Aircraft worked fine in MSFS2020 but the first time using it in MSFS2024 there is:

  1. A ticking noise that won’t go away, hear it both inside and outside the aircraft before I even touch anything.

  2. Cannot get aircraft to full power and therefore can barely take off and cannot maintain altitude.

Never had either issue before MSFS2024 - anyone else experiencing this? Any help appreciated! Thanks in advance!!

Have you got the updated one released a couple of days ago though?

Thanks for responding Baracus! No, I wasn’t aware the aircraft was patched - do you have a link (sorry to keep asking)?

5

No worries. Where did you buy it?

Here is (one of) the topic(s):

And the one about the BN2 here:

Just came back to say ‘I found it’ and you beat me to it! Thanks again for your help! I got it the Islander through Marketplace/Steam. I don’t see that I received any link/email or anything to download the patch. Still searching..

Is the patch called ’ Islander BN2T Turboprop TDS GTNXi Patch’?

7

No. That is something for the newer turbo version.

If you bought from the in game market I think you need to wait for Microsoft to process it and get their act together with actually having a… you know… marketplace at all for 2024 ;(

Sir if you bought through the Marketplace then you will need to get the Update from marketplace once it is released ..

Please not you can not use the Web installer with any reliability ..

TO CLARIFY
If purchased from website = Use New Web installer
if Purchased from Marketplace = wait for Update release via Marketplace

I also get the ticking sound (in 2024). Also the GNS430 doesn’t work.

12

Are you able to say what was causing the ticking sound? I’m just curious because I’ve run into a couple of other planes that have it.

13

The ticking sound is easy .. you are not running the Update
Make sure ALL versions of the product are Updated… 2020 and 2024

For example check FS2024 content manager .. see what version is being streamed

14

Yea, I understand it’s fixed with the update. Mine is through the Market though so I’ll have to wait on that.

I was also simply curious on the cause as there’s other aircraft (at least one) that I’ve run into that also do it.

15

The Marketplace SHOULD Have the latest update right now ..
And any other aircraft showing the same issue will probably need updating too

Delighted to say that 2.2.2 has not only banished the ticking but fixed the problematic engine performance for takeoffs! The Islander remains one of my favourite FS aircraft - well done, devs!! :+1: :+1: :+1:

Thank You @Adamskinz
We aim to please …
You will find another update 2.2.3 on Thursday with slightly better engine tweaks

BN2 Islander New Version Just released in PC and XBOX Marketplace

2.2.3 installed and working great (MS Store/2024) - many thanks! One small question though: I can’t start the engine without external power [also] being turned on. Is that how it works in RL? I’d have guessed you should be able to start from just the battery, but I don’t really know. A fantastic addon nonetheless!

20

YES the external power switch MUST be on for all starts ( Even Air start )

Running the newest version from the Marketplace in 2024 SU1 Beta, Clicking noise whilst flying is there.
