    @Black-Square I worded that extremely poorly; I was trying to convey I was asking about pax not needing oxygen until 15,000ft. Your proposed solution makes sense to me in that context.

    @DeWoert Thank you for sharing this nice robust solution for the white boxes! I hope you folks don't mind me sharing a little extra 'work around' [extract taken from https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/white-box-over-vpilot-traffic-tail-number/312004/20] that disables the dynamic registration and thus enables us to paint a registration onto the appropriate texture, share the 'addon aliased' texture then have it visible in a Multiplayer Session as usual. First, as you can see from the screenshot, apply your registration to the appropriate C208 Texture using your usual repaint software. Then: "In MSFS, when you go to World Map to launch a flight. Select an aircraft and a livery, then go to “customization” On “Tail Number” make sure your cursor is in the box and hit “ALT 255” on the number pad. This will create a “null” character in that box and will virtually create an empty box." Sorry that this is a 'messy' solution but it works fine in MSFS2020 [I don't have 2024]. Perhaps there's a cleaner solution... Dave [image: ea27bf76-18f5-459b-95fd-1684d470a0f5.png]

    @Black-Square It would indeed be a huge amount of work, but it doesn't interfere with the simulation in any way. For me, the Starship is the best aircraft in the simulator that I've ever been able to purchase and study. I hope you'll continue to support it by implementing improvements and fixing bugs over time. Thank you!

    Good afternoon everyone, I was at FS Weekend in Lelystad, Netherlands last March. I bought the Fokker there as a pre-order; it was indicated there that it is expected to be released around the end of April. Can the developer indicate what we can expect regarding the release? It has been quiet for a while now. Hopefully, you can provide me with this information. Thank you in advance for your reply. Regards, RichardV

    For anyone struggling with this, here are my findings across a few planes. Its an interesting thing I promise First up: There are controls you can bind that work even for those ADF units that wont show or let you set decimals: [image: 38441838-343b-4448-9909-99ba1c496db1.png] That'll let you tun +/- 0.1 per button press, so you can make any of the ADF equipped planes work if you need to. And here's the verdict for various GA aircraft for those of us in the UK and elsewhere with .5 congested frequencies Tested by sitting on the ground at EGHI and trying to get 391.5 for the EAS NDB less than a mile away Cessna 172 G1000 (or I assume anything G1000) [image: 1d104a78-7cbb-41ee-b7be-89f68bbc2121.png] Lets you tune whatever decimal you like. Nice. Cessna 172 Steam [image: e2fbdcb6-84f3-4582-8c39-76f52decf1af.png] Fail. No Decimal tuning and no auto tuning. (you can use keybindings as above but you wont see the decimal changing - but you WILL see the freq round up to 392 when you set 391.5 Here's my stream Deck output showing (A:ADF ACTIVE FREQUENCY:1, Number) at the very same moment [image: bc14ed9e-153b-4f03-bd6b-e276ab9f8f98.png] Cessna 152 [image: f3fe0dfc-d1a0-4561-b127-68bc656361f2.png] Fail, same as the Steam 172. No decimals but you can use the keys if you can count to 5. Though interestingly, if you do use the keys it will show you have decimal, just not what that decimal is. [image: 1614b81d-0ae6-4001-b974-53ba34b78b62.png] And I can tell you that 391.5 works, but .4 or .6 does not. At all. The needle just dies immediately. JF Tomahawk and JF Pipers Auto, baby! Here's the unit... no room for decimals [image: 6103ea93-7023-4175-86d6-da1f8ccda33e.png] But about 5 seconds after tuning 391.0... We see (A:ADF ACTIVE FREQUENCY:1, Number) jump to 391.5 and lock, and the needle will move: [image: 997ad238-ce6c-4b1f-95bf-41543c94294a.png] Black Square Bonanza and Caravan: [image: 2cc3acf7-92b9-4f5a-99c3-4519734bb003.png] Both let you click the Off/Vol knob to add .5 each time. And have the . feedback to let you know its on .5. Nice. Black Square Starship [image: 1c47e06f-45eb-4193-8257-b6d946c4365b.png] AND [image: d3d09e44-6bcf-478a-a175-7aa415ddd730.png] Lets you set the decimal, and lets you do that in 2 different ways, because of COURSE it does. Because it's the best plane the company ever built. Blackbird Cessna 310R, Bagolu's Cessna Bushkit, etc etc I guess they use the default Asobo ADF KR80TSO unit because it does nothing clever. Here it is set to 391.5 using the keys: [image: 86b5ac4e-3a93-49cd-bb12-d6501e5ffa58.png] "Not ideal." Key points: Not too many people care about ADF especially .5 tuning. But we love those who do, @Black-Square and @just-flight! Asobo should implement auto .5 tuning, maybe in both directions, in their KR80TSO You can make it work in any ADF equipped plane using keybinds but they're not great. I apparently have nothing better to do than clog runways while playing with ADF

    You're saying the GTN turns on when you turn off the lights? I'm not sure what to make of that, since the circuit power uses the underlying electrical simulation, which does not account for voltage drop. Are you draining the battery an enormous amount before starting, and then leaving the engine at idle RPM? Perhaps a video would be helpful to diagnose this one.

    Thank you both @Mark and @Avionic for your replies. I can confirm I am using the custom 146 Simbrief profile, though as has been mentioned, the problem is unlikely to be with the profiles but more likely with the actual fuel burn rates in the simulator. Using my latest 146 flight as an example, the estimated Enroute Burn was 3930kg for a Route Distance of 614 nm (Estimated TOW 40,671 kg). The actual recorded burn was 2637kg. I am happy to provide further flight plans, figures etc and raise a support ticket with those details but I get the impression there is something more fundamental going on here. Simulator settings? Other possible conflicting addons such as GSX? Etc. Thank you both again.

    Ok, thank you so much, appreciate it! I don't prefer the tooltips turned on but will remember it is +/- 100ft for every mouse wheel turn and just have to know when it is turned on or off. Appreciate the quick response!

    Missing schedules in the Traffic Control Centre typically indicate an installation/activation-related issue. Our first suggestion would be to uninstall FS Traffic, download a fresh copy from the store you purchased it from, and then run the freshly downloaded installer. If, after a fresh install, you find that schedules are still missing, we would kindly recommend opening a ticket with Just Flight Support via the following link: https://www.justflight.com/support In the ticket, we would recommend including information regarding any error messages you are seeing during installation/activation, and then our support team will be in the best position to assist with troubleshooting this.

    Thanks again for this! I went through the new file, and everything looks perfect. It's those SetSimVarValue calls that really seem to affect performance when in great number, so the simple conditional is usually better. I will include this in my next updates, and I've already updated the manuals with the new variables. You're more than welcome to share the profile! Usually I worry about conflicts later down the line when a mod is made incorrectly, but in this instance, since you will be overwriting only the one file, and with the exact same code that will be in the next update, I think it's mostly safe. You're welcome to make your own package, or wait a month or two until my usual round of summer updates for all my aircraft. There are lots of little new features for all of them, so this will be a nice addition too! Thanks again.

    I am using the TDS and getting this problem quite frequently. But this only happens when coming out of HDG mode. When using an RNAV procedure to get myself onto the ILS, it never happens. So far, I only encountered this when using Black Square aircraft. And yes, it might be a problem with the standard autopilot but still it’s quite an annoying bug. I love the Black Square aircraft but the autopilot implementation is really a weak point. A2A for example does a custom autopilot implementation for the Comanche and Aerostar and it shows. Much more realistic behaviour and one can actually operate the autopilot using the original manual. It’s quite a pity that Black Square uses highly customized systems for almost everything but then uses the standard autopilot.

    Do you think you could record a video for me to look at? Since you have the Analog Caravan, I assume you are familiar with starting procedures, so you're waiting until the gas generator reaches its maximum speed before introducing fuel?

    Is it possible to automatically swap the SL40 COM radio for the SL30 NAV/COM radio in slot 2 when the NAV OBS 2 option is turned on, to solve the issue of it only being usable with two GPS units or one GPS as it is now?
