I actually also like using the SDU for this purpose, but the more intended method is to use set the Preset Nav Source to VOR1/2 on the CDU, so you can monitor the CDI on the ND. Then, use the "CRS XFER" line select key on the Nav Source CDU page to instantaneously transfer over to your chosen localizer course and source.

@Sunake said in Crew Notes on MFD: I think operators can type some stuff in text files or word document or something on a computer, and put it on the floppy and upload it to starship, then they'll be displayed on that MFD page. I'm oversimplifying it but I think that's the idea. This was my thought, as well. As it is I use it as a good reference for things I should also look at. I don't fly IRL and thus tend to treat the weather as a surprise

Last time this came up, I was unsure of how the CDU interpreted frequency entries, but I now have the answer. It will be adjusted for the next update. All frequencies entered will be assumed to carry a decimal place, so 3675 will be interpreted as 367.5, and 15050 will be required to enter 1505.0.

Ooooooh woooow okay cool thanks for the explanation. And thanks for looking into the click spot

Thought it might be something like that. Thanks for looking into Simbrief injection.

@DrZGard said in Starship Diaries first Ten Flights: I would like to figure out how to get Netflix or Amazon Prime to take a look at this book and turn it into a 2 season mini series with an episode for each flight and its destination. Maybe pitch them the revenue they'll get with this format: a script following a likable character's and the dream, the challenges, the growth of the main character (via help from outside), climax by completing the main mission of flying and visiting interesting places and cultures. All in a way relatable to the audience. Then repeat with diff characters and other cool planes for many follow up seasons. Or maybe add some humour elements ( see Chicken Wings: https://www.chickenwingscomics.com/comic/avoiding-traffic/ ). And of course, all flights from the episodes are accompanied with downloadable flightplans for the plane starring in the episodes for whoever wants to fly IRL or in the sim.

As with all of our MSFS products, the initial MSFS 2024 native updates are focused on bringing the products across with their MSFS 2020 feature sets, albeit in most cases with significant MSFS 2024 compatibility work and improvements. We have not yet fully investigated what new features we can bring to FS Traffic in MSFS 2024, and we'll likely need to wait for some improvements and stability in the simulator's core traffic engine before we can do that. We can only hope those will come in the upcoming MSFS 2024 Sim Updates. The FS Traffic manual for MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024 can be viewed here and includes a Quick Start Guide and our recommended settings in MSFS 2024. Mark - Just Flight

@SinkRate Would you be willing to share your form. This is the one I made for XPlane, the CL650 specifically based on an operator: https://forums.x-pilot.com/files/file/1359-aircraft-trip-log/

"Pilots shall not fly an RNAV 1 or RNAV 2 SID or STAR unless it can be retrieved from the on-board navigation database using the procedure name and is consistent with the procedure in the chart." No loading SID/STARs from database in the built in system, so European SID/STARs you can legally fly without an external unit are starting to become more rare. DME-arcs and procedure turns (not Radius to Fix procedures) on the other hand are no problem. Anything equipped with VOR/DME can fly them. Just need to do that good old piloting thing PBN capabilities are confusing to say the least. For the 430 and other "normal" equipment you can look up this Foreflight page to see what the units can provide: https://support.foreflight.com/hc/en-us/articles/360049193173-ICAO-Equipment-and-PBN-Code-Setup-Guide Unsurprisingly though, the list does not include the built in Collins avionics. Specific code also depends on whether you disable the built in GNSS in the CDU. Garmin also has an okay page for explaining what each of the codes means: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=hDbN1ryrqe4GkBour6SzC8

There is intentionally no arrival schedules displayed in the Traffic Control Centre app, as the arrival traffic generation doesn't conform to the same sort of schedules as the departure traffic, and is instead generated in a way that works around some simulator limiations (a further explanation behind that is included in the link in my previous reply). We do have a feature request logged on our internal tracker to add arrival schedules into the Traffic Control Centre, but there is nothing in progress at the moment. Mark - Just Flight

WOW, wicked clip! Thanks for posting! Any other assembly clips of the Starship?

@szln6z said in CTD with duke: Sharing my experience. Below is my post in the PMS50 discord un Jun 29, 2025: Repeatable MSFS2020 CTD when PMS GTN750/650 is used. A/C is BlackSquare Duke. I've been testing this all morning, and can consistently and repeatably cause a CTD at the exact same position only when using the GTN750/650. I have NOTHING in my community folder other than the Blacksquare Duke and the PMS50 GTN750. When I try the exact route with the default DA62, no issues. When I try the exact route with the Blacksquare Duke and GNS530/430, no issues. When I try the exact route with the Blacksquare Duke and PMS50 GTN750, I get a CTD. I did this 4x times, and the CTD repeats consistently. I downloaded and installed the latest version 2.2.48 of the GTN750. Still CTD. If I don't use the GTN750, it does not CTD. I've read many post stating that PMS50 GTN750 cannot cause a CTD. I don't know what to say, but that's not my experience. Here's the flight plan. Cruise altitude is 13,000. Departure time about 10am local. KBTV DCT OMPEE DCT SQUAM DCT LIMER DCT KPWM The CTD occurs about halfway between OMPEE and SQUAM. Update: I still had version 2.2.36 on my PC. I had flown ~60 hrs with this version in the BlackSquare Duke without a single CTD, so I reverted to 2.2.36, and tried the problem flight plan. No CTD. So, I'm back to using 2.2.36 indefinitely. That's fine with me. Also, during my testing I had absolutely nothing else running at all, and it still CTDed. I didn't have any third party apps running.

@lancealotg Thank you very much!

Great thank you for covering this answer. Very excited for the jet - i know its delayed but excited to give it a try

Hi, I spent some time chatting with the FSHud developer today and we were able to work out what the problem was here. FSHud should be compatible with FS Traffic once the sim settings have been configured correctly according to the quick start guide in the FS Traffic manual. The FSHud admin has posted a clarification on their Discord: [image: 71ffa6b3-5262-44c0-938f-010b33595cad.png] Thanks for reporting the problem, and thanks to the FSHud admin for their time.

@finnisher said in Loading a flight plan from the World Map / 2024 EFB: SU2 seems to work fine, but I don’t use the native ATC and don’t send the FPL from EFB to the aircraft. Do you have to do something special to avoid sending the flight plan to the aircraft? For me, as soon as I open the coms panel and request IFR clearance from ATC, it automatically populates a flight plan in the Starship FMS. I really hope we can have a way to use built in ATC in 2024.
