I expect Just Flight to develop the Hawker Siddeley Trident series for MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024, not JustTrains, okay?

@intjmastermind It would not even the legal to key in the procedure yourself in the real world. FAA and EASA rules explicitly state that you have to get them whole from a database. But I agree with you. Such an option would be great. Imagine starship would still be supported. It won’t be a far fetched idea that the avionics would have been upgraded accordingly. I don’t need full VNAV guidance. Just the procedures. And at least a GTN 650.

@Deadeye313 I looked at the SIDS and STARS extensively for the starship. Both FAA and EASA do require the procedure to be able to load from a database. Neither the KNS nor the starship can do that. I am debating if you can user program a procedure in starship yourself, as a stored flightplan, to be loaded. But that is different story.

Thank you for the feedback. I've just had a read of the FCOMs, and it does look like the speed brake lever should return to the IN position during automatic retraction. I have logged this on our internal tracker for our development team to look into further. Mark - Just Flight

May be of interest... https://community.justflight.com/topic/11221/question-about-upcoming-updates Cheers James

@Black-Square Thank you for fixing it, I really appreciate your constant support to the community. I also highly respect you for having to deal with all of us xD Have a good day!

@Black-Square Hi Nick, looking forward to the upgrades....I see echo19 has created a soundpack for theTBM850....Will any of this batch of upgrades include an official BlackSquare TBM850 soundpack update? Cheers James

Surely some self control is all that's needed there! Perhaps what would be nice is something like the old fsx a2a aircraft where on the pop up/tablet etc you can choose to inspect the aircraft which when lists the damage/wear and tear.

I've figured out where things went wrong. I used the Contrail store to check the version installed, and that indicated wrong. So now I have the latest version installed. I checked the changelogs of the last 2 versions, and indeed all these issues I have were actually incorrect and fixed in those later versions which I did not have. So when I reinstalled suddenly the plane behaved differently than I remembered, simply because I had an outdated version before I was used to. Mods feel free to remove or close this topic if necessary.

Disclaimer, not a dev, info might be gappy or misremembered: FS9, FSX, and MSFS have for ever and always had essentially no way to realistically implement proper turboprop simulation due to core sim limitations, which I'm sure you might know. In recent years BS and a few other developers have managed to squeeze somewhat realistic behaviour out of the platform despite its faults, but still it's only ever been possible to properly recreate turboprop physics by running the addon's physics outside the sim which is rare (Majestic is the only one I know to have done it). Nick is a magician, but even so there's only so much that can be done in recreating a turboprop within MSFS, at least up until now. SU6 included a lot of turbine simulation improvements in its change log, hopefully this will translate to an easier life for devs and a more faithful recreation for us consumers. It's all hope for now though, I haven't seen any devs comment on it yet and it wouldn't be very surprising to find out that the changes hasn't helped all that much, but my fingers are very much crossed! Edit: Again, with no specific knowledge, it's also possible that the SU6 improvements could be great for a ground-up project, but require a complete rework of existing products. Just speculation.

@Black-Square Thanks for help, your code works well, but I'll use it as a temporary solution. Is there any chance that you could output these needle variables to some simvars in a future update?

I have the TDS GTNXi and it is usually in my cockpits. Not used it once in the Commander yet as just feels so freeing without it lol

SU6 seems to have resolved ALL of the LOD issues inside of the cockpit - even the CO2 detectors in VR (woohooo). But not this one - the Duke's recognition lights are still inside the fence and blinding.

Can you share with us the route?

@Black-Square I might add. the default set pitot heat key-bind is also not working for me in msfs2024.

FYI Nick - SU6 fixed the LOD issues with the CDU etc with the Pimax crystal super and the Starship. Everything looks to be rendering great now
