Yes please! I would pay for this.

Greetings. I am trying to figure out how to read the TCAS or Transponder number window (via LVAR or other means) from this plane so I can display it on my new WinCtrl TCAS hardware. I've got all the buttons, but the actual display eludes me. I know I can get the transponder code from Simconnect, but I need the actual values as I enter it on the TCAS in the plane, so that it mimics the code as you enter it.

That's a big one for me. As much as I like the CIVA, it has big limitation. The UNS-1 is really necessary. There is already one built by Working Title that can be fitted into the TriStar. The upcoming much improved Boeing 707 will have it! Why not the TriStar too?

I have also experienced this since day 1.

This happened to me last night also, even after the align 'timer' is near zero. Eventually somehow it auto resolved and I was able to start my flight. I have align time to fast. If I see it again, I'll try to see what steps to reproduce.

As good as the current INS is, it's very limiting in today's RNAV environment. Since MSFS 2024 already includes the UNS-1 as a sim attachment, it would be great to have it as an option for the L-1011! This would allow us to fly modern RNAV procedures without having to rely on the GNS 430, while still preserving the classic feel of this airplane.

Today's patch notes: "FIXED Engine smoke should start when fuel introduced, not on starter motor" Thanks! All these little details add up. 👍

I found a reference photo of an L-1011 with an LTN-92. That would be amazing if we could use this unit, since it uses a navigation database similar to a modern FMS. The LTN-72 is cool, but let’s be honest, entering those coordinates and being limited to only nine is a pain in the neck. Besides, as far as I know, coordinate systems like the CIVA and LTN-72 were mainly used for oceanic crossings. I also think modeling an LTN-92 would attract more people to buy this plane, since it’s a step closer to how a modern FMS works. No need to enter coordinates and instead use navigation fix names. Something for iniBuilds to think about. 😉

This is a huge problem for me too... Even though I have Spad Next (Similar program to Mobiflight), I can't even find how to control any autopilot functions though the in-sim controller setup window. Love the plane but it's sat in the hangar until I can operate most autopilot functions though my hardware. I don't like to be reaching for my mouse for every autopilot adjustment.

I’m no expert, but visible exhaust smoke generally requires combustion. During motoring, the engine is just spinning from the APU air, so you wouldn’t expect actual smoke. Any oil or residue burning off would happen once there’s enough heat from ignition, not before fuel is introduced.

That sounds like a bug.

Transfer will be available in the future, a few months from now. We all have to wait. https://forum.inibuilds.com/topic/36125-will-the-tristar-be-available-on-your-website-for-direct-purchase/#findComment-87755

I support the suggestion for the other variants! Many more were produced than the -500. I would gladly pay. I had not seen the first picture of those boarding stairs. Those stairs alone are so unique that they warrant the inclusion of the -1 variant!

I agree. Both the PFB and speed card should not be emissive. At night, it should require lighting from a lamp to be seen.

By any chance, prior to you trying to start the engines, did you select cold & dark panel state from the PFB? I say that because whenever I select that state, I can't start the engines, I would have to quit the flight and reload.
