    I'll let it go then. I'll stick with the default sounds while waiting for the update. Thanks!

  • GNS530 startup bug + Autopilot indicator lights

    So I did some experimenting, since the AP shows all the lights in 2024 (just copied and pasted the files). I removed the pms50-instrument-gtn750 folder from Community (I don't use the 750, but the Duke's GPS won't autofill the flight plan without it.) Once I removed that folder, and tested the autopilot, I got at least the HDG light. Going to try a flight later and see if I get all the lights, but looks like the PMS conflicts with the GPS in the TBM (how's that for a slew of TLA's?)

    Edit: Removing the PMS package fixed the problem for me. All the lights worked, and I don't need the PMS in the TBM for the flightplan. Now I just have to remember to put it back when I fly the Duke.

    I'm getting this error as well: "Black square's WeatherSquare 4000 Package not found. You should not be seeing this message." It's quickly flashing on the screen. I restarted the flight and it went away, but have seen it more than once. Any idea of what addon is to blame? I have a ton of stuff in my Community folder.

    Late to the party, i had a similar problem.
    In my case i had to disable some additional WTT compatability mod, that was needed previously.

    @Black-Square or you could add the clipboard on the yoke, exactly like the BAe146 has. That one can even be modified to hold one's personal PNG images.

    the BAe146 has such a very efficient option, you can even add your own PNG files

    @Black-Square That is so strange! Ok, I'm glad it's not just me then. Seems like it was just a MTBF situation and likely not ice, given the conditions.

    I've been thinking about this; Nick, are you aware of this? Granted, I'm no expert, but I don't believe I have seen this in other planes.

    It's not a turboprop (maybe that's the issue, I know MSFS isn't great at those), but I adjust RPM in the DC-6 constantly, and I'm always getting the speeds given in the power charts, but I am adjusting both speed and power, unlike the TBM where the TQ increases as I reduce RPM.

    I haven't flown the Arrows in too long to comment on how the constant speed prop works there.

    Thanks!
    Apparently selecting the KX155B for both left and right gives the configuration without any GPS navigation. Did not expect that.

    I just tried it loading a plan into the world map first. Showed up in the GNS, did not affect the ETM functionality.

    Oh indeed brilliantly simulated! The co-pilots AI is indeed vacuum controlled as in the manual and it's the pilots reserve A(D)I that is controlled by the ADI 2 switch (so it is electric) but you only notice this at start-up if it is not spinning yet but then switching it off at first does not seem to do anything as it is still spinning. Nice!

    Glad you were able to catch it! I wanted to be as rare and special as it is in real aircraft (it's one of the only items on my aviation bucket list), but sometimes I worry that I made it too rare to be enjoyed in a flight simulator. If you do get a good video, be sure to share it with the community, since I don't think many people have seen it!

  • Question about aileron trim Settings

    The left rolling tendency you are getting under full power in a climb and with the ailerons neutral is due to engine torque. Having to correct with right aileron is normal. You should notice that after you reduce power and level out in cruise that the decrease in AOA and power will allow for a close to neutral aileron input for level flight.

    I've seen that the KNS81 now triggers new arm-modes on the autopilot, could it be that changing the source on the HSI should do the same? If so, one would be free to go to other NAV-modes on the HSI, to prepare course etc., without disengaging the current AP NAV mode.

    It would make sense if it's how it works in the real aircraft? But I'm just guessing...

    @Raller Once I found your livery, I stopped looking and haven't used anything else. It's gorgeous, and nice to know you spend the time and effort to be sure it's up to date.
