Caravan Professional

@Wothan Sorry, I thought I replied to this, but it must have been in another thread. I've seen very sparse reports of this affecting some of my other aircraft, and other aircraft from other developers, so I'm inclined to believe this is a simulator problem, and not a problem with one of my aircraft. Someone suggested that it might be due to the length of the aircraft name, which I think is plausible. I am aware of several other internal, undocumented character limits in MSFS 2020, even ones that were reduced from 2020 to 2024. What I will do is make a thread about this on our developer forum and see if I can get a response from Asobo. Very sorry you're dealing with this in the meantime, and sorry I thought I had already responded here.

Thanks for your help guys. I got it.

@jmarkows It makes sense, but it still creates a bit of a conflict with the click spot used to open the cargo pod door.

@Black-Square Is it possible to implement this restriction in the next update? I assume it would work similarly to the door logic, where it won’t close if the stairs are deployed.

@Black-Square got it! Thanks!

@Black-Square That worked perfectly. Thanks a lot for taking the time to explain it!

@miller39687 Excellent! Glad my guess was at least somewhat accurate. If it's anything less than obvious, please let us know in case someone googles the same question in the future. One of the reasons I like this forum so much is that it appears very high in the Google search results, which hopefully makes solving problems easy for my users.

That was it. It never occurred to me to look in that section of the tablet. And there it was COVERED. Had to start the aircraft up many times to check it out after removing the covers. Thanks to whoever posted that.

Usually in BlackSquare products the GA button functionality depends on what GNS unit you have installed (and thus which autopilot is working under the hood), but in the case of the Caravan, there's no flight director, so GA mode doesn't do anything.

@Bigmarty Thank you so much for replying with your solution! I was unaware of this mapping, so I might be able to help users in the future who encounter this issue. Thank you!

@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.

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.

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.
