You don’t even really need to watch the heat much - just be aware if your engines start underperforming ( like say, manifold pressures start diverging, or you can hear revs drop on one engine ) that it could be carb icing. I’ve found that even with the heat out of the warning zone - usually if I’ve been keeping it reasonably close, because less carb heat is better for performance - sometimes they start icing a bit anyway & need a quick dash of a lot more heat. Otherwise this is a pretty vice-free and pleasant aircraft, I still occasionally forget to look at the clipboard

watched Jeremy’s video.
regarding this flashing light…is there a circuit breaker to deactivate it ?
It would annoy me 
Just wanted to say that I downloaded this the other day, and it’s an absolute joy! Love the quirks like the isolator switch, and having to keep an eye on the carb heat. Though I wish BN had picked somewhere else to put the turn coordinator…
I might well be interrupting my round the world in the Just Flight Turbo Arrow for an ‘every county in England’ in the Trislander…

Is it safe to assume you are joking ?

nah.
There’s a blinking light also in the JF Arrow, I always pull the circuit breaker.
erm ok … I will bite
You could always use the “SWITCH” referred to in the Pre and Post Takeoff checklists ?
dictionary definition - a device for making and breaking the connection in an electric circuit.

allright, that would be good enough I guess. As long as it doesn’t blink all the time.
I’ll have to wait for marketplace…I have both PC and Xbox.
Did you also get a developer Xbox from MS like IFT did ?
To test addons before Marketplace release ?

I think you will find they bought one with their own hard cash

I bet they have a manual as well

According to the link that appears to be a retail Xbox Series S, not a developer unit.
What is Interesting is it sounds like MS are somehow allowing 3rd party devs the ability to install their add-on on the Xbox prior to the add-on being available on the Marketplace. This is an amazing bit of information. That means they can actually test their add-ons before they release, which was impossible before.
Thanks for sharing this.

@NightMercury358 i promise i am not picking at a scab here but i want to throw my hat into the ring for TDS750 vc support. running it in a separate window just isn’t the same. anyhow, just another customer data point for you to consider as you start to look at working on the islander again and other future projects

yes upoan reading again, you are right. It’s not about the hardware Xbox but the special access.
IFT are the only dev that has posted about this to my knowledge, so it surely is very interesting to know and a good thing for future addons on Xbox.
So I am wondering if Black Box have the same special access now to test their Xbox version of the Trislander before th marketplace release. But maybe they want to keep such business internals, well internal. (which is ok).
why not turn it off as the tutorial suggests!

I don’t even have the plane yet !
oh…! in that case…
With respect scoobyx
it is something we have considered but have decided we are not going to be rebuilding the cockpit to accommodate a 3rd party mod when the GTN750 can be run in its own window
As previously mentioned the 530 Mod is quite useable if you require an update from the default GPS and is available for free … here gns530-mod

sorry, eh. i wasn’t implying you retrofit the tri for the 750. it was clear from earlier posts that ship has sailed.
i know making design decisions isn’t easy but if you hear from enough people maybe future creations will accommodate something like the 750. if not, that’s okay too. you’re the developer and i like your planes so i will probably buy them regardless.
and yes, the 530 (even with the mod) is usable although in comparison to other nav units, the adjective “quite” is debatable.

What exactly are you looking for then ?
That for future planes you release you include the 750 as an option in the virtual cockpit. You’ve probably seen those planes where you can use a tablet to dynamically alter the cockpit layout, like the Just Flight Arrow’s. No loading a different plane with a different GPS, the panel layout changes on the fly.

similar to what @hobanagerik said in the post above (he mentioned an ideal solution that i currently enjoy in a number of planes). i just wanted to add a voice to your customer base requesting support in future releases for the 750. i apologize that i wasn’t able to convey that clearly in my earlier posts.
as you and your team sit down to make design decisions on your next plane i’d like for you to know that there are a growing number of folks who own this 3rd party add-on who would like to see vc support in future releases. that’s it - no specific call to action for you.
if it is at all meaningful, i have actually made some recent purchase decisions based around baked-in support of the TDS GTN750 product. it means that much to me personally. again, just a data point for you to consider.
