Caravan Professional changelog - v1.1 released 30.03.26
-
Thanks so much for the great update! Time to fly the beautiful bird up the Alaskan Panhandle.
-
Amazing update! Thank you for this. I’m now able to climb out of aspen fully loaded without destroying my engine with high ITT OR stalling out.
-
Can’t wait to fly it later today! It’s my first properly realistic GA addon and it’s been nothing but exciting so far!
BTW, since you’re already correcting typos here and there - in the EFB on the ELEC page, it says „altOrnator bus”

Kudos @Black-Square

@ironlemon Good! You had me worried there for a moment, haha.
Thanks, guys! As I've said before, these updates can feel like a thankless task, so your thanks always go a long way towards assuaging that feeling. I saw someone on the official forums last week assume that I only work weekdays 9-5, which amused me greatly
Thank you all so much, and most of all, I hope you enjoy the update this week!

The sounds! OMG! I'm surprised I managed to start it without blowing the engine. Epic!
Fortunately it's different enough to my other favorites (all Beechcraft's - of course) that it won't tread on their toes!
Now... if I could get those sounds in the TBM...

Nick can't keep avoiding us forever! There are dozens of us, dozens!

Haha, there might not be many of you, but I think about you often! I actually had an idea about that this week, so there might finally be some progress in that direction.

If you don't mind my asking, what's stopped it from being a reality already? You've had a working relationship with Boris since you moved away from using stock models and sounds, are you just keeping him that busy with the various upcoming irons in the fire?
I, personally, don't mind the current TBM sound pack (but I was also fine with the original Maddog sounds and can't carry a tune, so), but I do miss the noise dampening headphones you've spread throughout the fleet.

You've hit the nail on the head. Boris and I have talked about it, and he knows that it's something I want to do eventually, but I also recognize that I would rather continue working with Boris than overwhelm him by trying to work on too many things at once.

Thanks to Nick and Boris for what is obviously very hard work over the last week. I really like the new adjustments to the sounds for beta, etc. But for one thing... there's a new "wvvvrrrrwvrrvvrrrrrw" prop buzz sound in the interior that...I absolutely HATE.
Sorry for being so emphatic, but it's a really grating and annoying sound that I DO NOT want to hear while cruising along. The turbine Bonanza has the same thing and, TBH...IT SUCKS. That sound was not there in Caravan 1.0, so I assume this was the result of user feedback?
I have endured two ~30 min flights IRL in the back of a Caravan (BFI-FHR with Kenmore, and HNL-JHM on Mokulele) without earplugs, so per my recollection, that's just not a sound you can hear. I remember mostly high-pitch sounds. Lots of wind noise--hissing--because the Caravan's unpressurized, but also another high frequency that I attributed to the internal sound of the engine. I could feel the vibration from the propeller in the airframe, and through my body... but there was never a "wrrrvrrwvrrr" drone in my ears. I really liked the V1.0 sounds, the beta/reverse stuff was really the only issue (FS2020).
FWIW, I just don't see the need to add the airplane's outside noises to the inside of the airplane when there are vents and things that are implemented in the sound system where a user could choose to incorporate those sounds on their own.
