@RPGamerous said in Avidyne IFD 550/540 in Black Square addons: "The entire JS engine isn't designed to just be reloaded at random during flights. So even third party instruments should not be trying to implement a hot swap feature." I'm going to tread very lightly here, because I am not an expert in how all these avionics work, but I have created my own hot-swapping features for my RNAV computers and Starship, and it did not require rebooting the entire JS engine. As far as I'm concerned, the only "hot-swapping" features that are necessary are: 1. Stop writing to output SimVars, such as AP variables, CDI, GPS data, etc., and 2. Minimize code execution and memory usage. As far as I can tell, this is what third party avionics do, and as long as we respect each other's "locks" on GPS OVERRIDDEN, and AVIONICS MANAGED, it all seems to work swimmingly. HOWEVER: I'm sure I'm oversimplifying based on my own avionics, which don't have to support nearly the number of features or target platforms that Working Title's do, so please do no misinterpret my commentary to be anything more than my own observations. I understand the pain of MSFS development intimately, so I respect whatever challenges WT faces, and whatever decisions they have arrived at, no doubt with much contemplation. I suspect the rub might be with their internal autopilot implementation, since it's one of the things that sets them apart from these other 3rd party avionics developers, but don't quote me on that.

Possibly so. But can you imagine the fun they would have with liveries? For me, I never see what happens behind my head, though if you could drop things from that door it might be fun. I would start with any animated passengers:-)

Trust me, you succeed every time. You bring the real World into the digital one.

@Bigmarty And thank you for letting us know! I'm always happy when someone posts their solutions, because this forum ranks very highly in Google search results. Hopefully that helps someone in the future with the same problem. Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you!

Hi all. Has the JF team figured out anything for Xbox users who are still stuck with a 2024 database on the UNS-1? Will there ever be a way to update it? It's honestly not okay that this is still an issue. Alan / From Brazil

The next update needs to be really, really good. I'm also very disappointed with this add-on.

Thanks for your reply, and thanks for the great addons! I am on 2020 and the TBM has never remembered the fuel load between sessions. It does remember the payload, but never the fuel. I believe it works correctly on the Duke, but I am not sure at the moment. As for the prop deice, I was in fact using the default toggle event through SPAD.Next, but the switch wasn't animated. However I just noticed the B even B:DEICE_Propeller_1 and setting it to 1 or 0 seems to work: I get both the green light and the animation. The Toggle event was only giving me the light, no switch animation. I'll experiment with the _IsDown addition to LVARS. The Annunciator TEST and the gear down test have neither sound, nor animation, whereas the deice light test, ECS fault light test and the ITT test work correctly. Cheers!

@Black-Square The Albatross has several variants, a G1000, an analog, and now a G3X variant.

@Putannna said in MSFS 2020 & 2024 Needs a Super VC 10: maybe together we can get their attention! You've already got our attention - see my replies above. However, just for the record, here are the main discussion points on Project VC10 for MSFS2024: Pros There is a real one at Cosford that can be accessed by developers Just Flight has prior knowledge and data on many of the more complex systems in this arcraft which could serve to shorten the development time. Just Flight has previously done Jetliner and Pro versions of this aircraft series for FSX, P3D and X-Plane. Cons Producing a sound set to take advantage of current game technology might be a problem Very limited appeal outside the UK. To maintain our quality reputation - as per the 146, Vulcan, RJ, F28 etc - it would need to be built from scratch. Even with our experience on previous versions, this is a 2-3 year project with a very significant development bill. Commercially, based on our experience with VC10 Jetliner and VC10 Professional for FSX, P3D and X-Plane, the meagre sales returns would never be enough to warrant the cost and time involved. Here at Just Flight we have a huge amount of enthusiasm for older aircraft and we would jump at the chance of doing another VC10. However, we also need to accept that we are not working for a lifestyle/hobby business or a freeware co-op and we do have to consider the ROI of every project we undertake. We're currently working on our Tornado and we also have plans for another British classic (subject to a successful ROI discussion) but, as far as the VC10 goes, we are unlikely to ever revisit that one. One thing to add - if any other developer fancied doing a VC10 for MSFS2024 we would always be open to licensing our source code at reasonable cost. Please form an orderly queue....

@jmarkows It seems to work with windowed mode but then I get the ugly white border around my whole screen, but then I get the ugly white border at the top.

I've not heard anything about a TBM sound update other than both parties are interested but Nick has Boris booked clean into 2040* for other projects. *Some user speculation may have been used in this estimate

@SadBucket I'm positive he will. Very much looking forward to the updates.

This sounds like something Just Flight Support should be able to assist with: Link

@alanfernandes this question is not specifically related to the Baron Professional, but rather to the general operation of the GNS430/530 GPS units. You may find a good tutorial in the following video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0dqGVgQlsM

I succeeded too but I had to search, because there's plenty of malware/false download links...

@slipperfruit I can confirm as mentioned in this topic: https://community.justflight.com/topic/10384/loading-the-caravan-on-the-water-damages-the-engine/13 I have done several C&D starts on water now without having any issues. As jarkows mentiond just make sure you select the option "cold and dark". Otherwise you might end up with a running engine.

I wasted 160 usd from inibuilds aircraft... not trying to hate on them but I actually can't fly the a350 and a340 because of wasm crashes.

@Black-Square Any chance it will have an optional configuration with the IO580 320hp STC?
