Crabby 28 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I flew from KCLT to KPHL with a Simbrief generated plan this time. AS weather. A320 CFM. Once again I got the managed speed issue during descent. This is three flights in a row with two aircraft from the series. I am actually excited about this because the issue seems to be confined to a particular phase of flight with 1.2.3.6. It has been called Alpha Floor mode in other posts, but today got me thinking. I was on descent and the behavior was as if the Approach Mode was somehow initiated. In fact, I left the speed alone, everything in managed mode and manually activated the Approach Mode and there was no change in behavior, again leading me to believe that something is automatically activating approach mode internally. Has this been explored? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabby 28 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 After the update, A321 seemed to engage Approach Mode by itself. In fact, MCDU did not even show me the option of Approach mode under Performance. A319 did not show this beahvior. I am flying another A321 flight now KSTL to KBOS and will report back if same issue appears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juanjo 3 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Every flight with v1.2.3.0 gave me issues … all of them. Today I have updated to v1.2.4.0 and the two flights I have done ( VVTS-VHHH and VHHH-ZSPD ) have been perfect … no issues …. both with A320 CFM and my own textures. Tomorrow I'll fly the A321 IAE Regards J J Gómez Prieto IVAO 142928 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miquelpp 27 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Yes, 1.2.4.0 works really well. I have been flying lot of flights with all models since wednesday and zero problems. Thanks Aerosoft for your great job. Best. Miquel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before that, I had inserted approach data in fmc without activating approach phase but it seemed as if the performance of the approach had been activated Almost 4 months later we are still there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies for any confusion. Operating System: Windows 10 Simulator version: P3D 4.5 Airbus version: A319 Professional - latest official version, clean install.Add-ons in use: Active Sky for P3D v4, ASCA, ENVTEX ENVSHADE, REX Environment Force.System specs: i7 7700k overclocked at 4.9ghz, RTX 2070 (not overclocked), DDR4 Ram 16 gb G Skill overclocked at 2800 mhz Description of the issue: Midway through cruise, engines always go on idle when on autothrottle. Engine levers were on CL. I tried to re-initialise, switched to autopilot 2, etc. No effect, as soon as I put the engine levers back to CL with auto throttle, the engines go back on idle. I do have an ignition message on EICAS. I tried switching the ignition switch, nothing. I tried opening the APU, would not start (only available). Are you able to reproduce the issue? If so, what are the exact steps you are taking for this issue to happen? First time this happens to me.

I realize you posted that you're using the latest version, but would you please go to the C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\Documents\Aerosoft\Aerosoft A318-A319 Professional folder on your computer and open the "Product.cfg" file and please let us know which version of the Airbus is stated there? The latest version is 1.2.4.0., and those who have had this issue are now letting us know that the issue appears to be corrected (though we are carefully monitoring this). Looking forward to hearing back from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabby 28 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 1.2.4.1 Has shown no managed speed issues using 319, 320 and 321. It does seem to be more "agressive" tracking during managed descent on an arrival, trying to play "catch" with the ball, snowflake, whatever the correct Airbus term is for the vertical profile indicator (litle green dot next to altitude tape).

This is coincident with what happened on the flight. It was possible to control the aircraft manually and take it in selected mode to a stable FL 270 with indicated 280 knt. The descent and approach have been in "selected" mode, landing at LEPP without problem.

DaveCT2003 2553 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 In the flights I've made, the descent profile has been very good, but like all aircraft in flight sim it could be a little better. We are planning to re-write the VNAV code in the future, once we have a few other, higher priority items completed. Let's keep in mind that VNAV is used more in flightsim more than in real life, znd VNAV on actual aircraft is often not perfect either, but we can improve it a bit with the bus. Best wishes!

It is not my case and I believe that the attached logfile proved it. The issue continues on study or should it be assumed that it has already been resolved?
