Caravan Professional

Are you familiar with the KAP 140's adjustable barometer setting? Unfortunately, I think there is actually a bug with that right now, but I will fix it very soon with v1.1.

Hmmm, better read the manual... Why HDG mode worked differently than NAV mode is still not clear to me..

Thanks got it.

I agree some more steering realism would be great. Also a realistic parking brake. As far as I remember those aren’t part of any Black Square aircraft for convenience of less-skilled users.

@RPGamerous Yes! - that helped, reinstalling it again seemed to have installed all version correctly. It also did not install the super cargo master version either which now installed. [image: 14f1bc36-083d-4811-8428-779c8d41bbe3.png]

Greetings from KPDX cargo platform ! @Black-Square What an elegant addon you’ve created! Although I've been studying the manual and the POH over the last few weeks, I’m going to need more time to process everything. During the last hour, I've been playing with the breakers, checking their effects on the schematic pages. The tablet is incredible. What a sleek design! In the next couple of hours, I'm going to assign levers, buttons, etc... but I can’t wait to replicate the first Empire Airliners flight I find on Flightaware :). Such an elegant addon! I really hope for great success with the release because it definitely deserves it.

@Derek Oh thanks, good to know!

@Black-Square just a quick thank you! My first flight completed around South East England. The Caravan feels alive and so authentic. Your work is exceptional and your talent grows with every release. The best birthday present 🥳

@hangar_101 said in Checklist Preview: @pbrad74 yes, an extra button on the airport info would be great [image: 6c35748b-a4a3-4d90-8b15-b6dc6850f7d1.png] I understand what you mean now. I have just updated the Caravan checklist that will include the button/link for AISWEB. Please give me some time to update the other checklists as well. Also, I didn't mean to hijack this forum with my product so let's communicate through flgihtsim.to messaging instead. Thank you!

@Chotter said in Aircraft age: Neither the best movie nor the best RPG could offer such a level of immersion. Now you're speaking my language! While there are many users who tell me they couldn't care less about the failure features in an aircraft, they have provided me with some of my most memorable simulator experiences. Even a simple item, like the "Cabin Door" annunciator lighting up on short final in IMC, as if just to spook you, is such a delight to me. While I have received your comments about aerodynamics and engine performance, I would still encourage you not to overlook the failure rate slider as your source of enjoyment for the Caravan. I very much understand your point, but at least in my estimation, a propeller governor failure or fuel control failure would be a much more entertaining and challenging experience than an engine routinely running a few degrees hotter due to its imagined age. Just my opinion, however!

@Black-Square 2-4 months! Might as well spend more to buy that time then. I think its a better way to support the dev as well but obviously the surplus conversion rates are going to govt. Nevertheless, 2-4 months is quite substantial

@django1489 Good try but nothing of the sort I'm afraid.

Great! Not problem at all. Despite being really excited with this addon, I’m not one of those toxic fanboys who get upset when their hyped expectations aren't met. I fully understand how challenging it is to produce an addon like this, especially with such a high level of detail. So whatever you can provide will be more than I ever dream. That said, I think I’ll continue having plenty of questions for you! Again, I hope it’s not too much of a hassle. Regards!

Another confirmation that you were right about the battery recharge. I just checked the checklist from the POH revision 2007 (not the G1000 version), and it states that once the engine is running: "Generator - CHECK GENERATOR OFF annunciator OFF and battery charging." Great job! I love that we're aiming for this level of realism I do miss the point in the checklist regarding the inertial separator test during before TO checks. In addition to confirming the increase in ITT (as in our checklist appears), we should also check for a torque increase. This same POH states: "IInertial Separator - CHECK. Turn control counterclockwise, pull to BYPASS position and check torque drop; move control back to NORMAL position and check that original torque is regained." I'm sure this behavior will be simulated, but I wanted to put it out there in case anyone wants to add it to their checklist/flow. Regards

@Black-Square yes thats very understandable. Any hints on release Nick? Thanks

@Black-Square said in Calibrated Airspeed Improvements: the difference was definitely noticeable, but probably only if you knew what you were looking for. Sure don't, but looking forward to learning
