Starship

@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!

Thank you, guys, so much. I have a layover flight later tonight and will return in 2 days. Will get straight back to it as soon as I return.

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?

I also wondered about this.

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!

@lancealotg Yeah he gets major details wrong very early, the BS meter pegs hard right away. But I'll read it for the entertainment.

That is because a lot of RNAV SIDs and STARs have special leg types that can’t be replicated with manual waypoint entry. AIRNC 424 specifies 23 different leg types such as course to altitude, heading to intercept, radius to fix, DME arcs, etc. Of these 23 legs, only fix to fix legs can be easily replicated by manual entry. If you find a STAR or SID that only has fix to fix routing, there’s no technical reason why you can’t fly it. You can perform the others with some creative flying, but it technically won’t be as accurate as a fully AIRNC 424 capable navigation system. Hence why the regulations require you to select all procedures from the database. Better safe than sorry.

@Marionettework said in Engaging the autopilot for an ILS approach??: 320 Sim Pilot has an ILS approach with GS in the last portion of this video: https://youtu.be/z_r2WFCm2WI Perfect thank you

UPDATE: Modifying the LVAR using units of Feet does work!

No sorry that was not clearer. IAS, VS, Decent just would not engage and I thought I had everything unbound. Come to find out the one thing I did not unbind was my stream deck+. I unplugged it and this flight everything is working fine. Thanks for the quick replies tho.

Find my post above. Already done

@Black-Square You mentioned oscillations at high altitudes, I am currently cruising at 25000ft and fly with FMS 1 as nav source (AP NAV SRC is FMS as well) and NAV Hold selected and I get roll ocillations and my heading changes +-3deg over a period of pretty much 30sec. Is there anything I may be doing wrong?
