    @fenthanyl I know the feeling. I'm also one to try solve my own problems before asking for help, probably to a fault. I'm just glad it's working now and you're able to enjoy this unique method of navigation. As always, let me know if there is anything else I can do for you!

    I did four flights in the Baron today, and on the last one I used the 3rd Party KLN90B GPS. The flight was to EGGP. ATC gave me vectors for the ILS RWY 27 approach. As I no longer needed to follow the GPS, I switched the NAV source from GPS to NAV. I had the ILS tuned into NAV 1 (111.75) and the course set on the HSI. The ILS was identified and the needles started to creep in. I was in HDG mode, with APP armed. But the localizer was never captured, the Baron continued in HDG mode. I tracked the localizer in HDG mode, then disengaged HDG mode, clicked APP but nothing happened. Turned off the F/D and the A/P completely, back on, hit APP, nothing. I eventually landed manually. It would appear to me this issue does not occur with the GNS 530/430 but it does occur when either the Black Square RNAV system or the KLN90B panel config is used. I am yet to fully verify if the GNS 530/430 aren't affected but I can't recall this happening with that GPS config. I will download the free PMS and see if the issue happens with it.

    SimBrief has performance built-in. Even takeoff performance. Which I have checked is spot on!

    Absolutely love to see this. I noticed the analog king air appeared to be a better trainer than the B200 sim I was trained on. It felt like the systems were modelled for a full cockpit sim as well.

    Sorry for the delay. I was not sure if this would really be feasible to tutorialize, but after looking at the code, I think you will be able to figure it out. Here is the process. Let me know if you have any trouble following it. This is probably one of the more complicated things I have ever offered to walk someone through, so I apologize if I'm assuming any knowledge or skills that you don't already possess. Locate the following block of text in KR87.js: case "frqTransfert": if(this.multiMode != 0) this.multiMode = 0; else SimVar.SetSimVarValue("K:ADF" + this.radioIndex + "_RADIO_SWAP", "Boolean", 0); break; Copy this block below the break;, and rename the case for what you want to call your HTML event. For example, bigInc, will correspond to the HTML event, >H:adf_bigInc. Edit the second to last line of the code block to trigger the native K:Event that you would like. For example... SimVar.SetSimVarValue("K:ADF" + this.radioIndex + "100_INC", "Boolean", 0); For the small knob, which depends on the state of the knob being pulled or not, it would be... if(SimVar.GetSimVarValue("L:var_adfKnobPulled", "bool")){ SimVar.SetSimVarValue("K:ADF" + this.radioIndex + "10_INC", "Boolean", 0); else SimVar.SetSimVarValue("K:ADF" + this.radioIndex + "1_INC", "Boolean", 0); Now, search for ADF_Knob_Frequency_MHz_1 in AnalogTBM.XML. Here, replace the two following K:Events... <CLOCKWISE_CODE>(&gt;K:ADF_100_INC)</CLOCKWISE_CODE> <ANTICLOCKWISE_CODE>(&gt;K:ADF_100_DEC)</ANTICLOCKWISE_CODE> With your own new HTML events: <CLOCKWISE_CODE>(&gt;H:adf_bigInc)</CLOCKWISE_CODE> <ANTICLOCKWISE_CODE>(&gt;H:adf_bigDec)</ANTICLOCKWISE_CODE> This is the basic principle for all the changes that you want to make. Please let me know how this goes, and what else I can help you with. Thanks for being willing to experiment with this on your own! Like I said, I will consider doing this for all my aircraft in the future when I see exactly how many interactions would have to be updated across all my aircraft, but in the meantime, I am happy to help!

    @Black-Square said in Velocity XL: cannot change G3X CDI source to GPS when starting cold and dark: Glad to hear it was an easy solution. I thought that might be the case, but I try not to assume the simplest solution, lest I insult the intelligence of my users when I'm the one not thinking very hard! I work in support. You can never rule out the simplest solution, at any level of intelligence.

    Sure thing. If you search for... SimVar.SetSimVarValue("L:var_RNAV_WAYPOINT_NUMBER", "number", this.displayChannel); and add this, immediately below... SimVar.SetSimVarValue("L:var_RNAV_ACTIVE_WAYPOINT", "number", this.useChannel); That should do the trick too! Always happy to help.

    @pleiades4519 said in Black Square in MSFS 24: I'm curious too. Hopefully the Dukes are compatible as Microsoft said they should be. Every developer I follow that has said anything about 2020 compatibility in 2024 has said it's not nearly as simple and easy as advertised. Martyn from JF said in the RJ topic on the MSFS forums that Asobo is taking feedback from developers on common issues, so hopefully it will become easier pre/post 24 release, but everything is still apparently very fluid. I'm sure Nick has seen this by now, but he's heads-down with more than just the Starship apparently, so I'm sure we'll hear either here or elsewhere when he has something he wants to say about it.

    Hi, Sorry I miss understood you. I have downloaded the latest version of pms50-instrument-gtn750 and that seems to have done the trick. [image: 13992e61-4516-47b7-9ab0-dbd6c0a1d6d7.JPG] However not sure if this is a false positive but the zip file according to my mcafee contained a trojan virus in the Integration.pdf file:- [image: 25aca3dd-ab48-433f-b0b6-149f2854aaf2.JPG]

    Found all the takeoff and landing distances in the original manual and added to the collection. Very useful pages, only 6 in total. Back in the days, PMDG had an excellent A5 printed manual set for their MD-11, the one I used the most was the smaller 'Quick Reference Handbook'. Excellent companion when flying and learning the aircraft. If there was some small quick reference handbooks for the BlackSquare fleet, I would happily order them.

    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.
