Strange things happens when updating the plane and starting direct on the runway: IRS is aligned and switched to nav mode automatically. The FP is imported into the INS and shown on the screen. WP 0 to 9 are set. But now, after engaging the AP and INS mode in flight the plane does not follow the FP. Changing waypoint tracks 2- 3 or 2- 5 as a "direct to" has no effect. The plane keeps it initial heading. Using the GNS and setting Navigation to VOR FP will be followed as it should do. I’m lost. May you have some hints.

Hi, When using pounds, in cruise the fuel flow gauges show something in the region of 53.5 or something around that. But then on the gauge, it says just above 'x1000' which would be 53,500lbs per hour! Is this a bug or should the text above the readout say 'x100' instead? With the decimal point two digits in, its 53.5. If it was correct, it should be 5,350lbs per hour. Whats the story here?

After version 1.0.3 the standby power system is and shows UNARMED through the UNARMED light and the DC standby bus fail light on the electrical panel. The switch is clearly in the ARM position. If I put the switch in ON, the system works fine.

Hi Seems like V1.0.3 is unusable for me. The ON APU or READY FOR TAKEOFF panel states don't work as they seem to stall and get stuck around "APU initialisation" or "waiting for RPM target", before it times out. Am I doing anything wrong? Was looking forward to the fixes in 1.0.3. and rather disappointed I cannot even start from an easy state...

Desperate to fly this thing, but can’t bring myself to do it without at least some basic hardware connected for AP (altitude, VS etc.). Anyone managed to get basic stuff to work via MobiFlight? Any ETA as to when all this will be opened up by @iniBuilds to routines and templates that could be built? Thanks!

Evening. thought it would be best here. so I e tried two flights one on launch and now another after the latest update. however when running in the ILS freq in Miami for Rwy 09. Which is 110.90 I’m just picking up the localiser on the HSI at all. I am however clearly seeing the Glideslope on the right. I’ve select radio on the button for insgos/radio. But the localiser doesn’t appear to pop up. however on the standby hsi I’m getting the dme to the localiser and the direct of it. But on the primary hsi nothing is showing. is this still a bug as I’m trying to do some ILS app and without it working …

Hello everyone, I have the problem that whenever I want to use the Thrustmanagement mode to climb, it shows the EPR 000 and the engines spool down. I have set everything up correctly including both PMS, have already played around with switching of probe Heat, and many more things. I would be really glad if anyone had a solution or at least knows if this is a bug or I’m missing something systemwise. kind regards Elias!

Could not get the fuel to dump as per procedure. Is it not yet modeled?

Having tested the latest versin 1.02, with the plane spawned on the runway in ready for t/o config, I still see the AP struggling with the vertical modes. IAS hold seems to work, but as soon as I change to VS or ALT hold, the wobble starts. Also, when in VS mode and retracting the flaps, the nose pitches down and the plane starts a temporary decent. Please fix the AP asap, as this current state makes the Tristar unflyable for me and I guess many others, too. Best regards, Wolfgang

Hi, i had like 3 good flight, but now i cant finish a flight, because one or all of the INS freeze on position, and when i check status its back on 90, ALERT flashing, and i cant do anything onwards. Any suggestion what can be wrong, or how can I help myself on this? Also it seems, HSI is out as well, because when i try to finish the flight with radio navigation it doesnt change.. Rotates, but apart from that, radio navigation doesnt work either, and it not rotate to the radio beacon just to 180-360. Not even show the ILS course deviation, however at least the plane captures it.

Per title, the AMP's are not functioning correctly. I've created a post on the discord and bumped already but it hasn't been looked at yet even after several days. Please see linked stream of 1.0.1 behavior. In short - COM1 and 2 when tuned to a broadcasting station will play audio even when that COM's speaker is off but MIC selected on. And even with no MIC selected, the last selected VHF tuned station will still be transmitting/receiving. This makes it impossible to transmit over one frequency while only monitoring the other. Also, where are the tuning controls located for VHF3? None of the AMP's display VHF3 and the first observer and flight engineer AMP's are c…

Whatever I do, I can’t get the plane to move on pushback. Brakes are off, chocks pulled, brakes pressed and released, wiggling the controls, applying thrust, nothing helps. Am I missing something or is this a bug? I am on Xbox and use the built in pushback tool.

