We’re happy to announce that we’ve opened an official Discord server where we can provide direct support, answer technical questions, and help users with any issues related to our aircraft.

Discord link: GKS Official Discord Channel

On the official MSFS forums, developers are limited in how much direct support they can provide in order to prevent the forum from turning into a full support platform. We’ve already received several reminders from moderators about this, so moving detailed support conversations to Discord will be much more comfortable for everyone.

Of course, we will continue posting news, updates, and announcements here on the forum, and we’ll gladly reply to any discussions that aren’t strictly support-related.

Thank you for your understanding - and see you on Discord!

Where does the B-52 stand with respect to FS24? When will it be available?

Also, can the Options button (on the glare shield) either be made an invisible click spot, or moved out of the main view? It kind of ruins immersion.

Any news on the manual or a paint kit?

Love the Christmas “easter egg”…christmas egg(?) surprise when loading on an in-sim date of 25 Dec!

105

just checking are there any more liveries planned? i feel like only 3 is a little small no?

106

They have more liveries planned as well as additional updates but most of their team lives in Kyiv, so they’ve been without electricity, heat, etc up until recently due to attacks from the Russians. I believe they are just now getting back on track during a period of calm.

Just FTI - One crew DID barrel roll a B-52D in Linebacker II. The Aircraft Commander’s name was John Mize. It was done after an SA-2 detonated near the aircraft and forced the aircraft into a very steep angle of bank. (The site popped 15 missiles at them…they evaded 14.) John was our WST (Weapons System Trainer) operator at Wurtsmith AFB in the 80s and told us the story. Basically, he said that he had no choice but to go around and knew that a “perfectly executed” barrel roll put 1G on the aircraft. He did it! 4 engines out, maybe 5 functional gauges on the panel and everyone on the crew wounded to some extent. They held the aircraft in the air until the Thai border and everything started dying on the aircraft, John called “GET OUT!” and everyone got out safely and was recovered. John Mize received the Air Force Cross for his actions.

Day one purchase, great news

110

That’s great and all, but can we PLEASE get some new liveries. 2 of the 3 included were novelty ■■■■. Just some simple LA/ED/MT tails please.

111

+1 for liveries. I really want to see a Vietnam era livery. I understand the H was not used in the war, but the low-tailed G was and it’s all we have at this point.

The D model would be awesome but that’s a separate discussion.

112

Just picked it up in MSFS 24. This thing is sweet!

However I can’t find the in sim settings to bind throttles 5-8. Can anyone help?

113

You might have to double bind to 1 throttle each bank of engines. So 1 and 2 together, 3 and 4 together and so on.

114

But how? Controls menus only address throttles 1 to 4? Love to know, thanks.

115

I mean engine 1 and 2, bind them to throttle 1.

Engine 3 and 4 to throttle 2

Engine 5/6 to throttle 3

Engine 7/8 to throttle 4

Basically a double bind on each lever

116

I understand the layout, but where do I find “engine 1” or “engine 2” without Spad or AAO? I only see throttle1, throttle 2, etc. Where do you find “engine” assignments?

117

Power management

Just type in throttle in the search bar at the top after you have chosen your throttle type , I don’t know which you have.

Or open settings and go to power management and you will get options

Not at pc now so can’t post pics

118

Bravo Throttle Quadrant: I still see no references to “engine” to assign engines 1&2 to throttle 1, etc. But thanks for your assistance.

119

The only way to find the exact thing you want is to type the name of what it is in the search bar. Or look in unassigned.

120

I’m not following, what other action do you want to assign to an engine
