I just purchased the Black Box Shorts 360 the other day. I have done 3 flights with it. I have to say I am enjoying it very much. I’m using 2 liveries with it. One is Piedmont Commuter, the other is Allegheny Commuter. I flew on these planes when Piedmont used to fly them from Salisbury Md to BWI and or DC. They were a little slow, but they got you there. The only pitfall of these planes in real life was the necessity to keep a barf bag handy. They did not handle turbulence very well. For some reason simmers have given this plane lackluster reviews. Yes, maybe the cockpit textures aren’t the best, but just about everything in the cockpit works. She is a joy to fly and very easy on the frame rates. The price was right also. I paid $20.00 for it. Will be using this aircraft a lot in fs2020.

You’re definitely a master of utility aircraft like this. You should do a Twin Otter or CASA 212 one day

Yeah I really like the sounds too, I always found that as a strength for the Blackbox planes!

Ok, I found this one at the back of my hanger covered in tarp, leaves and beer cans and downloaded the latest update that makes it 2024 compatible. Sorry Blackbox, not had the time to fly it for the longest… :pensive_face: Anywho, previously, I’d been dabbling with the steam gauge version, but thought I’d give the GPS version a go. For some reason, the Garmin unit has a hard time inputting airports on the Proc page, whereby editing the 3rd letter in the ICAO code then changes the 2nd letter to a zero. I tried a bunch of different things each resulting in the same problem. I can input the overall flightplan however, just can’t add procedures, because of this, BATC gave me many different numbers to call. Has anyone else noticed this or are you all steam gauge purists? :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: Is it a bug or related to 2024 ā€œthingsā€?

Aside from this, I’ve become addicted to this aircraft again. :+1:

Ok, I’ve figured out a temporary fix, if you are having this problem in 2024, load up as normal, then restart the flight. It should fix this weird issue. I should imagine it’ll be the same on Xbox.

UPDATE: Only fixes for the departure airport sadly… All works absolutely fine in 2020 btw.
