Gets us a free climb and descent.

Those SDK changes seem promising to my untrained eye, hopefully they're a step towards fixing things in the sim like how you can't reduce RPM in the TBM and compensate with torque; you'll just bleed off airspeed anyway. Of course, I'm sure they're subject to change without notice (or documentation) until SU5 drops

@Rich Hi Rich! I think I have noticed a bug with new installers you're using for the Caravan Pro. On initial install, you can select a custom directory, which I did for v1.0. However, after downloading the updated v1.1 installer from the website just now, here is what happened. Normally, the installers can handle updates themselves without having to uninstall the old version. However, this time, even though it said in the installers UI that is was updating from v1 to v1.1 - it did not respect my original custom directory. It deleted the old v1.0 files, and then installed the new v1.1 into the MSFS 2024 community folder like the legacy installers would. Could it be rectified so that when updating an existing addon with InstallShield, it respects your custom install directory of the existing installed addon? Thank you

The essential MSFS 2024 settings for FS Traffic can be found on page 9 of the FS Traffic Operations Manual: https://downloads.justflight.com/products/JFF003616/FSTraffic_MSFS_manual.pdf Looking at the screenshots you have provided, we would recommend setting Traffic Type to OFF in the first screenshot (this is a requirement for FS Traffic to prevent the simulator from generating its own default traffic in addition to FS Traffic). In the second screenshot, we would recommend that every setting from Character Quality down to Fauna Density be set to OFF or LOW. Most of these aren't a requirement (apart from Parked Aircraft Quantity, which generates default aircraft at gates), but we recommend setting these to their lowest settings for the best performance, as well as to reduce the likelihood of MSFS reaching a hard-coded limit on how many objects can be loaded in the simulator at any one time. Hope that helps. Mark - Just Flight

Hi there, I've since discovered that the effect can be modified by changing the entry in the aircraft.cfg file: effect.0 =Exhaust_1#(A:GENERAL ENG COMBUSTION:1, boolean)#FX_ASOBO_M_REACTORHEAT_CAP10 effect.1 =Exhaust_2#(A:GENERAL ENG COMBUSTION:1, boolean)#FX_ASOBO_M_REACTORHEAT_CAP10 For example you can change it into: effect.0 =Exhaust_1#(A:GENERAL ENG COMBUSTION:1, boolean)#FX_ASOBO_HEAT_BIG effect.1 =Exhaust_2#(A:GENERAL ENG COMBUSTION:1, boolean)#FX_ASOBO_HEAT_BIG While the intensity is now almost perfect for me, the exhaust stream is too far away from the exhaust pipe... Is there any way to move the stream closer to the pipe? Thanks in advance! Best regards

@BorisAudio Thank you! I dont like complaining about your work because I know you put alot of time and effort in to your sounds, but i felt like I had to say something

I haven’t come across any videos showcasing the v1.1 update just yet, but from your description, it sounds like exactly what I’ve been hoping for with the beta sounds. I’ll definitely keep an eye out for some footage and give it a listen when I can. Out of curiosity, do you have any kind of timeline (even a rough one) for rolling these sound updates out across your other aircraft, given your schedule?

It would be great to have a single tablet solution. Perhaps the BlackSquare tablet features could be integrated into the MS tablet, similar to what Sky4Sim has done. The new SWS Kodiak, for example, already includes the MS tablet mounted on the yoke. Since the MS tablet supports Navigraph charts, SimBrief, and other plugins, having everything unified in one device would be extremely convenient. Just sharing my thoughts.

@Black-Square Sounds good.

@Voice-of-Reason said in First impressions from a 1000+ hour Caravan driver.: @jmarkows Don't tempt him. Black Square NB-36H... Now that would be FUN. But Nick would probably swim the Atlantic just to clip me round the head for even suggesting it.

This is intended as a usability feature, so unfortunately, the only way to disable it is to disable tooltips in MSFS settings. We'll add this to our internal feature request tracker to see if there are any changes we can make to this tooltip in a future update. Mark - Just Flight

@scottb No - but if you need Support for a Just Flight or Just Trains product, your best bet is always to contact their support. See: https://www.justflight.com/support

@Black-Square it is not a major issue. At least I now know it isn’t a bug. The overall quality of your caravan is exceptional. At least I know now that there are no exterior sounds on the doors. If they could be added then that would add to the immersion..but equally I could easily live without them.

Please no. It might be funny for a short time but will become a anoyance on long flights. Or at least make it optional like in the LearJet 35a. You can turn it off within the tablet. I would turn it off immediately!

@kityatyi said in Update is out: Also, I thought we'd get visible pax Sorry to disappoint, but there are several threads on this forum about the functionality that was removed in MSFS 2024 that led me to the difficult decision not to include passenger models in my aircraft. Luckily, one of my industrious users has created a mod, which serves as a great option for those of us who don't want to fly with an empty cabin.

@Rich Thanks, Rich!

Nothing should have changed in that department, and I haven't seen that behavior myself, however, the MSFS 2024 payload and pilot entering/exiting the aircraft is very poorly implemented in my estimation. There are at least a few topics on the developer support forum that pertain to this kind of issue.

Nothing should have changed in that department. I've seen it working for me recently, but the Caravan's gear being bouncy sometimes makes it challenging to engage beta on unimproved surfaces. There's a note about this in the manual's FAQ, recommending unrestricted beta mode for bush flying.

Thanks Nick. Seems you may be right. I loaded up the 2024 version to use the 24hr historical weather, and tested it a little further. For reference it was at CYWL in the early hours just before sunrise yesterday (though dev mode might allow you to force icing). This time, I ran the right prop heat. Same result. Both props picked up speed. So a single system for now. The failures tab has only a single entry for "prop deice" so that is a clue too. Perhaps you ran into that when programming the aircraft. I also tried failing it, for science. To my surprise, the gauge still registered current and the system still worked - props picked up RPM. So that may be another one to check as part of the same investigation. A somewhat unimportant detail not to lose sleep over, but I can imagine that it'll bug you now you know it's there (sorry) Thanks, Martyn

Hi Martyn, Thanks for your answer, First things first, of course ! Best, Adrien.
