ATTENTION FSRealistic users! If the rudder is not working , turn off Prop Wash / Elevator and rudder shake effect, and it will solve the issue.

Echo19 sound pack users please download and extract the compatibility patch into your community folder.
This patch is required if you want to use the Echo19 sound pack with my mod, but only then.

DO NOT INSTALL IT IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE ECHO19 SOUNDPACK!!!

Changelog 1.3

• Bleed Air heating sound (get louder the higher the knob is cranked)
• Fuel imbalance simulation
• FM tweaks from feedback (bit more stability and less pitch moment on flap extension)
• FM tweaks for the no pod variants (cg moved a bit aft)

Changelog 1.2

• PFD and MFD startup sequence redone , now with an authentic looking MFD startup page.
• Some bugfixes and optimization.

Changelog 1.1

• SU5 Compatibility
• Added new sounds recorded from real aircraft- Thank you for “V1-Vr-V2”
• Fixed alternator producing electricity if the engine was shut down in the air
• FM tuned from pilot feedback, pitch should feel a bit heavier and 2nd notch of flaps will cause less pitch up movement
• Mitigated RPM spike when going into reverse after landing (not perfect, Asobo still working on the feature)
• Passenger variant now has access to the pod in the EFB
• Passenger and Cargo variant pod is now filled up with luggage/cargo when weight is added to the pod
• AP self test sound
• Fixed the default aural “taws system test ok” logic
• Implemented the LOW AIRSPEED AWARENESS SYSTEM (LAA)
• “Minimums” and “Vertical Track” voice alerts added
• Enabled MFD power-up confirmation
• New MFD startup page (proper NXI version probably coming soon)

What is this mod?
This is an enhancement mod for the default Cessna C208B EX meaning it modifies the default aircraft, it does not add a new one.
This means it is fully career compatible, but it also means if the mod is installed you can’t fly the original unmodded Caravan.

How to Install?
Just drop “C208B_EX_ImprovementMOD” into your community folder.

How to Uninstall?
Remove “C208B_EX_ImprovementMOD” from the community folder

Feature List

• CAS message duplication is fixed on the G1000 PFD (default aircraft bug)
• Backup torque gauge needle fixed to show correct torque (default aircraft bug)
• Left aileron anim fix (default aircraft bug, it was slightly dropped in neutral position)
• Ice melting graphic fix (default aircraft bug, ice graphics was not cleared by structural deice but by the window deice , this is fixed)
• Fuel selectors working and are off by default in cold and dark start
• Flight Model complete re-tune with all CFD features enabled to match real world performance better
  Autopilot re-tune to work with the new FM
• Propeller performance re-tune to match real world performance better
• Engine performance re-tune to match real world performance better
• Fuel Flow re-tune to match real world performance better
• Empty CG (center of gravity) locked in place so you need to load the aircraft properly (busting the aft CG limit might result in a flat spin in a stall! )
• Propeller governor test switch implemented and working
• Fire test switch implemented
• Fuel selector test switch implemented
• Propeller will feather even with full forward prop lever without oil pressure over a few minutes after shutdown
• Electric system rework, alternators , breakers, battery, avionics switches
• Fuel pump AUTO mode logic (pump stays on for 4 seconds when moving from ON to Auto, engine won't start in auto , switch needs to be in the ON position for startup!)
• New EIS (ENGINE INDICATION SYSTEM) Engine and System page + soft keys
• TKS de-ice system full implementation, normal mode is not strong enough to combat heavy ice buildup, you will need to use High mode, or even the Max Airframe mode to stay ice free in severe icing condition
• Independent window de-ice (defog helps a bit if bleed air heat is on), you don’t need to hold the switch, flick it and it will pump deice fuel for a minute, flick it again if any ice still remains
• Bleed Air / Inertial Separator impacts dynamic redline on the torque gauge, use caution and reduce power before turning them on to avoid busting the limit
• Stall warning icing and heater implemented, the stall warning vane can and will ice over and the horn will not sound in a stall, autopilot might not disengage either and might put you into a dangerous situation
• Fully working Yaw damper with custom code, try it with a hard rudder kick, watch how quickly the nose stabilizes compared to YD off.
• Autopilot and YD auto disconnect logic, AP and YD will turn off if stall warning happens, they will also turn off and prevent re-engagement in unusual attitudes (pitch +30/-20 , bank +/- 65)
• Ground handling rework, no more wobble on heavy braking
• Custom ITT logic to enable the possibility to run into ITT limit at higher altitudes in hot temperatures
• Low Bank Arc indicator on the PFD when Low Bank mode is engaged
• Adjusted Bleed Air output so there is no bleed air pressure during starter or motoring operation

I tested it a much as I could, but I'm 1 person, feel free to leave any and all feedback or issues you experience.

Enjoy your hopefully more realistic C208B flying experience.

MSFS 2024 C208B EX Caravan Improvement Mod

The MSFS 2024 C208B EX Improvement Mod enhances the default Cessna C208B EX by fixing various bugs and adjusting systems for a more realistic flying experience. Key features include updates to flight models, engine performance re-tuning, and modifications to cockpit systems such as the G1000 PFD and fuel selectors. The mod is fully career-compatible, meaning it replaces the original aircraft configuration, and installation is straightforward by adding it to the community folder. Compatibility is currently limited to MSFS 2024 SU4, with an update for SU5 expected soon.
