MSFS2024 compatibility?
-
@Avionic I'm not savvy on this, just thinking out loud. Do they not use a standard RPN library? If so, did the library update and change something? It seems strange unless they somehow manually coded their own RPN implementation that such a fundamental operation would change. Not doubting anyone here, just really trying to grasp how it would happen. Edit: From what I can tell, they do have their own implementation. Interestingly, RPN doesn't even seem to have a
flooroperation, the closest isnearwhich rounds up or down on either side of 0.5 to return an int. MS's own SDK showsdivreturning a rounded number though. What an annoying little bug to have to deal with. -
@SwissairMD11 These are all due to the integer division operator, believe it or not.
@LostPilot I actually doubt it's a standard library, or at least one anyone would recognize, because I believe the MSFS RPN implementation has been virtually unchanged since 1995. If I had to guess, I believe this change was probably the result of experiments with compiled RPN, which is a new option for developers seeking a little performance boost to their animation code. You can imagine how this might entail porting the RPN interpreter to a new language in the process. Hopefully you can all understand how this affects us developers, and why I'm not rushing to update my code in twelve aircraft across two simulators for such a fundamental oversight.

Very understandable. Having to update all of those uses of the operation when they'll likely fix it would be a waste of valuable time. Good luck!
-
@Black-Square I understand it's quite the job to change it. And am willing to pay for it. Not sure for others but I surely will if the time is very consuming. I love the dynamic engine parts of it so that is worth a lot in my books.

If the problem is with the host application and one of the libraries. I belive BKSQ probably has more interesting stuff to do (that we will enjoy more too), than spending a vast amount of resources on a workaround that may not be needed in a week or two.

@SwissairMD11 Asobo wrote on their developer forum less than 24 hours ago, that the bug has been logged and that a fix is being implemented. Let's hope the correction can make it in one of the first patches that are coming.
-
Doesn't look like it's made it into 1.1.10.0 :-(
-
@Black-Square seems like a big miss on Asobo's part!
-
The patch notes for the latest update (1.2.7.0) include
Fixed integers division in RPN expressions
So hopefully that will allow work to move forward

Update: When piston is removed from community folder then all liveries are shown for turbine duke.
I suggest that BSQ investgates a potential conflict when both versions are installed in community.
For the moment you can't have both aircrafts installed.One more thing. The engine sound is fading in and out or some kind of phasing during flight.
Sounds like if the pilot is moving around in the cabin.
