Pakistan, what are you doing, ahaha, stop! [image: 8839149d-78b4-4af5-886b-666315ddbc30.png] I honestly gave Bonanza a chance, and I love it, but it's just not Baron enough, if you know what I mean. This bird took me from Essen all the way to Turbat, known as the hottest place in the Gulf. And I didn't stop there - landed in Ahmedabad just a minute ago, almost 5.000 NM behind my back and I just can't have enough of Baron. Two engines, twice as much headache, and it's just so awesome! I love Bo, I really do. Bo with its fancy view out of cockpit makes a journey feel relaxed. A nice shot of the landscape made from between Baron's roaring engines makes a trip feel deserved and every good landing - well-earned. Will see how it conquers Nepal, wish me luck!

Have the same issue with bonanza and baron

Figured that was still the case. Landing lights workaround is fine until they do. From your comment it sounds like SU5 did not tackle this, maybe SU6.

@Black-Square Thanks for the clarification. I guess I'll have to live with it showing up on shadows cast on the ground as well while sitting inside the plane. Other than this, it is a great plane, and has already provided me with hours and hours of entertainment. I thank you for that!

@Black-Square There seem to be some issues with the "A:IS USER SIM", more info might be here https://devsupport.flightsimulator.com/t/is-user-sim-is-not-returning-correct-values-for-multiplayer-aircraft/16920 For the Caravan is seems to work fine (as far as I could test it)

@Chicobello I checked the files as soon as I saw (I'm assuming your) post on the Official Forums, and all four flight models are identical in this respect. Let me know if you have had a chance to examine this.

@RPGamerous maybe some genius makes a doorless variant of cargomaster as well. Can be am imaginary skydive variant

@Dingle Sorry for the delay. I was traveling to record audio for the Twin Commanders and King Air. I have not seen this reported in any of my aircraft recently, so I suspect it is something on your side. Make sure the TDS software is up-to-date, and you might have luck contacting TDS support, or Just Flight Support, since they provide advice on many more aircraft than just mine alone.

Indeed, it is correct! You can see the early renders here, but an update is long overdue. The aircraft is essential done now, with the exception of sound. I recorded sound from a turbonormalized 114 this past September, and Boris will begin work very soon. The 114 will be my next aircraft released, which I'm expecting to be this June or July. I've had a lot of fun developing some new immersion features and unique avionics for it, so I'm glad you're looking forward to it! Yes, it will include the aftermarket turbonormalizing package, three-blade scimitar propeller, and optional electric air conditioner too.

Honestly, it's one of the features A2A has that yours do not. Would sure be nice to enjoy.

I absolutely love your Bonanza/Baron package, it's my go to for about everything.... but would absolutely love to see this mod done by ZachB available to us all instead of an AVSIM friends wall lol? [image: 05fcae58-c45f-481f-b065-fdeb9e3d06b8.png] Curious why it isn't possible?

I already have eyesight issues and my second string to the bow to induce levels of pseudo hypoxia seem to centre around more beer which could be deemed as quite successful, though further testing needs to be carried out to keep currency in this area of research.

Sorry for the delay. Just getting back from an audio recording trip for the Twin Commanders and the King Air. 1-3 are generally in the realm of "my aircraft don't support Ctrl-E", and "MSFS 2024's flight starting/restarting system are very confused." I will look into the loss of synchronization with reloads to see if there is an easy solution, but when I have looked into similar things in the past, they were beyond my control to fix. This has been reported, and I've already fixed it for the next update. Thanks. I will test this next time I have the simulator open, but the code is identical to my other aircraft where this feature has been working for years. You're referring to the copilot's side localizer for use with the KNS-81? You can control the OBS simply by modifying L:var_RNAV_OBS, number. Let me know if you have any trouble with that. I use the simulation variable A:SURFACE TYPE, ENUM, which is the only way to read surface type to the best of my knowledge. I know next to nothing about scenery design, but I believe that the designer should have the opportunity to select an appropriate surface type tag while creating any custom materials. The audio panel switches are not state saved in any of my aircraft. Sorry for the disappointment. Let me know if you have any more questions, or if there is anything else I can do for you!

@Buzz Easy fix. Thanks.

I wonder if this is related to my post below. The topic is slightly misnamed, as it's VOR tracking using any avionics. The key seems to be the use of third-party control mappers such as Spad.Next or FSUIPC. I honestly haven't done any further testing for a while. https://community.justflight.com/topic/10383/nav-mode-keeps-changing-to-rol-with-non-gps-avionics

@ch0llis another big thanks to you. It looks a lot better now with those bits ironed out. I'm grateful for your efforts.

2024 models brake fade, which could be relevant if you've been practising circuits and have heated up your brakes. One of the debug tools in Dev Mode shows brake effectiveness and live values - check the 'Aircraft' > 'Wheels' overlay. The yellow lines coming from the wheels show the force direction and the length indicates the amount of force. [image: 0f23a377-259a-4cac-a1ac-1853f7236db2.png] Here, the aircraft is turning so there is a sideways force. When braking, the force is backwards etc. With the Duke, the force lines from the main wheels are always vertical, which might be an indicator of a slightly different implementation in the sim, as the handling otherwise feels correct. I'm not meaning to pick at Nick's incredible work, so have no idea what this difference actually means. Here you see a high force on the left wheel and small force on the right wheel, due to a tight right turn (but the lines do not 'lean' to show the sideways forces as for the C152): [image: 05058e25-d0e6-4cab-a7ce-ab834275eb8a.png] Finally, the overlay window shows brake temperatures and effectiveness. As they get hot, the effectiveness reduces. Here's a sample after taxying around with my left brake on: [image: a7d4a1bc-3fe3-48b0-98cc-05849785eca1.png] I'm applying 100% brakes but am only getting 70% effectiveness due to the brakes being 229°C! Also, since you asked, the overlay shows the surface type under each wheel and it changes dynamically along with the lateral and longitudinal forces: [image: c8d5f7d9-1e67-4456-aca4-af1146d8368c.png] So while I can't give you any definitive answers, I can perhaps give you a way to check/test your situations and understand what might be happening. It's fun to look under the hood and see the magic happening Regards, Martyn
