    Hi There, I was doing another flight last night - I took off with checklists and co-pilot enabled, and everything was fine - however about 4000 into the climb, the checklists stopped responding again - this is similar behaviour to my earlier post about this. I got to cruise alt - and attempted to make sure that the aircraft was in the correct state so that the Prep-Descent checklist would become enabled which I believed to be the following three items: TCAS TA or TA/RA plus TILT NORMAL = SET SEAT BELTS = OFF SLIDING TABLE COPILOT = EXTENDED But the checklist was still greyed out. Any ideas? Thanks

    Hello After several flights, I see that I never get loadsheet that it is the A320 or the A319. Yet all passengers are on board, fuel and luggage are loaded, pages INIT A and B are correctly filled, and departure airport and runway are selected in the flight plan of the MCDU. I do not understand why, am I doing something wrong? Thank you for your help. Raymond

  3. Just a quick question. I noticed that by default, checklist and co-pilot is off by default and have to be started manually. Is this normal? Thanks.

  4. Hi all, last flight with the A319, approach into the novel EGPH by ORBX, the checklist got stuck at the point "cabin signs", copilot active. I constantly heard a switching sound (as if the switch was constantly switched), the "cabin signs" announcement continously reappeared and I was neither able to stop or skip this item in the checklist (if this would be possible at all). What went wrong? I was also not able to manually switch the seatbelt sign, it was stucked in the "on" position. The other switch worked. Thanks for any hint... Regards Chris PS: I stopped using the experimental updates, that is why I am on the last non-experimental state. …

    I tried using the pilot and co-pilot of the checklist in a short flight just to see how Aerosoft's "automation" worked. The message from the MCDU was to initiate descent after descent preparation checklist was read. So I pulled the altitude knob to start descent. However, it was way too early. What triggers the various stages of flight from the checklist? Did I do something wrong?

  6. Hello, during Climb and Descend the Checklist turns off/on the Seatbelt Signs and the PED at exactly 10.000 feet. Is there a way to change this altitude? I have experienced some issues after doing it manually because it somehow confused the CL-Function or the Seat Belt Switch was stuck somehow because being held by the CL. It would be cool if you could change that in a file somewhere. Is there a way? Kind regards, Martin

    Dear staff, Last night I started a flight after the last GSX update. I did the start up procedure as it should but after starting engine one the PF did not announce that engine one was stabilised. In the mean time GSX finished the push back procedure and eventually tells me to 'have a good trip'', but the message board tells me I have to wait for their advice en the message 'wait' before after start checklist never appears. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Daniel

    I have the Airbus Professional and trying to get a decent flight from the A319. I set all the controls, flight plane entered, everything looks good. When I go to take off--throttles set to FLEX/MCT- shortly after takeoff, the AFloor notification comes on in the PFD. This has happened the last four flights. I use Simbrief as my flight planner and use Simbrief's performance profile of A319-100 when I set up my flight planning. Am I doing something wrong to constantly get the AFloor warning? This is getting quite frustrating because I can't complete the flight. All suggestions/help is appreciated.

    I have the entire set of Airbus aircraft but am having a problem with the checklist. I don't have rudder pedals but I don't know to check the rudders when the checklist is checking the flight controls, it seems to be stuck their. I checked with the help menu in P3Dv4 and really couldn't find anything to help. Is there a work around for those of us without rudder pedals? One more question, is there more than one checklist? On the MCDU is shows Checklist A are there more? How do I access them.

    Since the previous version to the current full build, I never managed to get the hotkeys to work. I have it enabled on the MCDU options, but whenever I press '1', nothing happens. I always have to manually press the next checklist. Just wondering if this is happening to others as well? The only add-on I use are REX SF+EF, ChasePlane, FS RealTime.

  11. I have been using the new GSX Level 2 version 2.6.0.0 with A320 v1.2.4.2 with no problems. Today I updated to version 1.2.5.0 by uninstalling the previous version and the contents of the General folder then installed the new version and rebooted. Now when the GSX fuel truck connects all the hoses at KSFO gate 82 I get the message "(GSX) Please use the refueling system of your aircraft to refuel" as I always used to see and then fueling would begin automatically but now fueling will not begin and the message just keeps repeating. I use the Aerosoft fuel planner to establish loads and then use the LOADSHEET init to load it. I have the A32…

    Hello, Would it be possible to have, perhaps in a PDF or similar, the checklist that follows the first official of Aerosoft? For me it would be nice to be able to follow it even without hearing the voice, so as to check what has already been done and what I will have to do. Thanks you so much

    Hello, After the last update 1.2.4.2, the checklist hangs in different item. What happens to me more often and after the push, hangs up telling me to follow the instructions of GSX even if GSX has gone away. Can you check this error? Thanks

