Systems

1. Are the INS systems triple mixing the position information? If not, is it coming? If so, is the mode configurable? 2. Is remote mode planned so that waypoints and position data can be set simultaneously across all three? 3. Is there an inflight position update process either available or planned? DME/DME or even just a manual update at a known position?

After flying it few times, I noticed that the IAS and Mach pitch modes can be a little slow and not consistent. For the era of the L1011, this should be solid. I flew DC1030s and planes of the era were solid. The only issues I would see, which still impacts current aircraft, is temperature inversions. This causes the speed to change and leads to the aircraft pitching to attain speed. The aircraft can easily get into porpoising, which gets worst over time. The trick is to hit vert speed and lock into a climb rate. Once the aircraft settles, you can go back to IAS or Mach pitch modes. Once you get into Mach change over in the climb, aircraft can become a little pitchy as th…

Hi, the fuel used test knobs have no effect on the fuel flow or on the fuel used indicators.

Selecting a NAVAID on the MSFS EFB enables it's frequency to be set in the aircraft NAV1 radio, this works for the 1011 but doesn't change the displayed frequency on the panel. Changing a digit using either knob on the panel causes the displayed frequency to snap to the correct one.

Fuel Tank2 Left and Right Inboard tanks are positioned at the same lateral offset as the outboard tanks. They should be between the Outboard and the Tank1/Tank3 tanks, approx 38 feet from the centreline works ok. This causes problems for external applications that load fuel tanks via simconnect etc whereby the wrong tank gets loaded. The overlaying of the tanks can be seen in the attached screenshot (ignore the Right-hand tanks being shown on the left wing, this is an MSFS bug to be fixed in SU5)

Since I flew aircraft with flight engineers, I prefer to use the virtual one in sim. For the starting engines check, the virtual engineer should open the bleed shutoff valve if they haven't done so before this time.

At cruise at FL350, fuel tank temp is at SAT, not TAT. Fuel doesn't cool below the temperature of the airframe, and it takes hours to cool to that as well. My fuel tank temp is -60 ATM.

Here is the scenario CYVR by FSDT. RWY 26R. VOR set to frequency 111.95. On approach, LOC and ILS captured (aircraft reacts and GS tag turns white) but it flies 30 degrees north of runway heading and does not follow descent slope. I tried 6 times!! Something is NOT right with the ILS. It’s not fixed in V1.01 as marketed. Flown here countless of times with other aircraft without issues. No way I will do manual approach and land with every flight. This needs to be fixed.

For me trying to use Panel state just doesn't work. If I try to put the plane to "Ready for takeoff" state, some of the engines won't start up. Usually it's engines 1 and 3. If I repress the "Ready for takeoff" it might get the engines going but not always. Also using the "Autocomplete" buttons under "Flight engineer autocomplete" do not work: some of the steps stay red. And when I do get the airplane runnning, engines will shutdown seemingly random.

The approach pitch appears to be low. It should be around 7 degrees on a 3 degree slope with flaps 33. This is from the manual and landing geometry.

With trim set, the aircraft tends to rotate quickly with little input. The DC10 and other aircraft I flew took some input initially and then nose down trim as you approach V2 +10. The trim is set for V2, so as you pass V2 the nose start to rise on you requiring you to trim nose down. In the DC10, when it was heavy/near max takeoff weight, you did a two step rotation. You do an initial pump to start the rotation and then the second pump to pull it towards 10 degrees. Passing 10 degrees, she is lifting off and you are pushing sightly forward while trimming down to catch V2+10. I would assume in the real L1011, if it rotated so quickly, you would be tail strike prone. Should…

As the title suggests, engine 1 rolls back upon engine spool up. I was able to taxi under idle power, but as soon as I spooled up to get onto the runway, engine 1 shut down. I was able to restart it, but even with the slightest amount of throttle, the engine still shutdown. This could be user error, but I was following along with a tutorial video as well as using the Autocomplete feature. https://medal.tv/games/microsoft-flight-simulator-2024/clips/mqjWJ4wW3zWpgDfoY?invite=cr-MSxYTlAsMTkzNzg2ODc5

The reverse sleeves seem to deploy proportional to the amount of reverse applied instead of an on/off type trigger.

Per title, exterior pack exhaust sounds are incorrectly placed between the MLG and always running with APU on and not with bleed on + pack flow control valve open. Should be located forwards of the NLG and on its respective side. Also as noted in the stream, outflow valves do not visually move in exterior cameras. Thanks

Posted this on discord but got no attention there so just wanted to highlight it here. In addition to the poor LOC tracking that you are attending to in the incoming update (thank you), the same happens when navigating with the GPS, where the aircraft can't remain on the proper course and drifts either left or right of the course and then flies offset. It never does regain the correct course. Have not tried tracking a VOR radial but would suspect it happens there too. INS navigation tracks perfectly from what I have seen. Not sure if it's going to be fixed when the ILS tracking is fixed so posting just in case.

Cabin lights on without any power to the aircraft and also can’t shut them off with pfb either.

I am currently in latest and greatest L-1011 version 1.0.1. I can't seem to find out very basic controller mappings for most autopilot functions. The only one I was able to find out is AP disconnect and AT/TM disangage. However, I tried, "Autopilot ON" and I see the switch move to CMD, however it does not take control of the plane. Also, how can I toggle spoilers? "Toggle arm spoilers" which is what I use for other aircraft, does nothing. I also can't find ALT or HDG hold. Again, very basic AP functions I would like to map to my controller but this plane for some reason doesn't have any controller mappings unless I am blind. Has anyone figured out AP mapp…

This update, I noticed the Pitch trim seems to wonder back and forth and the airplane gently pitches up and down while the trim attempts to catch up. Overall autopilot with pitch (including vs) seems too sluggish…the constant pitching up and down is annoying for sure…may want to look into this . also, not sure why, but I was at 87k lbs of fuel (just under 50%) and empty pax/cargo…she feels very “draggy”…almost under powered. Airplane was cleaned up, no flaps, spoilers etc

While you are reworking the AP-FD modes and logic here is a mode matrix to validate with. Let me know if you need any additional docs. AP-FD_Modes_Matrix.pdf

Upon the "mains" touching the ground I notice the nose wheel abruptly making contact with the ground and cannot fly it or ease it on to the runway. Have tried the following: flaps 33° and min. brake flaps 33° and (0) zero or manual applying full back pressure column force on the yoke my hardware is: TM Boeing Yoke, HC Throttle, Saiteck Rudder, TM Airbus sidestick (Tiller, nosewheel streering)

the overhead panel decal emissive lights should stay on (like the breaker panel) when this breaker is pulled (this is actually quite important for me as I do not like the always active ambient floodlight)

In FL 340 and cruising I would like to switch to Mach instead of IAS. Switching from AT to MACH doenst work. Switching from TM to MACH neither works. Please see Video. Or did I something wrong? Mach.mp4

With the INS aligned but no waypoints entered the CDU will not display the aircraft current track, ground speed, True heading, or drift angle. That mode is not contingent on any leg information being entered. Thanks, Mike

Hi, Using the TCA Airbus Quadrant (Eng 1 + 2) I am unable to calibrate all three engines. SET IDLE and SET FULL appear to do nothing, and I end up with Thrust Reversers being deployed when the throttles are set to idle on 1 + 2, however also when in idle, Engine 3 is in reverse mode and I am unable to get it to sync with either Eng 1 or Eng 2 axis
