    I don't think the Commander will make it into this weeks releases. The 2024 version is ready to go, but the 2020 version isn't available for testing/approval yet. I'm pretty confident about a release next week though.

    I forget what the cause was, but I have fixed the inertial separator handle not animating with the variable for the next update. The water rudder handle should work as-is, however. I made some significant changes to the water rudder behavior in v1.2, so please be sure you have the latest version. Do you have hardware bound to the water rudder perhaps? If none of that works, feel free to send me some more information or screenshots, and we can investigate further.

    It truly is weird, it looks like it doesn't happen every time, or at least I don't always notice it, but when this happens, there usually isn't much noise since the plane is in cold and dark, so it's easy to spot.

    The generator reset buttons are used to reset faults that may cause the generators to trip offline, which in this aircraft are overcurrent and overvoltage failures (MTBF via the tablet). After those failures are corrected, it may be necessary to press the reset button to bring the generators back online. The go-around button behaves the same as any other light aircraft, raising the flight director to 8° nose-up and wings-level when activated. The exact behavior of the go-around button will depend on what avionics configuration you are using, however. Let me know if you have any other questions! Always happy to help.

    @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

    Thanks for your quick reply! So I get this right, that the values from the manual represent the real aircraft and are simply not achievable in the sim due to the "thick air" it simulates at low altitudes?

    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.

    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 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.
