If you want to get some help on navigation and MCDU procedures, here is tyhe place: Please post only one issue per post so we can follow up, do not post a list of question!

  1. Started by Emi,

    We have collected a lot of evidence from many customers now for whom the Airbus did not follow the route as entered in the MCDU. In the vast majority of cases this was caused by missing information. The users mainly forgot to enter the weights, etc. in the INIT B page. Note this is NOT a Boeing, the INIT page has two pages in an Airbus, INIT A, where you fill the route and flight related stuff, and INIT B where you put in the weights and fuel related information. If you start in a ready to fly state with the engines running the INIT B page will not be accessible anymore, but you can use the FUEL PRED page to insert your weights instead. P…

    Captains, we see a large number of you encountering issues because of incorrect use of the automation. We recommend all of you to take some time and review the golden rules of flying an Airbus. http://www.smartcockpit.com/docs/Golden_Rules.pdf Particularly rule number 5: Know your guidance at all times! Many of you encounter issues with strange climb or descend behavior. In many of these cases these are because of incorrect modes (or in fact no modes selected at all!). Does your Airbus climb at 8000fpm only to reach stall speed? Why does it do so? Is CLB or OP CLB engaged at all? We know there are still some issues in the…

  3. Just to remind you all, the Aerosoft A318/A319/A320/A321 professional is delivered with the current Lufthansa Datasystems database. AIRAC cycle : 1807 Revision : 1 Valid (from/to): 21/JUN/2018 - 18/JUL/2018 and not with an outdated database as you will find on other aircraft. So there is no need to update the database until later in July. At that time you can use Navigraph or NavdataPro of course.

    The A330 disappeared from P3D, so I've had to edit the add-on.xml to point at the correct location and it's now as below. When I load the A330 I get the following two errors, and the simulator is totally unresponsive/sluggish. <SimBase.Document Type="AddOnXml" version="4,0" id="add-on"> <AddOn.Name>Aerosoft A330 Professional</AddOn.Name> <AddOn.Description>Aerosoft A330 Professional</AddOn.Description> <AddOn.Component> <Category>SimObjects</Category> <Path>D:\Games\Other P3D\Aerosoft\Aerosoft A330 Professional\SimObjects\Airplanes</Path> </Add…

  10. I am not sure about what is happening. I have my Navigraph updated to the newest AIRAC which is 2412 and installed to the Aeosoft folder (Documents/Aerosoft/General/A3XX Navigraph). But after I enter the game, the aircraft's mcdi did not show the current AIRAC 2412 and cannot read any airports data. I tried to enter the flight route, it showed NOT IN DATABASE. Can somebody help me please

    Being new to the P3D A330 quite a few things are causing me to search for answers. One thing I can't find an answer to is the flight path depicted for a STAR into EGLL. The flight path for ALES1H ILS27L via BIG is confusing. What is the MCDU trying to do? even a F35B would have a job conforming to this FP. I know I am on the ground prior to engine start but a bit of pre-planning is essential.

  12. I have followed the procedures set forth in the documentation for the A330 Professional, however, regardless of what I do, the F, S, and O speeds are not appearing in the MCDU. I have entered all the necessary data into INIT A and B, as well as loading the aircraft through the MCDU. This has never been a problem when I was using the A320X or the FSLabs A320, only your A330.

    I v been searching the internet and especially this forum on my problem, but until now, no luck. My FMCU does not "see" the nav dbase. (picture 1) Some (maybe) important remarks: I installed all my sim-related stuf on a seperate harddisk (D:\) (picture 3 for a global look of my directory structure) Picure 2: the textfile about the dbase date/version (may be important?) I purchased the A320 pro via ORBX and hence installed it via the ORBX installer. I did several re installs, but no luck so far. Somewhere someone stated that Onderive might be an issue? I tried to un-link my documents from Onedrive but it wont let me "…

  15. For a long time, my A320/321 and A330 worked according to expectations. Since a few days, I have two troubling observations (observed in different flights; am able to reproduce) i) After TO I switch on the AP and the plane behaves normally. Then I switch HDG from managed to select mode, deviate slightly from the MCDU route, then want to go back into managed mode again (NAV). This is when in the MCDU the waypoints disappear in rapid succession. If I am lucky and have the active FP copied in the secondary, I was able to reactive the FP from the secondary. ii) When departing from LSZH (16) immediately after takeoff, all waypoints where gone with the exc…

    hello, ive got a problem with the Aerosoft A319 pro for P3Dv4.5, everytime i take off, the airbus never follows the route path and all the waypoints one by one vanish from the ND right in front of my eyes leaving only the SIDS/STARS and arrival airport on the ND, its like something keeps scoffing the waypoints from the MCDU and ND.....never had this issue with the A320/A321 just the A319......i import the route from simbrief..and/or PFPX....Navdata is up to date as im a subscriber to Navigraph....dont understand what the issue is. please help.....

  17. Which is the correct Lvar (local variable) to use to alter the brightness level for the FO's PFD and ND. I searched the Lvar list and found the apparent equivalent Lvar for the FO PFD power and the FO ND power. However when I tried them out with a rotary encoder to increase and decrease the level nothing happened. You can control the brightness using a mouse but that is not what I want to do. All the other display brightnesses (captain's PFD and ND, both ECAMs and the FCU) are being controlled using encoders. The Lvars that I found are "AB_MPL_PFD_FO_Power" and "AB_MPL_ND_FO_Power". I am using P3Dv5.3.

  19. This happened at around five hours after airborne, the aircraft start climbing on its own, from FL360 to a max of 47176 feet, while the speed was stable. Then after a short while, the speed was dropped to 152kts from 301kts, as shown in the screen shot below, and the altitude was dropped to 23364 feet. It all happened while I was sleeping, and this was not the first time the aircraft behaving like this. The aircraft's AT was still on CLB when I woke up, and the FPS was really low(5-10 fps).

    Hi Guys, First off thanks for a wonderful product.Since the last major update to version 1.4.3.0 i seem to be having an issue with the autoland feature. Prior to the update my autolands were always in the region of 100 fpm to 250fpm which is perfect for the virtual airline i fly for before losing XP for hard landings.I always like to share my landings between manual and autoland about 50/50.I was wondering if you guys changed anything with ref to the autoland feature in the new build because all my autolands now are beteeen 350fpm and 500fpm.This has me confused because of such a dramatic difference between the new version and the previous version…

  24. Hi, I have a situation with the Aerosoft Airbus A321 (Prepar3d v4.5) which I am really hoping somebody can help me with. I am unable to change the arrival runway (and STAR) during a flight. So, if I am assigned a different runway by ATC from the one I was expecting, I cannot complete the flight since there is no way I can make the change. I've thoroughly checked the existing threads on this topic, and tried the suggestions, including the following... https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/121426-how-can-i-edit-the-arrival-runway-while-in-flight/ and https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/108737-changing-star-in-flight/ The advice given in…

  25. Greetings: I’ve flown airways across half the U.S but now I can’t load any airways. I’m not sure if this is an Aerosoft problem, a Navigraph problem or just pilot error so I’m posting on both Aerosoft’s and Navigraph’s forums. I’ve installed Navigraph’s new AIRAC Cycle 2205 but it didn’t help. Here’s an example: Monterey, CA to Santa Barbara, CA (KMRY SNS BSR MQO GVO KSBA) Pics 4, 5 and 6. On the Flight Plan Page I clicked on LSK3L which took me to the Lat Rev Page “From SNS.” Then I clicked on LSK5R to pull up all the Airways but all I got was a blank page. I should be able to fly the V25, V248 or T329 airways from SNS. …
