@Black-Square Here are a few options I can suggest: Put the anchor on the passenger door Do the good ol "click on a magic screw" The old fashioned square button on the panel reminiscent of FSX (i joke i joke) Have the plane load in "if gear up", anchor auto deployed option in the tablet. Also you could put a rope that sits somewhere visible on the pontoon when the door is open. Click and drag the rope to "slew" the aircraft. Just my $.02 but even though my suggestions would be more work, the concept may pay off long term with other aircraft you may be thinking about for the future.

Good news, LEPA Palma De Mallorca Airport will get a MSFS 2024 version-customer support indicated it's in the works by the third-party developer who did it but no ETA for release.

I would love to see a Convair one day!

A Fokker 50 would complement the older, F27 Friendship Local Legend 23 perfectly!

@Airwick Right now it would be, but that will go away with the update.

No worries, maybe something is just broken in my install then. The joys of flightsimming...

That may be true. I just completed a flight using VORs only, and the FD/AP behaved the same way. Hunting for center. More of a concern though, was the AP dropping out of NAV mode to ROLL several times throughout the flight, even when close (20nm) from the VOR. And once from APP mode within 10nm of approach it dropped back into ROLL again.

@SadBucket

@hangar_101 It was my error. I had assigned F2 for the Chase Plane Fly-By input, which also happened to be the MSFS 2024 Default Thrust Reverser assignment. So of course I lost power when I did the Fly-By view. I just removed the Default Thrust Reverser assignment from the F2 binding to solve the issue as I don't use it in any case.

I imagine what you cannot see on the gauge is simulated if that's what you're asking.

I believe we are also getting a slight update with the adverse yaw in 1.1 so that you should not see the ball swing left when it should most probably swing right with power application... I don't think moving the indicator is in the cards unfortunately...

I highly recommend using a linear axis. The PT6 features a flight idle and ground idle position. Flight idle is to be used for eng start and as minimum idle while airborne. Ground idle can be used in lieu of braking at slow speeds to save on brake wear. The further beta detent is the full reverse thrust you would use when landing. It is highly recommended you bind that as a button input to "Throttle 1 Decrease". On the HC Bravo you can use the detent at the bottom end of the axis as it acts as a button depress. I also recommend leaving unrestricted beta range OFF and instant beta on touchdown ON in the tablet so you can leave the throttle at idle into the landing and simply press the reverse thrust button bind to activate reverse thrust after touchdown. You can also bind Throttle 1 Idle to activate on release so the throttle returns to the ground idle position on release of the button. I find this is the best way to use the Black Square aircraft.

I don't see any way to bind the elevator trim switch natively in the sim, and I also can't find a way to bind it with Axis and Ohs. Watching sim events through AaO, it appears pushing the trim switch with a mouse click activates the same sim events as using the trim wheel. The only thing I can find in the Behaviors inspector that differentiates the trim switch is for animating it. Otherwise all I see is that the switch activates K:ELEVATOR_TRIM_SET, which is also activated by the trim wheel. It's possible there's a way to do it via an RPN script (which you'd also need external software for) but I don't know how. My coding years are far behind me, so maybe (hopefully) someone else can pop into this thread and tell us I'm wrong.

Yeah I'd love an actual paintkit with layers but not sure if bksq ever releases those. I don't like doing it all with blender.

After more testing with the F15 v1.9.1 all looks good just like the F16 mentioned above. The flight model is vastly improved over the previous version. Now in comparing these birds to other fighters released for MSFS (warbirds included) the Airshow Assistant wingman weapons problem is a non issue. From the Heatblur F14, Indiafoxtecho F35, and EF2000, I can find no offering where there's this kind of incompatibility with Airshow Assistant. Wingmen show fully loaded with weapons as presented from the main aircraft the user is flying. Again, whatever was done on DC's end a few versions back it would be nice to see that method return.

I'm not using 3rd party avionics but the GNS530/430 combo and the autopilot here doesn't react on it's own baro settings, too.
