Caravan Professional

@qqwertzde said in state.cfg settings: the covers are now in place, but the chocks are still missing. This has been discussed numerous other times, unfortunately. The aircraft loading sequence in MSFS 2024 is terribly confused, with the aircraft being thrown up and down while the terrain is loading, while temperatures and wind are loaded from the camera position in low earth orbit. This means that aircraft is still moving so much when it's loaded that the chocks are automatically disengaged. I haven't found a fix for this yet, because I was hoping that Asobo would fix some of these significant regressions from MSFS 2020, but it seems like that's becoming very unlikely.

Just wanted to let you guys know that I was working on this last night. Here is the post from another thread: I think I was able to arrive at the optimal solution with only some small edits to the code. I also improved some other small things in the KAP140 while I was there. The only thing I'm not sure about relates to the behavior of the real world unit. If you engage the autopilot when you are already within 200ft of your selected altitude, the vertical speed will be zero, and it will capture the selected altitude. All things considered, this is a very small tradeoff in my eyes, compared to what is sometimes required to circumvent the native autopilot. It's always amazing when you implement some of these small things, and you can immediately feel how much more intuitive they are. Thanks, guys! An addendum for this thread: The capability to display "PIT" mode still resides in the KAP 140, but you should not see it during normal operation. I've left it there more as a debugging tool, since errant autopilot modes are my best tool for diagnosing GPS addon issues.

@Ratman This turned out to be a little more work than I was expecting, but I've fixed it, and improved the climate control system after a consult with one of my Caravan pilots too. As usual, thanks for the little nudge in the right direction to improve my aircraft

Ah, thanks for letting me know. There is a flag I remember somewhere like, "DO_NOT_APPEND_UNIT_ID", which might be responsible. I'll double check later.

@Black-Square said in Avionics selection, can it be made sticky?: This is just related to the currently bugged state saving, I believe. There are ways to set it permanently, if you really want, and I can figure out a solution for you. You can scratch this off your to-do list.. I did not realize that I had to select this for each variant separately.. Seems to be working now!

@Black-Square I really appreciate and thank you for working on making the lighting effects stronger, more intense, and visually more impressive—especially ensuring they are clearly visible even in daylight. For a professional aircraft, it is very important that the various visual effects are also high-quality and eye-catching, as this further enhances the overall experience. There is definitely a need and demand for this from the user community.

Clearly, you have a keen eye for such things Thank you. All fixed. I've never seen a porp in an airplane, and I hope I never do

I agree. I’d rather have less Reverse Range- irl you also need to pull up a lock before engaging Beta, whereas Beta to reverse is only a spring

Easy fix! Thank you.

I hope for our repaint artists to make a black letter option Weird design decision by cessna.

@ploodovic said in Default ADF can't handle decimals: secondary click the power knob I am a fool and you are a scholar and a gentleman. Thank you.

Nick, to say this thing was worth the wait is an understatement. I found myself grinning just from the first walk around and cockpit/interior inspection. The attention to detail you put into these products is outstanding.

Thanks!!

@Outermarker said in Transition to Beta: Even though in the release version the physical prop lever no longer visibly moves, I assume that’s still what’s happening under the hood: the prop is going fully into feather. Not the case, but I'm working on it
