Hi Robert. I sent you a PM. Please look at it. Thanks - Trevor

When will the Tristar become available in the Inimanager app for updates?

Assuming your programming IS correct, then should you not tone down the figures of the thrust settings in the configuration file. To climb to FL 350 at MTOW with a residual vertical speed of about 1000 fpm at CL2 seems way off. AT weights of 475 000lb, the N1 cruise value @ M.84 should be in the 80's (80-85%) and NOT in the 70's. Is it not possible to choose between CL 1 and CL2 and select only 1 (eg,CL2 for the whole climb)?

Quoting you above "The way its modelled now is it will try to use calculated CL2 table values for your weight, temperature and altitude ranges. If outside the tabled parameters, it will instead use the calculated CL1 values for your current weight, temperature and altitude. It will transition back to CL2 if within tabled parameters at the next update point." Are you 100% sure this is correct?

You guys are still not getting it correct. In Version 1.0.6 the EPR begins to steadily increase in the climb and then drops sharply and once again begins to increase. This is NOT how the real plane behaved. Once CLB thrust is set, there should be a gradual and steady increase in the EPR (not up and down). Firstly do you have access to L1011-500 performance manuals? This is important - I only have access to -100 manuals (different engines). You need to get the EPR values correctly entered into your mathematical programming (taking temperature and altitude into account). Then the EPR and N1 values need to be synchronized. Then, and only then, do you begin adjusting the thrust numbers in the configuration file. Please don't take my remarks the wrong way - I am only trying to help. I modified the Captain Sim L1011 .air file some years ago to get the thrust settings as close to correct as possible. There must be a smooth and steady increase in EPR - not jumpy. The cruise N1 values are also lower than they should be. I will later attach a photo of the real plane in a FL350 cruise so you can see the engine readouts. I understand that weather and gross weight will affect these values somewhat.

No it isn't. The whole take off and climb phase is incorrect - I have raised the issue and apparently they are working on it. This plane was a slow climber like the 747-100/200.

Is climb power still being looked into because this plane still (1.0.5) has too much power and the EPR and N1 synching needs to be corrected.

I have noticed that once at a high altitude, the N1 digital reading and "needle" readings are different. The numbers indicate 94% (which I believe is correct) but the "needle" is indicating over 100%/ - out of sync

3 - fuel and weight at FL 350 4 - crz at FL350 - N1 reading 81% - at this weight at M0.83 it should be at about 85% N1 5 - I really can't see how at MTOW this plane can comfortably reach FL350 The VS often would go down to 500 - 1000 fpm at heavy weights. Please check this with someone who has flown the real -500

Here are some pics from v1.0.3 1 - At 23 800' and climbing at 2000' fpm - this was at a TOW of 505 000lbs (basically MTOW) 2 - At 33 800' climbing at 1400'fpm at M0.82

I/ve tried streaming and installed - problem still there. It appears to be a hit and miss situation with me!

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

Thanks

This is happening too early. Change should be at M.82 but it already noses down at .78. Maybe already mentioned but I couldn't find anything

Any comment/feedback from inibuilds regarding this matter?

Just did a flight from London Heathrow to Teheran. In the climb the vertical speed stayed around 1 500' per minute. I was NOT in vertical speed mode. Was using PM and VNAV. This plane should climb at about 2500' + down to about 700' per minute as it gets higher. It should NOT stay at a constant VS. It appears the thrust/power management in the .air file needs some adjusting. Can you please look into this matter - thanks.

Did you re-enter the GMT?

Still wonky even after the update

Are those charts for the -500? I do not believe the N1 and EPR readings are correctly synced. I am going back about 45 years now but I recall seeing N1 values of 93% at a 350FL cruise. The N1 value should be between about 84 to 89/90. INI readings are about 79/80/

I am struggling to connect to navigraph. It's a bit of hit and miss - mostly miss. Navigraph keeps telling me to retry but to no avail. Any ideas please? I get the message that navigraph has connected and that I can close the window - but it does NOT connect. Regards Trevor

You have to fill in all the required parameters in the first 4 pages or so like BOD distance etc. Happened to me as well until I figured it out

Are there any liveries available for this plane in msfs 2024?

My A300 for 2024 is not in the list of aircraft nor in the comm folder after downloading. HELP plz

Anyone from inibuilds checked this?

Parked at FACT. Imported flightplan from Simbrief (FACT-FAOR). EFB gave the heading for Rwy 01 as 371 instead of 011 (360 + 11) ? Is this a navigraph or inibuilds error?
