Black Square Caravan Professional

Pretty much night and day.

Disregard post.

I picked this up on Simmarket and noticed no update…Is that similar to marketplace updates where they are the last to get updates?

They’re definitely faster than Marketplace but from my experience usually slower than the other major stores like Contrail etc. Black Square products is best to get at their home store, which is Just Flight. But I would expect it to show up on Simmarket soon, anyway.

Massive amount of rudder trim to keep it from drifting off. Also, the sounds are not an improvement except for the overly loud vent air sound which has been improved.

Eagerly awaiting some videos of the new update, i’ve heard some say the sounds are much improved mainly the prop. If they are then it’ll probably tip me over and i’ll buy it. Need all the Blacksq stuff.

I don’t have enough experience around PT6’s of any sort, so as long as it doesn’t sound like a 1600CC air cooled Type 1 Bug engine, I’m good with it!

I tried it briefly last night, but I don’t remember hearing anything engine wise that seemed greatly different. I know there were some external audio differences, removing static elements, but I didn’t concentrate on those.

Ok, Only reference i have are different streams online mainly V1 sims. Bsq always get the sound spot on together with Boris and being a sound nerd i like it right. I know it will be good. From what i heard the first version was fine and then a weird 2 blade type prop sound was added on the second update that didn’t sound right kinda drowned out the PT6 song.

I was looking for if that’s been fixed, still waiting for a stream showcasing it.

Anyway i’ll end up getting it anyhow.

Just flown 1.2 and thought it great in 2020. Sounds and beta handling seem improved to me. In short, love it.

This wasn’t in the 1.2 change log, but does it seem that when braking during taxiing, the nose dives down a bit more than before? Or maybe it’s because I had a heavier load then normal yesterday, close to MTOW…

It may be my imagination, but on startup, I’m hearing more turbine and less prop. Seems appropriate since I’m behind the prop where it usually seems quieter in real life. I just did a short hop from Lake Tahoe to Monterey with zero issues. This plane is easy to fly and easy to manage - especially with the cabin heat and AC.

Now if we could only get the same treatment on a ground-up King Air!

Hi,

After trying the Caravan Pro version 1.2 , I can still hear this ureal rumbling sound during beta mode.

I have flown Caravans for more than 1000 hours and have never heard that IRL.

Are there any current IRL Caravan pilots out there who could provide real beta and reverse sounds to Boris Soundworks or Blacksquare?

Not at PC to check, but how do I update pc website purchase version.

Is it a case of deleting current version from community folder and redownloading?

Thank you

I always uninstall the current version and then download and install the new one.

You don’t need to. I watched the process. The installer deletes the old folder in the community folder and installs the new version.

Anyone here having issues with flight tracking software ie NewSky or OnAir recognising the new Blacksquare version?

I’m getting an error in the apps that looks like naming convention from a config file?

OnAir worked fine when I was using v1.0.1 of the Caravan, I’ve not had a chance to try v1.0.2 yet.

Yeah 1.0.1 worked ok for me but not 1.0.2.

I raised at ticket with OnAir and they said it was an issue their end yesterday and it was fixed. Still not working and wondered if it was something I was doing wrong?

I don’t uninstal, but move the folder elsewhere so I can then run a file comparison between the two versions to see what they changed.

WinMerge is great for that:
