I only have pedals. I control the steering nose wheel and rudder with a single axis. In the settings, “Rudder Control Tiller” is set to YES. With this setting, it’s impossible to keep the aircraft runway centerline during the takeoff roll. When set to “NO,” the nose wheel turns at very small angles when taxiing to the parking area. How can I solve this problem? Maybe limit the nose wheel’s turning angle at speeds above about 60 knt with setting “Rudder Control Tiller” is set to YES Or have the ability to quickly switch between these modes... How can I do that

I cannot enter any data in the PMS. For exemple, to enter GW, I press LSK next to it, it clear the data (3 dash lines) and the INSERT is lighted, however nothing is happening when I type data on the keyboard. There is no arrow, nothing, just the 3 dash lines. Same goes for FUEL, SAT, etc... Am I missing something somewhere?

Hello. I enjoy that airplane so far. Unfortunately i cant use the map of the ins anymore because it asks for an api Key for carto.com Why is it so? I didnt Change anything, last time it worked perfectly. Regards, Steven

The L1011 autopilot still needs a lot of refinement. In my last few flights alone I have experienced: The autopilot struggles to hold altitude during a turn, especially when low and slow, where you may lose as much as 1,000 feet in a deep turn. The autopilot struggles to capture VOR radials and localizers, even when the intercept angle is less than 30 degrees. I have set up to intercept localizers at a very modest intercept angle at places with parallel runways like ORD and ATL, and the autopilot consistently turns so late to capture the ILS that you fly through the approach path of the parallel runway and then it curves back around to try and track the intended runway an…

Following up on a post from April where a user was having the same problem I encountered last night going into LGA (latest TriStar version): From their words: "ALT CAP / HOLD is completely unreliable. The A/P busts the selected Altitude ( especially when it tries to capture the Altitude during turns ) by up to 700ft, which would be a significant LEVEL/ALT Bust in real life. Furthermore, what happens when Flaps are extended, the A/P will start to allow a climb from the selected and captured Altitude at a considerable rate, busting the selected Altitude again by up to 700ft." I am still experiencing this same issue. I was having the autopilot hold 3000ft while selecting f…

the TriStar has rapidly become one my favourites in the sim. However, the one thing that really irritates me is when I rotate at my Vr speed, almost nothing happens. I need FULL back pressure and then the nose will rapidly rise. It will only rotate once it’s beyond its calculated takeoff speed. I can’t get that smooth 3 degrees per second. my weights and speeds are set and accurate so I am not trying to rotate too early. My thrust is set accordingly, and flaps are where they’re supposed to be. Spoilers are not up either. once in the air, it’s very nice to hand fly. same applies for landing. Once the mains touch down, tying to keep the nose up for a smooth touchdown on the…

Hi there, I am experiencing engine shutdowns on engines 1 and 3 during cruise. I also use the flight engineer and let the flight engineer do the panels for me ı dont do anything extra. Is this a known issue or am ı doing something wrong? It seems the fuel is finished or not transferred. Any help?

Morning! I've been enjoying the L1011. Haven't really experienced any issues until today. During cruise about 600NM from TOD I realize that my aircraft is beginning to slow down. I look and the throttles are fully retarded. I have the autothrottle in TM mode and have for the entire flight. It's commanding M.082 cruise... however we're now nose high and slowly descending. I can't get the throttles to do anything. So I disconnect the AT but the throttles do not respond to my joystick imputs. Testing in the settings it's working correctly, but no movement from the throttles. So I program keyboard commands for throttle increase/decrease and I can see the throttles respond a…

DLC Enable/Disable ? В Tristar manual on page 85 I see: Automatic disable button and lights. Pressed: - Both amber lights illuminate. - DLC, AGS, RTO functions are inoperative. В FAQ - Help - Quick Start & Troubleshooting https://forum.inibuilds.com/topic/35993-help-quick-start-troubleshooting/ I see: Lighs ON - DLC Armed! What is the correct information, and why is there conflicting information?

When can we expect the next update resolving all the outstanding issues?

I love the plane but sometimes I just want to do a quick landing and every time I jump straight to it the wing engines turn off. Is there a way to stop the plane from doing this?

Thank You for the great L-1011 Tristar 👍 I just made a flight from EKCH to EGSS, which went quite good, considering this was my first flight. It looks complex, but in the end it's not that hard to manage single handedly. Three points... 1. VRAM consumption is quite high, giving me the MSFS2024 GPU warning. I don´t have issues with other addons (PMDG, Fenix, FSLabs, Inibuilds: A350, A340, etc..) 2. It would be nice if the setting for the Gross Weight in the Fuels Gauge (Engineer panel GW / Fuel Wt) would run much quicker, or would be set when transferring the Take Off data from the PFB to the Aircraft, like the Take Off speeds. 3. The Pressurisation Gaug…

Hey all. I'm having this very weird and upsetting issue flying the L1011. For some reason, the INS system isn't automatically filling in the waypoint batches automatically. I've done this procedure the same way since launch. Tell me what I'm doing wrong. I just load the Simbrief flighplan, import it to INS and then press the "load batch" button on the screen. Once it reaches Waypoint 9 it correctly moves to "9-1" but doesn't update wpt #1 to the new waypoint, so it just turns around.

I don't know how this passed testing, but on the current patch, the L1011 wildly changes the EPR on TM/VNAV climb and the aircraft will literally go into a 1000ft or greater descent during VNAV climb to catch the speed it's trying to climb at. Not only that, once the aircraft is level in cruise, it descends AND climbs anywhere from 500 to 1000 feet as it tries to maintain speed (I guess??). It literally cannot maintain level flight. Guys, this is bad. The TM mode is completely unusable.

I was expecting the N1 cruise values to be corrected in v.08 but alas no. I did open a support ticket regarding this matter - is the team still looking in to this? There is absolutely NO WAY this plane cruises with an N1 value of only 75%. I have seen photos and a video where the N1 value is around 84 - 86%. I sincerely trust this matter is still being looked into.

After nearly three months, the TriStar still has flight model and autopilot issues that make it unrealistic at best, and less than flyable at worst. The issue of the GPS turn commands coming in late at higher speeds annoys me to the point where I use the INS for everything, including SIDs and STARs. The issues of unrealistic vertical speed in the climb, unrealistic deck angle during cruise and approach, and autopilot VNAV pitch commands coming in late during the climb annoy me to the point where I don't even want to fly the aircraft until they're fixed. To expand: The GPS seems to issue turn commands too late at higher airspeeds, which causes the aircraft to consistentl…

So, I've been trying to figure out the AP and I've come to the conclusion it doesn't work. If I take off, clean up the plane and trim in at 250 knots, turn on the AP, hit IAS, the plane will start slowing down, but not pitching down to keep the speed. Switching over to VS to correct is useless. the plane essentially ignores the VS commands with the vertical speed violently swinging up and down. Perhaps I'm not doing it correctly, but it is the way that the youtubers use it. I'm about to uninstall and hope for improvements down the line. It's unflyable as an airliner right now. Pretty disappointed since it's been out for a bit. Colin

The VHF communications display on the left isn't working; after transferring it from Microsoft, I uninstalled and reinstalled it from the IniBuilds website.

for example if the active leg is 3-4, and 05 is selected for display, the ins displays distance between 0(ppos)-1-2-3-4-5 instead of 0-4(to wpt)-5

the INS dsrtk does not follow the great circle path and instead stays on the initial track calculated at the from waypoint (this may or may not be the same problem as AP in INS is offset in 1.0.7 - Systems - iniBuilds Forum) the aircraft is flying between NZCH (43°29.4‘S 172°32.1E) and AN07/AT07 (69°26.2S 076°19.0E), these are the only 2 waypoints loaded in the INS, a 3121nmi leg. DSRTK stays at 207.9 the entire way, which also shows on the HSI the aircraft also deviates from the track continuously, maybe if DSRTK is fixed this problem will go away on its own as i'm guessing the INS uses DSRTK as a reference and adds corrections (may or may not be limited to 45°, aircraft…

As described in the title, the HSI and INS never agree on Distance and Time. HSI is set in INS mode and, as it can be seen, I don't have any active VOR tuned in. Is this a quirk of the real aircraft or a bug? In that case, which reading is the correct one? Also, the AP has never managed to track the INS properly in all the flights I've done, always a bit off-set, especially when the TO and FROM waypoints are close to each-other or in tight turns.

Hey guys, Now flown two flights with 1.0.7 and the aircraft seems to be unable to capture the glideslope properly now. Pushing the ILS button while the aircraft is physically below GS now shows GS captured immediately (rather than armed/captured), and the aircraft starts descending before the GS diamond is centered - meaning that it's descending below path for the entire approach. Disengaging ILS and recapturing results in the same issue. This wasn't an issue pre-update although I do remember that the aircraft used to climb to capture GS before 1.0.7 (which was marked as fixed), so I'm thinking it could possibly be a logic issue with that fix? That is obviously unless I'm…

Hi. In the past few days my INS when aligning from cold and dark shows up off the coast of Africa, regardless of what airport I spawn to and put the coordinates in for. I have caried out well over 30 flights since buying the Tristar and It has been absolutely fine up till now. When I spawn on to the runway with engines running, it is fine and places the pink dot at the airport I am flying from. Any ideas? The picture shows the screen prior to putting in coordinates of stand. Using the +/- makes no difference.

Hi, FL360, all packs on, the cruise level set on the tape, but the pressure gauge shows 0 ft cabin altitude and probably over the gauge max scale delta p. Also the cabin temperature is quite low, below 20 F.

I've noticed that with the new progressive loading system, it does not defuel the aircraft if less fuel is needed than what is onboard. Instead, it instantaneously sets the aircraft to empty, and then begins loading it from there. This causes the aircraft to jerk substantially, and can break INS alignment.
