Starship

In general I would love to see more mapping to standard key commands by 3rd party developers - I’m on Xbox so strictly limited to 2024 in-game commands. The stock 172 and Caravan, for example, offer extremely generous control mappings (every button on the GPS unit, rotary light dials etc).

Yeah, I wasn't sure. I'm creating my SPAD.next profile. Thanks !

Thanks Nick for the answers!

Oh yeah there was also a co2 detector failure that I missed - saw it when I was resetting the oxygen leak. I didn't notice the oxygen leak until I'd lost almost half of it

(I just attempted a post here that appears to have failed so I apologise if it subsequently appears as a duplicate) I tried both methods you asked about with no success I'm afraid. If it helps at all, this is the flightplan text string out of Simbrief.

I also have the PLN file I could send along for analysis if that's helpful. (In case anyone is wondering about the craziness of this plan, it was intended to give me a rough guide to a closed circuit for a high speed low level run through the marble canyon and grand canyon areas.)

@Torcsen said in External power startup - FMS-checklist items order: However, it seems the flight plan and alignment were stored in memory, because everything came right back when I switched to generator power. If you use the Fuel Mgmt page on the CDU to enter your starting fuel, be aware that the value is zeroed if you cycle power on the CDU.

Yes, funny

@AlphaEcho this is a beta SU4 issue I think. Ive been flying the starship alot recently and had no issues with lighting before latest SU4 BETA..

@Torcsen I used to put the version in the file name, but I was politely asked to stop doing this because it didn't play nice with the installer/updater for some reason. Looking at the end of the contents for the changelog, or the changelog itself, should tell you if it's up to date. It appears that Starship's manual has never been updated on the website. I was under the impression that this would be done at the same time as release. My apologies. I'll see that everything is updated soon. In the meantime, you can always find the latest manuals packaged with your aircraft, assuming you have a non-marketplace version of the aircraft.

@Black-Square Ah - that sounds good. Could even be that I had instinctively been using enter in the past, as a carryover of my operation of the KLN-90B. There, pressing enter is bound to the physical ENT key, so fx route entry can be handled entirely on the keyboard. But of course that is also a system with a different philosophy, with dedicated keys instead of LSKs, so a bit more logical to make a full on keyboard operation mode for it.

@Dingle The MSFS mod won't work in FS2024. If you still want to disable blue highlights do what I did. link to MSFS forum. It won't work for all planes but works for Aerostar and many other planes that use default Asobo templates for mouse interactions.

Just installed TBM and DUKE in 2024, and now with the new b-event system playing in all the default aircraft, it's a bit sad to be back in a cockpit with static knobs and buttons

@MikeyFlyz Why would you not be able to share it?

I think I've talked myself into this working as designed. The progress page reports the distance from your aircraft to the first waypoint, and the distances between subsequent waypoints. If you are flying away from the first waypoint, all of the distances will increase, which is what I saw the other day. In that case though, I was flying away from the first waypoint and towards the second, which caused a little cognitive dissonance (why is the distance to the waypoint I'm flying towards increasing, not realizing until later that the distance is not the distance to the next waypoint, it's the distance from your aircraft to the first waypoint and then the second).

I figured it out, system control -> GNS -> Nav source -> FMS1

**Typo above ^ I meant to say RNAV 0.3 for the AMS-850 but LNAV only and definitely not RF capable. My b.

Tips I've found if you want to keep your avionics bays as cool as possible. Turn on the ALTN and leave it on. As soon as you have the engines lit: Bleed air valves to Both Temp mode to Auto CKPT and CABIN Blowers all the way up Turn the CKPT temp all the way down (the inner knob) Set the Cabin temp so that the Temp Mode Target on the Cabin page on the tablet shows 70 degrees or whatever you want the cabin temp to be. turn on the lights master and turn down the displays (less heat) You can have those bays in the green most of the time doing those things. If your cabin temp won't stay with the set temp (Temp mode target on the Cabin page on the tablet will turn red) then turn the bleed air valves up to High Flow.
