boussieres 0 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 On the A330, the autoland does not work (very useful in foggy weather). Let me explain: during the approach, the autopilot and appr are active, the localizer and the glide are captured, but the aircraft does not follow the descent slope. On the same approach on the A320, everything works. I tried on other approaches, the result is identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted December 30, 2019 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted December 30, 2019 Can not replicate this. Have you engaged both APs? On what version of the A330 are you? Which exact version of P3Dv4 are you using. Please post the version number of the prepar3d.exe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted December 30, 2019 Aerosoft Share Posted December 30, 2019 Make sure both the sim and the A330 is fully up to date, in not updated versions that is a known issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted December 30, 2019 Aerosoft Share Posted December 30, 2019 Okay that's perfect so not the issue. Â So far we have not heard this from anybody else so we have to ask. Are you 100% sure you activated the right mode? Can you make a screenshot when you try to capture the ILS?

boussieres 0 Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 I specify that I have the messages that everything is good (localizer + glide captured) + vertical and horizontal diamond on pannel. The plane simply does not descend on the slope. next flight tonight, I'll take a screenshot. Thank you for your answers. ap2 was also active Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boussieres 0 Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 does this mean that i have to checklist manually? I do not understand what you mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveCT2003 2553 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Just now, boussieres said: does this mean that i have to checklist manually? I do not understand what you mean.   I'm asking if you would perform the same Autoland at the same airport as before when you had the issue, only this time completely disable the Copilot and Checklist... meaning you'll have to operate the aircraft yourself. I would not call the "manual", it's just normal. If you're not yet ready to do this, then I completely understand.  Remember of course that our Copilot and checklist functions are merely there to help you learn how to operate the aircraft. We intend that after a several times of using the Copilot and Checklist functions that you would be able to operate the aircraft without them. After all, such systems do not exist in the actual aircraft.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted December 30, 2019 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted December 30, 2019 Did a flight yesterday with rev 1.0.0.5 with Copilot and checklist and Autoland performed extremly well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boussieres 0 Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 I'm just starting out, I'm not ready to do without the automatic checklist yet. But it is clear that I will have to invest in this subject. But there, it will ask me a little time ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there, it will ask me a little time ...  That is completely understandable.  Since Otto has not had any trouble with Autoland while using the Copilot/Checklist then it's likely just a learning curve thing.  Best wishes my friend, and Happy New Year!  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
