February 17, 20251 yr Thanks, I’ve been using it for a while in FS24, but as I’m not using the beta Version I have the issue with dark instruments so always fly around as the sun is going down. Its probably my favourite aircraft in the sim. 787 captain. Previously 24 years on 747-400.Technical advisor on PMDG 747 legacy versions QOTS 1 , FS9 and Aerowinx PS1.

I’m curious if it’s a scenario like the T38C withdrawal or something else. Hmm... They made some veiled allusion to difficulties bringing it forward in one of their recent videos. No explanation at all, tho. They previously said the production costs on this addon were high, and the revenue was low. Not sure if that has anything to do with it. It's still a great add-on, and I'd hate to see it go to MilViz/BlackBird purgatory as they done a few times in the past... P.s.: still no sign of their excellent T-38C from P3D (though they did once show it flying in the sim). The outlook there is even cloudier as they reported they don't know if they'll be able to release it for MSFS at all.

I've just installed it for the first time in MSFS2024 as it is fully functional in v1.5.0 and I'm loving it again. You can get the latest version on Discord or their forums if you bought it from them before. No details as to why...?
February 23, 20251 yr Hi all - I am having a very very slow going trying to figure out all the unnecessary LVARS Blackbird uses on the T6A Texan II. Heading Sync a good example - none of the standard event bindings work. The LVAR I see in Developer Mode - 'SS_IE_BASE_T6A_EFIS_HDG" does not work in any of the combinations I used. Heading Sync is AP basic. Why is this MADE so hard?
March 25, 20251 yr Anyone know if this works in 2024?

March 25, 20251 yr Ok I'm looking at the manuals right now. 51 pages for the GPS! Wowzers lol!

March 25, 20251 yr It's great in 2024. A very overlooked add on in my opinion. Challenging to fly well and stunning modelling, textures and sound. 9950X3D - X870E Aorus Master- TUF 5090 OC - 64GB DDR5 - 1500W HXi - Titan 360 RX LCD - 9100 Pro x 2 - LG 45GX950A - HOTAS Warthog with Ava Base
March 25, 20251 yr It has the best propeller disk I’ve seen in a simulation.It actually looks like a prop disc does in flight , rather than looking like a simulation of a video of a prop disk. The sounds as mentioned are great, it’s a very immersive aircraft in VR, and a great instrument platform. All in all my favourite aircraft in the sim so far. 787 captain.

March 25, 20251 yr I believe it had their ADV external flight model so it’s very good, it probably won’t beat DCS , but it certainly feels very solid and pleasant to fly. 787 captain. Previously 24 years on 747-400.Technical advisor on PMDG 747 legacy versions QOTS 1 , FS9 and Aerowinx PS1.
March 25, 20251 yr These are my kinda aircraft. Fast singles! I found a beech demonstrator N3000B paint that I really want to use. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

Yes, and they just patched it (again) about 2 weeks ago. 👍 It's a deceptively "simple" aircraft to operate, and really a worthwhile purchase. Makes for a great high speed touring aircraft - fast turboprop performance combined with a "high" G-tolerant airframe for when you want to canyon carve. And don't let yourself get behind the power curve around the pattern on this one - it'll bite if it's not flown on the numbers 🙂

Approved? It's very good for MSFS and I enjoy it. Would buy again due to the sophistication of the addon. And it certainly performs "on the numbers" for the most part. For pure flying "feel", I do somewhat prefer the AoA version in X-Plane. But that one isn't as deeply simulated as the MilViz/BBS one in MSFS (nor is it nearly as gorgeously rendered). Compared to warbirds in DCS World...? My fave flight model is actually the Yak-52 ("not a warbird", i know), but DANG is it fun to fly! Probably Spitfire after that for pure joy to fly, and so on down the line. In re the BBS Texan II, I derive the most satisfaction from trying to fly it "by the book". I.e., It seems like the closer i'm flying to the NATOPs & CNATRA procedures, the better I feel. Decidedly unscientific, but I do choose to fly that airframe in MSFS quite frequently 🙂
