    Good morning. I had no AP in the Black Square 208. As shown somewhere in the forum I changed the wording in the Working-title file and the AP now seems to work.

    But I no longer have the GNS 530 (blank screen). Have installs from Marketplace and Content Manager, have un-installed and reinstalled the 208 more than once, have tried with nothing in the Community folder except the black square 208.

    It works in other aircraft.

    Need the GNS 530 - any suggestions would be great TIA.

    I'm having the same issue, but with all my avionics. I have the stock 2020 Caravan files copited into my Community folder. I'm in MSFS2024 using Blacksquare. Most things work, but the avionics is dead.

    @tabletopandroid It's been working great for me with 2020 Asobo Caravan and the Black Square Caravan both in my Community folder, but at some point (maybe a sim update?) the sim disabled the 2020 Caravan and re-enable the 2024 Caravan... so if you haven't already checked, look in your Marketplace/My Library listings and make sure the correct Caravan is enabled. Not sure if this helps @Bigmarty at all (if he hasn't figured it out yet), as he didn't specify 2020 or 2024.

    Appreciate the replies. My problem as mentioned above was in Msfs 2020. I have since been successful in getting the BS Caravan over to Msfs 2024 and so far everything seems to be working well in 24.

    Do you have a backup copy of the original files you changed? The changes that were discussed here (at least the AP and mode selection ones I'm aware of) haven't been needed for a while; the latest copy of the Caravan installer has the correct files. If something was mistyped along the way it might have broken the 530 on board.
