    You will find the correct V-Speeds for the turbine variant in the "Aircraft Performance (B36TP Turboprop)" table of the manual in the "B36TP Turbine Conversion Supplement" section, around page 154. Which animation are you speaking of for the aileron trim, the knob in the cockpit, or the trim tab itself? The trim tab is servo (as opposed to anti-servo) to the best of my knowledge, so it should move in the opposite direction to the main control surface. In the cockpit, I have noticed what you might be talking about with the knob many times, but I have confirmed that it is a stroboscopic effect. The knob has just the right geometry and rotation speed to give the illusion of backwards motion. You're speaking of the operation of the GMA 340 audio panel? I haven't heard about any anomalies with this, and I've been using the same code for almost four years now. Perhaps I'm not understanding what you're describing, however. Feel free to elaborate. What kind of strobe effect are you speaking of with the propeller? From the cockpit, into the sun, away from the sun, the strobes or beacon reflecting off the propeller? In general, all I can say is that the number of propeller blades may have some role to play, but otherwise, the materials and methods are the same between the two.

    @django1489 Hello there. I've not had a reply yet on this. As soon as I get one and I can pass the information on, rest assured, Will. Sorry for the delay on this one.
  • ILS not captured

    I tried this too, doing a quick RNAV flight from KPAE to KBLI. On approach into KBLI runway 16, I'm able to capture the localizer using RNV/APR on the KNS-81, approach mode on the autopilot, and RNAV selected on the GPS-NAV control selector. But while the HSI displays glideslope indicators, the autopilot doesn't capture the GS. My assumption is that I'm doing something wrong, but I did notice one thing. According to a KNS-81 manual I found online, the unit should recognize an ILS frequency and display no radial or distance information. What happens instead is that I can input both radial and distance data for an ILS frequency. Maybe the unit isn't properly recognizing ILS approaches? Or maybe I'm setting it up wrong. I'm not sure.

    The short answer is that my Analog Baron does not possess the feathering physics of my Baron Professional, and the animation of the propeller blades is the default, since I used the default exterior model. However, you should be able to feather the propellers during in-flight engine shut-down procedures for at least the physical effect. The feather range of the propeller lever is actually negative (-25% minimum, I believe). I haven't tried this with MobiFlight myself, but I imagine that a negative value can be sent to PROP_PITCH1_SET. I haven't done any coding like this for hardware, but if you wanted to try, the required code for your setup would be... @ 203.4 - 21.74 * -4096 max 16383 min (>K:PROP_PITCH1_SET)

    Interesting. I had a vague recollection of this from many years ago, so this may have been in the code since the 90's. If you're working with any 3rd party binding software, I'm sure someone has coded a solution for this by now.

    I hope this will be made available for purchase. This would make for an awesome addon for the addon. A G3X mod would be a Day 1 pucrhase of the Bonanza PLUS the mod for me.

    Indeed, sounds like a fuel leak failure. Check the failures page of the tablet interface for "active failures", or click "reset all failures."

    I would absolutely love a helping hand from you on exploring code editing if you are willing to help further on this. Let me know if that process is better handled outside of this thread

    @Black-Square said in Duke not showing up in Marketplace on 2024?: @Data I'll check in on this. The last time all these marketplace packages were in my hands was September of last year, so I've been just as confused by these delays as you have... Thanks, that would be wonderful.

    Many thanks for the reply. Apologies, I should have included the fact I’m on Xbox. So no option to interact with all those lovely variables accessible to PC users. It varies between addons which status lights work on the Turtle Beach “SIP”. All lights work for many a/c. It’s a fantastic feature for those of us on Xbox, for instance when the landing gear is in motion the corresponding light illuminates yellow, turning green when down and locked. The Master Caution and warning lights always strike me as odd as not working in the Black Square modules. Although it’s all a black art to me - I’m sure there is a very sensible reason! I’ve played flight sims on PC for 20+ years, but am largely content on Xbox for a variety of reasons so really want to remain on the Wonder Box. It’s just a shame that some basic game features are only available via third party software. Another minor source of frustration is the lack of mappings to standard key binds in many cases. The altitude pre-selection in the Starship being a good example. Similarly in the JF146, there is no way for Xbox users to map the “arm altitude” button to a keyboard/controller button. Regards.

    @Joulz said in UNS-1: Database Expired: You keep saying that for 2 or 3 years... In the mean time,others devs such as inibuilds, pmdg or aerosoft implemented a way to update na data from inside the sim. So it shouldn't be too complicated. But apparently it's clearly not your priority, which is a little bit a shame for products of great quality that I otherwise appreciate. Just tired of hearing the same melody again and again... @Joulz said in UNS-1: Database Expired: You keep saying that for 2 or 3 years...

Honestly, there’s no point in having an FMS with outdated data. It feels like a promise that's never fulfilled. Imagine if the Fokker 100 is released the same way? I definitely won't be buying it.

    That's a surprisingly reasonable answer from ChatGPT. Thanks for sharing. While I don't know if its blanket statement about L:Vars is true, that would certainly explain the situation. Unfortunately without those L:Var driven animations, I wouldn't be able to implement 95% of the custom features my aircraft have. For instance, no wind force on the doors, or windows fluttering, or hydraulic landing gear, or wingflex, and the entire engine starting simulation. I feel bad that's the case with multiplayer, but if I couldn't override the default logic, then there would be no Black Square. I will explore this in greater detail before publishing my next round of updates, however.
