    Love your planes Nick, since i discovered them I can't go back.

    I've just gone back to the TBM after learning the Starship, but i'm noticing the glass dial reflections on the main instruments are very distracting while looking straight on.

    I can understand the copilots gauge would reflect the right window.

    But the left seat gauges have what looks like a reflection of what
    looks like the front windscreen in them. But there is nothing behind me that would reflect that. I get the feeling like the reflection map might be reversed?
    And i can't unsee it now.

    If this is intentional then so be it.
    But i just wanted to report it.
    Thanks.

      I think there is something in 2024 that alters the look of instrument glass. Same with Starship - looks amazing in 2020, distracting in 2024:

        That's correct. This was one of the many shortfalls of 2020 reverse compatibility that I had to combat at the time. What you see here is the result of trying to use the 2020 Starship with MSFS 2024. Would I be correct to assume that this was a Marketplace purchase in 2020 that was automatically carried over to 2024?

          Hi. Yes - I bought Starship in 2020, but am tying hard to adopt 2024.

          Flying at night solves the (minor) issue!

            I was talking about the TBM. Which yes, i purchased on 2020 marketplace wayback.

            I purchased Starship from JustFlight website, so mine looks fine.

            My guess is when it converts from 2020 to 2024, it uses a generic Cessna 172 reflection box.
            I'm pretty sure its reflecting the rear windows of a Cessna 172.

            Shame... wish i could return them and just buy from Just Flight website, thats my plan moving forward.

              Your Starship is looking mighty fine (Xbox user tied to Marketplace).
