[Troubles on departure]

Hello Popcorn,

I have asked about the fuel flow problem your seeing.

Hello Shaun

Who cares about fuel flow, if the aircracf is completely uncontrollable?

Please reply.

[Manual flying problems]

So, for now at least, I can only suggest that users enjoy the AirbusX for what it is and despite a slightly annoying pitch issue with the flight model, it is at the end of the day a very, very nice add-on I think.

Airbus X isn't a bit enjoyable to fly, actually it is completely uncontrollable. Pitch and thrust model is very bad simulated.

If the AP could add up for the manual flying bugs, this could be a mediocre product. But the AP is a joke.

Airbus X is disaster - actually i prefer to fly the Microsoft A320...........

[Airbus X Autothrottle]

In the real one it is disconnected either via setting the thrustlevers to idle or using one of the quick disconnect buttons. I personally prefer it to retard them because you have a better feeling of how much thrust is necessary, but everyone has a different taste.

Airbus X Auto Thrust have one major flaw compared to the real Airbus.

When A/THR is active on the real Airbus, thrust is limited to Thrust Lever position.

In other words, the pilot is able to limit A/THR by adjusting thrust levers, from CL to IDLE detent range.

This could be usefull during descent, Airbus X A/THR is way to high, idle is never reached......

In the autothrust mode (A/THR function active), the FMGC computes the thrust, which is limited to the value corresponding to the thrust lever position (unless the alpha-floor mode is activated).

[Auto Flight FD/AP modes]

The Flight Directors, pitch and roll bar, does not work correct in AirbusX, when Auto Flight is in FD mode only (AP not engaged and FD selected on FCU).

Normal operation of FD bars is to guide the pilot to follow pitch and roll bars, based upon selected FD modes - NAV, HDG SEL, ALT ect.

When performing a take off the FD bars does not corospond to active Autoflight mode or mode change eg. from TO made to NAV.

When disengaging AP during approach the FD bars iscompletely removed from PFD, normally when disengaging AP the FD mode remains active for pilot guidance.

Please fix this bug in next upgrade.
