    Hi, thank you for your reply - it is really interesting how MSFS provides the data differently. I found a way to get the name easily, cause I am also using Simhaptic with a Buttkicker - and this software is more...let's say intelligent than the Moza Cockpit. This detects automatically which aircraft gets loaded (on MSFS, X-Plane or DCS) and it shows the internal name. For your aircrafts those are: bksq-aircraft-baron bksq-aircraft-baronpress bksq-aircraft-baronturbo bksq-aircraft-turbineduke And those names work as well for the Moza presets.

    @Tadeus72 said in Your favorite medium-long range cruise altitude: Thank you, often when crossing the States I actually look for a scenic route, this might be a great inspiration, will check it out. If you fly it, please let me know how you like it. I think there's one small "error" in it near the Grand Canyon, one airfield you can get into but the runway might be too short to get out of again. Of course, if you're not flying it for the VA you can skip it no problem. I've yet to fly it myself.

    Sorry to ask again, I don´t want to bother you, but it´s been 3 weeks since the release of the dukes (piston and turbine) as single aircraft on MS 2024 Marketplace. So I wonder when the bundle is coming? Since the aircraft are available now as single versions, I don´t get why the bundle takes so much time. Maybe another challenge with the store? Greets Data

    Yep - it's real taxiways. First pic is real taxiways on and 2nd pic is with it off. I've noticed this at a few other airports too - just kept forgetting to report it. Hopefully it's a code fix and not just one off fixes. It's always the sign that's wrong. [image: 93b6eb0d-5023-4f78-b50b-54601c0868ec.jpg] [image: a004a75d-9ee3-47e0-a88c-8dd65ea043c5.jpg]

    Thanks for the great offer, but it's a little too far away... I'm from Bavaria/Germany. And my wife is terrified of spiders So maybe in the next life - but who knows....

    Just sharing my experience, something I haven't encountered for a long time now, a gradual performance degradation over long flight. TLDR: reset the weather radar if sim become stuttery/crawling slow Was doing a long vatsim flight today and after around 2.5 hrs encountered stutters that won't go away. [image: cc8d0502-2e93-466d-8ca7-d0c1ae04db7b.png] After an hour or so sim came down to crawl, tried changing settings/clearing rolling etc/nothing would affect this [image: 9b599774-66de-4dff-a7b5-0c1c7dfb1306.png] Suddenly I recalled posting here ages ago about some constant FPS loss when the wx radar is turned on...so I turned the radar off, eureka!! [image: 780602a3-06e4-4fee-9bf2-54b06b5c1642.png] Now during that flight I still saw gradual performance degradation and luckily another WX reset did the trick. I do however think that the radar range also affects the performance (usually using 120NM in cruise) so I've reduced it to 40NM and that seems to be stable till the end of the flight. Just wanted to share this in case you will encounter this, not sure if this is a bug that manifests only with the TBM850 or a global sim issue with the last beta. *( and didn't reported to MSFS yet.... sorry but I've lost my faith in their bug handling and lacking communication)

    @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!

    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.
