Caravan Professional

I've figured out where things went wrong. I used the Contrail store to check the version installed, and that indicated wrong. So now I have the latest version installed. I checked the changelogs of the last 2 versions, and indeed all these issues I have were actually incorrect and fixed in those later versions which I did not have. So when I reinstalled suddenly the plane behaved differently than I remembered, simply because I had an outdated version before I was used to. Mods feel free to remove or close this topic if necessary.

@Sunshine_db Yay! Glad I could help, and glad you were able to figure out the last bit on your own too! Indeed, I can't imagine doing those myself without the help of the debugger. Good luck, and you know where to find me if you need anything else

@Black-Square is the update coming soon?

Nope! You're the first one to notice! All fixed, thanks. Thank you for telling me now, instead of the day after I release a Caravan update, haha.

I’m interested as well

@Canit said in Missing glass on instruments: resulting in the reflections to be low quality or pixelated This is one of the problems. Asobo added some different cockpit panoramas for us to choose from in MSFS 2024, but none of them are good options, in my opinion, and they seem to be about a quarter of the resolution of the MSFS 2020 one. They also changed something about the glass material that makes surface imperfections almost inseparable from the panorama reflections. Honestly (and this is exclusively a Nick opinion), I think they look horrible in MSFS 2024, but I will always do my best to make everyone happy. I'm tweaking every parameter and choosing different panoramas on a per-aircraft basis to get the best results. It seems that I've won over some of the anti-reflection crowd with the 114, and it's acceptable to me, so I think that's what I will try to do for the rest. Thank you all for your opinions.

@Black-Square said in State Saving: This has come up more recently, as it seems that state saving has never been the same since SU4, and it was never particularly reliable to begin with. There are some workarounds that you can read about, and possible causes. Particularly, restarting the flight before quitting to desktop, and disabling anti-virus seems to be the most commonly cited solutions. I've become increasing frustrated with this myself, which is why I have recently invested my time in creating a whole new full state saving feature, which will hopefully provide better consistency, and save nearly every variable in the aircraft. You can read about it here, if you like. Is this new system coming to the previous aircraft, from the Bonanza Professional and upwards, among the other improvements? If yes, do you have a rough time schedule for patches to come? (i.e. before the end of summer...)

My Hobbs meter is reset back to 12ish every time I fly. I am using the same livery every time. I read in a different topic that it might have something to do with the way Asobo calculates it. @Black-Square With the advanced state saving added in the Commander, do you think it would be possible to backport that to the hobbs meter in the Caravan?

@s.mellah Did you press "Load aircraft" in the msfs efb after adding the passenger weights? I forgot this the first time and only saw the copilot, but when trying again now and pressing load aircraft and confirming, I had visible passengers too.

Solved! I had to unistall it and reinstall it in a custom folder and then move it to the Community. The installer put everything in a JustFlight folder that my fs2024 does not recognize in the game. @Black-Square [image: e6c0ced4-b49c-402f-b328-7ca4d92b62d6.png]

Update - Just went through everything again, made sure my physical default control positions matched the proper pt6 “just started” state and everything worked as expected, no abnormal issues. I restarted everything and went through it a few more times and everything worked correctly. For now the problem now seems resolved for me.

Soooooo….. nothing yet ?

Thanks, I finally later found the solution by using simconnect flaps_incr but I have to add 16384 in the parameter field. I don't know why! [image: 4309032e-3be2-4e58-8706-d384da46b97a.png]

@Black-Square Thank you for looking into this. I have not contacted JF Support yet. I will first try what you advised for the 530/430 and wait longer, maybe I wasn't patient enough. The 750/650 will be the next step. The rest of the avionics are absolutely working perfectly. I also enjoy RNAV now, certainly with the Caravan. Cheers.

I just sent another request to bother Asobo about this again... I'll see if we can get any traction this time.

So...problem solved. I made finally my mission flight with the airfram stress unchecked. But I think the problem must be solved anyway for future updates! Thanks for cooperation

This came up a couple weeks ago. I don't know what you're seeing at the beginning, but the inertial separator state was missing from the ITT calculations. I've fixed this now for the next update. Thanks for posting!

Thanks, that makes sense. I'd only seen the default Caravan at 65 and assumed a sim update had changed it. Appreciate the explanation.

Cool, thanks!
