Well I was hoping there might be a break in which I could bring this up again, but the Caravan seems to have produced an absolute flurry of activity. Maybe in a week or two

Hmmm, better read the manual... Why HDG mode worked differently than NAV mode is still not clear to me..

Thanks got it.

I agree some more steering realism would be great. Also a realistic parking brake. As far as I remember those aren’t part of any Black Square aircraft for convenience of less-skilled users.

@Black-Square To point 7 about the boost pump. Totally realize how my explanation would be a bit tough to understand. So the way the system works is that there is a 10PSI switch on the fuel line and the switch should activate at 10PSI +/-2 PSI. When that switch comes on, it will throw the annunciator message for the FUEL PRESS, and if the switch turns back off, then your FUEL PRESS annunciator will turn off. This is purely a switch in the engine compartment, not talking about a physical switch in the cockpit When the aux boost switch is in auto, that 10PSI fuel pressure switch will also activate the aux boost pump to come on, but when the fuel pressure switch turns off, meaning the boost pump has done its job, the boost pump will not turn off like the annunciator light does. Instead the boost pump will remain on until its cycled. Now, this doesn't mean the switch has to be turned to the off position, though that will also reset the auto function, it only has to be brought back to the ON position for a second or so, then when you switch that back up to the AUTO position, the boost pump will not be on, the pressure will drop back down onto what the engine mechanical pump is providing. This is assuming its in flight and the mechanical is working. As far as the shutdown goes, which is where most people will see it, if the engine isn't spinning, the mechanical isn't pumping, the fuel pressure will always be too low so whether the switch is in auto or on, the boost pump will be on until you switch it off. Your understanding is correct, it latches until "reset" by turning the switch to on or off then back to auto. Its very much appreciated that you took the time to read this and are willing to address these. Like I said, I'll take the time to run it through a full maintenance list like I would in the real thing to point out any other things, but as far as a normal flight goes, the original post were the things that stood out to me. The only other thing I'd mention off the top of my head is if the prop blade tip supersonic snapping audio could be reduced/eliminated above like 40-60 knots indicated. I think from what I read its an audio pack from someone else, but that snapping sound goes away once there is good airflow over the prop heading down the runway. Or have some headset on type ANR to dampen it. Its a bit much to listen to for a full flight. Example here maybe if I know how to upload a video to youtube and share it right? Mind you this is a 700, but its the same 4 blade hartzell prop spinning at the same speed. link text

@RPGamerous Yes! - that helped, reinstalling it again seemed to have installed all version correctly. It also did not install the super cargo master version either which now installed. [image: 14f1bc36-083d-4811-8428-779c8d41bbe3.png]

Greetings from KPDX cargo platform ! @Black-Square What an elegant addon you’ve created! Although I've been studying the manual and the POH over the last few weeks, I’m going to need more time to process everything. During the last hour, I've been playing with the breakers, checking their effects on the schematic pages. The tablet is incredible. What a sleek design! In the next couple of hours, I'm going to assign levers, buttons, etc... but I can’t wait to replicate the first Empire Airliners flight I find on Flightaware :). Such an elegant addon! I really hope for great success with the release because it definitely deserves it.

@Derek Oh thanks, good to know!

@Black-Square just a quick thank you! My first flight completed around South East England. The Caravan feels alive and so authentic. Your work is exceptional and your talent grows with every release. The best birthday present 🥳

@Black-Square @vortac12 What does the trick for me (in the Starship) is once I am "done" with my flight, I press esc -> Restart flight. That will put you in your departure airport. Then its a matter of just quitting the simulator as normal.

@Captain_J I meant for my question to be directed toward Nick. Thinking about it now, I would assume he does, but that’s not to say the flight model in the sim would make it feel 1:1 with the real plane anyway. I have noticed the trim does feel more sensitive than similar types I’ve flown in real life, but unfortunately I haven’t actually flown any of Black Square’s planes in real life yet, so I wouldn’t know how they’re supposed to feel. I do know the A2A Aerostar’s electric trim feels nearly identical to real life and is much less responsive than how the Duke’s trim is modeled.

Glad to hear you're as excited about the F70 and F100 as we are! To answer each of your questions: It's not something we'd be comfortable committing to bringing to our previous products at the moment, as it is quite a complex piece of logic to integrate. However, it is something we would consider adding further down the line if a suitable opportunity arises and time allows. It will be possible to use your own custom files for the Announcements and Music played by the Digital Music Player. The pilot callouts are a separate system with the individual sound files being incorporated within the sound package, so they won't be customisable. This was discussed during development, but I recall our sound developer noting that there would be some technical challenge to overcome to make the pilot callouts customisable. It remains on the feature request list for now, and we'll revisit it again in the future. Mark - Just Flight

There is also a free tool you can download from Flightsim.to called PushbackHelper. You can use it with all airplanes but it allows to push or pull the plane.

@Derek Make sure to keep them in a fenced off area too, otherwise the local council might pick them up for wandering about unsupervised. Ok, hmm maybe I'm misremembering, but I was pretty sure Martin said that the RJ performance calculator was contracted out to a 3rd party and the 3rd party just disappeared leaving you all in the lurch.

Yes, I'm running MSFS2024 now.
