Starship

@CapVideo They seem quite random, but are fairly frequent with ILS still... Haven't gotten a chance the last bit but hoping to do more testing on it to find any common scenarios at least. Thanks!

Just noticed this today - fuel burn goes way down at higher sim rates. I'm at 36k feet right now with my fuel flow showing at 250 pph per side at 1x sim rate. If I turn it up to 4x it goes down to 226 pph and 8x goes down to 160 pph. I do use sim rate quite a lot for long cruises - I'm flying the Starship around the world right now.

Maybe I have seen a similar issue (but on SU4 beta, don't know if that plays probably a role) I was on a course which had sth like a wide rectangle path. [image: 87f4610b-0448-436f-81e3-df107cac48df.png] Original active leg was from the left position to 1 (note: its just for illustration. "1" was not the first WPT on the plan) Then I set a direct-to to 3. What happened then was, that the leg from 2 to 3 got magenta. And the Starship was flying a course like the direction from 2 to 3. But not heading to the leg or to 3. What I would have been expecting was, that it steers at this point directly to 3, maybe "illustrated by a magenta line from PPOS to 3?! But no line was drawn, just the active magenta leg from 2 to 3. I then made a direct to to 4, leg 3 to 4 got active and Starship was flying to that leg. Mysterious ...

Oh okay. Maybe it's a case where my references are too old and the starships you modeled this after behave differently? But yeah the other stuff I mention was fixed so thank you for that and sorry, it's just the manual boot tests are not displaying and extinguishing the various messages.

@OrangeAnon Thanks so much, this has fixed my issue! I might give in and use something like mobiflight in the future. For now I'll just accept the quirks of the native MSFS way.

[image: 0f68280a-aa93-4bdf-9527-e502c8fab584.jpeg] I had to take a screenshot from a video I took at USNA while visiting my son there. Across the water from the years, you can see the three remaining VLF towers. Sorry. It was a drizzly day.

I've had another AP coupled VOR approach fail. This approach had a standard teardrop intercept, so I set NAV2 on the outbound radial and NAV1 to the inbound radial. As I approached the IAF I activated NAV2 as the source and pressed NAV. She coupled to the outbound radial and flew it beautifully, Using HDG mode at the completion of the outbound I set up a standard 30-degree intercept to the inbound radial, changed the Nav source to VOR1 and pressed NAV. It flew right through the radial without intercepting, so I finished the approach manually.

The whole bundle, it's cheaper than buying them separately

@piosto All good

Yes, it’s as simple as replacing a single file. It has the words “gauge glass” in the name. Sorry, I’m not at my desk right now. If you can create a blank or modified .dds (2020) or .kxt2 (2024) file, you could just drop the file in the aircraft’s texture folder for yourself. The more “correct” way to do this in MSFS is to create a mod, which is loaded in your community folder. If you’ve never done this before, it can be a little tedious to set up, but for anyone familiar with the process, it will only take a couple minutes.

Thanks for the quick response! I shut the sim down and restarted it, the issue disappeared and systems now operate normally and the Hobbs meter works now. Go figure. Thanks for the great aircraft!!!

Thanks for the screenshots! That always makes troubleshooting so much easier. I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying Starship. She will always be my favorite. Everything looks like it’s configured correctly. This might sound like a silly question, but what weather are you looking for on the horizon? I’ve seen many users who are not aware that weather radar only detects precipitation, and not clouds.

Anyone know if this question has already been answered somewhere? If so, please link…

@Kaaplink Thanks, my idiot self had not updated to V1.2. Once I did that and turned on the setting, it worked perfectly! Thanks a million!

@ProfCrash Unfortunatly, but it was mentioned many times before the release of MSFS ‘24. Honestly I’m a bit surprised to not finding any documentation on the feature either.

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.
