I guess it is a Win-Win Situation regarding the Islander. 90% of the criticism in this thread is constructive. And both sides gain something from the discussion. The customers getting additional features and the developer on the other hands get a better product. Which hopefully many more will buy.
As far as i can see the company consists of 2 Persons, so even more impressive that at least one is more or less answering mostly in minutes here in the Forum.
Sadly some things can’t be simulated. i have vivid memories flying in an Islander. Had also the opportunity to fly it my self, at that time i was a glider Pilot and was impressed by the force you have to put on the yoke. Until to that point had only flown gliders and they are much lighter regarding stick force. Next thing that i keep in remembrance is when the Flaps where put in Landing position. It felt like something was hanging from the plane like an anchor.
Still i have to say that in my remembrance the acceleration was not that good like in the sim.
It is the perfekt plane to switch of for one or 2 hours from everyday life.
Only “nice to have” feature would be to have the GTN750 as an option. Without using a mod. Maybe someone here figured it out ?

Just a thought - maybe add the panel to the official paint kit so the livery guys can’t cause any more trouble?

There are ways of getting the 750 to appear on the screen of the 530. I’ve never bothered with this myself, but a native 750 would be cool.
there is No trouble if proper procedure is followed …
FALLBACK is the key… get it wrong and your Islander is Broken
Everything is perfect but the sound inside the plane. The BN2 Islander is LOUD. But here it’s as quiet as a mouse.
turn your speakers up ? 
Seriously though also check your sound settings … If you dont have full surround you could be missing the main noise … Try stereo or quad if its not quite right but Most systems these days have apps to allow setting speakers for proper sound output
I am certain my sound is perfect. It does not sound like a Islander inside. Outside is fine. If you listen to the sound inside Nimbus’s Islander for X Plane you will hear the difference. It’s the only problem. But it takes away the feeling you are really in a Islander. At take off it should be deafening.

Thank you will look into it
Good afternoon. I have not yet received an email with the upgrade link. I’ve checked the spam folder and the trash dump but nothing there either. My email is rexandrea@comcast.net
Thank you.

Sorry but all my addon textures (loganair) didn’t show the correct transponder knob and numbers and they all have a texture.cfg with the following fallback details:
[fltsim]
fallback.1=…..\blackbox-aircraft-BN-Islander\texture
fallback.2=…......\texture\detailMap
fallback.3=…......\texture\AS1000
fallback.4=…......\texture\Glass
fallback.5=…......\texture\Lights
fallback.6=…\texture
Surely this is a cover-all since the BBS textures only have the following fallback details:
[fltsim]
fallback.1=…\TEXTURE
When I replaced the BBS-BN2-PANEL_ALB.PNG.DDS in these addon liveries with one from the BBS v1.1.2 update, the transponder displayed correctly. Please include the panel image with the official paintkit.
Just did a lovely flight from EGNT, to EGNX. I was taking in some of the POI from the UK update.
I was testing out VOR navigation, and that seems to be working great, both flying by hand, and AP. AP seems slaved to NAV1, and I didn’t see a toggle to choose between NAV1/2.
NDB/ADF as well, but with one issue here. As I was heading South away from the Trent VOR, I had tuned in the EMW NDB, that sits on the ILS for EGNX.
I’m heading away from the VOR towards the NDB, I think on course 163. So in a Southerly direction. On the ADF receiver there is no dial for rotating the crown, so it seems to indicate that I am heading North. I should be able to tune that, aligning it to my current heading, then read the needle to work out what course I need to follow.
If anyone has missed this, the website below is a very useful resource for learning navigation, and is very configurable. This link is for ADF specifically. You can choose other simulators from the menu on the left.
ADF gauges are not necessarily rotatable. The needle pointing north then just means you are heading straight to the NDB.
True, but this instrument has a crown that is fixed with North up. So if it isn’t meant to be adjustable, removing the crown entirely would be one option. The other would be to add a little knob so crown can be rotated. An example of that is in the default Cessna 152, and would be the preferred option.
I’ll have a play in SPAD, and find an event I could use that might be there, we just don’t have the physical knob to access it.
One example I rediscovered earlier was with the ADF receiver tuning. There are only three digits, but some NDB’s have a frequency like 340.5KHz. There is no way to tune that in the cockpit. But using my Logitech radio panel, I can tune that there. In the cockpit it just shows 340 IIRC, but it does work.
For those who insist on using the Clean Panel Mod and causing the Transponder to fail … PLEASE use the attached file instead of any 3rd party mod …
Simply Drop this into the livery folder you require the clean look …
PLEASE NOTE Only Blue is available at this time and you will need to re colour the image for other backgrounds …
