Thanks, and BTW I highly recommend Jim Goldman's (yes the lead dev of the old FSD International) king air prop disc textures....  the default as shown in your pic are awful.

It's perhaps a little too glossy, not entirely sure what you mean. I'm just very happy to have some more liveries. Eventually I'll have to figure out how to get the tail number recognized by ATC. 

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the prop disc whilst spinning. Btw that link requires a login.

Do you feel the Steam Gauge Overhaul package gives you $38.99 of improvement over the default King Air?

If so, where does the value come from?

Yes. Absolutely. I've flown their analog Caravan more than any other aircraft for the last 1-2 months. This is of the same fidelity. The systems depth is amazing. They've implemented state saving, a comprehensive failures package (if you're into that), working circuit brakers... The flight model with JayDee's tweaks is really good. The aircraft can be handled on the ground easily which can not be said of the default version. It's a very versatile IFR aircraft without any avionics addons. With the TDS GTNXi it's complete. You can go anywhere, do a world tour if you'd like.

It's got a pressurized cabin, can climb to FL350, it's fast, climbs easily at 3000fpm, it can land on relatively short runways, got a "sort of" working beta range (Asobo limitations)... I could go on and on. I highly recommend it - and get the FTSim+ sounds - the default sounds don't do justice to the turbine engines.

I really hope Black Square is not working on any more steam gauge overhauls for default aircraft, or I'll have to quit my day job or retire early to have enough time to fly them 🙂

EDIT: Back on v.0.1.0 and TDS is not working, go figure. I'm in contact with TDS over at their discord. 

EDIT2: Got a very quick answer from the devs:

We can confirm that this is a SU11 Beta/DX12 bug that is work in progress for the MSFS team. This is not an issue on our end, so we must wait for the proper SU11 release in order to have proper functionality, as this issue affects all other add-ons using WASM/glass as well, not just us.

This is the problem with installing early betas and the reason for a beta, unexpected/new problems occur. And when they do not depend on the add-on developer, there must be patience

of course, the solution with SU11 Beta is to revert to DX11 and all will be fine

Went back to DX12 and everything is fine. Earlier today it was fine in DX12 though. Oh well, beta testing...

That's strange. Not really sure what's happening - mod conflict? Perhaps head over to the tread in the official forums to see if others are having the issue https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/steam-gauge-overhaul-king-air-350i/548884/235

Pressurization seems to be working too now. And like with the Caravan they got help with the flight dynamics from JayDee👌

Seems like something's up with the right propeller though - something's missing? Engine's working fine though - amost at FL300. It looks so much like a stormtrooper, made me listen to Empire as background music 

EDIT: The TDS suddenly became unresponsive. Restarting the .exe didn't help. I'm 100% analog now, going for Faro VOR and shooting an ILS approach to rwy 28. Then going back to the first version, good thing I didn't delete it. 

That is one sexy plane. Air porn! 

For those who struggle. Fix on official forum has been posted.

Go to the bottom of engine.cfg and replace corresponding line to

n1_to_shaft_torque_table = 0:0, 62:0.03, 95:1, 100:1.1, 110:1.25 ; Corrected N1 → Shaft Torque ; JAYDEE 0.8

Also there in interesting surprise. Windshield wiper actually clear rain! Is that King Air feature or all Asobo aircraft have it now?

All owners of the Analog King Air -  Today has been frustrating, the excellent update became unstable soon after release and we released a quick hotfix, that helped some bits but caused other issues, which you've been experiencing. Black Square, with help from volunteers have worked frantically for the past few hours to get things sorted.  We think that's happened now so a new version has been uploaded and you should head to your account and redownload.  The version is still numbered 0.1.1.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Today was sent to test us, that's for sure.  Here's a direct message from Nick at Black Square:

SPECIAL THANKS TO JAYDEE AND NICOTINE70 – When v1.1 was released, there was a bug that would prevent the engines from starting.  This was the result of an undocumented change to the engines.cfg file in SU11 Beta, which all the developers and testers of the Analog King Air just happened to be subscribed to.  This allowed the bug to go unnoticed until release.  As soon as the bug was reported, it took the hard work of my volunteers, and cooperation of many on the forums to find the error, and fix it.  We are very sorry for this interruption in your enjoyment of the Analog King Air, and hope that you will now be able to enjoy the new v1.1 features and improved flight characteristics in this aircraft.  Thank you all for your patience.

i think it's a black square feature. Saw it in one of the early video's.

Hey no worries. It seems like a solid product, just needs some tweaking. All good. Thanks for keeping us informed here at Avsim (and replying to my ~5 support tickets today in the middle of this). 🙂

Any dev that would go through the effort of reaching out on discord to personally test something will get my $$$ every time. Great work on the KA and Caravan both. Thanks for the efforts! 😎

Must be a nightmare for devs just now.... Hopefully after SU11 is out the way they get a break for awhile.

Tail number is not recognized because cleared out the ATC ID line in the aircraft.cfg.  I had to do this because otherwise you'll see a white dynamic registration display over top the hand painted one in the exterior view.  There is a way around this if I use a custom panel.cfg but when I do this you get white screens with GNS or PMS gtn.

I noted something about a panel.noreg in the new update but haven't read it yet.  It may allow me to add the atc ID back in with a custom panel.cfg.

No worries. 

Since installing 1.1b the engines won't start. I have to use Cntrl+E. I'm on SU10 and not in the beta anymore. 
 

Shouldnt there be separate versions of the plane for SU10 and SU11?

I think a lot of people are having issues with the engines, something the developer has admitted. We'll just have to wait for another update. I would go back to 0.1.0 for now. PM me if you need the installer. 

Engine starts with 0.1.1b and SU10 works fine for me.
