Analog King Air - the second release in Black Square's Steam Gauge Overhaul series for default Microsoft Flight Simulator aircraft - is now on sale!
This new study-level add-on for the default MSFS King Air 350i provides a completely new interior and panel for the default MSFS King Air, featuring analogue instrumentation (steam gauges), swappable radio configurations and an overhauled electrical system with every circuit breaker, bus, meter, switch and knob functioning. Users will find increased detail on the instrument panel and electrical panels when compared to default aircraft and a similar level of detail in the cabin.
The panel of the aircraft contains only fully 3D gauges, modelled and coded to match exactly their real-world counterparts.
Radio and navigation systems are available from several eras of the King Air’s history, so users can fly without GPS via an original Bendix KNS-80 RNAV system or with the convenience of a Garmin GTN 750 (PMS50 or TDS). Other swappable radio equipment includes Collins CTL NAV/COM radios, CTL-62 ADF, GNS 530, IND-42 DME, CTL-92 transponder, APS-65 autopilot and a Bendix RDR1150XL colour weather radar.
An extensive manual provides instruction on all installed equipment, and numerous in-game checklists with control/instrument highlighting are included for normal and emergency procedures.
For the full list of all the included avionics and equipment, see the information on the Analog King Air page, where you can also download the extensive PDF manual.

It’s with a great deal of regret that we have taken the tough decision not to proceed with any further development of both the 747 Classic and A300B4-200 for Prepar3D.
We appreciate that this will be disappointing for those of you who are still flying in P3D and have been looking forward to a study-level airliner, but the drastically reduced number of P3D users since the release of Microsoft Flight Simulator sadly makes further development of the 747 and A300 for P3D an unviable proposition for us.
We are, however, working to release both aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator, taking full advantage of all the latest features offered by this new platform. We'll bring you some firmer details about a development schedule in due course.
We thank you all for your patience and understanding and our sincere apologies to all of you who were looking forward to flying these airliners in P3D.
