I've recreated my flight now in the original 2020 version so I'll leave it at that I think and not bother with the upgrade, I enjoyed it though, but maybe take the cessna caravan next time.

Yes, the Black Square Caravan with that lovely Scotflight scenery will be a memorable flight!

Rick, while looking at their website I'm sure I saw a file to download called something like GTN750 patch, might be worth a look as it may sort your issue.

 

@JYW yep, I've just recreated my flights from Thursday, I have to say the scenery in this sim is absolutely outstanding , doing the flight in VR it was an almost identical experience. Scotflight  freeware scenery for all the airports installed.

The islander I went in G-BLNI had very nice analogue engine instrument and a couple of GTN 650s I think they were.

I set the same power setting of 23/23 for cruise I saw in  the real Islander, that was doing about 95kts, the black box version about 120kts so yes very overpowered.

Good catch, and I did find it. But I have the PMS version and their patch is for the TDS one - thanks!

Hi,

did someone try to use GTN patch for the 2024 version? On my end, the patch install a BN-2 Turbo Prop folder, but without a manifest.json. Therefore, the Turbo Prop Version does not show up and neither does the option for the GTN. I tried reinstalls, downloads without anti virus, but the patch never creates a manifest.json.

After owning the Islander and the Trislander in 2000 and the Islander in 2024, I've finally stopped flying their planes. The lack of quality, the ignoring of customer requests, and the very few updates and patches make other vendors look much better.

I've had the same problem, it doesn't work.

As Ricka47 said, I've given up on them. 

Yes.  The 2024 version has not been well received, with some people saying it is not as good as the 2020 version even.

I used to like BlackBox as they were always prepared to have a go at aircraft others wouldn't, like the Bulldog and shorts 330/360 etc., but they just don't keep up with the sim and general customer expectations.  Obviously, I don't expect miracles from them, but they just seem to come up short.

Yes it’s a shame really because their choice of aircraft, Islander, trilander, SD360 and twin pioneer are all things I like.

It is indeed a shame; those are all fun aircraft, and I did like the Islander and the Trislander much better in 2020. But, Blacksquare, SWS, FSReborn, FlightFX, JustFlight, NextGen, and others are just in a whole different league in terms of quality and service.

I agree. I flew both versions for some time and the 2020 version seems indeed better than the 2024 version.

Unfortunately, the support is non existent, the Turbo Version and the GTN are not useable.
