v1.1 Update Details
-
I just checked the current version, and it should be impossible for the aircraft to display those messages on v1.1. This means that some files are not being overwritten when you try to install the new version. To confirm this, you could look at any of the panel.cfg files, such as in "...\Community\bksq-aircraft-pistonduke\SimObjects\Airplanes\bksq-aircraft-grandduke\panel.base"
If this file contains the text "WtGnsSu15Warning", then we know what didn't get updated. As for what to do about that... I could send you the files to fix it yourself, but I would much rather figure out why your installer is not working, since it means that other files might be outdated too. Please feel free to check the contents of that file, and then I might have to pass you off to Just Flight support, since I know nothing about how the installers work. I'm sure they will have seen this sort of issue before, as they've been using similar installers for many years now. Thanks for staying in touch.
@Black-Square I'm using the turbine duke I pasted in a directory listing at the bottom. My community folder has a symbolic link ( junction) to the actual location of the files on my E drive. The only "community" add on referencing these avionics is pms50-instrument-gtn750
****The only two files containing that warning text are these.

That's a good trick with the symbolic link. I remember setting that up for X-Plane years ago.
This is a truly bizarre issue. Are you sure you don't have a second copy of the v1.0 Turbine Duke somewhere on your computer that is somehow being loaded and superseding the one in this linked community folder?
Could you send me the contents of the panel.cfg files in any of the panel directories, please?

//The tail number can be positioned on the winglets, the tail, or on the sides of the aircraft, or any combination at the same time.
//Each position ("s" = side, "t" = tail, and "w" = winglets) has the following associated variables:
//"v" = whether to show the tail number in that position (0=false, 1=true)
//"x" = the nose-tail position of the tail number
//"y" = the top-bottom position of the tail number
//"r" = the rotation of the tail number (will accept decimals)
//"k" = shears the tail number, positive values shear top towards tail
//"s" = the font size of the tail number
//Example "tk=30": t = tail, k = skew. This will shear the tail number on the tail towards the tail of the aircraft by 30 degrees
//For livery creators, the tail number will not automatically resize, so make sure there is room for a full six character number
//Apologies for the short variable names. MSFS seems to cap URL's at around 215 characters.
//Tail Number Positioning:
//Side +X -> Forward, -Y -> Up
//Tail -X -> Forward, -Y -> Up
//Wing -X -> Forward, -Y -> Up
//NOTE: These values can be easily edited live using the Coherent GT Debugger from the MSFS SDK.[VPainting02]

Thanks for posting those. The PMS50 folder is just the GTN 750 addon, which should have nothing to do with the message we're seeing here. From the panel.cfg that you posted, there should be absolutely no way for the aircraft to ever load my warning message. At this point, I suggest contacting Just Flight support, since they can look at your screenshots and directories to see what's going on here. If they can't get anywhere, they will bring me in the loop again when we have more information. From what I'm seeing here, I'm still betting that there is another copy of the v1.0 aircraft somewhere that the simulator is loading instead of this one. That seems like the only way to me that it could ever load the old v1.0 warning message.
Unless... you're not using a custom livery installed in the community folder, are you?

@Black-Square There are a couple of 3rd party liveries in community. Not sure how often I use them but they do reference version 1.0
"dependencies": [
{
"name": "Turbine Duke N80WE",
"package_version": "1.0"
}
],
"content_type": "AIRCRAFT",
"title": "Turbine Duke N80WE",
"manufacturer": "MANUFACTURER",
"creator": "ryanbatc", -
The liveries could only cause the v1.0 message to load if you were using them while testing this issue. Otherwise, they should have no effect. Since you were able to conduct a global search for text strings before, do you think you could search for the following string in all *.cfg files on your system, or anywhere you think there is even a small chance of there being MSFS related files?

I use Agent Ransack. In the following results, this path is my own and MSFS should be unaware of it "D:\MSFS FROM LAPTOP\Aircraft"

Very interesting. Thank you for sharing the solution, and I'm glad it's working for you. Could you share a link or the exact name of that livery so I can see exactly what was happening behind the scenes?

@Black-Square Duke IFA_Q0VMU.rar
https://flightsim.to/file/75050/infinity-airways-blacksquare-turbine-dukeI'm thinking the "autopilot issue" has nothing to do with liveries/avionics messages. I still sometimes get the AP showing the go around light lit "GA" but if I get it into altitude hold first, then I can usually go from there to attitude hold. So it's either I'm not understanding how it works, or it's a bit "fiddly" and I have to remember how to finesse it.
-
Thank you for sharing the exact livery. As for the autopilot, I have very rarely seen what you are describing. The issue is that Asobo provides no way for aircraft developers to detect whether the flight director is in go-around mode. This means that I detect it by process of elimination. In the Dukes, the autopilot should always default to pitch mode, meaning that "GA" will only display if you activate it. However, I saw some circumstances where this could be defeated, particularly by external hardware. I don't know if that matches your situation at all, but the short version is: Due to MSFS's limitations, the autopilot may appear to be in Go-Around mode, when it's actually in no mode at all.
