Black Square Caravan Professional Receives Massive v1.1 Update
The study-level Cessna 208B gets a comprehensive update with CDI improvements, weather radar enhancements, failure system upgrades, and MSFS 2024 compatibility fixes.
Black Square has released version 1.1 of the Caravan Professional for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, delivering a substantial update that addresses feedback from the initial launch earlier this month.
Key Improvements
The update focuses on three main areas:
Navigation Enhancements
- CDI source improvements — better handling of localizer and GPS source switching
- Weather radar fixes — resolved issues with tilt adjustment and display rendering
- GPS fixes — numerous OBS, approach, and waypoint sequence issues addressed
Systems Depth
- Expanded failure system — more failure conditions and improved failure behaviour
- Engine modelling refinements — better representation of cold weather starts and fuel consumption
- Electrical system updates — more realistic generator and battery behaviour
MSFS 2024 Compatibility
- Career mode integration — fixed compatibility issues with the new career system
- Performance optimisations — reduced CPU load in cockpit views
- Walkaround mode — improved camera support for exterior inspection
The Caravan Professional Approach
Black Square has built their reputation on taking default aircraft and elevating them to study-level depth. The Caravan Professional continues that philosophy — realistic systems, comprehensive failure modelling, and the kind of operational detail that rewards proper procedures.
Availability
The update is free for existing owners. New purchases are available from the iniBuilds store for £24.99.
