya so”. The recommended CPU spec for 2024 is out, and has jumped by about 50% from 2020. My i7-6700k was slightly above the recommended CPU spec for 2020, but falls short of even the minimum spec for 2024. Since I’m at least a couple of years away from being able to swing new hardware, I’ll be forced to stay on 2020 for quite a while yet. So I dearly hope the existing BlackSquare products don’t discard 2020 compatibility. (Mind you, I don’t think it’s quite reasonable to expect Black Square to keep supporting 2020 for new products … but I won’t be able to purchase and enjoy them.)

    Than you for your suggestion. At first I could not get it working. After some more tinkering I got the lever working with these settings: for Variable: L:BKSQ_MixtureLeverPosition_1, Number >> Yep, 'Number' must be included Axis min: 0, Axis max: 1 >> 'with 100' the lever jumped from idle to max at once Update value: Rounding 'Float' >>if you leave it at integer it doesn't work These settings work for the Piston Duke also.

    I did a few flights and it's such a great plane. The engine management with the new lean assist and monitoring, plus customizable screen layout makes it even better than before. @Black-Square do you plan to add any minor features or enhancements to it after Starship is done? All I can think of would making high-res textures for the landing gear bays (they show up in the external views or when people inspect the plane on the ground), and the reversible prop would be really cool. Some dirt maybe.

    Ah, sorry you've encountered that one too! It relates to an internal simulator rounding error that has been with us for years now. You can read about it here. Luckily, there is a solution, but it's nothing that I can tell you how to do quickly. If you would like, I can provide you a file that should be a drop-in replacement. I just can't do it over the forums, so you will have to get in touch with Just Flight support, and then they can send you the file. Just create a ticket and let them know that I sent you. Sorry for the inconvenience! I will include this fix in the next updates for all my aircraft.

    Have not had the joy of playing with the Dukes yet, but hopefully on a rainy day soon'ish. Anyone who could shed some light on this?

    Isn't the Fuel Boost pump supposed to be on prior to start and the low fuel pressure light out? I've been flying the Caravan a lot in Africa and so far have had no problems starting.

    Thank you for the response and the instructions on how to fix the issue. I appreciate your work and the quality of your add-ons! Waiting for the release of the Dukes I was also wondering if there are any plans to introduce a dedicated GTN Xi bezel in future updates, instead of using a GTN bezel for both models?

    Thanks for the feedback. "After all: more switches = better plane" - I whole heartedly agree!!!

    Thanks for the thoughtful reply. Hope you find a solution, as you can see from my test, except for the main knobs, it seems a bit random what 'interacts' and not. Btw. I mentioned that I did this mapping to avoid getting a Octavi IFR-1, but I belive that fully interactive GPS-units would also benefit customers of this unit very much.

    Yes, it's the same situation. It should work with all the other GPS units, though. I have not seen a solution for the WT 530 proposed in the community, but from my perusal of the code, I believe it's something that needs to be added within the WT 530's code. I've already made several modifications to it myself, so I might see if there is something I can do.

    Very exciting! Looking forward to getting a 'cleaner' cockpit. As I don't know the aircraft(s) in real life, I sometimes find it a bit confusing when 'sim-settings' show up on the regular panels. So I like the approach of moving maintenance and aircraft options to a separate 'efb'. Also seems like a logic most developers follow these days. Looking forward to the preview, and intrigued about what the 'never-before-seen' features could be

    Are you referring to the morse code identifier? This is not in my control, and has bothered many simmers since MSFS was released. I recall hearing it loud and clear a few weeks ago, but perhaps the latest sim update took a step backwards in that department.
