If I can purchase from a developers own site versus the marketplace I do so - because updates are horrendously slow on the marketplace. I made the mistake of buying a few aircraft from the marketplace (none from bksq) before I learned that lesson.

@Flightjust_BE I went heavier on the wear for the Caravan, since they tend to be workhorses, rather than pampered private aircraft like the Baron and Bonanza, but are you using 3rd party liveries, perhaps? Here is an example of what the Baron should look like with my official liveries. [image: bdcc634d-fcb4-488c-b08d-bc74dabdab12.png]

@Matt_J25 The news/article will appear on the Just Flight website. I can't say when but that'll be your source. Of course if you do miss it it'll get discussed on this forum too.

No difference between Ultra and High texture setting. This is on Ultra: YouTube Go fullscreen and select 4K playback and it's clear. Approx. timestamps: 40s 1m10s 1m40s 2m26 2m55 3m09s It seems distance related, it drops as I move away and recovers as I move closer, but it also seemed to recover when I looked away. Toward the end I wondered about the copilot AS indicator, but that's inconclusive.

@Derek Thank you for the pointer. Fingers crossed I think I resolved it.

@Trening You can get it at flightsim.to and maybe simmarket as well. Around USD 20 if I remember right. I use it for everything after the sim losing all my controller profiles twice. There's a learning curve but once you understand it, it's pretty easy to just do the simple bindings. If you get deeper into it, it gets more complicated and time consuming looking for simvars and events to bind your hardware to. There are some profiles people have posted for various aircraft; I seem intent on doing everything the hard way lol You can also try doing it with MobiFlight, which is free. I don't love the interface, but it works -- I use it quite a bit for my WinCtrl 737 panels. You can check it out at Mobiflight.com

Hello Derek, Thank you for your answers. So, if I understand correctly, it is not really possible to add a new database year. You can only switch between the existing databases.

I use the GN430 with the F28-4000 and the Skyhawk 152 steam-gauge flying in the USA for low altitude IFR (US certified IFR pilot) and flight planning is done with a I tablet running WingXPro, that gives you all that is needed: including STARS, approach plates etc, then use that to setup the GPS unit. Also if VORs are not active (using MSFS2020) then use the GPS with the OBS option.

Hi, I'm the developer of the KLN-90B. The real unit does not calculate a VNAV path and therefore does not output any sort of VNAV information to other avionics or to the autopilot. You would need to fly those approaches with CDFA manually. The manual of the KLN mentions that the database only contains approaches that the KLN is capable of flying. However, a pilot who still uses the KLN in the real world, showed me, that the database actually contains pretty much all RNAV approaches, even those that the KLN would not be legally allowed. Therefore, there is now hardly any filtering for the approaches anymore. Handy for us sim pilots... If you are interested in discussing the KLN capabilities further, there is a link to the Discord server on the Github page of the KLN-90B. I only check the JF forums occasionally.

I definitely know how I'll be spending my weekend

Thanks for the notes, I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the aircraft! There is a lot of love for the TBM in the community, so I am always happy to apply fixes and port new features to it over the years. I know I fixed the trim master switch issue a while back (awaiting the next update), but I'm surprised nobody else reported the window rain effects yet! I've just fixed that for the next update too. I also fixed the composite mode electrical issue a while back, which was a little less trivial to unravel. The DME issue was actually just a display problem, rather than a radio problem, but it reminded me of a limitation with the aircraft, just in case you go looking after the next update. I boxed myself into a corner, because there is a limit on the number of NAV radios we can "spawn" in MSFS, and I need at least one to drive the DME holding. With the KNS RNAV, that leaves only one DME holding receiver to share between the pilot and copilot's DME unit. This means that whichever one is put into hold mode last will override the holding frequency of the previous one. With what an infrequently used feature this is, I figured it would go unnoticed in normal operations. Lastly, I'm not surprised about the FD in MSFS 2024... Last time I checked, there were some undocumented changes made to the flight director that I had yet to fully investigate. I had hoped they would be reverted, but apparently not. I'll take a look later today, and see what I can learn about the new behavior. Thanks again, and let me know if there is anything else I can do for you!

I haven't seen any reports like this with any of my aircraft, but the only thing that should affect the aircraft like this is obviously the weight and balance. I suspect you had an enormous baggage payload, which was recalled when the aircraft loaded. Can you share a screenshot of the tablet's payload page when the aircraft loads? Just resetting it once, and ensuring the state was properly saved should spare you the trouble in the future.

I opened a ticket with SI on this also. For me, it wasn't doing this a couple weeks or so ago and doesn't do it when the SI app is closed. Must be they are turning com1 back on in MSFS due to tickets with people that don't know how it works. X-Plane 12 works perfectly, I can switch mics and turn off radio receivers without the com1 receiver coming back on after a few seconds with the SI app connected.

Hi . Is there any news on this ? Thor H

@MD82 said in Perfection defines the BS Starship: @alanfernandes said in Perfection defines the BS Starship: Hi! You can find the cruise performance tables in the official Pilot's Operating Manual for the Starship. Here's the link: https://rps3.com/Files/Starship/Flight%20Deck%20Publications/Starship%20Pilot's%20Operating%20Manual.pdf It includes all the power setting data and performance charts you're looking for. Hope this helps! Cheers. Those I have and use since day 1. I was merely asking because your picture is in digital format. I actually use the manual along with AI to interpolate and calculate the numbers. Those results you saw were generated by the AI, and they line up perfectly with the manual.

Just a personal observation on this. When i bought the baron and bonanza packages and did my first flights. The same happened to me. What i noticed was that on my yoke profile in controll settings, i had "set nosewheel limit" mapped for the piaggio 180 on a button. Maby i pressed that in flight. After i removed it on a new profile i never had this issue ever again. I only had the locked steering issue on day 1 of owning these planes and it has never happened again since. This is on msfs 2020. Maby it helps.

The new weather radar API applies only to WASM based instruments, so unfortunately not right now. Sorry to disappoint.

It's simply the difference between ISA and OAT. You will come up with either a + or a - difference from ISA. With that you enter the tables. Say you're at FL370. Either the POH (ISA Power setting table) or the aircraft will tell you that ISA is -57°C. Now check you're OAT (IOAT). If your OAT is -47°C, then you're at ISA+10 (10°C warmer). Caution against comparing IOAT value on the instrument against the table value. This value changes with speed, and as your power setting is not set yet, the difference in values might differ as you try to set the power setting.
