    @Black-Square I know another person in Virtual Fly and he used to more the "face" of the company. I will send an email to him and explain what we are trying to accomplish as best I can and see if he replies. As I said above, I was shocked by this one support experience as it was certainly not what I was used to. The only issue, it has been years since I spoke with him. I will get back to you with my results.
  • Water rudder on the Amphibian very ineffective

    I may have found the problem here. There was an undocumented change in MSFS 2024, which prevents the water rudders from extended or retracting when the extension time was set to 0. Of course, I did this because MSFS 2024 interprets any water rudder movement as requiring the hydraulic gear pump, causing the gear pump light on the instrument panel to flash. It seems that a time of 1/100th of a second is short enough that the light doesn't illuminate. If this was the cause of the confusion here, then I think you will be much happier with the water handling now!

    It sounds like FlightFX has a solution to the Boris sound issue as of today, so the main barrier is cleared. Hopefully I will have full confirmation of their plans today, and we can proceed this week. The changelog is almost two pages long now, so I'm happy to hear you're excited!

    The screens on all the radios in my aircraft are dimmed by integrated photocells, not the dimmer knobs. If you see something like this on the face of an instrument, it's a photocell for light dimming. [image: fafcc330-a26d-4092-8fbf-07e01f0d21d5.png]

    @Persojet said in Weather radar: After that it's just a mess: This is because you have the NEXRAD imagery up on the GNS 530. It's a known bug in MSFS since day one, and we haven't been able to coax a solution out of Asobo yet, to the best of my knowledge.

    @hangar_101 I know, but since Andy suspected that Chaseplane may be the reason that only the Copilot shows up for him but no passengers, I wanted to clarify that it does indeed work with Chaseplane installed.

    @Buzz It’s not about staring at the plane from the outside, it’s about visual consistency. Since the spinners are part of the pilot's field of view, a static ice effect on a rotating part looks like a glaring oversight. Black Square is known for 'study-level' systems, so the visuals should match that level of detail. As I mentioned, Just Flight has already proven it’s possible to do it right.

    @Tadeus72 said in Your favorite medium-long range cruise altitude: Thank you, often when crossing the States I actually look for a scenic route, this might be a great inspiration, will check it out. If you fly it, please let me know how you like it. I think there's one small "error" in it near the Grand Canyon, one airfield you can get into but the runway might be too short to get out of again. Of course, if you're not flying it for the VA you can skip it no problem. I've yet to fly it myself.

    @09tir98 Oh, of course, thanks for the answer! I can't believe that explanation didn't cross my mind, but I guess I have spent too much time facing forward in the cockpit.

    As MiRexer already suggested I would start with an almost empty community folder to make sure it is not caused by any other add-on.

    Ah bummer. I wonder if they're working on that though. Might be worth keeping an eye on it!

    @SadBucket I fully understand what you are saying, but I believe the internal temperature during cruise is usually about 15C higher in the cabin than OAT, without aircon/heat. Will take a couple of thermometers/temperature probes with me on the next trip and put them at different places in the cabin (cockpit, mid cabin and aft cabin). And compare with OAT, should be fun to do. OAT for most of those legs at cruise should be between 5 and 10 C.

    @Zacke I had this issue last night on my first attempt, and then I did "send to avionics" a second time and it worked. It's the only time I've tried though, so I'm not sure how consistent your issue is.

    I have seen that same thing when playing with the breakers to save a bit of battery before starting. If it's not how the unit would work in real life, that's a WT issue, not a Black Square issue, as those are first-party GPS units.
