when i start taxing the tiller moves to RH and it only goes back when i stop. My rudders(mfg crosswind) is centered and yet it still pushesd me to the right.

G'day Couple of observations. Optimum altitudes look good on the A321 but the max altitudes are completely wrong. At 90tonnes you are looking at a max around 29-30000 temp dependent. I am seeing FL390. This is way off. Likewise it took me at ISA+15 73nm to get to 29000 at a take off weight of 92.8 tonnes. In the real world it takes WAY WAY longer. At ISA +15 to 20 around 230-250nm with rates of climb Around 1500 initially decreasing to around 600fpm near top of climb. Flight model needs some fairly major tweaking at the heavy end..

Having spent many years flying the A321 I am wondering why your A321 is limited to 89000Kg MTOW. A321's for some time ie 10 years have been cleared to at least 93000Kg max take off weight. In fact to do many flights you NEED a 93K MTOW for longer high density ops. Can this be changed to reflect reality for many carriers without it coming up as overloaded ie in red in the setup page? Also any chance of seeing the ACT implemented also used by many carriers to increase fuel uplift..

Hello, yesterday I downloaded the new A320/A321 and made my first flight with the A321 IAE. I did have a new problem, which I didn't even have in the new A319. I entered all needed data, and uplifted 6.4t of fuel for the flight from Frankfurt to Hamburg. After entering the flight plan, the MCDU showed an EFOB upon landing in Hamburg of 4.6t. So the FMS expected the whole flight to only use 1.8t of fuel, which is far from the correct fuel usage. Once in the air, nearing 4.6t of remaining fuel, the EFOB stepped down by 0.1t steps until lafter landing, which remained about 3.5t of fuel left. Can somebody confirm this? For me it seems to be a new issue…

Hello! Im trying the C&D state for the A320 and it is not possible to remove the SET IRS TO NAV message from the scratch pad until I actually set them to nav. But the message should be removed when clicking CLR at the MCDU even if the ADIRS are still off. Regards!!!

Hi, I just took off with the freshly released A321 with IAE engines and no sharklets from runway 03R at Athens. The TOW was 77100 kgs. Shortly after take off the aircraft started to climb with nearly 5000 ft/min and reached FL100 after 3 minutes and FL350 after 14 minutes. This seems a bit overdone to me, so please fix that. All the best

Hello, I just had the problem, that the A321 IAE left the SID after departure in Frankfurt. I flew the MARUN6M departure, activated the AP at about 2000ft and while the SID turned right, the Bus suddenly turned left away from the SID on Autopilot. I could not find out why. An important information is maybe, that I had this issue always from time to time with the old Airbus Extended. Is this maybe a database issue? The SID seemed to be complete and with no wrong waypoint or something. Or is this an issue in the code? There is this litte green line, that shouldn't be there maybe. Which kind of issue is this?

Hey folks. Today I planned to do a flight from KORD to KEGE. The estimated fuel for the flight was 8700KG i ensured it was loaded in the aircraft before pushback and it was. I set all my parameters in the FMS, flex temps, weights, ect. The aircraft was already running when I set the preflighted/set parameters. When I added power to begin my taxi the aircraft taxied then both engines shutdown. I thought it was a glitch. So I fired up the APU, started both engines again, reprogrammed my route and headed towards the runway, ensuring I had enough fuel..it showed 8600KG. So I made it to the runway, set my flex temp, started my climb, got to about 15000 Feet then t…

Hello, good evening. I just noticed that the A320 variant of the airbus seems to be using the IAE engines from the A321, since the EPR ratings are the same and much higher than what would be found in an A320. Here are two pictures illustrating what i mean, which have been taken using same weather conditions (CFM version doesnt suffer from this problem).

First flight, everything seems great, except it wont follow the NAV path. All PFD indications fine, but it just flies wings level.

Any of you guys having issues with reverse thrust? The key is assigned to my joystick, but nothing happens unless I press F2 on the keyboard. All other planes, including the 318/9 dont have this issue... lol. Thanks. Fixed by reinstalling FSUIPC

every time I have thunderstorms or heavy thunderstorms, the Airbus is unflyable its start accelerate with no end, or start climb or descend very fast like a rocket or in the app the speed auto mode goes to TOGA/LK always. I have set AS16 TO realism mode. In the simulator and I have normally btwn 24 to 60 FPS with airbus

