@Chotter That setup worked perfectly for me, thank you! I’ve never messed around with the neutral settings before, will have to look at this for my other turboprop throttle settings.

After doing some test flight with the v1.1.4 F16 I must say it feels perfect. Just wish I had the ability when I add weapons to it, they show on the Airshow Assistant wingmen. Again, whatever the process was on v1.1.1, please bring that back. Everything else from seat position in VR to flight model feel can stay. v1.1.4 is a Great update overall for the F16.

@Black-Square I conducted two tests regarding the glass effect on the cockpit instruments. The first test was performed on the Piper aircraft (Carenado Piper). In this case, I examined the glass effect, reflections, and overall reflectivity of the instruments. As shown in the video, regardless of the viewing angle, the glass effect remains consistently visible on the instrument panel. It appears properly implemented and visually convincing, independent of camera angle or movement. Carenado Piper glass effect In the second test, I examined the instrument glass effect on the Black Square Caravan Professional. Here, it is clear that there is effectively no visible glass effect on the instruments, even when viewed up close, as demonstrated in the video. However, an interesting behavior can be observed: when rotating the camera to extreme side angles and scanning across the panel, a brief glass reflection appears at certain angles. This effect disappears immediately as soon as the camera is moved.It is also important to note that these extreme side viewing angles are not representative of normal cockpit usage, as instruments are never observed from such positions in practice. Black Square Caravan Professional glass effest In conclusion, I would like to highlight that the Carenado Piper aircraft serves as a working example where the glass effect is consistently present and properly implemented. This clearly demonstrates that the feature is achievable. Therefore, I would kindly ask the developer of the Caravan Professional to address this issue and improve the glass effect so that it becomes consistently visible and visually convincing on the instruments.

@Black-Square is it really only with Starship? I thought it would have been being rolled out to the rest of the fleet by now. Not having the workaround is less of an issue for most starting spots, but drastically limits your options for doing multi leg flights without going back to the menu.

@Black-Square Your responses and activity in this forum (and elsewhere, I'm sure), along with the quality of your products are of the highest calibre, sir. Your workloads must be high so I appreciate you having such an active and involved presence amongst the community who are using your aircraft. Keep doing what you're doing - arguably one of the best developers creating some of the best aircraft on the platform and easily the best customer interaction of all that I have seen to date.

@Rivet Thank you for this very nice note. It's always a pleasure to hear how my users are enjoying the aircraft, and that I can bring a little enjoyment to someone's life with my software. Have fun, and let me know if there is ever anything else I can do for you!

@louise No problem. That's what I'm here for! Glad you're enjoying it.

Technically speaking, the current glareshield is "4K", and occupies the same amount of UV space to my other aircraft, but I know what you're talking about. I did struggle with this, because the glareshield in most Caravans is just a very utilitarian plastic piece, which does not lend itself to very "exciting" materials in MSFS. What I've done is add a tiling normal map (which you seem to enjoy on the cabin plastic), and changed the scratched texture overlay on the material, and biased this towards the front where it would be getting the most abuse. It's still not terribly exciting, but to @Bert Pieke 's point, a glareshield shouldn't be distracting either. Let me know what you think. [image: 68098066-ec36-482d-8b3f-715036c385e0.jpg]

Sorry to hear it does not reliable work for you. For me it does beside the missing animation. Hope you will finde a way to get this working. But my knowledge is not deep enough to trouble shoot. Sorry.

Did you try cycling the avionics selection away from the KLN, and then back to the KLN? I've found that can happen sometimes on rare occasion.

I've been trying to reproduce this for a while now, and then I had a realization. I was surprised to hear this, since it's the same basic battery temperature code I've been using in all my aircraft. I couldn't reproduce this with a 50% drained battery, 140°F ambient temperatures, and maximum electrical load in the aircraft. Then I remembered a problem I hadn't seen since my Analog King Air. MSFS erroneously connects the generator output to the propeller speed, instead of the gas generator in free turbine aircraft. Apparently my last minute beta range changes before release dropped the RPM just low enough in beta that the generator doesn't output sufficient power, and the battery is taking all the load. This problem will go away as a result of my beta range fixes in v1.1, but in the meantime, the fundamental problem is low propeller RPM. If you just keep the power lever at the flight idle detent when you don't need beta for taxiing, the battery will recharge and cool down. Feel free to pass this along to the Official Forums. We're planning on getting v1.1 out this week, as soon as Boris and Just Flight are back from FSWeekend. Sorry for the delay!

@batez No worries

Thanks for posting your feedback. I hope you're otherwise enjoying the aircraft! Indeed, we have already solved the pitot heat mystery in another thread. It was a single character error. You're absolutely right with your next point. MSFS doesn't register any battery voltage unless the battery is actually in use, so I just needed a little workaround to get the hot battery bus to behave correctly. That will be in the first update. Oh, I see what you mean. You're talking about the rounded, red rectangle behind the switches. That's meant to indicate a guarded or emergency switch, not to indicate the switch state (that's what the 2D switch animation is for). Since that's how they appear in all my other aircraft, I'm inclined to leave them as-is so my iconography is consistent. I can't reproduce the next one, unfortunately. The avionics bus tie and avionics bus #2 seem to be behaving correctly for me. As someone said on the Official Forums, I don't tend to supply different units for my manuals, since they are almost exclusively presented in imperial units by the manufacturers. I've had lots of requests for many different units and conversions in the past, but unfortunately, I am just one man, so I tend to spend my time working on the core features of the aircraft instead. I hope you understand. Let me know if you have any other questions or thoughts! You know where to find me.

@pequenyo Since I already have my own damage simulation, ideally I would like Asobo's to be completely inert. However, since it's quite confusing that "Aircraft Stress Damage" damages the engine, and not "Engine Stress Damage", I have just fixed the metric that was causing the issue so that the Asobo system will only receive damage long after the limits are exceeded. I still highly recommend disabling "Aircraft Stress Damage" when flying with all of my aircraft; however, since I hate to see anyone's flight ended prematurely by an errant click on the pilot's storm window. Thank you again so much for your helping tracking this one down! I was really losing sleep over it!

Wonderful! Thank you for putting this together. As I said elsewhere earlier, "anyone who labors to improve the experience of our fellow Black Square pilots deserves a heartfelt thank-you"

I asked the PMS50 GTN developer, and I tested some other avionics. It appears this just isn't a commonly supported feature amongst 3rd party GPS units. Kind of a shame, since my Commander 114 will use a similar method with a different autopilot. I suppose I could make the autopilot Altimeter #1, but I'm worried about that causing some undocumented weirdness, like in the HUD, or with ATC, or who knows what else. I figure we could get a solution for this from PMS and TDS pretty easily, but WT's deployment cycle would probably take until a convenient Sim Update.

The engine performance will only begin to degrade when the condition is very low; however you could still run the engine hot to degrade the condition quickly (or set it in developer mode). For everything else in the aircraft, increasing the global failure rate slider can yield a catastrophically unreliable aircraft for great entertainment value.

@MiRexer If you do get in touch, please invite him to contact me here or through the Just Flight Support team. If Asobo continues to deny our requests on the developer forums, a well supported community mod might be one way forward. Anyone who has labored to improve the experience of our fellow Black Square pilots deserves a heartfelt thank-you, if nothing else!