  15. I've been flying the Aerosoft Airbus A320/321 almost daily for a few months now, and I almost always use the checklists and copilot. Because I'm lazy and like to let the plane fly itself. LOL Anyway, today I completed a flight without incident, shut down the computer and went about my day. This evening I booted up with the intention of doing my return flight. I get into the checklists. I get to the pushback option. I call for pushback. The pushback starts and ground tells me I'm cleared to start engines. I switch on the engine mode selector to IGN/START and flip engine 2 switch. The checklist says "Starting engine 2". Engine 2 starts. That's as far as it gets.…

    Hi, have just done a fresh install of P3Dv4.5 and Airbus Pro v1.2.40. When using the Aircraft, there are no internal sounds I.e button clicks, warnings etc. also there are no voices when the checklist is in operation, even though you can see the buttons moving and the checklist moving to the next item. There are outside sounds, such as the engines etc and the sounds on my other Aircraft are working OK. Can anyone help please? Bigtaff P.s. I noticed that the "bus" has been installed in the C:\Users\Documents folder rather than the default P3D folder, is this correct?

    The following has occurred on all 3 tests flights so far. I use GSX and have Use GSX configured in the Gnd Services section. Upon pushback, I start Engine 2 and as before when I here the Engine 2 Stable announcment, I start Engine 1. The Engine 1 Stable announcment never happens and the info bar continues to show Follow GSX Instructions. I let the aircraft sit running for 1 hour and stayed stuck at that position in the flow. Does anyone else see this?

  18. I have a bad habit of forgetting to run the before takeoff checklist. So once I set takeoff thrust, the checklists and copilot basically shut down because I missed that checklist. Is there any way to force the sim to move on to the next checklist? I've tried turning off both checklists and copilot, but that doesn't seem to do it.

  19. Hello Aerosoft, I know I am using the experimental channel but want to inform you about 2 issues occuring when doing a flight with the checklist and virtual copilot in v.1.2.3.6: - In older versions the standard flaps/trim was taken over from the fuel planner; now it is empty - I have changed transition altitude to 18.000. When at 18.000ft, the baro automatically goes to STD, but the copilot is still saying 'set baro reference captain'... If I press 'B' then, everything is OK Can you please check?

  20. I have a problem where the voices from the copilot and checklist stop working during a flight. Doing the tutorial flight, I hear everything at the start of the flight such as the checklist, speed announcements, "rotate" etc but at some point during the flight they stop working. I don't hear descent checklist, altitude announcements and other such stuff during landing, although the autoland works perfectly. I've not touched any volume or other controls during the flight. Engine and other sounds are fine. I can hear the results of what's happening during the checklists, ie the copilot turning switches, operating the gear lever but I'm missing voices. The only vo…

  21. Hello, i have little problems with the light-handling in the automatic checklists. At the point "navigation lights" in the cockpit prepar checklist, i switch nav-lights on (logo) and strobes on. But the checklists stuck on this point, i always must skip this checklist-point. At the taxi-checklist, i switch on the Runway-Lights and the Nose-Lights. Then die checklists stucks, but i wait until the second call from the FO comes, suddenly the checklist goes ahead. -> So this point needs some more time or i also skip the point. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Second Question: When will the documentation …

    Dear Aerosoft developers! First, thanks a lot for the Professional version, it seems much complex and realistic, than X one. I have bought Prof yesterday, and try it today. EETN-EPWA flight is successful :), however, I have some issues, and will be very appreciated if you comment them (I tried to google on the forum, but did't find related info). So : 1. First officer window. I am able to open it, but cannot close, dedicated mouse area does nothing. I have right side window panel on separate monitor 2. Printouts. I can see them on printer, but left mouse click doesn't open it as "plain window" as expected, they just are closed 3. Bef…

    This seems to be an issue after the latest update was installed. When I'm flying with checklists, and the copilot enabled and I've reached FL180, the callout is made to reset altimeter to std, however the altimeter is not updating to STD. It will if I manually set it. Not a big deal, but thought I should report. Thanks

    Hi Dave, I'm sorry to say that this topic is not closed. I started the simulator up but I could not board cargo on this occasion. Everything was fine, but there's a 'chip on my shoulder' thinking that the aircraft was not the correct weight. The worst thing is that when I landed, everything worked - when I used the keys needed to load cargo, it worked, the cargo amount went up from 0, which it wouldn't do from it's departure point. I wish there was a way for me to share my PC with you so you could see the problem better than I can describe it I'll continue to try and use the CARGO button in MCDU4, but so far is hasn't worked. GSX is a…

  25. I have noticed that when passing the transition level, the copilot pulls the Altimeter knob and it moves and STD is indicated in the window above the knob. However, the altimeter does not actually change until I use the mouse to pull the knob. On descent everything appears to be correct. version 1.2.4.6, however this has been occuring for a while now. Clean install performed at ver 1.2.3.5
