Black Square Updates for MSFS2024

[Noob21]

Really hope we get an update on the state of the Starship before the new year

I have the Caravan analog mod. I've copied the 2020 Caravan files to 2024 community folder and can load the 2020 version. I tried to install Install_BKSQ_Caravan_MSFS_0.1.5.exe, but get the error that MSFS flight simulator not detected, UserCfg.opt file not found.
What else to I need to do to install the mod?

You need to move the files in the 2020 official folder for the caravan to your community folder in MSFS 2024 and it should work.

@Paulvanuf The Baron is not part of the base package in 2020, and as such has encrypted files.. That appears to be the stumbling block.

[Bert Pieke]

@Vinyl-Rabbit Even better is to copy the 2020 asobo caravan files to the 2024 "Official2020" folder. The BSQ files go into the Community folder as before.

@Bert-Pieke I heard that if you zip the encrypted files you can move the zipped file out of the folder. Then unzip em and place them in the appropriate community within FS2024. Not that I recommend doing that.

[Bert Pieke]

@Buzz Yes, you can do that, and it still does not work..

thanks for sharing this

@Black-Square Hello can You please release this version ? I'm sure, you have some updates ready
Did you wonder about paralel release for MSFS24, thanks!

Hi, It's been more than 2 months since MSFS 2024 released. We were promised a free compatible version of the Dukes. I know there were some showstoppers at the beginning. Are they still present? Why is there still no officially compatible version for 2024?

[Buzz]

@meurkel Probably because MSFS 2024 is FUBAR right now and any attempt to release an official supported version is a waste of everyone's time. Drop the duke in the 2024 community folder and see if it works for you.

And where did the dev ever promise we would get a free official 2024 compatible version of any BSQ addons?

[lilycrose]

He did say he was planning to update the Duke and TBM to 2024, but there wasn't a time frame.

[Buzz]

I found the answer to my own question about 20 posts up.

I cannot wait for the update , black square has the best planes.

[Villajota]

It seems there are some new Bonanza and Baron on the road to MSFS 2024. That's very good news!

Is there any possibility that they could be prepared for career mode? I miss your planes in career mode A LOT.

Will the Starship come to 2020? Any other 2020 updates? I realize the trend will move to 2024 over time, but for now the newer sim is troublesome and unstable. Also, will the King Air be brought to 2024? I know a lot of users want a King Air update. You have a lot of Black Square fans in the V1 Simulations Discord, including myself. We're currently doing a Duke tour: https://www.youtube.com/live/PXDDOUBrLhQ?si=H1O5K7PqfxAUOj74

Nvm, I see where the Starship will be released on both. Excellent news! I'm waiting for 2024 to become stable before I switch, so I'm glad to pay a smaller fee for both sims on any developed/updated aircraft.

Looking forward to the professional versions of the Caravan, Baron and Bonanza.

Just hoping the flightmodels also get a "professional" upgrade. These seemed to have been taken over from the default planes with some small tweaks. Especially with the single engine planes like the caravan who lack some proper engine torque (just take a look at the SWS Kodiak 100).

With all the features added and hopefully Career mode added in the future i would happily pay full price again for these addons.

Cheers,
André

Of course, Black Square would be the one to pull off the insanity that is a PT6'd Bonanza.

Thanks for making them for 2020 as well. I honestly can't wait to throw my wallet at you again.

[GunStrauss]

How is it with the TBM 850 and the Dukes, still a long way to go for official 2024 versions?

[ThargorV8]

I'd be happy to just see even one single plane finally get updated for 2024.