Hi all, I've seen a couple of old threads about this regarding the old versions of the Airbus, and have just discovered the same issue myself. To summarise: When flying the CFM Airbus (in this particular case the A318), fuel consumption does not appear to be consistent, instead showing near sieve-like fuel-burn qualities. I've attached a flight plan a flight plan (very) similar to the one I used in order to potentially aid in replication. Also to Clarify: My flights are currently planned with PFPX (Active Sky Providing the weather), with the subsequent weights then inputted into the options mcdu. It is obvious that even with the IAE aircraft that the fuel b…

Hello, is there something new on the high climb rates after take off? I just had the following Scenario, that you can reproduce. Flight Frankfurt>Dusseldorf Flight plan: MARUN Y152 ARPEG Z850 ADEMI T854 DOMUX Departure: runway 07C SID: MARUN5E Load: 132 pax, 1.8t cargo, 4.8t fuel I took off from runway 07C and continued on the SID with autopilot and autothrust enganged. Due to traffic I had to level off at FL070. The airspeed was 250kt due to being below FL100. After being clear of the traffic the controller on IVAO instructed me to climb to FL130 which I complied with. As the A319 now accelerated the …

Hi guys, I’m quite glad with this new bus but definately I have a problem when getting on the T/D and pushing the ALT knob. The aircraft starts its descent but does not follow the magenta dot. Vertical speed will be from -6500 and -5000. i’ve read here that could be due to our weather engines but it is quite strange. With the same weather engine on other versions i did not have this issue. On the FMC there is no chance to introduce the weather manually in case this is the reason for the issu. I’ve performed many flights now with this new bus and the behaviour is always the same regarding following the descend path. …

Hi there, Two days ago I networked my sim so that Active sky is on a different computer to my sim'd computer. Prior to this I was able to upload the winds however I'm no longer able to do this. Can you please advise of a way I can do this? It just cycles through these two pages each time I try. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I just got a question about the climb rates in the A319 once you reach the higher flight levels. I'm seeing very low rates of climb there, dropping even below 1000fpm above 30,000ft. The aircraft is at the the max thrust rating for climb during this which is about 90% N1 which seems kinda low. It will get eventuall to the cruise level, but it feels very sluggish to get there. I did also fly the old Airbus in FSX which I think did not show this behaviour. Now the question is if this actually how the aircraft should behave also in RL or if this is something off with the current version of the Aerosoft Airbus.

For comparison I have the P3D v4/v3 loaded on my pc. With the a319 v4 on the former and the a320 v3 on the latter. With P3D v3 vehicles and the A320 v3 run smoothly.. However with the P3D V4 and a319 v4 there are problems. When observing vehicles on the ground they start and stop.as they pass in front of the aircraft (millisecs spacing) When taxying the a319 v4 it continues to hesitate briefly whilst taxying. If I pan round the cockpit it is not continuous but stops and starts as if moving to stop points. With P3D V4 default aircraft there is no hesitation as listed with the a319 v4 and the pan is continous and not interupted. Could …

Hi, First, congratulations on the release! I am really enjoying the aircraft! Today I got a strange behavior with the Airbus - when descending into FSDT KDFW I got the "normal stutters" when the airport scenery loads about 10 miles out. However, during this time the aircraft lost control (pitched up/down violently) - seemed the stutters affected the aircraft directly! What could have caused this? This hasn't happened to me with other complex aircraft addons no matter how heavy the stutters got. Thanks, Shom

I'm not sure what is causing this. So far since installing Aerosoft PRO 2 days ago i have not had a successful flight without rolling out of control after takeoff and plunging to the earth out of control. 1) On takeoff my engines do not spool up FLEX in order to make a proper takeoff. I have to ignore V2 and force the aircraft to use a bit more runway to get off the ground. 2) After takeoff i cant control the left right ailerons. She stars pitching to the left then right violently and i struggle to keep the plane in a straight line. MY FPS DIVES! 3) Now comes the crescendo. As soon as i enable autopilot the plane stars banking further to the right th…

Hello, so far I made three flights with the A319, but it seems the climb rate is way too high. For example I took off in EDDF with 120 passengers, 5t fuel and 1.8t of cargo, so the take off weight was about 55t. After take off with FLEX 78 (quite low thrust setting), the bus begins to climb at up to 5800ft/min and the pitch attitude seems to be much higher than usual. The old A319 did not have this behaviour with the same settings. Is this an issue or anything I can set up different to prevent this (for me unrealistic) performance? Regards, Julian

Hello, I don't know it this has been reported yet. During climb or shortly before top of climb, the magenta diamond for the target speed disappears and turns into a 0 at the bottom. At TOC, the magenta diamond re-appears and stays correct for the remainder of the flight. The speed itself is correct, although the diamond is gone. Is this a bug? Regards, Julian
