Well, I for one enjoy all the interior and exterior details being added to scenery these days. In my experience and opinion, and for ME, it adds to the simulation immersion experience. But then, what the heck do I know. After all I am just some 'kid' with 30 years of real-world military experience and four combat tours (with more firefights than I can count) that these developers are obviously marketing to. 😒🤷‍♂️

Okay, here is my suggestion. Download Input Viewer from Flightsim.To Input Viewer - Utilities for MSFS | Flightsim.to. This will install a very useful but minimal resource app in MSFS24. Install into Community folder, and then start a flight in the Cowan 76 and from your inflight menu bar you can start the Input Viewer. Then fly using your gamepad, and watch the Input Viewer to see what kind of movements are going on. You can use this to rule out whether or not your gamepad is causing flight control problems (or any controller for that matter). I own and fly this bird and do not have the control problems you describe.

I am a long time A2A user and have also been using BS aircraft since the beginning back in 2020 with the steam overhaul packages. I love them both, and I agree with a lot of the others who say A2A has a slight edge in the flight model department. However, BS definitely makes more interesting planes and also develops them a bit faster. In the time it took BS to make the seven(?) planes they did, A2A has only come out with two. Now, I love the Comanche and it is iconic, but kind of bored with it now. The Aerostar just does not do it for me at all. A2A has a history of making planes I was not necessarily a fan of, but then I flew them in Accusim mode, and then I was hooked. The A2A Aerostar has never done that for me. And I also agree with another person that posted earlier that the Aerostar textures are subpar for the level of standard that A2A has set for themselves. It just does not have that Accusim "it" factor. Subsequently, when I want to fly a twin, I fly the BS Baron or Duke. Have a tubeliner type itch, then it's the Starship. Bush flying, the Caravan. See the pattern? About the only BS aircraft I don't fly are helicopters. Now if BS DID start developing choppers, well then, we'd be talking. But, in the heli world we have Taog, which is basically BS in chopper disguise 😁

Purchased about an hour ago, and one short flight so far. Beautiful bird, seems to work very well, flies smooth within MSFS 2024, nicely detailed with great sounds and fun to fly thus far. @UrgentSiesta As far as I am aware, there IS a rotor cone implemented in a proper helo manner. If you watch the preview stream that Matthew Crawford did about a week ago with Dan from Miltech along in the stream, that very topic is discussed and demonstrated.

Oh, so exciting!!! 😁

I haven't forgot about this airport Vincent, I love your Placerville version! Thank you @vbazillio for the update! Going to download, update and check it out right now 😊

This is welcome news! I have been looking forward to this release for a while now.

Well then, I am glad to hear it helped! Happy flying 👍😊

Would love to! In my case, the problem was self-induced. Mind you, I had dug into MSFS 2024 settings over and over ensuring I didn't miss some hard-to-find AI radio setting or some such. But I had everything set right. Then I scrubbed all my button and key bindings, seeing if I had inadvertently assigned "toggle pushback" to a control or something. Nope, that was not the case either. I use Chaseplane, FSRealistic and FlowPro, so I next looked into all of those to make sure there was not some hidden pushback setting. Nope, not that I could find. Then, taking a break from investigating, I conducted a sim flight. During my cruise phase (I was in the Blacksquare Caravan, not that it matters) I happened to open the MSFS ATC chat window and I noticed that my request for a touch and go was approved. What the....I didn't request any such thing. I don't even use the in-sim ATC except maybe to check weather now and then. But somehow, I had hit the key to request a touch and go. Then it hit me. I use all the number keys on my keyboard to assign my more common Chaseplane views. I forgot that the default MSFS keyboard profile has most of the number keys assigned to select options in the ATC window. The number 1 key is what I assign to my main pilot view, and the 2 and 3 keys are usually side panels and a zoomed in look on the instruments. I use those three view keybinds a lot. So, apparently, that is how I have been unknowingly requesting pushback, through the ATC window, even with AI Communications turned off, and not having the ATC window open. I don't use the MSFS ATC system at all, but there is no way to turn it off. All you can do is turn the volume down, which is what I did. So, I was not hearing that I was accidentally making these requests through the MSFS ATC system every time I hit the number keys for my views. I haven't encountered this situation sooner, because I used to assign all my views to various buttons on my controllers. But, I have rearranged my desk lately, and my keyboard is now better suited for this task, so that is why it was a situation created by me. Once I went in and unassigned those keybinds from selecting ATC options, all was good. No more mysterious pushbacks. Hopefully something in my information can help you solve your problem 😊

If anyone wants to know, all they have to do is ask politely 😊 And to be honest, I didn't think anyone was interested since no one responded (helpfully) in the first place.

Disregard, I may have found the culprit....confirming now. EDIT: Solved.

Does anyone know why the AI copilot assistance would be calling for pushback even when I have confirmed that I have the AI Assistance turned off? I for the life of me cannot figure this out. Ever since SU5, every single aircraft that can be pushed back that I have tried, the AI will get on the radio and call for pushback no matter what I do. I have Googled this issue over and over, and there is nothing current related to my issue.

All good my friend 😊

Thank you Tony, but that post you quoted of mine was from 2025...lol. I have since been aware of Flo Pro being available for MSFS 2024 and have been using it since its release. But thanks for ensuring I was aware at any rate 😊

Yes, Blackbird was formerly Milviz. They rebranded a year or two ago if I recall. Officially, they are Blackbird Simulations (BBS).
