@SadBucket I think the option (and I'm a great believer in options!) to simply remove by tablet is great for those that maybe think they have a ground crew for doing those things. That actually brings up something I don't know: do biz jet pilots remove the covers and things? How deep a preflight do they do? I had a buddy who flew in east Africa for the Red Cross for years and he told me about the flying but never once mentioned doing a preflight. I drove school bus for 30 years and my stories never mention the 10 minutes doing the pretrip inspection that we all had to do every morning. @Black-Square I guess I'm missing something when setting the park brake - I'll try that ASAP. edit: Got it!! A small possible wrinkle would be having to be within a certain radius of a removable element; it would lend more credence to walking around doing the preflight. Why be able to reach 20' to remove a cover? Okay, we can't jump up on the wing (can we?!) to remove the intake covers so there has to be a compromise. Have a great day. Bob

Some of the central components of this sim are actually out of the cockpit of the Baron that I flew. [image: 47f92613-787e-412b-a778-70911a36a087.jpg]

Clear, thank you for explanation. Next time I will try a less windy ramp to verify.

This sounds like something Just Trains Support could help with: https://www.justtrains.net/support

Ok thanks, I'm happy with that quick answer ---Louis cyyc

PMS sounds like a headache lately. I've been hearing people having issue's when the PMS is installed and not even being used.

Thanx for the feedback mate, good luck with your endeavour.

@ThargorV8 @Black-Square With Vatsim and SI, GNA 340 works perfectly, just make sure you have the VATSIM "Monitor all" option on in the tablet options (I forget the exact name of the setting...). One thing I do want to mention is that I've noticed many addon liveries seen to cause the aircraft light's to appear brighter and a few other graphic anomalies despite them saying they are compatible with msfs2024. Frustrating, but I've been happy with the default liveries in the meantime.

simple answer, just use tds, its tremendously better than pms. 🫠

@lilycrose Thanks, good to know! I’ll dig into it a bit more on my end and see what I find. Really appreciate your help!

Thank you very much

Interesting. I had a vague recollection of this from many years ago, so this may have been in the code since the 90's. If you're working with any 3rd party binding software, I'm sure someone has coded a solution for this by now.

I hope this will be made available for purchase. This would make for an awesome addon for the addon. A G3X mod would be a Day 1 pucrhase of the Bonanza PLUS the mod for me.

Indeed, sounds like a fuel leak failure. Check the failures page of the tablet interface for "active failures", or click "reset all failures."

Many thanks for the reply. Apologies, I should have included the fact I’m on Xbox. So no option to interact with all those lovely variables accessible to PC users. It varies between addons which status lights work on the Turtle Beach “SIP”. All lights work for many a/c. It’s a fantastic feature for those of us on Xbox, for instance when the landing gear is in motion the corresponding light illuminates yellow, turning green when down and locked. The Master Caution and warning lights always strike me as odd as not working in the Black Square modules. Although it’s all a black art to me - I’m sure there is a very sensible reason! I’ve played flight sims on PC for 20+ years, but am largely content on Xbox for a variety of reasons so really want to remain on the Wonder Box. It’s just a shame that some basic game features are only available via third party software. Another minor source of frustration is the lack of mappings to standard key binds in many cases. The altitude pre-selection in the Starship being a good example. Similarly in the JF146, there is no way for Xbox users to map the “arm altitude” button to a keyboard/controller button. Regards.

I believe C208 is next on agenda along with the commander 114 and aero commander 685... I do know Nick plans to bring over all the steam gauge overhaul aircraft so the king air will come eventually. Hopefully it's not too far out. You can port the analog king air into msfs2024, I believe you have to disable the king air in msfs2024, copy the asobo msfs2020 king air and black square king air folders into msfs2024 community folder and it should load up and work with only minor lighting issues (that is the light's are abnormally bright).

@Black-Square Yeah everything is completely fine now. I just wanted to ask, even though it’s a bit of a different topic and I don’t want to create a new thread for it—I noticed that the aircraft is already a bit dirty by default, which is nice, but does it no longer get visually dirtier along the way?
