Thanks. Changelog explains my start issue. No doubt I watched pre 1.1 videos. Regarding state saving; I do shut down to black cockpit, but keep the key in place. Back to simulator: Keys often placed on altimeter. Bat - alternator - trim on - once even flap down. Frequencies and alt preset are saved. But this is absolutely minor issues, takes only seconds to clear. If it is only me and the old mediocre PC, do not waste time on it. ---- And yes I do shut down using main menu. . Again - thanks for another wonderful stellar product and support.

@jerrivel Incredible! Thanks so much for the preview!

I'm pretty sure it worked for me before. Are you sure the Visual Approach you selected has a GP? When loading the Visual you'll get a pop up saying something like "Visual Approach for referency only, no obstacle clearance assured" and "TCH:XX" as well as "Glidepath:XX". Normally you have a 3° GP but on some approaches it will just say "-" meaning there's no vertical guidance available for the visual.

@Bananza I'm sorry to say, I hadn't flown the F70/F100 in a little bit, but this wasn't an issue I recalled having. So I loaded into the F100 to check it out for you, and found that my tiller steering works perfectly, using Axis and Ohs and the AXIS_STEERING_SET event. I have seen other reports (don't remember if they were here or the MSFS forums) of issues with nose wheel steering, but they were reports of it working and then suddenly cutting out for a little bit, not of it not working at all. That particular issue I've had myself in a few aircraft, and it's always been a result of having the steering bound both in Axis and Ohs and in a MSFS control profile that the sim erroneously loaded. Your issue doesn't sound like this, but it might be worth checking, if you haven't already?

Thanks for the honest reply. I appreciate it. I’m glad I’m not the only one who found some of those sounds surprising compared with the other Black Square PT6 aircraft. Hopefully Boris will have the opportunity to revisit them in a future update. I know these details can be difficult to get right, but the engine and propeller sounds make such a big difference to the overall immersion.

@Dingle I wanted to ask the same question.

Any updates on that?

Many thanks to @fizzboy and @SadBucket for their thoughts on this topic. I’m not at home this week but will look more into it when I’m back at the sim. I think the viable conclusion is that (some of) the GPS units are at fault by using too much Asobo code for the autopilot.

@Black-Square ok. I deleted the aircraft and reinstalled from the 0.1.1a installer and RNAV WPT2 is still only working with NAV2 instead of NAV1 with the GNS530/MX170B combo.

@RPGamerous Thank you so much!! It really was fun going through all my stickers and each one brought me back a memory of what I've done or seen. A few are not aviation related like the Black Kat Kustoms or the Abe Froman and Save Ferris which I added since the red is Ferris Bueller Ferrari red. Thank you so much for the kind words!

@TJ-Turner Yes, the sounds overwrite the default TBM 930 sounds because the Black Square uses the same files. We chose to do this because of compatibility with future updates and minimizing the amount of configuration files we needed to redistribute.

@Gatlingorange the only difference I can spot to my approaches is that you've got AP1 and AP2 enabled. I think I haven't ever used AP2 in thousands of sim flights over the last 20 years. Give it a try and report if it's different when just using AP1 and leaving AP2 disengaged.

Yes, there are a lot that do not have built in MSFS settings. 99% of them are in Black Squares user manual. I use spad.next for most of them.

Ratman nailed it regarding temperature sensitivity on the TC version. Well, it might be a couple things that need adjusting to be ideal. Procedure is to crack the throttle 1/4 in. and increase mixture to full rich to achieve > 5 GPH. Two things look to be working against trying to achieve that. Fuel flow does not increase based on throttle setting until the throttle is up to around 80% and higher, thus cracking it 1/4 in., or even 50% open, is no different than keeping it fully shut off in terms of fuel flow and starting the plane. You just need some fuel flow during prime to start. On the TC version fuel flow is dependent on outside temperature. The TC version looks to behave like the normally aspirated version at ~54F, where fuel flow peaks, and at temps below. As temp increases from 54F, fuel flow starts to drop when priming. Since its pretty damn hot all over the northern hemisphere right now, if you fly real world conditions, you're probably at > 75F on the ground. If temp gets high enough, fuel flow drops to zero until the conditions in #1 are met with the throttle up > 80%. These temp effects are not seen on the normally aspirated version as far as I could tell.

OK, I'll grab some screenshots when I'm next able (but it might be a while). Best regards, John.
