Hi All,
For those of you who might be like me and know nothing about Nick's next project, here's a great video with plenty of interesting titbits about the airplane to whet your appetites.
Enjoy
Cheers

I am chomping at the bit for the Starship!

hughesj2

Must admit since I've watched that video I'm looking forward to it a lot more, be really interesting to see how all that glass in the pit will be modelled, seems like there's a lot of reversionary modes

Black Square

You can expect an update within about the next week. While it wasn't necessarily my original intention, I found myself recreating the entire avionics suite to tremendous detail under the tutelage of one of the owners, including all the reversionary modes to accompany my failure system. I only hope there are enough Starship fans out there to enjoy it like you guys will!

hughesj2

Sounds amazing Nick, thanks...Really interested to see the flight dynamics as well, especially the fact it's not possible to stall the aircraft in the traditional sense

Looking forward to seeing what you've been working on! Already starting to fantasize about building a full home cockpit for all those gorgeous displays.....

Orlaam

I imagine a lot of folks will be interesting in the Starship. It's a unique airplane and all Black Square products are wonderful.

Complete with the Hotei soundtrack… I bet the ashtrays will actually smell too

@hughesj2 Oh my, @Black-Square This looks really, really good.

@Black-Square I’m sure the aircraft will sell boatloads on the simple fact that it’s got the pedigree of your other products, let alone the fact that it’s one of the coolest general aviation aircraft ever produced. All customers shall spread the word to all those uninformed on the gospel of Black Square, and the amazing simulations provided.

In addition to being one of the coolest planes ever produced, this looks like it will be one of the highest fidelity planes ever developed for MSFS! I have no doubt it'll be finding the new top spot in my hangar!

Looking forward to reviewing the manual for the Starship... I have a POH for the real world one (as well as a factory brochure since my father once was looking at one). Hoping someone puts out a video on programming a flightplan in the Collins FMS 850 system. If a video about it doesn't get made before release, I'll make one once the aircraft is available.

Lucky guy got to see one up close:

I wish this would come out, lol. I think I've flown the Duke more than anything else since it's release, so this is going to be a top spot in my hangar for sure.

Not long now! Looks incredible @Black-Square Nick, congratulations. Might just top your TBM as my favourite GA

Amazing... the best looking aircraft of all time, one of the last to come to MSFS 2020, and no doubt absolute top tier level. I'm sure it will be worth the wait.

We have a month to go through the manual:

@Marionettework gonna need it lmao. Those systems are weird in the best possible way. Little different from steam plus a GN or GT whatever, full Garmin or Airbus/Boeing where for each respectively once you learn one you learn them all.
