Caravan Professional

Nothing is wrong with your install. I experience the same when using the KLN90B autopilot. The display shows nothing, even though the autopilot appears to function, although with no annunciations. As soon as I hot-swap the KLN90B to, for example, the GNS530 suite, all of a sudden, all annunciations come back.

@asnamara Wonderful! I'm glad I could make the improvements you were looking for. I never promise that it's perfect, but with every piece of feedback, hopefully it gets a little better

Hey. Yeah, having the same issue. Can't read the labels in VR during daylight. And I am running a Meganex8K with a 4090, so there are a lot of pixels rendered, but this still isn't enough. Luckily there aren't that many switches, so I just memorized them. But I also have the problem with very bright sunlight making the gauges a bit dim. This seems to be a sim problem. Had that in other planes too. In MSFS 2020 you could mitigate that effect by turning on the gauge lighting, but in MSFS 2024 it doesn't work until it gets darker outside. Made a bug report about that ages ago, but didn't got enough votes to be looked at.

thx for confirming. BTW I am currently in Honduras on my way to Belize

The one on flightsim seems to have been taken down. A2a has one that came with the Aerostar but it doesn't seem to work any more either. I'm guessing Asobo broke it with SU4.

Thank you very much for your advice - greatly appreciated.

Is there any connection to the surface modeling from the simulator? I've found similar behavior with another popular 737 previously that once at a set taxi speed, it never changes. I see this as well with the Caravan. If I am in Beta at 15kts - It will tend to stay at 15kts. If BETA is ZERO thrust from the prop, I'd expect some friction and other forces to begin reducing the taxi speed where I will eventually need to pop out of beta to maintain forward speed.

@Black-Square the su5 beta also affected the Baron in VR in a similar way, click spots become very small and the tablet was unreachable. The releases notes did mention they were adjusting the interactions in VR so it wasn't a surprise to me. However it seemed to be fixed in the last update they pushed (within the last two weeks) - for me at least.

thanks. I finally solved it by using the same as I use for the FSR500. Button 24 on Bravo. Button Pressed Send THROTTLE1_DECR - event Delay execution for 200 ms (repeat 5 times) Button released Send THROTTLE1_cut - EVENT Works great in the Van !

@fosl yup, same, that's why it's weird

No I didn't know that, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

@SBS That's right. Also, if you bought the "Analog Caravan" before, there is a discount code found somewhere in your JustFlight account area for 10% off the bundle, or 20% off the individual packages (buying the individual packs will still be more expensive with the discount).

Hi there, I've since discovered that the effect can be modified by changing the entry in the aircraft.cfg file: effect.0 =Exhaust_1#(A:GENERAL ENG COMBUSTION:1, boolean)#FX_ASOBO_M_REACTORHEAT_CAP10 effect.1 =Exhaust_2#(A:GENERAL ENG COMBUSTION:1, boolean)#FX_ASOBO_M_REACTORHEAT_CAP10 For example you can change it into: effect.0 =Exhaust_1#(A:GENERAL ENG COMBUSTION:1, boolean)#FX_ASOBO_HEAT_BIG effect.1 =Exhaust_2#(A:GENERAL ENG COMBUSTION:1, boolean)#FX_ASOBO_HEAT_BIG While the intensity is now almost perfect for me, the exhaust stream is too far away from the exhaust pipe... Is there any way to move the stream closer to the pipe? Thanks in advance! Best regards

It would be great to have a single tablet solution. Perhaps the BlackSquare tablet features could be integrated into the MS tablet, similar to what Sky4Sim has done. The new SWS Kodiak, for example, already includes the MS tablet mounted on the yoke. Since the MS tablet supports Navigraph charts, SimBrief, and other plugins, having everything unified in one device would be extremely convenient. Just sharing my thoughts.

@Voice-of-Reason said in First impressions from a 1000+ hour Caravan driver.: @jmarkows Don't tempt him. Black Square NB-36H... Now that would be FUN. But Nick would probably swim the Atlantic just to clip me round the head for even suggesting it.

Please no. It might be funny for a short time but will become a anoyance on long flights. Or at least make it optional like in the LearJet 35a. You can turn it off within the tablet. I would turn it off immediately!
