Flight model \ AP \ FMS

All questions about how the aircraft flies. Please post only one issue per post so we can follow up, do not post a list of question!

  1. In the aircraft.cfg this entry seems to have changed for the A321 IAE: [FLAPS.0] lift_scalar = 0.73 For the A321 CFM: lift_scalar 0.428 All of the A319-20 aircraft have this entry: lift_scalar = 0.385 //0.86=>cfg 3 Just curious about the change - it seems odd that the A321 IAE would have a value so different from the rest. Thanks!

    I've got a bug with the Aerosoft A320 family (literally all types), where, the ailerons move left and right all the time even when I'm not moving my joystick. It is a bit as if I was moving it left-right-left-right all the time. It causes a lot of crashes because even when AP is on, it still does it and it disconnects the autopilot and the story goes on. It is actually unfliable. It's not lag or any controls issue because all other aircraft work just fine. It worked fine before I moved on from FSX to P3Dv4. Please can I get some help? This has been an issue on all A318-A321.

    Hi, i hope the question is ok under this topic. Since i have installed the latest stable version i have the problem that i can´t load Cargo over the Fuel and Load page anymore. The page seem a bit buggy to me. Fuel is flashin green durin boarding, Passengers not it is organge and cargo is alwas white with no function. After the landing the plane is not empty which means an a further flight i can´t board anymore because there are for example 210 persons from the last flight in the airplane. (The Doors are open) Instant button works. It is in both Versions A319 and A320. Best Christian

    Hi, Ive been flying the airbus for over 5 months now but the last two months have been extremely difficult in terms of engine power. On my TOGA takeoffs my engines are only reaching a max of 80%. I literally cannot get them any higher. This makes for a heck of a time trying to get the aircraft to gain substantial altitude. Anyone else out there with this problem, if you have a fix please share it with me.

  5. Hello there, I have a annoying "wiggle" effect with the experimental version of the plane. I think its since v1.2.3.1 and tested and confirmed with current 1.2.3.6. I have figured out that the effect start after lift-off and ends when you lower the thrust to Climb and Flaps set to 1. The same wiggle will come back when landing, again in the last phase before touchdown. I only tried to land with this 2 times, so I cant say much about it. In 1.2.3.0 its working ok, so I'm currently stuck at this version. Some more facts? P3D v4.4 affecting both airbus packaged, means A318/19 and A320/21. …

  6. Earlier I was able to try a CATIII autoland in JFK because the wx definitely calls for it. Landed on rwy 04R with a good headwind, and light-moderate gusts. I was expecting a more graceful touchdown on FLARE mode, but it just dropped onto the runway, and I got a printout for a hard landing. I will try to do another one now, maybe several, and post a video here if it's the same results everytime. I understand that autoland should be somewhere in the -300~400 zone, a firm landing, but the AP behavior seems more of a controlled crash.

  7. Hi everybody Today I was attempting a flight between KLAS-KLAX with the A319 CFM 1.2.3.6. Currently I use P3D 4.5 which I upgraded from 4.4 earlier today. In order to upgrade I followed all the recommended steps by Lockheed Martin. Of course I restarted my system before flying. I load by default the cold and dark state. From there I went to prepare the plane as always during the preflight. Unfortunately, it was impossible to change the altitude in the FCU to other than its default value, in this case 100 ft. All the other knobs and buttons in the FCU seemed to work normally. I tried just in case pushing and pulling the knob, and also ch…

  8. Hello Everyone, I followed the instructions for the installation and I ran P3d as administrator and I don't have the aircraft state menu on the right MCDU. I cannot set cold and dark and check list. Pretty sure I'm doing something wrong. I also installed the Simconnect that I found here in the forum a topic talking about it. When I click on the top of the MCDU it pops up but it is dark and don't show anything. What I notice is that if I click on LKSn it actually excute the option. So if I click on the top left softkey it sets as cold and dark but it is hard to guess each option. Any idea? Thank you.

