Does 50% give you issues? In terms of 3rd party addons I don’t have anything installed that should affect the plane outside of the mission, I just have some sceneries and a couple 3rd party aircraft.
You are deploying your arrestor hook right? Because that would do it right there.
After landing the Experimental Darkstar, the nose wheel doesn’t steer anymore. No issues with taxiing before departure, but the moment I land at the arrival airport I’m not able to turn left or right for taxiing off the runway. Am I missing something? As far as I can tell there’s no “wheel lock” or anything to (dis)engage. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks i will try that out! Can you tell me why that inverted roll is so important? It was also part of the tutorial
thank you for these infos, because you just answered my follow up questions! 
edit: i did it!! And i’ve been absolutley overwhelmed by the surprising details… at Mach7 the jet starts glowing due to atmospheric resistance and you can see the plasma outside of the windows from within the cockpit … i love this DLC!

The AoA indexer to the left of the HUD is still the amber circle when you touch down right? Because it sounds like you’re either touching down too nose low/nose high.
Dont know then have you tried to touch the deck sooner or later then you normally would? I havent tried it myselft since I dont do missions lol, to bad no way to do it in the world map I miss landing my 737 on the AC.
Thank you Microsoft and Asobo for this great DLC update. I’ve had great fun.

Did anyone expierienced a shutdown of the scramjet inflight?
I made two flights now and somehow in between, travelling at 120kft and mach 9 the scramjets stops working with a beeping sound and no chance to switch it on again.
You can see as well, that the flaps of the scramjet not opened completely anymore.
So i stuck flying with Mach 3.74 with the conventional engines.

Has the challenge been validated?

Pffft. No working cup holders! How could that be missed . Also where do I put my Top Gun shades?
It is a fun DLC! Certainly interesting flying the Darkstar using just the displays, but it works.

I wasn’t expecting much but I actually really enjoy flying the Darkstar (though I think that’s a really silly name for an aircraft and I kind of hate it). The procedure of getting up to 120,000 feet is a lot of fun, rolling belly up and diving to gain speed to hit Mach 1 is something I will never get tired of doing. Watching the earth go by at Mach 9 hundreds of thousands of feet above it was a unique experience and really felt different from the kind of flying I normally do.
The challenges are also a ton of fun, especially the low flying time trials. Always nice to have an excuse to fly at 700 knots a few feet above the ground.
Could the DLC have been better? Sure. Could the DLC have been better while also remaining free of charge? Probably not.

Yes this morning
Been loving this update & some new variety of challenges but after 30mins spent doing the Darkstar challenge, following the instructions & everything going great. I slightly overstressed the aircraft descending to 10,000ft & now have to do it all again. It’s certainly not the end of the world & I get that the challenge scores are based on various ongoing things but a checkpoint or something would’ve been nice.
Where do you go, once lands at KXMR ?
I can’t complete the challenge.

Anybody noticed that when exactly following the objectives in the dark star mission, it won’t even reach Mach 2.0? It tells you to roll inverted way too late and pitch back up with 1.2g way too early. By the way, there is no such thing as a “GPS heading” 
.
Calling something disappointing which is for free while comparing to a paid DLC seems somewhat odd to me I gotta say…
