@django1489 i can think of quite a few bugs in nature I'd squash...

@Black-Square said in Pilot and Copilot avatars: Just to clarify, all of my aircraft released for MSFS 2024 are "real native package[s]". As I have explained several times in the past, the modular aircraft file structure is entirely optional, and does not limit the available features or compatibility of the aircraft in any way. Asobo says this in almost those exact words within their documentation. As far as my aircraft are concerned, the modular file structure is a further abstraction from which they do not particularly benefit. As I understand it, large airliners benefit the most, and also other workflows for modeling aircraft, which I do not personally use. Though you are in general right as the native definition by Asobo is quite wide and not very precise, you can actually group them into some native levels. And yes your packages are native packages and I didn't deny that. But the level of native package you have selected for your projects comes with some disadvantages for the customers. Most of us will fly different liveries for VAs or even download the already very nice released ones from your house painter Ryan and Tim for example. And with your products (or every other product using this level of native like the JF ones) all these additional liveries are actually not liveries but variants of the aircraft. For each of these you have then to select and assign your control profiles again cause the sim thinks its a new aircraft variant. Minor annoyance for sure

@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 🥳

@scoobyx Thanks for lending a hand. I know just recording a simple video can be a pain if you're not used to doing it. I record all my own videos for the Just Flight YouTube channel, and I still hardly know what to do if someone asked me for a video.

@Black-Square All good haha

FYI - I'm using the PMS GTN

BlueBear has released several mods on flightsim.to that add passengers to the BlackSquare Professional aircraft (FS2024). A similar mod for the Caravan is expected soon. It’s worth keeping an eye on the BlueBear profile so you don’t miss the release: https://flightsim.to/profile/Bluebear

@czcorkery Hi, if you select the custom install option when running the installer, you can install the aircraft outside of the sim and bypass the long path issue

Hi Rich, thank you for your fast replies. I have sent the e-mail with the request.

@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]

From memory right now, I think you're right about the visualizer being reversed. I will check operation for v1.1.

@Black-Square said in Bankrupt: The KAP 140 does not support a flight director, but since I've been seeing many people ask about it, I might add one that is optionally toggleable on the tablet. That way I hopefully won't get too many complaints about it being unrealistic in the other direction. I'm glad you're enjoying it Hi Nick, congratulations on the 208. I fly with a KAP140 IRL and it's fine when you get used to it. The only thing I'm seeing in the sim that differs is when you engage the autopilot IRL it engages 'rol' and 'vs' mode (at whatever the vs was when engaged). As I understand it the KAP 140 is rate based and does not have a 'pitch' function. I hope that's of some use. Cheers

There are two things happening when you pull that lever, to the best of my understanding, and only one is depicted on the tablet for the sake of simplicity. One is the P2.5 influence that we discussed above, but the other is the elimination of cabin return mixing air, which cools the P3 air. That's why the lever should not be used in flight, as this would overheat the ducts. That's my understanding of the system, at least.

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

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.

Just dropping a comment in here to keep abreast of paint kit developments. The Caravan is one of the most frequent flown aircraft in VA I'm one of the painters for (Airwego) - so, very excited to bring it to the fleet.

@Black-Square @vortac12 What does the trick for me (in the Starship) is once I am "done" with my flight, I press esc -> Restart flight. That will put you in your departure airport. Then its a matter of just quitting the simulator as normal.

Great. That's the standard path for the Custom option from the installer

Yeah - I agree with the sudden onset of Beta. Also, the initial Beta sound, although really good, is really loud. Cheers.

Not urgent, but yes, a permanent setting option would be welcome..