TriStar version 1.0.2 MSFS Update 4 version 1.6.34.0 Not sure if I'm missing anything here, I've repeatedly started up the aircraft from cold & dark performing all FE functions manually. But each time I'm unable to set the stabilizer trim to the T.0. perf calculated value such as 3.69 (per my latest attempt). Despite all 4 hydraulic systems pressurized, I'm unable to set the stabilizer trim. When I rotate the trim wheel to the target setting, it slowly rotates back to 2 Solution: In Settings make sure AI Auto Trim is disabled under Assistances

Please consider tuning the steering via the tiller and rudder...both are way too sensitive for my taste. Wolfgang

Hi Guys, I've read the manual, created a new msfs settings control profile for my thrustmaster TCA controls, only using binds Throttle axis 1, 2, 3 but reverse thrust does not work. I've tried using pfb to calibrate several times and it doesn't work. I have reverse thrust toggled. Also the levers go from idle to 100% when I push them from idle to the climb detent and not the full motion. I.E idle through to toga. Please help as it driving me mad.

Hello! Is it possible to add the last waypoint to the third ins? like a airport destination in range like you see in FMC and MCDU. Regards,

I have noticed over several flights that when performing an ILS approach the Autopilot does not maintain an accurate course and glideslope and i have to disconnect the ILS and then re-engage. Not sure if this is a known issue. Also how do I correctly activate a CAT 3 Autoland ? I have tuned both Autopilot 1 and 2 with the correct ILS frequency/Course and when the plane is in landing configuration and established I have then activate autopilot 2. I must be missing a step as i cant make the autoland work...... Any guidance would be appreciated...........

Could the team please offer the ability to derate take-offs and climbs with calculations in the EFB. Would be much appreciated - thanks.

Latest Tristar 1.0.2 streamed from MSFS 2024 servers (because for the life of me I get a 'failed to install' every time I try to install). Take off. Get annoyed with TM mode, 500fpm then 6000pfm, then AoA mode, then back to TM 250IAS. Trim, you want to do something please? Set AP heading same as runway, 211. Flies straight for a bit, then left in a circle. Re-select heading mode and it'll turn back to 211. ALT capture you ask for? Nope, ALT exceed is what is given and if you're doing 250 IAS the TM will soon revert to AoA mode again. ILS you say? The AP will engage, follow a bit then zoom zoom off in another direction. Its a shame after all…

Hi dude, I have done all the step to have navigraph chart be linked and approved in L1011 EFB but I can not have access through the EFB. Do you a clue what is happening ?

When operating off of single source of bleed, pack flow should not increase after additional pack flow control valves are opened, but rather decrease. While duct pressure shows a decrease in PSI with additional packs in use, flow is still reversed. Pack flow is also indicating 2000-2500 cfm on the selected pack even when the flow control is set to off, with and without a bleed source present.

"The Max mode position is a momentary switch position"

Not 100% ready to call this a bug yet as I'm still very unfamiliar with the plane, having barely had a chance to fly it yet. However, this doesn't feel right to me so wanted to check if others are seeing the same issue or there's anything I need to try before I report it as such. If I load into the Tristar cold and dark at the gate -- and I've tried this at multiple airports and both with the initial launch version and the current release -- I can't get the engines to start up with a single panel state load. If I click on the "Ready for Takeoff" panel state, the APU is started followed by engine #2, and then... that's it. The PFB shows "Waiting for engine 1 to…

Following downloading v1.0.2 I've noticed the following: 1. ACS 1 & 2 switches on the overhead panel aren't animated. They can be switched off but don't latch as they should presumably 2. TANK PUMP valves are still all showing flowbars on startup until a pump is latched when they return to LOW 3. Flight Engineer's clock is still showing LOCAL time not UTC Notwithstanding, thanks for the rapid updates to this aircraft.
