The TriStar represents a unique era of aviation, combining advanced automation for its time with classic analogue charm, and now, it’s ready for you to experience like never before! Available Now via the In-Game Marketplace for $49.99! (excl marketplace location based VAT) Over 40+ liveries are available to download via the iniManager: https://inibuilds.com/pages/inimanager-v2 From its unmistakable tri-jet design to its highly unique flight systems, the TriStar delivers a flying experience unlike anything else in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Whether you're managing the aircraft’s intricate systems, flying precision approaches, or cruising long-haul historic routes, every moment captures the essence of this legendary airliner. With a deep focus on authenticity, the TriStar challenges you to think differently, blending traditional navigation techniques with innovative systems that were ahead of their time. This is not just another aircraft, it’s a completely different way of flying! Aircraft Features Systems Detailed RB211 engine simulation with authentic EPR logic, spool behaviour, and realistic thrust response Detailed AFCS simulation with CAT IIIB auto land capability. Accurate Direct Lift Control (DLC) system for precise glidepath control without excessive pitch input Complete hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical systems with realistic redundancy and load management Fully interactive Flight Engineer station with real-world procedures and system monitoring Optional Virtual Flight Engineer with flow-based automation, callouts, and dynamic interaction Flexible navigation philosophy (RADNAV, INS, GPS, INS+GPS) selectable via PFB Realistic fuel system and transfer logic implemented using the modern fuel system with fully modelled valves and pump behaviour. Advanced environmental and pressurisation systems with zoned temperature control and reversion modes Integrated moving map & INS waypoint management, including SimBrief route import capability Fully simulated triple INS system, supporting authentic waypoint entry, alignment, and inertial navigation workflows Realistic INS behaviour and drift modelling, with aircraft position based on alignment accuracy and in-flight updates Integrated Performance Management System (PMS) providing advanced VNAV capability when using INS-based navigation modes Seamless INS + PMS integration, enabling a hybrid workflow that blends classic inertial navigation with modern vertical guidance Visuals Realistic lighting environment with cockpit, cabin, and exterior systems tuned for all conditions Highly detailed TriStar cockpit recreation, including Captain, FO, and full Engineer station Realistic wear-and-tear texturing with aged materials, scratches, and operational grime Fully modelled passenger cabin with period-correct layout, materials, and lighting tone Optional lower lounge configuration with spiral staircase and detailed lower deck environment Detailed cargo bay and structural modelling Accurate PBR material system with dynamic lighting response across all surfaces Fully animated control surfaces and landing gear with real-world sequencing and behaviour Dynamic wing flex, engine vibration, and environmental effects for added realism Included POD variant with visual modifications and unique operational characteristics Sounds Professionally recorded real-world L-1011 audio captured at the TriStar Experience by Echo19 Audio Productions Authentic RB211 engine sound profile, from spool-up to cruise and reverse thrust Detailed cockpit ambience, including switches, avionics hum, and airflow Immersive cabin environment audio, reflecting phase of flight and aircraft state Dynamic environmental sound transitions between interior and exterior perspectives High-quality system and mechanical audio feedback across all interactions Integrated Virtual Flight Engineer, First Office and Flight Attendant voice callouts for realistic crew coordination Reactive audio layering based on power, speed, and environment for a living sound suite Art & Effects Physically accurate lighting system using real-world intensity and colour references Fully dynamic cockpit lighting suite, including panel, flood, pedestal, and Flight Engineer station lighting Realistic exterior lighting behaviour across weather, fog, and night conditions Dynamic heat blur and engine exhaust effects tied to power output Subtle airframe vibration and motion effects enhancing aircraft weight and presence Authentic incandescent-style cabin lighting for period-correct atmosphere Advanced ambient occlusion and shadowing for depth and realism in all lighting conditions Smooth light transitions between day, dusk, and night operations Enhanced reflection and material response across cockpit and exterior surfaces Cohesive visual atmosphere capturing the “golden era” of widebody aviation PFB Unique period-inspired “Paper Flight Bag” replacing modern EFBs with an analogue feel Built-in Flight Engineer Autocomplete system for full or partial aircraft setup Integrated SimBrief import for route, fuel, and payload synchronisation Interactive loadsheet and CG management with real-time visual feedback Customisable fuel and payload loading with dynamic aircraft response Intuitive performance calculator with simple step-by-step takeoff & landing setup Styled OFP (Operational Flight Plan) with realistic dispatch-style layout Integrated chart system supporting LIDO & Navigraph with pinning and search Aircraft ground services and state control panel (doors, GPU, air start, pushback) Central hub for navigation mode selection and aircraft configuration preferences From short regional hops to long-haul transatlantic crossings, the TriStar operated across the globe with airlines like Delta, British Airways, Eastern, and many more. Recreate these historic routes or forge your own across a wide range of destinations, from busy international hubs to scenic regional airports. Fly classic routes from hubs such as London Heathrow, Dubai, Manchester, and Honolulu, or explore lesser-known operations that defined the TriStar’s legacy. Pair it with historic flight data tools like FlightSim Dispatch to bring even more realism into your operations. As always, thank you for your continued support ❤️ We can’t wait for you to dive in and experience this iconic aircraft for yourself! If you’re just getting started, we highly recommend taking some time to explore the FAQs, read through the manual, and watch the “Welcome To” video, these will give you everything you need to get up and running and make the most of your first flights.
