Starship

Fingers crossed we hear something. I'm surprised on the lack of reaction.

Ah, that would be because I missed a quotation mark. I've fixed my post above. Give that a try.

@ComputerJones sorry I took soo long to reply. Thank you very very much!!!

I get the same as well if you click on Display Runways when it's the origin.... [image: 37c73368-3a14-49ab-9fbb-7cda7bfd11e5.png]

I switched to mobiflight and they work now as described by @Avionic so it's definitely an AAO thing on my end.. I'll probably switch completely to mobiflight as the UI and formatting seems a bit friendlier. Thanks for the help, can't wait to enjoy all the physical interaction now!

@Aaron-Anderson I wanted to tell you that I have struggled to touch down smoothly with this thing since release, but I followed your technique and focused on rounding it out and flying it on and I had the smoothest touchdown I have ever had in the Starship in MSFS 2024. So smooth I wouldn't have known it was on without the sound of the tires. @Black-Square and your tip about not holding off the nose told me I should fly that on too, and I managed to both remember and execute despite my giant idiotic grin after the mains. Left the greasiest streak I've ever put to pavement in real life or in the simulator, fantastic advice!

You may find it more useful to use the CDU tuning by clicking NAV, COM, or ATC on the left side of the CDU keypad. No decimals required, and even if you don't have the RTU's in 3-digit mode it works great. Neat thing about the NAV tuning is that you can enter the 3-letter identifier and it'll auto-tune the frequency, clutch in a "slam dunk" situation when you're scrambling single-pilot to prep when ATC is running at a high tempo.

Okay I use SI instead of the ingame ATC, so no problem. Good to know, didn’t saw that option in the EFB

I stick to medium, personally. "Realistic" is absolutely insane and exaggerates way too much, especially on approaches with light or calm winds. Medium is still a bit heavy but it's more manageable without wrestling with the yoke and pedals. I would speculate that "realistic" works better with heavies but I don't fly many airliners in sim. I've noticed less an effect with the greater inertia in similar conditions, so I picked the middle ground, if even medium feels a bit too strong.

Thanks @jmarkows Brilliant. Missed that part and its been driving me nuts lol

@Black-Square I bet dealing with the simulator is rather frustrating, particularly given all the hard work and attention to detail you put into your aircraft. I’ve just moved into 2024 from 2020. I liked 2020 as a sim but always found that night time was very very dark, it that representative in my opinion. Your aeroplanes are fantastic and I can’t wait to see what’s up next.

Well, I was able to complete a 2024 flight where I started cold and dark, loaded a SimBrief flight, tweaked the flight plan in the EFB, and loaded to avionics. I was able to do an RNAV approach with vertical guidance in bad weather. Although full disclosure, the first time I tried this flight, somewhere around the time the aircraft was due to catch the GS, the autopilot went crazy and crashed the plane by pointing at the sky all of a sudden. Not sure if I can reproduce that, needs more testing. Really appreciate this update, being able to follow full flight plans is a game-changer.

Thanks, I'll pass this along. I think it's mainly the AP he's interested in.

What part of setting it up are you having trouble with? Do you understand how to use profiles, and how to assign events to buttons? Everything SPAD is mostly documented with Youtube videos. Which is nice if you can find a video that matches what you are trying to do, but it can also mean spending hours wading through content on topics that is not exactly what you are looking for, and wasting time on videos that are no longer relevant because of later changes to SPAD.

I find my pop culture knowledge rather good for a 53 year old US citizen, but Laugh-In was before my time. Anyhow, to aid a little better, a certain password in the Starship is "BurtRutan"

I think I had this once when I was running up with an ambient temperature above 40ºC (104ºF). After the avionics bay overheated, the message was shown. After shutting the avionics down for some minutes, it cooled enough to resume operations and get airborne.

@HansRoaming said in checklist item: pitch/roll/rudder trim set to 0 (neutral): I thought it meant numeric 0. Maybe putting pitch trim all the way down to 0 helps with taxiing in some fashion? Part of my confusion stems from this video: https://youtu.be/lGYOBP8VFVA?si=rry5RAripGu-FQrs&t=192 At 3:12, Nick calls for checking the trims, and Emanuel looks at them and responds "trims are neutral" with pitch trim in the default middle position, and Nick continues the checklist without commenting on that. But I'm not sure how much this means, because even if it's really supposed to be moved down to 0, Nick might've just decided to avoid slowing down the pace of the video for something that was unlikely to matter.

Awesome, made the change, hopefully now the MSFS updates have come out then 1.12 will be released soon.
