Thanks for your work, the mod for the C208, no problem, but I really have a problem installing the G1000 fix. I admit that I never understood, especially since I am not an English speaker.
Can the 208 mod be installed without the G1000 fix? I have also installed the GTN750, which works fine.
Thanks to you for your understanding.

Edit:
By dint of perseverance I think I understood

Great news that the Caravan continues to be improved.

Does the mod enable the Yaw Dampener? I found a line in the config to enable it from another stock plane improvement project, but not sure if it actually does anything.

Thank you! I’ve been hoping someone would pick mods for the 208 back up.

Thanks for testing and your feedback

Yes but Annunciation Messages will not work

Yes Yaw Dampener is still working

New Version! v2106.2
Since Sim Update 4 overhauled turbine performance and changed the C208B’s configs drastically, so we decided to return most of the changes to Vanilla SU4 Flight Model and Performance (not all).
SU4 has done a good job!

Hi, You might want to integrate this fixes on your mod. this will enable the 1000 to go and minimum callouts.TBM 930 Audible Alert Fixes (Updated)

I will have a look on it.
There are already voice alerts but I’m actually not sure if something is wrong on them.

I didn’t try the mod yet but according to the description you kept the ground handling from Sim Update 4.
Is the turn rate really so big?

The nose wheel max steering angle is set 51.5°, as per the manual. The default unmodded plane is 22°.

Yes Steering Angle is still bigger then vanilla. I forgot to note that.
If you miss something, feel free to give me some feedback

Even if I for my self don’t like that so much.
But I’m playing with rudder paddles, maybe cause of that.

If it seems too twitchy there are some other steering parameters that can be adjusted in the future, as the max angle should only be accomplished with full rudder/full brake in the direction of turn at very low speed.

I’m comfortable with it at this point, so it doesn’t bother me.

The tighter steering angle gets my vote if it can be added. :+1: Trying to maneuver it on a crowded ramp now that I can bump up static traffic more is a bear!

Fantastic work! Are you putting your Mod up on FlightSim.to? The only reason I ask is that it is much easier to get the latest version compared to scrolling up and down through this forum.
