Dual engine shutdown in flight after an airport search in the EFB - not only in A340, also Fenix A320

Featured Replies

Hello,

I'm flying the A346 Pro (1.0.5) in MSFS 2024 in VR. In flight, both engines shut down after I searched for an airport in the native Microsoft EFB (typing an ICAO code and selecting the result). I've also opened a helpdesk ticket about this.

The same trigger causes a dual engine shutdown in the Fenix A320 (there on the Landing Distance page of its own EFB), so I suspect the cause is on the simulator side. More details on the MSFS DevSupport forum: https://devsupport.flightsimulator.com/t/native-efb-bug-focus-input-field-unfocus-input-field-now-linked-to-full-engine-shutdown-rat-deployment-in-payware-aircraft/18572

The first video (A340) shows the controls freezing after the same search in this aircraft. I don't have a recording of the engine shutdown itself yet. The second video is from the Fenix A320, after an airport search in the EFB (there you can see the shutdown very well).

Has anyone else seen this? If so, it would help to know:

  1. Did you type the ICAO with a physical keyboard, or with the mouse / on-screen keyboard?

  2. Which EFB did you use: the Microsoft EFB or the aircraft's own tablet?

I'm not a programmer; I analysed this with AI assistance, but all observations are from my own flights.
