LKPR Prague to LOWS Salzburg in the wonderful Starship... [image: 61f635e8-23c6-4ae8-9cbe-c302155776ea.png] [image: 00a826fa-b2f5-4431-978d-86d90e2eef2a.png]

Just wanted to say I use Simbrief then import into World Map Flight Planner using the plugin. This generally means the aircraft I'm flying picks it up and also Beyond ATC does too. The Starship FMS imports it nicely, the G430 doesn't so I've disabled it and add anything via the FMS if I need to during flight such as a STAR change.

For me, enabling C-State was like Gandalf tapping my PC with his cane. AB SO LUTE night and day. Thank you for this suggestion. I was going crazy with the cruise stutters with all hardware loads under 70%.

I'm on the original setup as well. I have nearly finished my ferry from Wichita to Europe via the northern route, and have deselected the 430 from day one, as well as the GPS augmentation on the original system. VATSIM is a bad excuse in my opinion. While I fly on IVAO, I have never ever had any issues flying classic aircraft with classic navigation methods online. I have flown over the pond with the A2A Stratocruiser navigating by stars and weatherships, flown the 707 with INS and radio navigation, and was never turned down by ATC. Sure working an aircraft which is unable for certain procedures increases workload on both sides (hold over...), but also the fun factor. Because it's different and not the same as other aircraft, packed in a different shell. On the Dukes I'm simulating a personal aircraft that has been updated to the latest avionics (and would love to get rid of this RNAV receiver). For the Starship the original equipment is fantastic. Simbrief route import via floppy would be nice, but that's all. Of course, only my personal opinion.

@Gilandred Yeah so I don't think the runways "read" the magvar so I'd expect that someone (Asobo/MS for this airport) would have to manually amend the runway numbers and maybe localisers etc? Probably just been missed

Interesting thread, I've had the same thing when using heading mode, I can see the GS and LOC on my display but APP didn't trigger so ignored the FD and flew down using the LOC and GS indicators. This happened after Vectors to ILS from Beyond ATC, when flying in a STAR and using Nav then wasn't an issue, APP worked as expected. Glad to see the issue wasn't between the keyboard and chair

@Andydigital and that’s why telling me what I can and cannot do? Oh the hypocrisy. I have a different option than you. Deal with it.

@SaabFAN86 I have no idea what format that text and color information is supposed to be presented in, nor how to get it to you. Can you give me an idea of how these other units work? I suspect this is not something that's possible from the JavaScript context, but I will do it if it's remotely possible, or send you a custom solution if it's not something I want to include for all users.

Ah, IAPS. Which, if you were curious is still a component (and abbreviation) used in all the modern Collins stuff right up to Proline 21 Advanced.

@plhought Hey Thanks for the video! Here is the AFX text for the 350 that shows the same behavior Video rewind to watch the prop governor test as well but the feather really shows the torque spike

Even with the avionics powered?

@Black-Square Sure, you are welcome. John Hodgson or Mark Allison should have my contact details.

@CoolGunS said in Localiser Tracking: TIP: Ensure you know the exact Final Apch Crs from the ILS approach chart and set your VOR1 needled precisely to it so that it does track the right heading to the threshold. What Nick said, it is retro tech and yes it does act a lot like a police dog following the scent from the pair of gloves. Or if you’re lazy or you forgot or don’t have the chart, you can fly using FMS until the last turn and then click CRS 1 to set the current course.

Absolutely, I really appreciate the amount of work that has gone into this.

Trust me, I would if I could on this one. To the best I can tell (and have reported on the developer forums), they actually hard-coded their own registration "instruments" to work during the aircraft preview screens, while all other "instruments" are disabled. This is why bypassing the aircraft preview, and loading the session without changing the aircraft, allows the registration to still work in 2024.

@piosto It doesn't make any significant difference in ITT if starting feathered vs. full forward. On the actual aircraft, the peak ITT is usually achieved well before the propeller RPM has reached a hundred or so. Battery and hot section condition are the primary determinants in the health of your starts. The only reason you maybe keep things feathered with an external power start, is simply for noise and comfort of the ground crew. They have to remove the GPU plug from the L/H wing. Less air being drawn and sucked across the wing. Reduces risk of a hat or something being drawn into the spinning propeller. It's less an issue though with Starship's "backward" PT6 installation.

@ProfCrash said in RPM goes up and up in reverse: next

It’s absolutely fixed now @Marionettework !

Metroliner.. ^^

I wouldnt know. I'm pretty sure at altitude you'd be below the gear speed till 12-13k anyways. Patrick
