Seeing it is 1 April, can I have a P51 civilian version please. My favorite GA plane in P3D 😁

I downloaded the manual and it states that the bottom 15% of the power puts the prop in beta range. For turboprops I prefer to assign beta and reverse to a separate joystick axis as this gives much better control. Is this possible with the the BlackSquare C208. I am tempted but need to decide if I should upgrade the Kodiak to MSFS 2024 spec of get the C208. For the price of the C208 I would hate to lose the feature to have separate controls for the reverser axis. Has anyone out there tried this configuration.

I found a function in the FMS where you can select if radio frequencies are automatically selected. Disabling this function solves the problem.

I was very exited when I saw the P180 is available in MSFS2024 is I love this unique plane and often flew it in P3D but I think that was a different developer. I am however somewhat disappointed after 4 flights as I am experiencing the following problems. 1. I have a licensed copy of Navigraph Charts but I can not get figure out how to use it on the tablet, it gives a code and although I entered the code on the linked Navigraph screen I am still presented with the page to link the code and I am only getting a a very basic default moving map. 2. When flying an ILS approach the NAV1 frequency suddenly changes in both both the active box and the the area where you change the frequency on the tuner and you suddenly have to re-enter the frequency and update the coarse. 3. It seem to to struggle capturing the autopilot track, often overshooting and then hunting for the track. 4. Non of the circuit breakers work. for the price I was expecting a bit more depth. Does anyone else have the same problems.

Same problem in South Africa at the moment. Unacceptable but good to see it is not just me.😡

I think making the pilot (and co-pilot) visible can only be done by customising your identity from the standard MFSF Profile menu.

I tried that fix but it did not work. Fortunately someone on the SWS Discord site pointed me to another panel mod download and that did the trick. The PC-12 is now back in the air. Looks like the problem is between SWS and ORBX. I like the ORBX installer as it normally works very well....

Updated the PC-12 from the ORBX site this morning and now my TDS GTN's are not showing. My favorite IRL plane and I like the SWS version but it is full of bugs and every time they fix one thing, something else breaks. Back into the hanger she goes 😡

There has been a recent update and a patch file available from the SWS discord site that fixes the electrical problems in MSFS 2024 SU4. I did not have the buss tie problems before SU4 and in MSFS 2020 though, not sure if the update caused the problem.

I am running Addon Linker for 2025. I noticed that the path I selected for my add-ons in MSFS 2024 changed. I tried to modify it in the MSFS settings but that made a bigger mess as it tried to move packages. Gave up and started with a clean slate. On big advantage is that the problem I has with the A2A Comanche where the tablet did not work properly now is fixed after I re-installed it. Will recover more add-ons as required.

I was very careful when I set up MSFS 2024 to locate my community folders on a separate drive and I created a separate folder structure for all my ORBX scenery but when I wanted to fly tonight all my add-on aircraft (A2A, SWS etc) are all gone. I checked add-on linker and they are showing green. Where do I start getting my content back. It is now getting more of hassle managing 2024 that it was managing P3D

After the upgrade I noticed that the TDSGTN was not installed any more but you now have a choice to select one or both of them.

Having the same problem at FACT. Glad to see it is not just me.

Had the same thing a while ago. Had to restart the PC to solve the problem. PS. I have not flown in 2024 for a while, waiting for the update.

Does Active Sky work in the career mode as well. It seems like the weather in career mode is locked.

I used both FSUIPC and SPAD.Next (SPAD.Next mainly to get my Saitek multi-panel working due to the lack of drivers at the time). For MSFS 2024 I decided to move over to SPAD exclusively as there are some things I could not figure out with FSUIPC.

Do not try to fly any career missions in Africa. Although it is indicated as a spring hotspot there are very few missions. I thought it would by fun to fly over the African bushveld but most missions result in disaster. One mission failed even before I got in the plane and the second attempt went well until I got to the destination only to find trees growing on the runway. I thought the system would be forgiving (like cars on the runway) but my attempt at landing resulted in a crash. That set back my career quite a bit.

Thought I would give career mode a go and started light cargo missions but was a bit disappointed that all missions had clear skies (even when selecting the clouds option) with no wind whatsoever. Was getting a bit boring. I saw somewhere that getting your IFR rating will unlock weather options and did that but now I am locked into real world weather with no option to select custom weather in case I want to fly a mission where the airports are IFR. I can not find a option to fly IFR missions and if I do take off I am denied permission to land because the airport is closed = failed mission. Is there a way to change the the option in career mode to custom weather.

What often happens to me is that the game would load all the way to 100% but then the option to start is missing and the only option you can select it to exit to desktop. I have to completely reboot my PC for MSFS 2024 to load after that. So much for fast startup times.

This value works for full travel on the throttle, I configured a separate axis on my quadrant for reverse with (from=0 ; to=-50) using the same B event - now I need to learn how to fly the SAAB 😁

Thanks a lot. That got the throttle lever moving. I found that the Rescale Value (from=0 ; to=100) only gave me half of the movement and did not move into reverse, changing the value to (from=-50 ; to=50) gave me full travel and reverse. I hade to invert the axis. Learned something new about SPAD. Still can not understand why they can not standardise the settings. Thanks a lot again. Johan PS - I had the gust lock on - hence the limited range of movement - will play some more

Hi, Thanks for the quick reply. I am using a Saitek throttle quadrant and I found the B_ Var mentioned but I am not sure what the correct settings are. The settings screen - what should I Change? I played around but I can not find the correct combination. Thanks for the help so far Johan

Finally decided to take the leap and install MSFS 2024, but I am still in the frustration phase trying to set up my hardware and views. The SAAB 340 looks very interesting and I thought I would give it a go but I can not get my Throttle axis (or any other axis) assigned using SPAD.next. I got the C90 (also a twin turbo) sorted with condition detents and thrust reverse but it seems like the SAAB is completely different and nothing I could think of to date could get any of the levers in the cockpit to move.😳 If there is any one out there that figured it out - please help.

Thanks for the feedback - I also fly in Southern Africa and I was wondering of all the nice features and hype filtered down into the neglected continent. I am still thinking about upgrading to 2024. At least the ORBX Cape Town City pack is compatible at no additional fee...

I had a quick look and it looks like only the Pro version will be supported in MSFS 2024 😡 . I am still holding back on getting MSFS 2024 and one of the reasons was the problem with the TDS GTNxi. Seem like I will have to fork out more money. So much for compatibility from 2020 to 2024.
