    Unfortunately I still has this issue randomly coming up even after 1.2 . It only happens to Starship and I believe it has to something with custom avionics. Recently I upgraded to RTX5090 thinking may be related video memory issue obviously its not . I tried several long hauls routes without any issue. Then intermittent stutter came back - every second micro stutter. It usually happens enroute and all the way to the landing. I program FMS manually typing each waypoint using keyboard. The only thing come to my mind is something to do with waypoint programing.

    I wonder if it will still work if you reinstall Navigraph. I have the latest AIRAC installed through the Navigraph hub and it works fine. Maybe something didn’t install properly the first time?

    I'm not sure how to (or if it's possible to) post from mobile, so I'll just link to my Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DOsjGBpjnog/?img_index=6&igsh=MWt5eHQxZDFmazBkbw==

    @jmarkows You were right, and it's the current version on MP, I tried letting it switch automatically on capture and it worked that time. Not honestly entirely sure what I did wrong the first time, maybe forgot to preselect the course(?) but you'd think that it would still follow the localizer(unless that messes it up?). Dunno, it was my first instrument approach and second flight in the Starship so brain was quite busy. Appreciate the comment though, otherwise I probably would've just assumed it doesn't auto swap being a rather antiquated fully integrated avionics system and been swapping manually for who knows how long.

    @Black-Square in Germany we have a saying: Ich nehme alles zurück und behaupte das Gegenteil. Which translates to: I take verything back and am now saying the opposite. I just did a longer flight. The problem isn't your plane, it's the simbrief profile that seems to be a bit off, predicting a lot more fuel burn. On shorter flights that are between one or two hours airtime it's so severe that it actually presented to be in parallel with my use of the sim-rate. After a four hour flight (with a noticeable headwind) it's a bit closer and not in parallel with my use of the sim-rate. Hope you didn't put any time in investigating this, yet. Sorry about this.

    Yes, it’s as simple as replacing a single file. It has the words “gauge glass” in the name. Sorry, I’m not at my desk right now. If you can create a blank or modified .dds (2020) or .kxt2 (2024) file, you could just drop the file in the aircraft’s texture folder for yourself. The more “correct” way to do this in MSFS is to create a mod, which is loaded in your community folder. If you’ve never done this before, it can be a little tedious to set up, but for anyone familiar with the process, it will only take a couple minutes.

    Thanks for the quick response! I shut the sim down and restarted it, the issue disappeared and systems now operate normally and the Hobbs meter works now. Go figure. Thanks for the great aircraft!!!

    Thanks for the screenshots! That always makes troubleshooting so much easier. I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying Starship. She will always be my favorite. Everything looks like it’s configured correctly. This might sound like a silly question, but what weather are you looking for on the horizon? I’ve seen many users who are not aware that weather radar only detects precipitation, and not clouds.

    @Black-Square the distance is absolutely fixed i can see the starship from miles away in the daytime, but you might have only rigged the lights to the highest level of LoD? Cheers

    @ProfCrash Unfortunatly, but it was mentioned many times before the release of MSFS ‘24. Honestly I’m a bit surprised to not finding any documentation on the feature either.
