Starship

Yup, they were all mixed up. All taken care of. Thanks!

Okay, than we should collect data for Nick if we can. Maybe we can find out how to reproduce it.

@Black-Square well fantastic, since its realistic I'll embrace the idiosyncrasy!

Just some very quick responses: It should make no difference when you enable/disable the GNS. I'm seeing reports of this. I have an idea to get around a WT limitation. The AP transfer button is explained in the manual. It's for controlling the autopilot from the copilot's instruments. This is the intended operation. Vertical modes are controlled by Starship, while lateral and vertical approach guidance is supplied by the GNS in NAV or APPR modes.

@dadgametime said in Temperatures: Yeah, the instrument panel runs really hot. You’d think they would have found a way to pipe that hot air into the cabin/cockpit when needed. lol. I’m at FL340 over Alaska so it’s hard to be at any altitude where the plane will be able to warm the cabin/cockpit then. Have you tried setting the engine bleeds to high flow? I found out that at those altitudes it struggles to warm up the cabin, so setting the engine bleed to high worked for me, although it causes a very slight increase in fuel burn. So if you're stretching the legs and going for a max range run, you might not want to set it to high.

@hazzer111 Next stop, Flight Sim Expo at the end of the week! It's far from a vacation (I lose my voice by noon on the first day), but at least I get to meet some Starship fans and some excellent people

@Captain-Bakon That's correct, and they do, with position information supplied by that certified GPS. @milestobudapest That's how I fly it. I gathered the same is true for the real owners. As I said elsewhere, I have been fascinated by what I might term "Screens + FMS = SimBrief" effect with Starship. I suppose anyone can fly how they like, but even at the size/speed of Starship, most real world operators are more concerned with getting in and out of their destination expeditiously and enjoying the flight, rather than using briefing software to assign every leg of the route.

@Scorpio47 No worries a few people have been asking for it

Does anyone know a good resource to help me understand how to operate turboprops? I've been flying Turbofan planes for the past several years but have no idea how prop RPM works or is controlled with a constant speed prop. Also the Starship PT6 is configured kinda like a jet, intake at the front and exhaust at the back? so this is NOT a reverse flow engine?

@Black-Square said in Variable for GPU: L:bksq_ExternalPowerOn Just don't go plugging it in at FL410. The VNE of a GPU is 8.7 knots. Don't believe me? You will find it placarded on the GPU Can confirm!

I'm assuming you have you sim set to the proper units. What about on the Payload tab in the EFB, in the upper left there is a toggle. Does that do it?

Hi @Black-Square, as I am not a pilot I have to pick up everything from youtube When flying on vatsim IFR is a good point to start as it is relativly simple, it requires a flight plan however. That's easy to get with vatsim. Now if I just want to fly VFR, I found it hard to get my fingers on a good tutorial video to know what to do. So on vatsim for me the IFR option is not there. Maybe that has something to do with it, as people fly it like an airliner. If someone has some good material on where to start going VFR I would be very interested. Cheers

@Black-Square OK Nick thanks, I'll stop doing that with the Starship

Sounds good, thanks

@Black-Square So whatever reason caused MY issues with the install of the .a version, it is not causing any issues with the original installer (initial) used. Done several patterns with using ALL of the vertical/ lateral modes and it works as intended. (used the in-cockpit switches). Now on to SPAD.Next hardware assignments (ref: Manual Vars) Thanks Nick

What a wonderful message from a user I recognize so well. Thank you so much. I don't know if you've heard me talk about this on some streams and YouTube videos, but I was really worried that I was not going to be able to deliver an enjoyable true canard aerodynamics experience. The tricks I learned from the Velocity did not seem to scale well. In the end, weeks of work on spreadsheets yielded what you have experienced today. There are some things I would change if it was easier, but I think it provides just the right amount of challenge and stability. Thanks again, and glad you're enjoying Starship!
