  1. Started by Tom_L,

    I am on ver 1.1.0.0 . in P3D v4.3 ). When selecting "Arrival Wx" mostly nothing happens. I can't figure out the circumstances, but sometimes - after several minutes - a message is received. But this message doesn't contain a correct ATIS but the designator of the arrival airport and a listing of 5 or 6 different wind data, time is always 0000Z, only the QNH is given correctly. Even though Departure and Arrival Airport are correctly shown on the respective page of the AOC Menu only the departure weather will be received when selecting "ALL". I use AS 16, all FMS data are populated, I even tried entrering a flightplan in AS16 to no avail. The weather in the MCDU is set to S…

  2. Just downloaded the update ver 1.1.0.0. It seems to me, that the cockpitview on F9 is changed from a view close to 2D and to a virtual cockpit view. Is that correct - and then why? And can I get my 2d-like cockpit back on the F9 somewhere in the setup?

  3. Hi, After taken off (A/THR engaged, managed speed, AP off), passing the accelleration height, throttles in climb position, flaps still in 1+F, AP on : speed increases. If I don't retract the slats/flaps the bus speed continuing to increase to the target speed (eg 250 kts in managed mode without restriction) and overshoots the VFE, that should not happend.

    Hi Thanks for a great update but one issue which is a major one is the decent path. I begin decent just before tod and the aircraft descends at -1000 ft pm then suddenly the descent path drops to 6400 ft pm. The aircraft seems to be constantly chasing the purple descent marker. Regards Mark

    Hello, I saw the same topic (http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/137263-high-climb-rate-below-10000ft-and-flex-temp/) but it is closed, and I saw no answer. Same problem thanStarScream345 and thenewbpilot As soon as I engage the autopilot after take-off, an incredible rate of climb is performed by the A318 which provokes a stall.

    Hello. In a few recent flights I noticed that ARR ATIS is available shortly before descend ~30 nm before TOD. In the weather settings I am using SIM default option. Thanks Gregory

    Hi. First off, I just want to say I love your aircraft, and I'm doing what I can to get well into it. I have noticed, however, that there are times that the throttle control sometimes give me AUTO FLT A/THR LIMITED. I was under the impression that the throttle control on a A320-series aircraft wouldn't normally be touched between just after the takeoff, and when I'm told 'RETARD' - in which case I should put it to idle. Because of that, i don't touch the throttle during the flight. So why during the flight I do get this message (<- see the link to the screenshot here)? I usually then have to abort the landing because it puts the throttle to ma…

    Gentlemen I've searched the docs and am unable to find what this message means. Perhaps you could point me in the right direction? Superb software by the way. Thanks, Jack S.

    Hello, As soon as I entered a RWY+STAR the FMC had no TOD and on the APPR page it is displaying a weird VAPP and VLS speeds? Also from the moment TOC was reached "decelerate" was displayed on the PFD? Any ideas? Regards

  10. Every time I throttle up to taxi or take off I see the N1 bug move to the set position, however it takes several seconds (between 5 to 15) for the engines to begin spooling up. Is this normal?

    Hi, Thank for a beautiful plane! I have a strange problem, every time I hit F7 for setting flaps for example to 1+F the flaps lever and the flaps goes to FULL. F6 takes it back step by step but F7 goes almost all the time to full. Even FS2crew sets the flaps to full although 1+F is configured in FMGC. Anyone else stumbled over this problem Thanks! Matts

    Yesterday I've made a Visual 08 into LOWI. Like in the Procedure I took the VOR LOC to rwy 26 (only LOC was active) then I need to go to Heading I set the HDG pull the HDG knob but nothing happens, I have tried 2 or 3 times but in end effect I need to turn off the AP and continue manually. It's a bug or I missed something?

  19. When handflying, the FBW should keep the set attitude, but when I release the sidestick, the aircraft pitches up gradually to the 30deg limit. Because of this, I'm having to constantly hold sidestick pressure to counteract the pitch up command. Once AP is engaged, it controls the airplane fine, but as soon as I disconnect the AP, the pitch up occurs again. I've calibrated my joystick, and can replicate it even with the joystick disconnected. Any ideas? Thanks!

  20. Hello, The tutorial says, "The settings MCDU is opened via a hidden click zone on MCDU 1 or 2." This only works for the actual MCDU in the virtual cockpit, and not with the version that comes up when you use the shortcuts Shift +2, Shift +3 and Shift +4. Spent some time spinning on this, and it might save time for future users, to have that difference specified in the manual.

    Hello, I recently bought the new Airbus A319 professional and I must say it is very nice (besides the quality of the textures) but that's not the point. The other day I was flying at cruise in the EasyJet and I noticed that it had two overwing exits. Did I mess something up during the install or did you make two overwing exits on the A319? Whatever the case how can I fix it?
