/images/notams/notams22/blac1020/blac1020.jpgBlack Square's Steam Gauge overhaul for the default MSFS Cessna208B Grand Caravan EX provides a completely new interior and panelwith ‘steam’ gauge (analogue) instrumentation and swappable radioconfigurations, each developed with extreme attention to detail andbased on a specific piece of real-world equipment. /images/notams/notams22/blac1020/black-square-1.jpgBlack Square’s Analog Caravan brings you a completely new interiorand panel for the default MSFS Grand Caravan, featuring analoginstrumentation (steam gauges), swappable radio configurations and anoverhauled electrical system with every circuit breaker, bus, meter,switch, and knob functioning. Users will find increased detail on theinstrument panel and electrical panels when compared to defaultaircraft, and a similar level of detail in the cabin. The panel of the aircraft contains only fully 3D gauges, modelledand coded to meticulously match their real world counterparts, withreference to real-world maintenance and installation manuals. No pieceof equipment appears in a Black Square aircraft without a real-worldunit as reference. /images/notams/notams22/blac1020/black-square-2.jpgRadio and navigation systems are available from several eras of theCaravan’s history, so users can fly without GPS via an original BendixKNS-80 RNAV system, or with the convenience of a Garmin GTN 750 (PMS50or TDS). Other swappable radio equipment in this aircraft includesKX-155 NAV/COM radios, GNS 530, GNS 430, KR 87 ADF, KDI 572 DME, GTX327 Transponder, KAP 140 Autopilot, and a Bendix RDR1150XL ColourWeather Radar. A 70-page manual provides instruction on all installed equipment,and 30 in-game checklists with control/instrument highlighting areincluded for normal and emergency procedures. /images/notams/notams22/blac1020/black-square-3.jpgPrimarily analog instrumentation augmented with modern radionavigation equipment is still the most common aircraft panelconfiguration in the world. Challenge your piloting skills by flyingIFR to minimums with a fully analog panel and no GPS. You’ll be amazedat the level of skill and proficiency you can achieve to conquer suchadversity, and how it will translate to all your other flying. Youalso may find the analog instrumentation much easier to read with thelimited number of pixels available on a computer monitor, and evenmore so in VR.

/images/notams/notams22/thra0405.jpgTwo models in one - both are included in this package: C208 Caravan 675C208 Grand CaravanBoth planes come with passenger and cargo versions. Special FeaturesFully configurable 3D instrument panel.Over 50 instruments to choose from! (Including Aspen EFD 1000, and support for RealityXP GTN750)Move any instrument to any location on the panel, or even between pilot and copilot's panel!Comes with 4 panel presets, but can easily be expanded by moving instruments around, using a simple and intuitive interface.Save your own presets, and even share them with the community!Instruments can be moved in 3D directly, on a 2D pop-up preview window, or by numerical entry for precise placement.Realistic custom fuel system.GNS430 and 530 can be swapped out, but a restart of the plane is required, as 430s and 530s are mutually exclusive in terms of compatibility in X-PlaneDynamic livery editor (like in the Kodiak, the Beaver, the Wilga, and the Pilatus PC-6)Full PBR control! Create stunning metallic liveries, or matte, sand-blasted look in mere seconds!Additional control over dirt/grime, adjustable in real-time to dial in the exact desired amount of wear and tear. Create "virtual" liveries, based on two basic common design layouts, and assign any colour to any available paint segment.Quickly create preview of livery in real-time, using intuitive controls. Previews now include visualization of metallic materials and dirt overlays. Apply selected livery in real-time, right in the sim, without the need to even touch a 3rd party image editor!Option to change the tail number in real-time, or disable it altogether. (Enter a "space" instead of a callsign number to create a blank tail number.)Easily and quickly create dozens of paint schemes in-sim!Also supports 11 traditionally painted liveries, all visible in a convenient pre-selection preview window.Uses SkunkCrafts Updater. Option to participate in Beta program, via check box in SkunkCrafts Updater.

Includes ground mode and air mode.Dynamic panel control page, with a separate view for the entire panel layout preview, or a per-instrument view, allowing for fine-tuning of instrument position, as well as copy-paste function to quickly replace instruments.Flight Dynamics And SystemsDetailed and accurate flight dynamics and weight and balance with the help of multiple real-world active Caravan pilots. This not only gives this aircraft the proper "feel", but also accurate takeoff, climb, cruise, and landing performance.The Caravan is a well-behaved airplane and a very stable IFR platform. Easy to fly, but extremely capable! The Caravan is equally comfortable at the world's busiest airports as well as back country dirt strips.Detailed fuel system, including the small reservoir tank and the fuel selector warning alarms.Extensively simulated electrical system, including the battery, avionics busses, generator, starter, external power, and standby alternator system.Tie-downs and chocks actually keep the plane from moving, even in high winds.Advanced FMOD-Based Sound SystemHigh fidelity, multi-track sounds with smooth transitions and amazing atmospheric effects.Individual volume control over different aspects of the sound experience, adjustable in real-time (while listening to the sounds)Different sounds for front of plane than for back of planePanning around the plane in exterior view yields awesome 3D audio effects, including "blade slapping" sound when view is perpendicular to propIndividual buttons and switches in the cockpit each have their own unique sound.Sounds actually give you clues as to what's happening under the hoodOutside wind intensity is affected by slip and AoA. (The more the surface area of the fuselage is hit by oncoming wind, the louder the soundsSource
