Confirmed lost my FP that I had built when switching to GPS.

Thanks Nick! I have guessed a limitation of approx. 15% but I will try with a quarter. I assume that one quarter tank is meant as one quarter of the main tanks which is 15.5 gallons, or approx. 104lbs/47kg (Jet-A).

+1 to this - I also have the "other" one, and while it scratches an itch - a BlackSquare version with all that entails, would blow the other one out of the water. Something about the Avantis have always appealed to me, but sadly have never had a super high quality one in the sim that also functions to the level I'd hoped.

@Marionettework It should work, though I can hardly say it would provide you with realistic ATC. Best free option is VATSIM for sure (and only option for myself as SayIntentions and BeyondATC are both quite unrealistic...). If it's just general ATC that you want it should work with the starship fine as it relies on Simbrief.

@intjmastermind I agree with @Marionettework and @AvApollo. The avionics in the Starship are coded the way the plane is and currently flown IRL. It is technically still possible to fly it IFR utilizing RNAV as the primary Nav Source. the VNAV page can be utilized to help achieve the correct rate of climb or descent needed to avoid having to level off for an altitude restriction. Also manually keying in fix-by-fix waypoints for SIDS and STARs is how it's done on the GNS 430/530 and many other common GPS units commercially today. Though IRL turboprops and smaller aircraft usually don't fly on the same procedures as larger airliners at all and are commonly vectored in (*depends on the airport). I usually only ever file direct IFR in real life unless it's a longer route or a Mandatory/Preferred IFR Route in the flight supplement exists. *Note: Simbrief works best when used for airliners and will consistently provide you with a SID or STAR meant for turbojet aircraft only (Not turboprop). Sometimes turboprop SIDs and STARs exist, so it's best to look up the available procedures before starting the flight (if you're trying to be realistic). If none exist, then expect to be vectored and if planning to stay IFR, brief yourself on the minimum IFR altitudes to be sure of adequate terrain clearance.

I purchased it from Just Flight. I did try the mod approach and it did not take. I'll take a look at that thread. Thank you.

No it's not sufficient. You have to engage the AP Master if it's not already on, and then activate set heading mode variable. With mobiflight it's working well this way, using only one hardware button. .

@Ratman I don’t really see this coming. I really think it is a detriment to continue to support MSFS2020. There is no walk around mode in 2020 anyway and the only way it could be a thing is if you click it in 3rd person and that would cause way more problems than it would be worth. It’s harder to support 2 sims and I think 2024 is actually more stable than 2020 right now. If you have the internet speed to support it I would absolutely make the jump if not, I would absolutely make yourself heard about a need for an offline mode in the MSFS forums because I think that is the only thing keeping people on 2020.

@NixonRedgrave said in Velocity Issues in MSFS 2024: The EGT & TIT(?) Temperatures are nearly always extremely hot unless the engine is barely working. This is a huge part of the fun of this aircraft! In all my flights I don't go all out at first, even during takeoff you can climb like a rocket with 75% throttle. During climb you can change the prop pitch and once your workload is reduced, start leaning the mixture. Leaning is the fun part, you enable the engine page in the G3X to keep an eye on things and use both the throttle and mixture. When you lean, you can't just lean, there's a peak when the temperatures go in the red. So you have to reduce the throttle as you lean, and once you're past the peak you can increase the throttle again. Afterwards, it's a mini-game to increase the throttle while leaning and still stay in the orange or green range. Different altitudes will require different values, and also it depends what fuel flow you're targetting. Another mini-game is to nail the fuel predictions in your LittleNavMap flight plan, so you watch your FF as you're doing all this (download the Velocity performance figures for LittleNavMap). During the flight, you watch your ground speed with satisfaction as you eek out the best performance from the aircraft while staying within the desired temps. Between this and all the GNT 750 features, there's hardly any time to look outside, only really on 1h+ flights.

Loading up a flight today and my trusty copilot is once again invisible. I think this is a problem with MSFS copilot, NOT Black Square's aircraft, as my copilot seems to deselect/unsave every time I start the sim. That means I have to reselect a copilot every time I start the sim but even this does not guarantee that they will appear.

@Black-Square I can confidently say that a Boris treatment of the TBM will be greatly appreciated by the community. The TBM is still one of my favorite aircraft that you have developed (and yes Ive purchased them all). I'm not sure what the ROI would look like, but in terms of good will, It would be huge.

Thanks for the IRL insight. I suppose I was thinking more about the fact that straightforward NAV autopilot to a VOR seemed to work OK, but the oscillation just seemed to be happening with NAV autopilot to the pseudo VOR.

@Black-Square Horrifyingly I read about a FedEx C208 crash not too long ago that took off with the control lock still on the control column...

@Canit said in Missing glass on instruments: resulting in the reflections to be low quality or pixelated This is one of the problems. Asobo added some different cockpit panoramas for us to choose from in MSFS 2024, but none of them are good options, in my opinion, and they seem to be about a quarter of the resolution of the MSFS 2020 one. They also changed something about the glass material that makes surface imperfections almost inseparable from the panorama reflections. Honestly (and this is exclusively a Nick opinion), I think they look horrible in MSFS 2024, but I will always do my best to make everyone happy. I'm tweaking every parameter and choosing different panoramas on a per-aircraft basis to get the best results. It seems that I've won over some of the anti-reflection crowd with the 114, and it's acceptable to me, so I think that's what I will try to do for the rest. Thank you all for your opinions.

Seriously, this aircraft absolutely needs the RNAV certified version.

@Zacke It is true the temps can take time to rise or fall based on ambient conditions. I will point out something interesting however. It is very possible to get an overtemp (especially cylinders) when climbing up high. Though its generally colder, the decrease in air density means its less efficient at taking heat away. A few years ago I was flying a turbo mooney at 17500. If I even thought of closing the cowl flaps the cylinders would spike in temperature. Always best to use the cowl flaps to give an engine what it needs, not by some generalized procedure.

@Woolies That looks excellent! Great work

Thank you for the feedback. We have forwarded that to our artists for further investigation. Mark - Just Flight
