I finally flew the amphibian variant yesterday, and deploying the water rudders made a clear difference in steering for me. @Jiblet I think gears down/lift out of water effect is a sim bug (at least it used to be). At any rate, with gear retracted I have no issues on the water. For those still having problems, maybe try a reinstall of the plane if you haven't already?

@asnamara said in Heating too weak?: On the real aircraft, 6 C OAT, you would be quite comfortable inside the aircraft, without requiring heat. There's heat generated by the engine up front, and during the day, the sun plays a significant factor in warming up the cabin. Can confirm the "greenhouse" effect from the windscreen - I'm in a temperate climate, and we rarely have to use the heat in winter thanks to the number of sunny days here. Up front, we're usually nice and warm with a jacket or light coat... Meanwhile, the pax in the back, "in the shade", are complaining of being cold. If I flew cargo, I guess I wouldn't have the complaints.

I would like to add to the list with the tablet showing our total added cargo weight, so it is easier to sync with Simbrief or Neofly and such.

Yep this is a great source. But the book that caught my eye was the Turbine Pilot's Flight manual. I found a older copy on archive.org. Definitely want to read it.

@kotti No, I stay far away from Beta Software.

Even I was thinking of the same. I uninstalled and then did a custom install. I think one advantage of installing in a different location is to enable symbolic links. But then we don't really need two separate options if the default option is going to install in C:\JustFlight\MSFS2024.

@Akknk Thank You so much !!!

Yes, it would be nice to get the Swissair CV990 HB-ICC. It's always a pleasure to see this aircraft in the museum of transport in Lucerne. I am sure you will find the handbooks with technical data and checklists.

@Jannik-Stein Yep, the missing layers are making it a bit harder for me to use the paint kit. I normally only use Gimp for making liveries, I have to relearn how to paint in Blender.

@Black-Square - might warrant a pinned post somewhere - which is when you point me at an already existing one and I facepalm

@Black-Square Thank you for your reply, this answers my question. Regards, Brett

Already discussed elsewhere, fixed for the next update, but thank you!

@C525B Maybe, but the only air vents would be in the pit. I think all the interior panels that hide the ducting are pulled behind the cargo safety wall. So, no ducting in the back is my guess. Also, cargo operators won't pay for that option when it's only needed during ground ops, and it reduces useful load.

As a pilot, and after a few hours of flying in the Caravan, I found the sound perfect, everything is almost perfect. Taking advantage of the engine topic, in the real Caravan, if you use 500 lbs-trq, it can't maintain 100 knots level, even with the aircraft less full. It felt like it was a bit overpowered. Another observation I made is that in the real one, when you reduce the throttle to idle, it rapidly drains the speed. Sometimes I come in at VMO up to 2 nautical miles from the runway threshold and reduce to idle, the aircraft's speed drains rapidly, full flaps, and I still need to increase the engine power to avoid stalling. I didn't feel this braking in flight as happens with the real aircraft. This is a suggestion for improvement, it would be greatly appreciated, especially by real pilots. I'm happy to have invested money! Congratulations on the aircraft, it's almost perfect.

State saving is completely broken in MSFS 2024 right now. Asobo has said it will be fixed in SU5.

@jmarkows Yes there is indeed a keybind that is called "Flight Director Pitch Sync" I need to activate "Control AP Pitch with Hardware" in the tablet and bind this function to a key - and BAM it works! Thank you guys! @SadBucket Maybe also interesting for you - it is more or less similar to your approach but only with one of the keybinds

OK, in that case it is no longer a one for one gauge replacement, which would make it more complicated.. To meet your needs, a KFC225 might be a better option. Having said that, I do like the KFC150 in the Baron, and do not mind that the Caravan does not have a cookie cutter replica cockpit, but rather its own, quirky personality.
