    Who is this BlackSquare guy? A mix of Einstein and Mozart, able to work 48 hrs in a 24 hours day. I imagine he looks like Dr Emmet Brown (professor in back to the future). Creating an aircraft with no support from any previous work. Design is unique. Cockpit - nav system - everything is brand new, dynamics flight model down to 2% tolerance of diagrams. Add insane detail in systems and failures. Now you can talk about study level. Even the most experienced real life pilot learn something new. Just watch YouTube videos with real pilots. Starship hit the soft spot for me. An endless learning curve, often steep. But not frustrating as this is a slow stable aircraft. Throttle back to 160 knots and you have plenty of time to scratch both head and ass while figuring out how things work. Dropping down to my knees and kiss Nick`s feet, crabbing backwards out of the room while whispering ... thank you..... thank you ....... thank you........

    @Sunake I use warthog hotas, but guess it should matter, so if you need anymore examples let me know, here's what I've mapped so far https://postimg.cc/75qzJzqx

    @hughesj2 standard rate one turn is not based on a specific bank angle, as bank angle ≠ turn rate. As jmarkows said, a good rule of thumb is (TAS/10)+7. So for a hold at say 210KTAS, angle of bank should be 28 degrees. If you're flying something very slow (say a 172 flying a hold at 100KTAS) the bank angle needed will be significantly less (17 degrees) as you say.

    @Orlaam said in Order of checklist items: Well, it was funny to me because I'm still learning. So I was checking the items off in the list with the avionics and turned off the displays, then realized I had a few more items that I couldn't see, lol. How would one use this list without power to the list on the display without referring to paper? You follow what I'm saying? I did this yesterday. I was following the shutdown checklist and deliberately skipped the electronics so I could finish, then 10 seconds later I lost them anyway when I put both engines in cutoff. I very clearly did not think that through

    Ah, terribly sorry. I was seeking it in the manual but did not check the tablet schema. Great, thanks for confirming.

    Hi Nick, well I kinda think that, given the overall completeness of the product, these little things matter, but that's the geeky IRL pilot side of me, a side that's always been obsessed with avionics.... Any little flashing annunciator is important. Many thanks for the quick turnaround. Overall performance is excellent, maybe the flashing 'to-waypoint' indicator at 10s to turn would be ok too.... Really enjoying your creation.

    That's another one I've thought about for a long time. It's a little tricky to get right, since it would all have to be based off atmospheric pressure lapse curves to get it right, much like I've done for my pressurization system. Again... some day, haha.

    Yes, it appears Asobo removed that option in MSFS 2024. I have noticed the same behavior as you on SU3 Beta, and we have reported it to Asobo. You can either use Legacy interaction mode for now, or see if a mod to remove the highlighting works to fix it.

    Doesn't show up for me, either. I tried adding them via the EFB (contrary to the manual) just out of curiosity, but all that did was make my plane do a wheelie.

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

    omg, how the hell ignore that! Me stupid... @Black-Square what do you think about that strange thing that the starship obviously in real came wihtout a TCAS? You think we could have some "aftermarket" TCAS in that thing as an option? Thanks a lot for that great bird!
