Managed speed issues

[Flightradar 3]

Has Aerosoft stopped supporting P3D planes that still have major issues that we paid good money for? Appears only replying to MSFS topics??.....

Hi guys, I hope this helps you:  I have experienced this issue, mostly on turnaround flights (without quitting and restarting prepar3d).  I have managed to fix it by selecting hdg and then back to nav (pull/push heading knob)

 

Hey Guys, 

 

For those of you who are still experiencing problems with the managed speed drop between the entire Airbus Professional family, I just tried this and it worked! It was while in cruise phase. It's a temporary fix but it seems to do the trick for now. Only problem is that if you're away from the computer and it's left on Autopilot, it would stall itself out before you ever got back or knew about it. I've attached screenshots of my speed drop issue when in managed mode.

 

@AEROSOFT As a reasonable question, why has support on P3D V5 products seemingly ended/super slow? I understand the focus on MSFS right now, however customers put a good amount of faith (and money) when getting addons under the premise major bugs may be fixed. I would be okay with no new features, however I think continual updates to improve product stability/fix major bugs is important. 

 

I've purchased the Airbus X Extended, Airbus X, and now the Airbus Professional family. I've also purchased the CRJ lines and some of your airports through the years, so I can't help but feel a little hurt at the lack of support for your existing P3D products, the second MSFS came out. I know this might not change anything, but I'm certain myself and many others would greatly appreciate a major stability update for the Airbus Professional family to resolve at least the major outstanding issues. 

 

Thanks for your time

That is not correct, we used a 14 months switch over period and released 21 updates for P3D after MSFS was released.  At this moment these product are however no longer updated.  Sorry, just not financially feasible.

Hi Mathijs or @AEROSOFT

 

Thanks for your reply and correction. I’d like to clarify one thing I said as well. 
 

I do not think most of us want new product updates or features, but rather bug fixes to existing issues in the current version. 

As you may assume, most people would pay for a product they assume does not have major issue such as managed speed mode in an Airbus dropping to VApp speed mid climb/cruise. Small bugs I can certainly understand that you can never fully resolve, but I think this is a major one that affects functionally of flying from point A to B. Earlier in this thread Aerosoft was seemingly working on a fix, only to have further efforts halted.

 

In terms of financial feasibility, are the cost of stability updates not built into the price of the offered product? I’m certain that revenue from MSFS alone would sustain the cost to fix a major bug with a parallel product line. 
 

I’ve always known Aerosoft to be a company with a solid reputation and releasing products that are very stable, so I was surprised when this was missed for the entire P3D Airbus professional line. 
 

Nonetheless, all I would like to request is a stability hotfix to resolve the managed speed bug that many users experienced (17 pages worth). I have no request for an update or new features/development. Simply a stable product that can fly from A to B as advertised would be excellent. 
 

Customers like myself have supported Aerosoft for many years and bought entire airports or product lines with our trust in the company, so I hope that a hotfix for a major bug is not too much to ask for. 
 

As always, thanks for taking the time to read this, I sincerely hope that you take my request into consideration for all P3D Airbus customers affected.

Hi I've got a issue with the managed speed descend no problem get near or on ILS instead of speed reducing to landing speed it rises to over 300knots speed brake has no affect or does manual speed in the A320/321/and a330 any solutions or help would be appreciated Thanks

Are you sure you are in the correct mode?

That speedbrakes have no effect is seriously weird.

[haulier51 4]

i tried coming into EGPH so as it's a tight turn in i used manual heading to give myself more time for ils approach, I manually turned on to ils path glide slope came down before ils was intercepted so was to high then speed shot up to 300knots went around to try again put speed brakes out to slow down no effect A320 proffetional p3dv5

But if the speedbrake do not slow the aircraft down, there is something totally wrong. I suggest a clean install.

[haulier51 4]

Thanks for reply i think i've solved it now the speeds in the mcdu were dropping to fast so i input the speeds manually now and that works
