Yes, that's correct. I must have eliminated that variable during development. You can use the B:Var, K:TOGGLE_PROPELLER_DEICE, A:PROP DEICE SWITCH:1, or set the circuit directly with A:CIRCUIT SWITCH ON:30.

I’ve identified the issue — it turned out to be a simple misconfiguration in SPAD.neXt.

@Black-Square Thank you very much for the quick reply. Everything is beautiful and works great — the only downside is the persistence saving. I guess I’ll have to come to terms with that. It is a bit strange that the Hobbs shows 2 hours, which means it must have been saved at some point. I have a feeling that the method of ending the flight and then immediately reloading the aircraft, and only after that exiting to the main menu, actually worked — I’ll verify it tomorrow. Otherwise, I really don’t know what else to try. At this point I’ll probably just have to wait. I’m not sure how others are dealing with it. Most likely the same way — they’re waiting too.

Now that I noticed this behavior I cannot unsee it. You mentioned third party GPS already make use of the default NAV IDENT variable, which explains why you coded it this way. But could you make it more realistic when using one of the non-third party units? For example, when using the "default" GNS 530/430 and/or your KX155B/KNS81 combo (the so-called no-GPS config), would it be possible to give us at least the option to disable to automatic flipping of the relevant switch on the audio panel (perhaps selectable via the tablet)? I'd love to click both the PULL IDENT and also the NAV 1 swtich on the audio panel myself, rather than having some "invisble" hand manipulating switches I never clicked. I love Black Square for the ultra realism, and the current solution, while understandable, does not match the level of detail of the rest of the systems. First, the PULL IDENT click does not physically pull that knob, I'd love to see the knob animated. And second, clicking a static (non-animated) knob even triggers a different switch to physically move is kind of immersion-killing (for me). Please, at least for the default units (GNS 530/430 and your own KNS81), rework this to make it more realistic so that the pilot needs to click the PULL IDENT as well as the appropriate switch on the audio panel, rather than the NAV 1 switch moving by itself. I hope it's something you can implement.

Yeah, I love these aircrafts Bonanza and Baron... but I hope one day we have a working visual beacon during daytime. It is possible on other aircraft it seems.

Hi Mark... Uninstalling and reinstalling worked... no message about out of date nav data... thanks, Rob

Thank you Mark.

Yeah I have them both off to avoid random crashes. But it still happened. Did another flight today and all was good.

@hangar_101 @kityatyi I might be missing something here, but what is there to "not work" in the Bonanza? There should be nothing stopping you from creating this modification for any of my aircraft. Obviously you need to position all the characters correctly for each aircraft, but this is no different than I would have to do to include this in the base installation. As I've explained, I just made the executive decision not to do this before Asobo "fixes" the regressions with character models in MSFS 2024. That conversation is still ongoing on the developer forums, btw.

Has the update already been released? I own the Bonanza Professional. It’s amazing. But unfortunately, my progress is not being saved. If I enter the game, refuel to full tanks, end the flight and close the game, then start the game again, the fuel tanks are only half full. The throttle levers are also in a different position. Could this be affected by whether the aircraft is streamed or installed locally?

That is the best news ever!

@jmarkows Yes, I always exit using End Flight or Main Menu, depending on if I want to go for another flight or finish up for the session. I have never exited from the Sim using the Stop button in Steam or closing the window via Windows, unless it's frozen. Either way, the state saving doesn't function as expected. See testing performed recently in this thread: Aircraft Configuration Not Saved In MSFS 2024 @Tadeus72 Yeah, I didn't notice a difference between either the End Flight and Main Menu button exit methods either; both seemed to result in the same aircraft state upon reload when tested in the previously mentioned tests.

I have my fingers and toes crossed for this. I honestly believe I wouldnt fly anything else if we had G3X in the Bonanza and Barons.
