Scottish Aviation Bulldog from Blackbox Simulation (Available in the Marketplace & XBox)

What are you up to just now? Big fan of the Blackbox aircraft, can safely say I’m looking forward to whatever comes next

Well . . . .
How about a brand new BN2 Islander for FS2024 ?
Fully modular and career mode ready ?
With Steam and Full glass cockpit versions, Cargo, Para drop and surveillance models

And are we far off ready do you think?

Nope not far at all :slight_smile:

Purchased through Marketplace some time ago but no manuals/checklist. Tried the following link but doesn’t seem to work: https://www.blackboxsimulation.com/index.php/technical-support/tutorials-manuals/

Anyone got a link that works? Thanks.

That one seems to be missing:

Originally, this was so bad I just put it away in the back of the hangar and forgot about it. Dragged it out a couple of days ago, updated, and now what a huge difference. As a PPL(UK), I can really say this is the closest to an aerodynamic simulation i’ve ever experienced outside of X-plane - fluid on all axis and I can even perform a decent side-slip without the thing going haywire! A very good job, my goto aircraft for stick n rudder…

Is anyone else having trouble starting it up on MSFS 2024. I cant’ get it to start, no matter what I do. I have the fuel pump on, batteries on, mags on both, both fuel switch on both tanks with 16 gal total (8 in each), mixture and RPM full, generator on. It does not want to start, it dies at 790 RPM.

2020 or 2024?

Don’t believe I have had an issue starting.

MSFS 2024 is where I’m having problems starting up the engine.

Check posts above

Thank you!

I will try mine later and see if I can!

Hi. Any news from the devs if we will be able to START the Bulldog in the future? It seems like quite important feat! (oh my).

We have not been able to fix this issue as yet
HOWEVER >> We have posted a few times how you can start the flight on a taxiway or runway and slew the aircraft to your parking slot.. Then shutdown and start over ..
sorry its a bit convoluted

Ok. But thats not really how I wanna do. What seem to be the problem (yeah, you can be technical). ? I just love this aircraft, and want to be able to start it up as usal etc. Your solution will work until its fixed though. Thanks for you respond. =)

THAT WAS THE PLAN :wink:

I’m sorry but it has been almost a year since MSFS 2024 was first released. I have held off from purchasing other of your products because of this issue and will not do so unless I see a clear dedication to fixing it. Sometimes I want to practice a cold start due to the extra immersion it brings.

Probably waiting for Asobo to fix the multitude of fuel system issues first, any cold and dark start fixes may be broken when/if they release the next SU.
Im sure they will get to it when there is less chance of having to keep re doing it.
