A simple mod can make all the difference

Blacksquare did an amazing job on this aircraft but the default glass cockpit needed some love.  The most incomplete of Asobo's offerings has now been addressed:

King Air 350 G1000 Cockpit Mod for Microsoft Flight Simulator | MSFS

Can't believe I missed this for other a month.

Great find! I'll try it asap!

Been flying it for around a month.  There's already been a post on here about it a few weeks ago.

The G1000 implementation is fantastic, but in terms of other systems and flight model, the KS is still one of the weakest in the sim. Would love MS to have WT give it some love.   But for the most part, The Blacksquare version scratches the KA itch pretty satisfactorily.

Can this mod be used on the default Asobo King Air 350 model without the Blackksquare MOD?\Thanks

It IS for the default Asobo model. If you combine this mod with MGouge's flight model improvement mod (it's possible to merge them, as different files are involved), you get a decent KingAir with glass cockpit.

Yes it can.  It has nothing to do with Blacksquare's offering.🍺

What does KS stand for?

Thank you!  By the way here's a link for others to find it:

Thanks to the OP I grabbed this mod as I'm pretty familiar with the G1000 but by no means an experienced (sim) pilot, never really flown the KingAir so quickly ran through the checklist and up I went. 50ft into the flight and the avionics all went black, no idea what was going on (Bug or Human Error) so as I steadied the aircraft and flicked and pulled all manner of switches until eventually the thing came back to life, then I couldn't get the AP to function. Eventually realised I hadn't turned on the Avionics in my moment of madness post take off, then I kept getting the yellow warning about YD not being turned on, never come across this before so had to do a quick google and then switched on the Yaw Dampener.....you live and learn! As if that was bad enough further into the flight I get a warning about fuel tanks, one side had drained too much, again in my earlier hastiness I must've moved the button for fuel tank usage or something, I had wondered why the plane was listing to the left.

Aside all that it's nice to have another plane with a familiar setup, I've flown the Caravan so much the G1000 has become the norm to me, just the rest of aviation I still need to learn 😄

My guess is it was a typo meant to say "KA" for King Air. The S and A are next each other, so easy mistake to make.

Does anyone know if this mod also can be used with BKSQ KA350 package?
Does it enhance/replace the BKSQ flight model or is it incompatible?

The knobster (from Sweden I think, and they sell by Paypal) allows tuning the G1000 functions without a mouse. Great for VR for instance. But I guess if you have a 55" 4k monitor, then the mouse is easier to use... (I don't have a large monitor).

It's a typo for KA.
