July 10, 2025Jul 10 https://www.blackboxsimulation.com/ Blackbox have released a new version of the Islander for 2024. I only purchased this a couple of weeks ago as compatible with 2024 . No discount for the previous version unfortunately. Having said that, it looks great and I'll probably pick it up anyway. Such a fun aircraft, especially around the Scottish islands.
July 10, 2025Jul 10 Finally, the Islander was on my list for some time and now I am happy I did not buy the "old" variant. BUT: what exactly is changed compared to the old compatible one? It is not entirely clear from the product description (except the modular thing). Greetings, Chris AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 2x32GB DDR5 6000MT/s RAM, MSI RTX 4090 Ventus 3X, Windows 11 Home, MSFS2024

Unrelated really but this is an issue now. I am very tempted to pick up Ant's Tiger Moth in the current sale and by all accounts it is flying well in 2024 (which I don't yet have) but I am reluctant to buy anything that doesn't have a clear statement as to an upgrade path to 2024.
July 10, 2025Jul 10 Author I hear ya! I'm only using 2024 now, so everything I buy from now on will have to be native 2024. It's the future for me.

It appears to be *Mission ready*, if that is your thing.. 😉 Bert

But it is overpowered , the fuel flows are odd , the mixture control is strange - watch the EGTs as you keep leaning - and the graphics are not state of the art. Oh the registration flickers but evidently Asobo are to blame. My copy is in the hangar until things improve.
February 18Feb 18 Does anyone know how Blackbox and / or Asobo handle carburettor icing controls? On the BN2 (2024 Version), the Carb Levers flip back to the up position when I move them down with the mouse, and I have a constant clicking sound. Obviously, there is a setting somewhere commanding the levers. I could not find the bindings for the carburettor heat in the bindings section of MSFS2024. Any ideas how it is named there? Thank you!
