Feel free to delete this quote section after adding your appropriate tags.

SIM INFORMATION

This is vital information for our test team, please do not skip it or your issue may not be able to be reproduced or fixed.

• Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 or 2024:

• Version Build Number (Where do I locate that?):

• Game Platform (Steam, Xbox, MS Store):

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

1. Description of the issue:
   The loading process of the mass from the tablet to the aircraft is failing. Also, the knob to correct the altitude of the pressurization system roll but the altitude gauge doesn’t move. Third point, the outside temperature gauge on the left panel is locked in farenheit.

2. If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue:

3. Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you? (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue.

YOUR SETTINGS

If the issue still occurs with no mods and add-ons, please continue to report your issue. If not, please move this post to the User Support Hub.

1. What peripherals are you using, if relevant:

2. [PC Only] Are you using Developer Mode or have you made any changes to it?

3. [PC, MSFS 2020 Only] Are you using DX11 or DX12?

4. [PC Only] What GPU (Graphics Card) do you use?

5. [PC Only] What other relevant PC specs can you share?

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes, have the same issues, but I have also other issues with this plane I would like to report.

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:

• During the walkaround, the chocks do not appear but they are still there. You cannot taxi if you don’t remove them. To remove them, you have to place the cursor where they should be, then it turns into a hand and you can left-click to remove them.
• Also during the walkaround, whatever you do to check the elevator, you will never get the green dot meaning it is OK. On the other check points, it works.
• In the cockpit, when a up arrow appears on the autofeather switch and you left-click, the switch goes down. When the down arrow apprears and you left-click, the switch goes up.
• In the Collins RTU (the instrument where you tune radio frequencies) at the right of the transponder code, a ON/OFF code appears. It is toggled by the IDENT option of the FMS. The manual of the real aircraft shows that there should not be a ON/OFF code here but ID if IDENT is pressed in the FMS and nothing otherwise. The currently displayed codes are misleading as they could lead you to believe that the transponder is ON or OFF while it’s not the case.

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

The pressurization does not work at all. The Cabin Altitude setting on the pedestal isn’t functional and only shows the actual aircraft’s cabin altitude (ie: it moves as you climb/descend).

I’ll dump it here as well to be sure:

For me the L and R green down lock lights are only visible from a certain angle:

Little further back:

Same for TCAS, PROP SYNCH green lights.

Engines don’t start without BOOST PUMPS ON, this is incorrect behavior. You can dispatch and fly around for 100 hrs without working boost pump before engine driven pump needs to be overhauled.

AUTOFEATHER lights shouldn’t be ON at idle power:

PITOT HEAT lights should be ON when PITOT HEAT in OFF position (so now working in reverse):

The real aircraft has no chime for master caution or warning. Also, on the real aircraft the MASTER CAUTION or WARNING won’t reset until pressed. So even if the fault triggering it is solved, the MASTER CAUTIION / WARNING will keep flashing until pressed on the real aircraft.

The imaginary chock thing is an issue.

Starts taxiing upon releasing the parking brake, this is accurate.

Full throttle should cause Torque (and ITT if hot / high) to go over redline. The Kingair has no torque / temperature limiter.

The aircraft should have quite strong torque effect during the initial part of the take-off run, requiring a lot of rudder to stay on centerline. I don’t see this modeled.

Autopilot isn’t doing a great job following the FD pitch bar after take-off, also during approach, not following the glideslope…

Quite slow, only 180 kts at 6000 ft? The real one goes much faster.

I see 1485 ft/lbs of torque (not too far off) but fuel flow 520 lbs / engine which is far more than should be. Speed 183 kts is about 40 kts slow. Burning far too much fuel and way too slow, so a lot less range than should be the case.

This is about 50% more fuel flow / hr / eng and about 20% slower.

Should lose speed much more quickly during the flare with props discing.

Otherwise, the Proline is quite well done as far as I remember.

Overall quite ok, the visual model (interior and exterior) is amazing! Hope they can make fix the cruise speed / fuel burn, I see that as the biggest flaw.

I wish the 350i was done to the same level.
