  1. Hello, To increase immersion, I was wondering if we could have an "auto" mode where flight engineer autocomplete checklists are automatically started after a set of user actions. For example here are some ideas: Engine Start: park brake OFF+Beacon light ON+5 seconds After Start: All 3x engines running + 20 seconds Line Up: Strobe lights + LDG lights on Climb: RA above 1500ft AGL Descent: within 150nm of destination, negative V/S, and selected ALT lower than current

  2. Perhaps I am missing something, but I cannot figure out how to click the DLC arm button on top of the spoiler without moving the camera all the way down in front of it and rotating it so I can see it. I am sure it was very easy for the captain to reach down and press it (though I do find myself wondering at the wisdom of having the lights being on the forward end of the spoiler vs elsewhere, I guess he had to stick his hand in front of it to see if the lights were on?) Can a clickspot be added on a screw somewhere or something similar to arm DLC, please?

    Hi folks, I have found that even with the performance mode switched on in the paper tablet, that the Tristar keeps throwing up numerous 'Graphics card out of memory' notices when I get close to my payware scenery, or when switching views in the cockpit. Now, I'm not a new user, I've been at this game many a year by this point so I understand the constraints of flight simulation. But at the same time, I fly the PMDG 777/737 and the Fenix A320, and NONE of these EVER throw up graphics card vram limitation notices. Like.......ever. I was wondering if the devs could throw some light on potential performance increases for this bird that migh…

  4. Could the performance data card be duplicated on the captains side of the instrument panel. In VR, this would make seeing all the different airspeeds from the card much easier. Thanks

    Can we have the chocks in when starting in cold and dark. Or at least an option to do so. Most aircraft in the the sim start chocks in, which seems logical. Thanks

  6. Hello, I am an Xbox simmer, and on almost all (if not all) of your aircraft have this option in the EFB, unless I am missing it somewhere. On the Tristar PFB, it is missing, prompting the Xbox keypad to pop up. Of course, the built in Xbox keypad doesn’t do anything, so I have to exit out each time I need to type a letter. It is very annoying, this addition would make it a far more pleasant experience alongside the rest of your fleet. Thank you

  7. I personally would love to see and hear the engines windmill and “clack” as the blades shift, especially during a walkaround. ☺️

    Hi any chance the PFB can have a night mode it’s way too bright especially in VR even on the lowest brightness. Hope you will consider the more popular L1011-200 as I am really enjoying this bird !

    When we turn on the anti-icing systems in the Tristar, could we have the corresponding areas of the airframe that those systems are linked to, have their layer of ice disappear while that system is engaged?

    Suggestions. I would say back to the drawingboard with this one. first the good : The Tristar looks and sounds insane. To do the walk around is an adventure by itself. The cockpit looks stunning also. the things that could go better Sounds: An old steam gauge cockpit like this one ( and I have 747-200 time up the kazoo) . Comes alive with the ratle and clicks of the old rolodex gauges the moment you move the throttles. the brake sounds ( humming) and sometimes sounding like an old steam loco. now these are all just cosmetics. the real problem i have is with the F-104 style climb performance. The whole performance model s…

  13. Hello, At the moment the Paper Flight Bag and the perf card are emitting light, like a tablet would. Barely noticeable by day but looks out of place by night. See the difference between the "flaps 33" table chart (blends naturally with cockpit lightning) and the landing speed card (weirdly bright) below: Could this emissive light be disabled ? And instead we rely on the beautiful night lightning of this addon to read the PFB and card ?

  14. Hello ini-team! Let me start by saying congratulations on a very successful release of the beautiful Tristar! One suggestion if I may suggest is an option to have the FE manage throttles during takeoff and when reducing to climb thrust. Unless there is a way that I am simply not aware of?

    Are we able to look at an option to allow the sun visor(s) to be moved upward or stowed away instead of being always in view? I have not found anything where there is an option to do so.

  16. Hey team, is there any chance you could add the Flight Engineer voice to call out 40, 30, 20 and 10 from the Radio Altimeter as well as the 100 and 50ft callouts currently included?

  17. Attached here is a custom mad GSX profile. It fixes the various Door positions, Refueling, Lavatory, and GPU points. It also uses the "Custom refuel system" - meaning that on loading the L-1011, set fuel to a low values, like 10% in the PFB, then call the Fuel truck. When the Fuel truck arrives and ask You to set Fuel qty, enter the required qty in the PFB. gsx.cfg

  18. When flying in VR, the map display screen is partially blocked by the reverser handles of the throttle levers while in flight. There is a spacer on the top of the map display. Could this spacer be put to the bottom of the map allowing the map to move up in the pedestal. Thanks

    PFB performance calculator is good but seemingly does not factor in the runway and therefore the weather. Can this be added, presumably it formed part of the real world calculation?

  21. For the purists amongst us, who like to insert each and every waypoint manually into the INS ( just as real flight crews did ) it would be of great benefit if there would be an option to manually number the Waypoints on the OFP. This would aid in assigning the Waypoints to their slot-numbers in the INS. For instance such as a manually placeable circled number next to the waypoints on the OFP ( like selectable „stickers“ numbered from 1 to 9 ). Best regards

    I wish to suggest that on AFE APU start, the AFE turns on the bleed air after APU startup. Perhaps also set the bleed and pack switches to provide air conditioning to the cabin, as well as set APU gen field, breakers and bus ties. Currently from what I have seen, this AFE function merely turns on the APU. Unless I’m missing something, following solely the AFE through to engine start results in zero pneumatic pressure for the start unless additional manual setup is done to ensure the isolation valves and pack switches are set.

    I'd really like to see the time compression feature found in the A300, A350 etc added to the L1011. A much needed feature on longer flights.

    IMHO I believe this was not the 500 but without a doubt the rollout livery was a work of art. Did you have any plans on doing it? Thanks in advance

  25. As the title says, I thought it strange that the APU is left on if you are following the AI flight engineer flows in the paper tablet. Because the APU panel is right in front of his face I just assumed that as part of the flow he would turn it off once all power was drawing from the engines, I accidentally left the APU on for most of my first flight and barely had the fuel to make my destination, landed with an engine out.
