Starship

@Jiblet said in Vars for the DH and MDA values?: screaming "THE DH 500!" into the void 60 times a second You've just described how I spend my weekends So glad I could bring the magic of Starship to another member of the community. Please let me know if you ever need anything else from me. You know where to find me!

The Navigraph survey is out too, put Starship down as a vote there as well. For anticipated releases it was "Anything by Black Square and the PMDG 737-700", I really like the BBJ. https://navigraph.surveysparrow.com/s/navigraph-flightsim-community-survey-2026/tt-DfDJ6

@Black-Square said in Copilot and passengers not visible: @qqwertzde When payloads are adjusted via the native payload interface in MSFS 2024, it causes Canard aircraft to flip over backwards. Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it. Pity that we can't have pax in the Starship then.

Interesting. I would have thought damage modeling would have allowed it to extend at any speed, and if you're past the extension or retraction speeds then you'd suffer effects. Is there a reason it's set to 190 instead of 200?

oh i have 0.1.0 but latest is 0.1.2 u think that could be the cause? EDIT : i've read the change log and there is something about it indeed so its on me thanks anyways!

@MD82 Feel free to use it a lot and let me know if you find any issues or inconsistencies. I moved away from the landing page look to give it more of a 'calculator' feel.

I had no problems starting the engines, in SU5, but I always wait for the N1 to settle (usually around 16-18%), for an as cold start as possible. Doing this, my engines maxed out att ≈700 ℃. I did, however, find a co-pilot hiding under the seat. That’s new in SU5… [image: 9d36f718-f48c-41de-89d7-f10bd3759668.png]

I would also love to get on this if its still an ongoing thing. I fly the Starship often and truly love this thing.

@jmarkows Thanks!

@Black-Square said in Can't Toggle Wheel Chocks via LVar: I don't think there is any reason you shouldn't be able to do exactly what it does in my code. All you should need is K:TOGGLE_ALTERNATOR1, K:TOGGLE_ALTERNATOR2, L:var_GeneratorReset_L, and L:var_GeneratorReset_R. Just set the latter two to 1 for the reset switch position. Setting L:var_GeneratorReset_L to 1 leaves it stuck in the Reset position, it doesn't do the momentary toggle back to the On position. I tried setting 0 afterwards, but then the switch in the cockpit is not able to be switched back to off until I scroll it up into Reset again.

Have you found out something about the issue?

@jmarkows said in Repeated NAV mode disconnects while VFR hopping: are you reverting to roll mode when you're still receiving the tuned VOR? Yes. In the most recent case, the FMS / VOR Status page showed the VOR in all three slots plus the DME. It was listed with a 130 nm range, the dropouts occurred on inbound and outbound legs beyond 50 nm. Inside 50 nm it's generally been fine. @DrZGard said in Repeated NAV mode disconnects while VFR hopping: we would much more often utilize the OMNI needle for verification of being on course and heading mode Thanks for the tip, I will give that a shot.

Digging up an old thread because I got back into the Starship after a few months. I was busy going over the equipment requirements again, to update my SimBrief profile. In short, if you're not using the GNS 430, but you accept the fact that your Starship has ONE GPS receiver: You are not capable of RNAV10 or RNP4 remote or oceanic as this requires two independent Long Range Navigation Systems. The Starship has 2 FMC's, but they are linked to only ONE receiver. Hence, they are not independent. (There is a designated area where only one LRNS is sufficient) Even though you meet all requirements for Terminal RNAV 1 SID's and STAR's, you can't accept one because it is not line-selectable from your FMS (FAA AC 90-100A 10. b. (3) "General Operating Procedures" pg. 13 You can fly an RNAV GPS approach down to LNAV minima, because you have a GPS receiver and the approach IS line-selectable from the database. Due to having only one GPS receiver, NAT HLA is also not approved. (Except for the fact that you're not RNP4/RNAV10 qualified anyways). Cheers,

@Black-Square did you ever have any luck with this? I dusted off Starship tonight to help someone learn how to program the FMS and very quickly rediscovered the joy. I had the same issue reported above though. I tried dialing in a speed on the ASI and then activating IAS PROF, and it didn't do anything. I cleared the setting on the ASI and tried IAS PROF again and it immediately picked up my current airspeed and started climbing.
