New update to Black Square TBM 850

Change log:
 

v1.4 - MSFS 2024 Compatibility & Altitude Selector Update

New Features:

- Added preflight/walk-around interactivity for MSFS 2024 including collision model, clickspots for engine covers, pitot covers, chocks, door handles, baggage doors, etc.

- Overhauled behavior of the KAS 297B to implement vertical speed arming.  See the “Bendix/King KAS 297B Altitude Selector” section of this manual for more information.

- NEW Magnetic Compass Effects including physics filtering and erratic behavior from onboard magnetic fields.  See the “Magnetic Compass Effects” section of this manual for more information.

- Added GTNxi 750 & 650 bezels and improved model switching technique.

- Added Ear Discomfort Index to the cabin visualizer page of the tablet interface.

- Interior lighting completely retooled for MSFS 2024.

- Added persistence to tablet payload unit switch between sessions.

- Implemented custom toe brake animations and sounds to prevent jittery or looping animations when hardware brakes are used in conjunction with the parking brake.

- Added engine driven fuel pump failure and corresponding engine visualizer behaviors.

- Changed torque calculation source variable for faster torque indication changes.

- Workaround to fix MSFS 2024 light flare bleed-through.

- Added tablet option to enable exterior registration meshes in MSFS 2024.  There is a hard-coded bug in MSFS 2024 that interferes with the ultra-custom dynamic registration system in Black Square aircraft.  Sim Update 3 failed to resolve this issue, but a potential fix may be in the works for Sim Update 4.  Currently, the dynamic registration may work depending on how the aircraft was loaded.

Bug Fixes:

- During a complete electrical failure, some essential variables would fail to update.  This included fundamental variables used to drive Black Square’s advanced engine simulation, sounds, avionics displays, and external hardware or displays.

- The air conditioning system would fail to operate on ground power alone, and cooling ability would not be affected by the speed of the cooling turbine.

- The cooling turbine depiction on the cabin visualizer did not respect the bleed air valve positions, and would spin up/down with the gas generator.

- The fuel pressure annunciator would extinguish when the fuel pump was running, even if there was no pressure indicated by the fuel pressure needle.  The fuel pump would also still cycle when there was no fuel pressure due to the tanks being empty, or the fuel selector being in the off position.
