JoseReis 0 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Hello guys, First of all, congratulations!! I am really a fan of FSLabs A320, but I have to say you make it! A330 is really a good product. It is far from AS A320. But, at my first flight I had a really annoying bug: the A330 maintained for a while the cruise level, but after some time the AP deviated the nose pitch up and down a lot of times with variations above 1000 feet from the planned FL, and unfortunately the overspeed was called one the cockpit and, of course, master warning was enabled. So, I followed the protocol for AP incoherences during high level flights from Airbus: disabled AP1, disable AT and maintained the nose pitch with some amount of thrust to reach stable flight. It was all ok until now. The plane became controlable. Then I switch ON the AT and then AP1. All switches of SPEED and ALT were in MANAGED MODE. Some minutes after......again the same problem. My A330 didn't follow the vertical profile as it was on CRUISE PAGE on FMS. On the Airbus checklist and on the FSLabs A320, after those actions above made, the AP would must act as it was for. But.....A330 didn't. So, I turned off P3D, reseted my computer and did the same flight, but without Active Sky and with CLEAR SKY with no turbulence.....So the A330 performed the flight correctly for about 30 min on the cruise level...then I stoped the flight. Then I've change the weather to Active Sky in real world conditions......and the problem came out again!! So.......probably this is how A330 AP's calculate the wind effect on the plane. Please, verify this issue cause I can't fly in real world whether conditions either with Active Sky or other selection except CLEAR SKIES. And.....of course......my P3D is 4.5 and all drivers were updated! No problem with no other add-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Herman 1591 Posted December 11, 2019 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted December 11, 2019 As the title of the section where you first posted states "General chatter (NO SUPPORT)", this is better placed in the appropriate dedicated support area. I moved it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Secondator 643 Posted December 11, 2019 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted December 11, 2019 What was the commanded speed by autopilot on PFD when this happened? Are you able to recreate this issue? If so please enable logging through our configurator and zip the Data folder and post it here after a flight where this issue happens again.

JoseReis 0 Posted December 12, 2019 Author Share Posted December 12, 2019 Hello, the AP doesn't follow any commands on the FMS or MCP. Total failure. I'll recreate the situation today and will see if it happens again. I'll enable log on configurator to show you guys to found a solution. Thank you very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Spel 0 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I'm seeing something similar with the A330, I added the test file that was published today to resolve the hand flying final approach issue and enroute twice I had violent pitch up's accompanied by an AP disconnect, in one of these events the airplane climbed 3000 feet and would not respond to my pushover on the controls with AP disconnected and the captain voice kept saying "lights" as if we were transitioning through 10,000 feet.

JoseReis 0 Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share Posted December 13, 2019 Today I did the same flight....but I've updated the Active Sky to the last version as well as I've used the Aerosoft A330's FuelPlanner to set up the CG and balance the aircraft. So....I don't know what happened....but no problem was noticed. The AP behave as it was planned for. I did a flight at about 1:32h total length and it was perfect. And....I've crossed high top storms and just the common turbulence and pitch variations was noticed...but between the normal range and prompt corrected by AP. The last test I'll perform tomorrow on a long haul flight.... transatlantic flight. After that....I'll post here. But.....I think it was a problem related to ActiveSky or aircraft fuel and weight balance. Who knows. To the people who are having the same problem I had..... Before flying.... balance the aircraft through Aerosoft A330's fuel and payload tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon3069 0 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I have a slightly different problem during cruise in the A330. If my aircraft is going through turbulence or thunderstorm clouds and the wind direction changes the throttles increase and the mach speed increases until it overspeeds to around mach 0.86. I resolve it by switching the autothrottle switch off and immediately back on again. The throttles decrease and go back to its proper mach speed. Any one get this and how do I correct it? I use Active Sky version 7208 (latest) but can't see any options that would affect this, so any help welcomed. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james28 1 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Yes the A330 or A320 Professionals for that matter don't like Active Sky turbulence. I have mine set to a reasonable level that still creates some turbulence for the aircraft and the aircraft is able to handle it. I use AS for P3DV4, and use mostly the default settings, but change the following (in Options): Maximum Cloud Turbulence = 30 Maximum Wind Turbulence = 30 Turbulence Effect Scale = 20 Maximum Wind Shear = 30 Realistic Thunderstorm Up and Downdraft = deselected This works for me and keeps the aircraft relatively stable, while still providing some level of turbulence when flying through poor weather. It may not be to everyones liking, and please if you have any other settings that provide a more realistic affect then please provide, as I do think I've tuned AS down to soft.

DaveCT2003 2553 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Hey guys, I apologize, but I wasn't aware of this thread! We've been having the same conversation in another thread, and I've shown some videos that you may find helpful. I also posted a complete ActiveSky config file that you can try, which has some of the changes similar to what @james28 posted. The thread is below. May I suggest we move the conversation there so we're all on the same page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
