    @Black-Square The Steam Gauge Overhaul - Analog Caravan autopilot was working before the SU15 update. I had followed the instructions:

    @SebAvi Yep that's the current plan.

    That's exactly correct. The yellow band would allow you to fly the aircraft faster in smooth air, but in a turboprop aircraft, there is no such band, meaning that VNO and VNE are the same speed. Unfortunately, I have been unable to locate the logic behind this regulatory decision, but there are several accident reports of structural failure in turboprop conversions flown beyond VNO in turbulent conditions.

    @Black-Square Many thanks - I'll give this a try once I've got the livery textures done! BTW: I just watched your Starship trailer - amazing! 🤩

    Again, I'm not an expert, and I might be wrong about this, but I think you are approaching this in an overly difficult way. That's not a criticism (I seem to approach everything in my life from a difficult angle too), but there are numerous applications that should allow for very easy L:Var manipulation. I'm sure FSUIPC can do it too, but I'm not sure that it requires register manipulation.

    The B:Var is the new MSFS interaction system, which can be very useful, but it's also incredible abstract and convoluted for developers to set up, so it tends to be underutilized. Not all 3rd part applications have access to B:Vars, so I would try to avoid them wherever possible.

    That's correct. Here's a snipped from my manual with an interesting tidbit:

    Unlike the reciprocating engine version of this aircraft, the combustion heater does not provide
    any heating to the aircraft, and will never be activated by the temperature controller. The heater
    has been disabled, because it is not certified for use with jet aircraft fuels, as opposed to
    aviation fuels. All heating in the aircraft is accomplished via the P3 engine bleed air.

    You just need to:

    Create directory "Microsoft Flight Simulator" inside directory "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming"

    Copy file "UserCfg.opt" from "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache" into newly created directory above (1.)

    That's it - then you can run installer and after install you can remove directory from 1.

    I neglected to check the failures tab. The left magneto had failed on and the right magneto failed off.

    I have been unable to conduct a full test flight as i have been having issues with my internet..

    I was in contact with JF support, and it seems they dont know what the issue could be either and i havent heard back from them in 2 days.

    I do believe it is a GPS issue. Perhaps an outdated GPS?

    Just resurrecting this old post. As far as I can see there's still no paintkit - is that correct? Any chance Black Square could release one please? I can make do with the plain white aircraft but a paintkit would be easier, to separate out dirt layers and other details (if one exists!)

    Just experienced this myself. I was definitely not parked on a parking spot. I agree with @seipp that the restriction should only be chocks or brakes, to accommodate airports with crap parking design.

    @Noob21 My father purchased the second Piper Navajo Chieftain off the production line (saved from the Lock Haven flood by being in the paint shop). In its first year had de ice boots, radar, and King KN74 RNAV installed. This was 1973. I remember watching the numbers roll up or down when he would change waypoints.
