    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.

    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.

  • 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!!!
