I just loaded up XP on a refreshed PC and when I loaded up the TMB, the crash bar keeps flipping down closed on its own. I flip it up, but then it flips back down. This happens with every button. It's like it's possessed :-| Any tips?

ok thanks for responding. With Christmas coming up i thought id throw that little wish out there :p

Is there any talk or doing a 930 avionics upgrade? Having those split screens and touchscreens would be a welcome addition.

Just stating my opinion/observation, seeing if anyone else feels this way. I have a lot of addons and fly on XP almost every day. I really like the Islander and think it's top-class material and use it a lot for island hopping. The only issue I have currently is with the engine sounds. Something sounds off about them to me. Like they're missing the upper ranges of the sound. There's surely a lot of bass and it's throaty, but the higher parts seem muted/missing. Examples below. Here's a video I took of startup in the sim, and a high quality video of a BN-2 starting up in real life. The real life one has really great/full range of sounds. The highs and the lows. Does anyone else feel like there's a really big discrepancy between the two? Or am I crazy My Recording: https://streamable.com/iljtko Real Life:

hey there, guys! I wanted to put this request out in the ether in case anyone was so inclined to make this amazing livery for our favorite island, New Zealand. The place holds a special place in my heart and it would be amazing to be able to fly these routes down to Stewart Island. Thanks!! Stewart Island Flights - Google Maps

cool, thanks for the info!

Hey there quick q: is there a way to modify the weight in the luggage compartment? It's so far in the back, and with the luggage of 10 people would add a considerable amount of weight and CoM movement. Is there a way to modify how much weight goes in back there? And if not, a suggestion would be to add one more option on the already-fantastic loading panel that would allow luggage weight entry.

thanks, looking forward to update

also the vent motor (air fan) turns on with master off

quick q: I have a course plugged in on the GTN 750 as shown in the screenshot. However the HSI course needs shows me off-track even though I'm perfectly lined up. Is there a communication issue between the two instruments or perhaps an additional setting required?

just having a laugh on my end at the back two passengers over here looking like the Jason Bourne Brothers

thanks for the confirmation guys. good to know i'm not crazy

oh well its no biggie for now. ill keep an eye on it next update to see if it happens again

thanks, i did find that link after i posted the OP. these are the ones i was after: https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/61325-puerto-rico-islanders-liveries-for-torquesim-bn2-islander/ But hmm strange you don't see that behavior. I was watching the install folder and saw the entire TorqueSim BN-2 Islander folder disappear then reappear

I just ran the updated Islander install, and it deleted all of my existing liveries Usually updater leave extra files alone so this sort of situation doesn't happen. Maybe you could include that as a feature in future updates, because it's quite a bummer to have to now go find all of the liveries I've discovered (and now dont even remember which ones)

for that fix i copied/pasted coop's code so not sure how or where I'd do that for panel lights. any idea?

not for me. I keep my visual effects setting on maximum (HDR+SSAO)

i believe so. i installed it on some liveries but not all of them so not 100% sure. is it supposed to be that dark or is it an issue with the mod?

not sure if this has been mention yet, but the instrument lighting is extremely dim for me. this screenshot is right before dawn with instrument lighting turned all of the way up. is there a fix available like for the landing lights? note: visual effects settings on HDR+SSAO

wow, I actually installed this correctly this time and it's totally working on my system. this view below used to destroy my GPU and knock my frames in half. now i'm a smooth 60 fps

yep i just dragged to the end. then clicked and dragged some more and off it went

I just noticed something odd, when performing the run-up, as I gently increase power, the carb temp first: 1) starts around 20c 2) increase throttle which slowly reduced temp to a stable -15c 3) increase throttle slightly more and the needle immediately jumps to +30c 4) slowly reduce throttle and needle drop back down to <-20c is this normal behavior? (all with carb heat off, full rich)

just a quick suggestion for a future update: It'd be handy to have the actual number values in the load manager. Like how many gallons/pounds you're adding to each tank and how much each person/luggage weighs. thanks! EDIT: seems you can vastly over-fuel your tanks?

cool, thanks

i see the ADF knob turns and I'm twisting it to the left, however I'm unable to turn it off. am I missing something or does it not turn off?
