Starship

Just a typo. Fixed. Thanks for letting me know.

Thank you both!

And here not limited to the AP (though I suppose the root cause is the same)

It's both by design, but also because there's not much I can do about it. I can't control what's happening inside the GNS, so it just switches back by way of overriding it. I suppose I could make the CDI button inop on the GNS... I don't think it's used to anything else. Thanks for leaving the note, though. I'm sure there will be someone else with the same question.

I think I found where I added a piece of code within a few days before release that probably caused this. I'm giving Direct-To a major overhaul anyway, so this should be fixed in the process. Thanks for telling me so I knew what I was looking at in my code.

I forget how that lovely gentleman implemented it after some of our conversations, but I can always ask. I will take a look in his code too for ideas. That's actually an excellent suggestion.

There is always a small chance, but it's very low on my list, as you might imagine. It would be relatively easy for me to add the functionality of the EDM, as you suggested; however, I figured that anyone who wanted the MX screen would also want the data to be logged and saved between flights. That's where the real work begins. I'm so glad you're enjoying it, though

I'm glad it was a quick win. If only they were all that easy! Thank you!

It's just gonna take a few more months. I mean look at all the logged items that are broken in 2024, lol. It's a long list. I live in Phoenix, AZ and I can't get the buildings or terrain to look anything like the real thing. 2020 looks way more accurate for me in PHX, but I swear I've seen V1 fly on his streams and PHX looked great. It's very strange. The problem I think a lot of us have is the way MS/Asobo are creating a sim, updating it, then abandoning it for a newer version. The atmosphere, sky coloring, ground textures are so much better in 24, as is the FDE and other features like the tablet with charts and a good little planner. However, it'll be several months before we can positively say it's "stable". Heck, even AI traffic in 2020 with FSLTL is still goofy at times. In a way it's always been this way, FS2002, FS9, FSX all had relatively minor updates every 4 years, but they did break older add-ons. It's just that you had 4 solid years of code that didn't change. Now it's much like P3D where frequent updates require developers to go tweak things to continue to work. I don't envy developers in this regard, but make no mistake, the work you guys do is very much appreciated and I really enjoy some of the art we get.

That's correct. That section of the manual is always chronically neglected by me for some reason... I've fixed it.

I just think anything dynamic like that would be too resource heavy and not an effective use of code. I do think it would be cool to hear prerecorded aviation SELCAL tones and reports, but they would have to be long enough to play without just repeating. Say one recording, as you dial 8864, plays a couple aircraft reporting positions and confirming SELCALs, but reverts to noise and doesn't play again unless you tune off the frequency several KCs or something.

@jmarkows if you watch the tablet for the engines, you can see the various type of FOD being ingested, dirt, rocks, snow, rain, sand etc. when you fly through clouds at altitude, you’ll see a snowflake so ice is a risk to do damage and you’ll see a snowflake ️ in the FOD area. Wouldn’t it be nice if real planes told you that, but I guess that’s why we have checklists and rules.

While you don't have to feel bad for me, it's actually almost impossible to predict what will make a programmer upset in this respect. There's a good image I've seen to explain this. It says... Programming is chaotic magic. There are no rules. You ask a game dev "Can the player summon a giant demon that bursts from the ground in an explosion of lava?" and they'll say "sure, that's easy!". Then you'll ask "can the player wear a scarf?" and they'll go "oof." I'm always glad that people point out these little things to me, by the way. Never hesitate!

Bumping so this one doesnt get lost in the mix

I live for stuff like this. Pretty please can we have it?

I have checked the settings, the flight model was set to modern and the turbulence to realistic. I have changed the turbulence setting to low and wake turbulence to off and was able to fly a traffic pattern at EDDL without any issues. The flight model is fantastic imho, I dont have that "suspended on rubber bands" feeling certain addon aircraft have, at all. One question though, how do you remove the floppy disc from the drive? It ejects if you click the latch, but is there a click spot to place it back on the shelf?

@jmarkows This is correct. Trip planning is only for estimation of your intended flight, much like in the AUX pages of the GNS or Tools pages of the GTN. The MFD Progress or CDU FMS Data screens have the real-time information you are looking for.

thanks a lot @Black-Square , very much appreciated. Its often the little things bringing big joy

Oh, I missed that there was a second thread about this. If you are willing, please go try the first and very simple change that I recommend in this thread to help me pinpoint the issue. Thank you!
