Really enjoyed my first flight.  Will have to adjust my throttle calibrations in FSUIPC…as of now pulling it back to the stop puts it into beta rather than idle…did that accidentally when landing which resulted in a firm landing to say the least! 😀

90% of the proceeds go to the RFDS.

That's awesome thanks.

It must be something simple but for the life of me I can't see how to get the PMS 750 or 530 to show in the cockpit?  Is there an avionics options setting somewhere?

The light indicates the possibility of “chip” damage detected ie you are blowing metal (“chips”) from the coupling and it is detecting it…hence your blown up engines.

Yup I learned that the hard way in the Caravan. Need to look after the engines, never put torque beyond the red line. Also beware as the turbuprops spool up slower than piston engines so might have to reduce torque during takeoff roll.

- Volt meter is showing EXT PWR supply even when the EXT POWER switch is OFF and there is no GPU connected (user error or bug?)

I get that too - I think external power is connected by default for some reason. Had me confused for a while.

At the copilot's side.

@ryanbatc, 

I had issues with using the same 3rd party livery for the default and the analog Caravan; whenever I tried looking at the analog Caravan in the hangar using the duplicated livery, it would lock up the sim. Didn't do much troubleshooting beyond that, I just deleted that particular livery for the default Caravan. Edit: that resolved the lock-up issue.

If some of the 3rd party livery creators are using panel.cfg settings to remove the type-your-own registration, I'd imagine you can add those lines to the Black Square panel.cfg and accomplish the same thing. (I'm sure you've already thought of doing that...truth is, I hadn't, until you mentioned the panel.cfg. 

Yeah so what I've done to avoid having the panel.cfg is use the very specific "null characters" and spacing on the ATC ID line in the aircraft.cfg.  This clears out the exterior dynamic registration.  Downside is though that it clear the interior VC placard.

I did try having a panel.cfg in with the paint mod but then it shows pink interiors....  some of the MSFS texture fallback logic still alludes me honestly.

It’s one of our daily emergency items to discuss ….the good ol engine chip light. The TL:DR version: the reduction gearbox could potentially separate from the turbine shaft. The light indicates the possibility of “chip” damage detected ie you are blowing metal (“chips”) from the coupling and it is detecting it…hence your blown up engines.

Thanks Captain 

so how does one prevent that happening? on take off I put throttles to max for example…

can I carry on flying now? Or is the damage done!

appreciated

Why? What do likes do? Do you get a prize if you amass a certain number? I think saying thank you is much better.

PS If it means so much to you I'll give you a like. Wow! I've just noticed that you have lots of them.😂

Don't shove the throttles to max at takeoff. There's a max torque you should respect, I think it's indicated with a red line on the gauge.
I don't know what the POH says but in the sim you can continue the flight but if you keep exceeding  the max torque the problem will get worse until the engine is destroyed.
In real life you might need to land as soon as possible (or at least practical) to get the engine checked and possibly repaired. The cost of that alone should be a reason to take the max torque into account.

There's a freeware one at flightsim.to - I was just about to update it with my analogue mod but the site said I can only do 3 uploads per hour... the horror LOL

Anyway for anyone who's wanting liveries.... you can go to flightsim.to and Search by Beechcraft Kingair and sort by Newest... you should see a few start to show up that I modified.  These aren't my liveries but just pathways to make them appear with the new analogue king air. 

***Make sure to grab the original livery first***

yes, the winner gets a free download from flightsim.to

Thanks Ryan!

Thanks for doing this Ryan, I got your updated livery, looks great!
