@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.

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

Didn't realize you needed clearance to start a small piston in EU, sounds absurd to me with the amount of training flights starting simultaneously at my home airport.

Thanks both of you. @Zacke I did observe an extreme version of my issue in a SoCal flight where the OAT was around 100F and of course sunny -- I wasn't surprised by the temp skyrocketing in the afternoon sunlight. But I also do a lot of early morning and early evening flying in places where there's not really a lot of sunlight -- cloudy Southeast Alaska, for example -- that's what made me question it. @Black-Square thanks for confirming it wasn't my imagination. To be honest, cabin temp control flummoxes me in a number of aircraft, and I might fixate on it a bit too much as a result -- probably the main reason I even noticed this, because it put me behind the curve right from the start lol

We don't do support via email. However, Black Square do frequent these forums. Otherwise, you can contact Just Flight Support and they will be only too happy to resolve any questions you may have. I think the @ symbol is accepted in common usage on forums and social media to tag other users.
