@SteveKane Very interesting results!! I will eagerly await more testing! This could explain why I have never seen this, since I don't use any 3rd party hardware applications that might be polling the variables or causing whatever hiccup is related to this in MSFS 2024.

@asnamara Wonderful! I'm glad I could make the improvements you were looking for. I never promise that it's perfect, but with every piece of feedback, hopefully it gets a little better

Hey. Yeah, having the same issue. Can't read the labels in VR during daylight. And I am running a Meganex8K with a 4090, so there are a lot of pixels rendered, but this still isn't enough. Luckily there aren't that many switches, so I just memorized them. But I also have the problem with very bright sunlight making the gauges a bit dim. This seems to be a sim problem. Had that in other planes too. In MSFS 2020 you could mitigate that effect by turning on the gauge lighting, but in MSFS 2024 it doesn't work until it gets darker outside. Made a bug report about that ages ago, but didn't got enough votes to be looked at.

Yup, managed to get to 279 KTAS at FL 280. [image: 0a9dae00-779a-4877-ac7f-c8a7b84094a6.png]

thx for confirming. BTW I am currently in Honduras on my way to Belize

The one on flightsim seems to have been taken down. A2a has one that came with the Aerostar but it doesn't seem to work any more either. I'm guessing Asobo broke it with SU4.

@Black-Square Sorry Nick, I had to crop the screenshots because 1440 is apparently too big for the forums to handle, and I thought I did a better job describing. And yes, I am in MSFS 2024, which I'm sure I missed saying in the OP. Yes, I have been starting with the propeller feathered, only for the last screenshot with the battery charging and positive instrument air had the propeller out of feather and in the high pitch position. Incidentally, I noticed with the propeller feathered that instrument air and fuel pressure reached nominal levels during startup, and then fell off again. I thought I had been keeping abreast of the propeller RPM issue, but apparently I missed how pervasive it is. Sorry about that. This is the same issue as the generator not being tied to the Ng, and therefore not putting out enough power at lower RPMs?

Hey guys, I don't know exactly how the throttle axis is configured on your TQ6s, but I had good results with my Velocity One quadrant using the MSFS 2024 sensitivity settings. I posted the results here if anyone would be interested in taking a look. This gives me the entire range of forward and reverse travel on one axis and roughly matches the virtual detents with the proper positions on my physical axis, though I don't have physical detents. If you guys have physical detents, this same method should, if I'm understanding it right, allow you to tweak it such that you can match the physical detents to the virtual ones, it might just require a different neutral and Sensitivity+/- settings.

@Mark Appreciate it as always.

For Axis And Ohs I managed it, changing the Interior.xml a bit. At the component ELECTRICAL_Switch_Alternator_1 I added this code: <OVERRIDE_ANIM_CODE> (L:var_GeneratorSwitch, number) 1 == if{ 0 } (L:var_GeneratorSwitch, number) 0 == if{ 100 } (L:var_GeneratorSwitch, number) 2 == if{ 200 } </OVERRIDE_ANIM_CODE> Afterwards I used the "Layout Generator" from fs.to to recalculate the layout.json. Now I'm able to control the Switch using something like 1 (>L:var_GeneratorSwitch, number). @Black-Square It would be great if you could add this to one of the next updates. This was already missing in the 2020 version and drove me nuts.

Thank you very much for your advice - greatly appreciated.

Agreed and the OAT gauge top left. The deg C does not match. Dunno about F.

I've emailed Aeroplane Heaven and your selves at Just flight many many times begging for a Super VC 10 in MSFS 2020-2024 infact so many times in the last six years my emails now get ignored.

@Black-Square said in A list of Squawks as a 10+ year TBM Maintainer: This is the only tough one, unfortunately. As I just explained to someone else in another thread, MSFS does not really have any support for beta range, and everything you see here is me fighting with the underlying simulation to get what I want. For whatever reason, the propeller simulation creates a decrease of RPM when reducing the blade pitch into the beta range. I've considered adding yet another patch of my own on top of this simulation to mitigate the problem, but too many patches on top of patches can become a dangerous thing in software, unfortunately. I have no knowledge about the real aircraft behavior, however would like to add one point from a pure flightsim perspective: It is basically impossible to find a power setting that maintains taxi speed at a stable level. If I control the power lever with the keyboard F2 & F3 I can set increments of 1%. If I have a setting that increases speed, reducing by 1% already slows the aircraft down. If this is similar in the real aircraft I would accept this. If not, I would appreciate checking if the a stable speed can be achieved with a broader range of power lever setting, knowing that aircraft weight & weather conditions have an influence as well. Anyway, @Subsonic many thanks for your real maintenance view, if you can also on my comment.

Is there any connection to the surface modeling from the simulator? I've found similar behavior with another popular 737 previously that once at a set taxi speed, it never changes. I see this as well with the Caravan. If I am in Beta at 15kts - It will tend to stay at 15kts. If BETA is ZERO thrust from the prop, I'd expect some friction and other forces to begin reducing the taxi speed where I will eventually need to pop out of beta to maintain forward speed.
