Flightdeck window tint seems a little strong making outside darker then normal.
Personally, to me, it still feels a bit dark. The darkness is especially noticeable over at the FE’s panel in the daytime. One almost always needs the instrument panel lights on. I know, MSFS ambient lighting has always been a struggle, but these dark windows seem to make the effect worse inside.

CVR needle missing
For me, the CVR needle on the appears to be missing in the gauge. When I press the test button, nothing happens.

EFDARS
I’d love to see an operative EFDARS panel. Don’t need all of the functions, but enough to be able to go in and complete the normal preflight items would be satisfactory. It’s the little things like this that add to the immersion.

Cockpit Sound missing?
I seem to be missing pretty much all interior cockpit ambient sounds (with buses powered) on the ground. I can hear switch sounds, warning sounds, external power cart, etc. I thought nothing of it, until I suddenly heard them while recycling views quick. Then, just as quick as they appeared, they disappeared again. Not sure exactly how to reproduce other than cycling my exterior/interior views back and forth quickly on ChasePlane.

Pre-Flight Check Inconsistencies
Great list! Also, the fuel quantity in the 1A and 3A inboard tanks appears to be backwards. Aka, when total fuel is above 159,240lbs, then the 1A & 3A quantities are showing less than 100lbs. But, when total fuel is below 159,240lbs, they are showing thousands of pounds of fuel in them. According to the manual, it should be reversed. Please see attached photos for reference

Pre-Flight Check Inconsistencies
The Refuel Power Light seems to be on by default when going through the preflight checks from the cold/dark state. According to the manual, this should only be in while fueling is in progress.

During the preflight, the OPEN lights should remain on when pressing both the Generator Field Close and Generator Breaker Close buttons. Right now, they are OFF and they stay OFF. According to the manual, they should be ON. Please see attached image for reference

EDP Low Press lights
On the ground with the engines off, the LO PR lights on the engine driven hydraulic pumps should be illuminated, but it’s not. See attached photos for reference

When testing the Nacelle/Pylon OVHT DET with the test switch: The NACELLE NO1, 2, & 3 OVHT lights do not illuminate on the pilot’s forward panel as they should. Please see the attached photo for reference.

Pre-Flight Check Inconsistencies
The ENG TURB COOLING AIR test isn’t functioning as it should. First, there is no mechanism to press both switches simultaneously like there is on the other fire test panels. Second, when pressing a single switch, the lights should not illuminate (they should only illuminate when pressed simultaneously) Third, the TURB AIR OVHT ENG lights should also illuminate on the Pilot’s forward panel during this test. As of now, they don’t. Please see attached photos for reference.

Pre-Flight Check Inconsistencies
When performing the lights test on the FE’s panel, I’ve noticed a few things that aren’t quite right. First, the fire detection lights are still illuminating when the manual says that they shouldn’t Second, with the APU Master Power switch ON, the 4 red APU fault lights do not illuminate. these 4 lights should illuminate during the test, and then need to be reset by pressing the reset button after the lights test button is unlatched again. I understand, a comprehensive failure simulation isn’t part of this product, but since this test is part of the normal SOPs for most every L1011 operator out there, I really do think it should be added. Please see attached photos for reference.

L1011 Tristar Nav Options
Hello, I am beyond ecstatic with the L1011 announcement! It is especially cool that you all are adding in support for a wide variety of navigation options. I would really just kindly like to request one option of including the Working Title UNS-1 added as an option. Quite a few L1011s had some shade of Universal FMS systems installed later in their lives. I think that this would be a bit more realistic than the GNS530, not to mention is a LOT easier to operate as a sim pilot in an already busy flight deck. Thanks for the consideration, Rob
