I couldn't hold off...😎

Climbed to fl270 and thought we can easily go higher! Now looking for all the airports/rwy with some old school non RNAV arrival/approaches. 

This thing’s FMC reminds me of a VCR I used to own.

So here is a deal breaker for me! I maid three flights with Starship each over 2+ hours hauls in real time. Three times at the end of the flight Starship caused heavy stutters. I tried everything I can think of including tweaking my graphic settings or even go to BIOS and disabling C-State. Nothing really work. I suspect some kind of memory leak within Starship code.

As of right now Starship the only add on that causes stutters on my system. PMDG, FSLabs, Inbuild, A2A and other add ons are running smoothly on  long hauls from 2 to 8 hours. 

I have not experienced this myself but it has been noticed by some other users- https://community.justflight.com/topic/8265/fps-degradation-on-long-flight/18

Sounds like a memory leak. If that’s what it is, all that’s needed is a small patch to address it.

The Black Square developer just posted a potential workaround here:

(On the same thread @St Mawgan referred to earlier.)

It could be worth letting the dev know on the Just Flight forum whether it worked or not, as it appears to be an issue that only some users are seeing.

The "Number Stations" feature is pretty neat.

Thanks! I have already posted on Just Flight forum my issue

For those that use Volanta - In todays update they have added an icon for this!

The only thing which is funny is that the electronic checklists shuts itself off if you follow it.

So you would need a paper checklist after all if you want to follow it from start to finish

But such a great plane!

I did not experience that. Did you press the IDX button(bottom left of the screen) to call the checklist back? Or do you mean the screen goes entirely black? In which case did you check the temperature of the avionics compartment on your EFB (since too high temperature will shut off some avionics as explained by Nick in his preview video)?

No I mean that the normal checklist sometimes says to turn off the battery or instruments.

OK now I get it.

You probably noticed that the only instrument you switch on before starting both engines is the EICAS, that is why I misunderstood you. I use the panel on screen checklist after starting the engines once I have full ventilation ON, as the temperatures for the instruments is raising quite quickly. 

Before starting the engines, I use the checklists provided by the developer on the MSFS toolbar (that are the equivalent of the "paper" checklists you mentioned).

Anyone found any real world manuals ?

I tried an inflight shutdown and relight last night but when the engine restarted it took out all the electrics so there’s obviously a nack to it hidden in a manual somewhere.

Check out Bob Scherer's website:

https://bobscherer.com/Pages/Starship.htm

Lots of great material there, including a real-world Pilots Operating Manual:

https://www.bobscherer.com/Files/Starship/Flight Deck Publications/Starship Pilot's Operating Manual.pdf

Edit: The procedures themselves are in the Airplane Flight Manual:

https://bobscherer.com/Files/Starship/Flight Deck Publications/Starship Airplane Flight Manual.pdf

The in-flight relight procedure is in the Airplane Flight Manual, page 3A-3. There are various items related to the generator and generator ties -- maybe that was the reason for the electrical issue you experienced.
