@PilotTumper said in Duke Turbine (maybe others) does not display correctly after PMS50 install on Xbox: uninstalling and re-installing it seems to be working correctly again. Glad that worked.

I honestly hate the walkaround part. I'd love if Asobo made it an option to skip it in the sim. (I think there might be a keybind or two - but a simple toggle would be better) I've done enough in real life in below freezing temps - and I don't feel it really simulates that much.

Hi, I'm on SU3. When I fly the Bonanza with tip tanks (cold and dark setup) and I'm ready for takeoff on the runway, I turn on my strobe lights. Something I notice with all the Black Square planes I have is that when you're on the ground, the strobe isn't very visible, but once in the air, they flash fairly clearly in daylight. I'm less concerned about the navigation lights, because they can indeed be difficult to see in daylight, especially if they're the old classic lights. But what really bothers me is the lack of a visible beacon in daylight, even though I'm sure two or three other developers manage to simulate a clearly visible beacon light in daylight. I have no idea whether they're doing a workaround or just programming differently. I hope one day we'll have a nice visible beacon. But don't get me wrong, these Black Square planes are simply fantastic, and I'm sure they'll get even better with updates. I Really hope with SU4 the lights don't get messed up any further.

I agree, and I think the discrepancy that you've noticed was me "shotgun" testing multiple possible solutions back when I was developing this system. The STARTER_SET event would be the most correct to use, but I also want to make sure that people have a way to access the magneto switch via L:Var without the spring return, which has been a sticking point for the majority of hardware questions in the past. Now, reading your original post to figure out the best combination of things to do here, the real question is why I haven't had any problems with starting the engines (with the proper visual switch position) by using the native starter events from the in-game controls menu.

@Leon oh yes, I noticed that. I once forgot to turn down the temperature in the car, and I tried to open the window to ventilate it. but the temperature didn't change.

@SMN204 Yay! Sorry it took a few tries.

As I just said in a related topic about throttle control: "I do absolutely nothing special regarding the throttle control in this aircraft compared to any default aircraft." Unfortunately, I think that means the issue is on your end. I might suggest creating a ticket with Just Flight Support, as they have a lot of experience troubleshooting every type of hardware imaginable. If you don't get anywhere with that, please let me know!

Yeah, not a bad idea! I haven't really strayed into that level of "aircraft ownership" before, and I think the inconsistencies of Asobo's state saving might frustrate some people, but I will think if there is a clever way to implement this. Thanks for the suggestion!

@EJNorth Thanks for the video, and thanks for stopping it before any terrible fate met those giraffes Well, as you might have noticed in your video, the airplane seems to bounce off invisible landing gear, and we see a commensurate dust cloud behind where the gear would be. This is obviously not what you should be seeing, and it's also something that I test with the "colliders" have to place for the aircraft's fuselage to collide with the ground. This leads me to believe that something very strange is happening on your system where the gear are somehow deployed, but not visually deployed. I don't know where to begin on recommending troubleshooting, other than usual "empty your community folder", if it's even something that you want to get to the bottom of.

No worries! You know where to find me if you have any more questions! I'm always happy to help

@aeronautorbust said in No option for G430 to be the primary GPS for most Blacksquare aircraft in the avionics selection.: Is there a reason why the G430 STILL isn't an option to be used as the primary GPS? Indeed, there is! As you might have noticed, both the TDS and PMS50 GTN 650's can also operate as the primary source of navigation when no primary GPS is selected. I asked Working Title to provide the same functionality a long time ago, and I was politely told that this would be too difficult. I then proceeded to modify their code to create my own solution for this, and I can confirm that it was very dirty, difficult, and inconsistent. Just as recently as Flight Sim Expo this year (July), I spoke with a WT representative about this again, and referred to it as my most wanted feature. Perhaps the day will still come for this functionality, but in the meantime, we will both be patiently waiting.

The reverse detents act as buttons so there is not a lot of flexibility in how to map them. You CAN set the main throttle levers to do reverse as well with negative values, but that cuts into your throttle range. Here's what I did to get reverse: [image: e5472b24-f255-4a7f-b714-2cd978cabba4.png]

Everything would be dependent on Aircraft. For example, in the Caravan or King Air which are frequently used by commercial operators, a G1000 option would be welcome as many of these airplanes in commercial service are equipped this way, and the G3X is only certified for piston aircraft. For the TBM850 as well, the G1000 was equipped on later aircraft from the factory, whereas we don't have the option of a G500/G500txi which is the most common retrofit on the pre-G1000 aircraft, so I'd rather see a G1000 as the glass panel option here. That said, G1000s aren't something you can retrofit on most piston aircraft, so in this case if you wanted to offer a glass panel option the G3X + G750 would be the obvious choice.

@jmarkows said in Feathering animation: The engines are running, you're pulling the levers back into the feather detent, and they're not feathering? Not in 2020.

@rinkerbuck said in Taking off without updating VLF and without updating position data doesn't really seem to matter?: ... Even without setting VORs to autotune, there still seems to be basically no appreciable loss of navigational accuracy. This is in 2024 SU3. There are more DME receivers than just the two that can be tuned manual or automatic. You check what the others are receiving on the MFD and if it is used to calculate your position. I have been thinking about taking the Starship flying in some remote area without radio beacons in range to play with the navigation. Haven't gotten around to it yet.

@jmarkows thank you for taking the time to explain all this ive only just seen your replies. i will give these a go and feed back as soon as i get a chance!

I just wanted to repost in here, thanks Dev for the quick response. The issue with the flashing lights in VR at night is with using TAA. I switched to DLSS and the bad flashing lights and the weird green graphical glitching is gone.
