Ed Brugel 0 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Anybody else getting this A.Floor lockup? Seems to happen at or around TOC Auto-Throttle locks and speed goes to 145 and plane just descends and crashes Using P3Dv5, haven't seen it in P3Dv4 Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When this occurs you should do the same thing as you would do in the actual aircraft (any automated aircraft) and revert to a less automated mode - in this case that would be a Selected Mode rather than Managed Mode, stablize the aircraft, and once stable try to return to the Managed Mode of operation. If the aircraft won't operate correctly in Managed Mode go back to Selected Mode again and wait for about 60nm to 100nm and try again. We haven't been able to work out exactly what causes this. In some cases we believe this is due to a temporary errant weather station providing wildly erroneous data and flying out of the weather station's area seems the only solution. Thankfully, your experiencing this issue should be very random. If you are ever able to reproduce each flight due let us know please as we're not able to do and that would help us researching this further. Best wishes!

Ed Brugel 0 Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 Hi Thanks for the explanation. Also, I've submitted several emails on the topic of the Right Aileron extending during the Flight Control part of the Checklist. If you do not notice it before takeoff, plane crashes. Only seems to be in P3Dv5. I now add another step to checklist: Move Yoke LEFT, the Move Yoke Right, That seems to put the right aileron back down, Thanks Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Brugel 0 Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 Hi One more question about the A.Floor. I'm unable to get the plane out of auto-throttle mode, so how do I get it back to Selected mode if I have no speed control? BTW this has been happening about every 3rd flight. I'll see if there is a common thread. Thanks Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveCT2003 2553 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Ed, Please see Volume 4, page 26. That should help my friend. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Brugel 0 Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 Hi Dave Well I've made several flight as follows: - Only P3Dv5, no add-on - 2 flights were fine - P3Dv5 + Pilot2ATC - several flights - 3 flights all was fine -P3dv5 + Pilot2ATC = ActiveSky(Beta) - 2 flights perfect, the 3rd flight A.FLOOR Turned ActiveSky off and after ~1 min A/THR blinked off and almost immediately A.FLOOR returned. Went to SELECTED MODE but no change. Then I realized that my Nose was way up, so turned AP off and Lowered Nose to level. Eventually, A.FLOOR went off and I was able to return to Managed Mode. Good learning experience, but I'll sure miss ActiveSky Weather Do you know if this happens with any other weather add-ons? Regards Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't get rid of ActiveSky, I don't believe that's the problem but rather the source of the issue. I still use ActiveSky and I haven't seen that issue in a very long time. What I recommend is if you get this issue, switch to Selected Mode (don't turn off ActiveSky), fly for a while and then try Managed mode again.

Anyways, I unfortunately also have the same problem with A318 as Ed in P3D v5... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piotr Morawski 0 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Seems to me the A318 is so authentic that even the failures are ;) Please let me know if You find another solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
