I can’t see very well on the Garmin screens. The steam gauges are clear to me and this model is one of my favorite.

Personally, I’ll fly whatever’s in front of me. Digital or analog, bring it on. I got the BS King Air and Caravan for the flight model improvements, the better detailing, and all the wonderful pushy-buttons. The analog aspect was not really a consideration (or a negative) at all.

Sounds good to me. Well said 
I’m very glad of this version now I’ve had to throw my backup GPU ( from 2016! ) in and anything with glass is a blurry mess… these are not the clearest set of gauges I’ve ever used ( I don’t mean in a resoluition sense, but in a user-friendly sense ) but way more usable right now than a garmin screen. I’m using the 750 from memory, mostly :S
Rapidly become my favourite twin prop cruiser - just wish it was one of the smaller versions.
Because, and I’m trying not to sound rude, there’s a LOT more to flying IFR than simply following the magenta line, and it’s good to keep your skills sharp (or developing them) by sometimes throwing it back to the nuts and bolts.
Plus the work blacksquare has done is stunning, the depth of the systems with little to no issue makes it a work of art.

This x a million. Even following the magenta line there are rules and procedures. I love helping people discover all the what and why there is behind the scenes in regard to navigation. This sim is awesome for that opportunity.

If I may add, I’m a firm believer in the Interconnectedness of Things. Aviation has been an amazing life pathway, allowing me to draw connections between various disciplines in illustrating the bigger picture of The Way Things Work.
Example - partial panel. Incorporates the fields of weather, mechanics (system failures), spatial proprioception, aeromedical factors, troubleshooting, attitude instrument flying, navigation, education/training, human factors, communication, aeronautical decision making, and general aerodynamic physics. It is work.
All true, but I can’t say I’m a fan of flying NDB approaches in a gale, lol.

Hello, has anyone experienced this, the entire cockpit is frozen during the flight but everything works in the background. Before anyone asks, I have 48 GB of RAM!!
any simconnect device running on background ? I had gauge being stuck for like 3 or 5 sec before while flying with OnAir
without that, never had this kind of issue
I tried all of that… no joy. 
Still looking for a solution although it’s not looking good. I may have to give up my beloved engines…
Will we ever see this plane on the marketplace?
Although I read a lot of negative reviews about the marketplace, for me, just as mistakenly, being there for sale is a certain type of guarantee, of an acceptable level of quality and reliability.
This is the place where that Captainsim external model of a C-130 ended up, and all those really terrible shovelware items I’ve never seen anywhere else? 
It’d be interesting to see if these internal+systems models could end up on the marketplace, given they reference the basic external models from elsewhere.

I had some interesting random events after converting some liveries across… one had an engine fail on takeoff & the other fail on ( a rather hurried! ) approach, and the other one had both engines just fail on spawn… and I’d not flown either of them before! going to have to investigate how failure states are stored I think.
Incidentally one livery out of the batch has white screens for the weather radar & GPS, but there’s no functional difference in cfgs between that & a working one - for anyone who’s converted liveries, what did I forget to do?

Fully accept your arguments.
So, what would be the standard of quality to accept, and above all, pay for any add-on?
Are promotional videos rarely fair?
For MSFS I honestly hardly trust anyone these days, other than one reviewer I know personally & can adjust for. Things like the Black Square mods which are mostly just system upgrades are easier because they rely much less on opinion - the main judgement call is “is it worth it”, which a review can give you a good idea about. Flight models on the other hand… mostly judged vs baseline MSFS or similar MSFS products which is not exactly either a great starting point or an absolute quantity 
you could I guess as a reviewer go through a non-aerobatic routine for each & then an aerobatic extension if you need it, and show control inputs on screen, which would give some idea of how the plane responds & let you compare but in the end it’s all going to be subjective. Things that matter to me ( response time & rate to either pilot or atmo input, which is as near as quantifying “feel” as you’ll get ) are not going to matter so much to others. Just watch a lot of reviews, read a lot of reviews, see what reviewers have said about something else you own… about all you can do.

Wierdly I still can’t get this one livery to work. The version for the stock aircraft has a custom panel & I wondered if that was getting referenced somehow, but even renaming that so it wasn’t accessible didn’t work. :puzzled:

I m not livery convertion expert, @VanDisaster maybe can you drop here the livery references,then I will take a look , and repost it for you if l m able to make it work or maybe someone else will be glad to help too
In the interests of learning what to watch out for, it’s this one - Asobo Beechcraft King Air 350i JGSDF LR-2 » Microsoft Flight Simulator . Same process as a good half a dozen I’ve done by now.
I thought there might be a namespace clash with the panel path so I renamed that folder ( and the reference ) , but still nothing. Very odd.

I m finishing my actual flight, and after that I will get a look, keep you inform if I got engine shuting down too
Definitely panel related, rewrote one from scratch& it popped into life. You don’t have to use a custom panel for conversions, but if you want to play around with the lettering it’s a necessary evil. Now to try and work out the intent of the original panel…
that what I thought when l saw this in the panel xml
" Simvar name=“CIRCUIT ON:27” unit=“Boolean”/>
Simvar name=“CIRCUIT ON:28” unit=“Boolean”/> "
probably the faulty lines,
try just removing the panel = “JGSDF” in aircraft.cfg, replace by " " and delete the folder should be ok
don’t forget replace
[VARIATION]
base_container = "…\bksq-aircraft-analogkingair
in the model.cfg
interior = … kingair350i
to
interior=…\ …\bksq-aircraft-analogkingair\model\AnalogKingAir.xml
- for the fallback on texture.cfg usually I use those ones
fallback.1=…..\bksq-aircraft-analogkingair\texture
fallback.2=…..\Asobo_KingAir350_JGSDF\TEXTURE.JGSDF
fallback.3=…......\texture\Livery
fallback.4=…..\Asobo_KingAir350\TEXTURE
fallback.5=…......\texture
fallback.6=…......\texture\Glass
fallback.7=…......\texture\Wipers
fallback.8=…......\texture\DetailMap
fallback.9=…......\texture\Planes_Generic
edit : /!\ also have to actualise the layout.json with MSFSLayoutGenerator.exe
I m not sure to understand what bring this panel folder, made two screenshot from default livery and this one, can’t see any differences, maybe some correction on some gauges or custom behavior
