    If it's an underlying issue with the sim that is causing this excessive thrust at low torque at least it makes sense... I've flown a bit more and the 3rd notch of flaps make a huge difference (who would have thought!). I am now able to control my airspeed in final even on a steep approach. I did a few flights in PNG last night and had a blast!

    H:ALT_AltitudeSelectKnob_Dec_1 and H:ALT_AltitudeSelectKnob_Inc_1 are the events for the reference altitude.

    Same issues as well: switch doesn't move, and the LVAR works intermittently. I've been fiddling with this a bit with SPAD. In FS2024 Dev mode, the animation uses O:XMLVAR_ELECTRICAL_Switch_Alternator_1_Animation_Position. Not quite sure what to do with that. I tried creating verious Client Events, but still no luck.

    @Black-Square I conducted two tests regarding the glass effect on the cockpit instruments. The first test was performed on the Piper aircraft (Carenado Piper). In this case, I examined the glass effect, reflections, and overall reflectivity of the instruments. As shown in the video, regardless of the viewing angle, the glass effect remains consistently visible on the instrument panel. It appears properly implemented and visually convincing, independent of camera angle or movement. Carenado Piper glass effect In the second test, I examined the instrument glass effect on the Black Square Caravan Professional. Here, it is clear that there is effectively no visible glass effect on the instruments, even when viewed up close, as demonstrated in the video. However, an interesting behavior can be observed: when rotating the camera to extreme side angles and scanning across the panel, a brief glass reflection appears at certain angles. This effect disappears immediately as soon as the camera is moved.It is also important to note that these extreme side viewing angles are not representative of normal cockpit usage, as instruments are never observed from such positions in practice. Black Square Caravan Professional glass effest In conclusion, I would like to highlight that the Carenado Piper aircraft serves as a working example where the glass effect is consistently present and properly implemented. This clearly demonstrates that the feature is achievable. Therefore, I would kindly ask the developer of the Caravan Professional to address this issue and improve the glass effect so that it becomes consistently visible and visually convincing on the instruments.

    @Black-Square is it really only with Starship? I thought it would have been being rolled out to the rest of the fleet by now. Not having the workaround is less of an issue for most starting spots, but drastically limits your options for doing multi leg flights without going back to the menu.

    @Black-Square Your responses and activity in this forum (and elsewhere, I'm sure), along with the quality of your products are of the highest calibre, sir. Your workloads must be high so I appreciate you having such an active and involved presence amongst the community who are using your aircraft. Keep doing what you're doing - arguably one of the best developers creating some of the best aircraft on the platform and easily the best customer interaction of all that I have seen to date.

    @Rivet Thank you for this very nice note. It's always a pleasure to hear how my users are enjoying the aircraft, and that I can bring a little enjoyment to someone's life with my software. Have fun, and let me know if there is ever anything else I can do for you!

    I've been trying to reproduce this for a while now, and then I had a realization. I was surprised to hear this, since it's the same basic battery temperature code I've been using in all my aircraft. I couldn't reproduce this with a 50% drained battery, 140°F ambient temperatures, and maximum electrical load in the aircraft. Then I remembered a problem I hadn't seen since my Analog King Air. MSFS erroneously connects the generator output to the propeller speed, instead of the gas generator in free turbine aircraft. Apparently my last minute beta range changes before release dropped the RPM just low enough in beta that the generator doesn't output sufficient power, and the battery is taking all the load. This problem will go away as a result of my beta range fixes in v1.1, but in the meantime, the fundamental problem is low propeller RPM. If you just keep the power lever at the flight idle detent when you don't need beta for taxiing, the battery will recharge and cool down. Feel free to pass this along to the Official Forums. We're planning on getting v1.1 out this week, as soon as Boris and Just Flight are back from FSWeekend. Sorry for the delay!

    @pequenyo Since I already have my own damage simulation, ideally I would like Asobo's to be completely inert. However, since it's quite confusing that "Aircraft Stress Damage" damages the engine, and not "Engine Stress Damage", I have just fixed the metric that was causing the issue so that the Asobo system will only receive damage long after the limits are exceeded. I still highly recommend disabling "Aircraft Stress Damage" when flying with all of my aircraft; however, since I hate to see anyone's flight ended prematurely by an errant click on the pilot's storm window. Thank you again so much for your helping tracking this one down! I was really losing sleep over it!

    Wonderful! Thank you for putting this together. As I said elsewhere earlier, "anyone who labors to improve the experience of our fellow Black Square pilots deserves a heartfelt thank-you"

    Freeze lat/long retains the geo location, but not the direction. You're better off pressing pause. But a proper anchor/mooring would be the best solution, like in the CAS Cub.

    This is actually good point. Most useful when traversing different time zones.