    I am not sure why is this happening. I have installed the 1.2.3 versions (Which is now 1.2.3.4 installed), and now I am getting a CTD when picking A318/A319/A320/A321. I have tried to select other aircrafts (i.e PMDG, QualityWings, Wilco) and they all work successfully with no hiccups. Each selection are all tested in the same scenarios, but the A318/A319/A320/A321 are the only two that will cause a CTD right after confirming all selections (The aircraft, weather, airport, and Time/Date). This was not a concern until I upgraded to the 1.2.3 series. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling, upgrading my drivers, playing with my P3Dv4 configurations, but nothing has worked. T…

  11. Hello everybody, I tried to find the answer to my questions on the forum, but no luck so far. I flew the B738 for 5 years now, and I just switched to the A319. While I can fly it pretty good, and I followed a lot of tutorials on the internet, I can not find the answer to the following: 1) If let's say ATC, at 3000ft, gives you the "free speed" or "no speed limit", how can I cancel the 250 below FL100 limit, in managed climb? I now I can always climb in OP CLB, and speed intervene, but I am curious if there's a way to program this in the FMGC. 2) The same issue for descending, let's say you want to descend faster below the FL…

    I was cruising over the Atlantic on my way to JFK and my managed speed suddenly dropped to 99 knots and my plane went into a stall. It took me a couple minutes to regain altitude but my managed speed keeps going to 99, even though it says 0.79 mach on my MCDU.

    Hi, when i try to fly Airbus professional, my sim crashes. After that i go to event viewer and check the logs. I have seen that Kernelbase.dll cause that. I fly another companied aircraft like as PMDG, Quality wings without any problems. But with the bus i can hardly open my sim and if can start my sim, it freezes while i am switching full screen to window mode. I have this problem since 1.2.3 versions. It started with 1.2.3.0 and contiuning in 1.2.3.2. I can not fly now. What might have caused this? I have Windows 10

  16. Thank you guys for a great product. I have noticed that the fully managed RNAV approaches are not working properly on the A319 Professional. On reaching the final approach fix at the platform height with approach mode armed, FINAL APP at this point has still not engaged and the aircraft levels off at the FCU selected ALT instead of continuing to follow the VDEV profile. If the approach at this this point is flown NAV/FPA with the Aproach mode still armed, the FINAL APP only engages between the last waypoint in the profile and the runway threshold. As a work around, if the fully managed approach is flown with the an FCU alt selected below the cross…

    Just got Aerosoft A320 for P3D V4, but when I take off and switch on the autopilot, the aircraft will follow the set altitude but won't turn to the flight plan at all. I set the autopilot to NAV mode before. Also, any flightplan that I export to the correct folder won't show up, so I have to manually input it into the MCDU. Please help.

  19. Hi! I recently updated both busses and now i'm facing some annoying problems! I searched solution and found one simmer who have had the same problem, but when i tried re-installing the update with antivirus off, the problem still existed. Should I do clean re-installation or is there some solution for this FCU font problem?

    Hi. Did You guys resolve problem with no working iae flex temp? On newest ver i still have issue And cant takeoff with flex temp calculated by the bus. 180pax 4500kg cargo 8.2fuel oat is 8c And calculated flex temp is 52, rwy lenght 3200m. Barerly take off with 800-1000fpm. Only toga works. I think prof ver airbus is regret comparing to 32bits. You guys had so long time to working on 64bits...And it looks Like this: managed descent only with speedbrakes with 4000fpm, managed mode sometimes dont work at all. So many problems.. just take a look at forum today And i cant believe that after a year of development its like beta stage.

  22. Airbus A318/A319: Since the installation of the experimental update 1.2.3.2 the tendency to the complete failure of all electrical systems and engines has increased - At least with me Three of 5 flights failed completely. Twice with the A318 (line up, climb) once with the A319 (cruise). Gruß, Wolfgang

  23. Hello, I have been flying all the A320 Professional family aircraft now and every time that I have flown the A321, problems occur on approach, once in Dublin and once just now in Oslo. While approaching ENGM (INREX4L arrival, followed by ILS approach to runway 1L) the aircraft proceeded to nosedive at -8000 feet per minute from 9000 to 5000 feet. The aircraft descended from 9000 to 5000 in a fraction of the distance which it was supposed to. I immediately switched the AP off, pulled the plane out of the dive and flew it manually until switching the AP on just a few minutes later. The plane then didn't capture the ILS glideslope and localizer despite me followi…
