Caravan Professional

@Bigmarty I forgot to ask, will anything else pop out for you in the Cargomaster, for example the weather radar? Since you set up custom views and such for the Cargomaster, it may be worth double-checking that the window pop-outs are still bound on your keyboard profile (I think it's the NEW UI WINDOW MODE binding) in case the right ALT key was somehow unbound. And if maybe re-bind it temporarily to something else and try it, just in case. Did this coincide with the release of SU5? It reset several of my default bindings, deleted an entire profile for one of my planes, and in addition to that Chaseplane (which updated about the same time) created some mystery keybinds that messed me up. It's such a murky territory to get into when you're having random problems.

Thanks for looking into this more. With the knowledge that everything is working correctly in MSFS 2020 for you, I think it actually makes it less likely that this is an aircraft problem, as the code is identical between the two simulators. I assume you've checked the tablet's failure page for any active failures? It's perplexing for certain, and I'm sorry you're dealing with this. I've had no other reports of these issues (the panel lighting would be particularly obvious) from any other users, which further leads me to suspect a local problem. I can imagine how this could be caused by hardware/input binding issues, especially the deicing and lighting issues. Might I suggest contacting Just Flight Support? There's always a chance that they've seen something similar to this with any number of aircraft in MSFS 2024, and they have many more minds at work over there than just me alone. In the meantime, I will be here if you can send a video (even a good recording of your monitor with a phone would suffice). You would be surprised at what seemingly unrelated details I sometimes see in videos that ultimately lead to a solution.

Sorry about the late response. Been very busy. Anyway, I downloaded the most recent update to the caravan pro and was getting everything set up to send you a video of the problem and voila! A very pleasant surprise to see it start up without the ITT being pegged. I guess the new version update took care of the problem. Was very happy over that. Love both versions of the caravan. Thank you very much for your response to this problem. Never thought about the gas generator reaching maximum speed. I will see if I can bring up this problem by watching how I react to the gas generator speed. Thanks again. Great aircraft. Floats next!

Thanks for sharing your experience. This is not the first time that I have heard of the native weather radar causing performance issues after a long flight. It seems this only affects a small number of users, and we haven't been able to determine the cause, except that it has something to do with the native weather radar display. Troubleshooting has been slow going, since I've never been able to reproduce this on a computer that I have access to. We found some BIOS settings or graphics driver changes that may have made a difference in the past, but nothing was definitive. Unfortunately, without anything definitive, it's difficult for me to approach Asobo with something for them to look into. If you feel like you're seeing this very consistently, and you're willing to help, I might be able to devise some tests for you to run (editing the weather radar code), but I will warn you that a lot of good men have lost a lot of hours trying to track this one down. Thanks again, and I hope you are otherwise enjoying the aircraft! Let me know if there is ever anything I can do for you.

@Chotter Thanks for this but I am not a mobi expert and am rather lost on what to put where. I have used Mobi, but only with things from the HUB. Your code makes sense to me with what you are doing though. With that said: I think that first I create a new project: Create a new "Add Input Config": Choose Input: In the module, be lazy and scan for input, move a blue prop lever: After that I am at a loss where to go to input the actions you have mentioned. Hope you can drop a little more help.

@jmarkows Thanks so much, wasn't 100% sure that's what was meant... so I tried it last night, but didn't reload a flight to check. Appreciate your help.

Before agreeing, is the HOBBS unique to livery, if it is not I have see the same. back to 0.

Thank you all. You both nailed it. Changed fuel type to Jet-A (external TDS interface) [image: e424cccc-c1e2-4602-a7fa-eafbedf9a39b.png] Issue fixed [image: 5ccdc9ea-7cf9-4daf-9600-a042aece7912.png]

Finally problem solved, I contacted JustFlight support directly and the correct file was made available. They claimed that they sent the correct files to simMarket, in short it was a problem with the store's support, and only today (8) did they correct the problem by making the correct aircraft file available.

@Black-Square said in V1.2. update and fuel tank selectors: (A:TURB ENG TANK SELECTOR:1, Enum) 0 == (A:SIM ON GROUND, bool) ! and if{ 1 (>K:FUEL_SELECTOR_SET) (A:TURB ENG IGNITION SWITCH:1, bool) ! if{ (>K:TURBINE_IGNITION_SWITCH_TOGGLE) } } Thanks for the reply... but no, the starter still does not engage. I can flip the starter switch with the mouse, and that gets the engine going again.. After a couple of tests, I have found that this step is actually quite straight forward, and the engine responds quickly enough that I can avoid big trouble

The external pilot is still a "multiplayer - group flight" feature in SU5. I am guessing that this is not a priority bug, but I would like to see it addressed.

@jmarkows the L:var_WindShieldDeiceSwitch_IsDown is not available

Btw seems like my problem above is because MSFS is not showing the correct local time, trying to figure that out now. EDIT: local time was completely wonky and wrong (like 3 hours and 4 minutes from where it should be). Just in case anyone has the same problem and ends up here, with apologies that it's not relevant specifically to the caravan, the solution was to clear the rolling cache.

@Black-Square thank you for the quick response and clarification.

@Black-Square Yea no problem, your welcome, great work with v1.2 !

@Black-Square @BorisAudio Caravan v1.2 is awesome, thank you, love the sounds, way better than v1.1

Yes, there will be good to make it possible with lvars
