This isn't really the greatest system as the default MSFS ground equipment can be rather unreliable. So a custom and immediate ground power unit, one that works every time no matter where you are, would be a very welcome change. https://www.captainsim.org/forum/csf.pl?num=1793479431 CAPTAIN SIM FORUM/L-1011 TriStar https://www.captainsim.org/forum/csf.pl?num=1793479431 Sat, 31 Oct 2026 20:43:51 GMT Some simmers, like myself, can't get their heads around the highly complex, old and limited CIVA INS navigation system on older aircraft like the L-1011. So having a toggle-able FMC or MCDU to take the place of the CIVA would make this aircraft more friendly to casual simmers and hardcore simmers alike.<br /><br /><br />The FMC / MCDU could be toggled with either a clicking point by the CIVA to swap between them, or it could be a setting within an EFB tablet. <br /><br />Or, if it's not possible to swap in that way, there could be a second version of the aircraft with an FMC / MCDU instead. Meaning you'd have one variant with a CIVA and the other with an FMC / MCDU in the aircraft selector, similar to the Inibuilds Boeing 707-320C. https://www.captainsim.org/forum/csf.pl?num=1793439288 CAPTAIN SIM FORUM/L-1011 TriStar https://www.captainsim.org/forum/csf.pl?num=1793439288 Sat, 31 Oct 2026 09:34:48 GMT We’re pleased to announce the first release of the L-1011 TriStar for MSFS 2020!<br /><br />Development is ongoing, and we’re already working on the first update.<br /><br />We’re actively collecting bug reports, feedback, and suggestions from the community.
