Starship

@Avionic Since you mention mobiflight, would that work with yourcontrols?

As far as I understand it and correct me if I am wrong, appart from convenience, the GNS 430 only lacks the ability to fly holds. The flight plan from simbrief can be imported to MSFS and from there to the GNS 430. So I think most of us will be fine. I appreciate the GNS 430 being included in the Starship.

@Black-Square said in Starship LOD issue with panel buttons: Thanks for your thoughts on this. Adding the extra geometry would solve the problem, but I'm worried about mouse collision issues. What if you put the invisible box part completely behind the button? It’s probably ok if the box obscured by the panel, the button is visible so the object is technically (partly) in front, and I’m not even sure the sim culls it just because it looks obstructed to us. And yes, I would try it on one button first just to see if it works. Oh, also if this button already is an object with LODs, the LOD0 doesn’t have to have the box, and that’s what you would be pressing (when it’s close enough to manipulate). The last LOD with the box would only exist when you’re far away and not pressing the button. Another idea: you could also try to trick it with something tiny like a single vertex, or maybe even by putting the object origin far away (that last one I’m not sure).

We definitely need a simbrief profile for this nice bird.

@Marionettework I saw! Maybe I can get advanced access to help find other issues 😂

I certainly thought about doing that, but I couldn't think of an easy and meaningful way to implement the drift that would result from that. If I come up with something, I will certainly add it. Sometimes it just takes one good walk outside to come up with the right solution.

Great question! Those original POH's for Starship are actually quite outdated and inaccurate as far as the avionics are concerned. I found many errors that must have been present when the aircraft was first delivered, but the software also received major updates well into the aircraft's life. As a result, there are many features I experienced while visiting the aircraft that are not documented in those original handbooks.
