Hi, my first flight with v1.0.4, flying from Honolulu PHNL to Osaka RJBB. On this route there are two consecutive waypoints where one is on W latitude and second is on E longitude. The aircraft correctly continues to fly to the next waypoint (INS6 in my case) when reaching the last W longitude one (INS5) in INS lateral mode but the map can't deal with it. See the attached screenshot.

Yes it does need the AP. Says AP must be on in CMD and VNAV selected.

I worked around this problem by removing the chocks prior to removing the ground equipment as part of pushback prep, and releasing the brakes normally when GSX calls to release them. The remove-brakes-then-chocks solution didn't work. I think something triggers something when the chocks and brakes are both engaged but the airplane is in the air. IniBuilds should look into this -- the "rolling" sounds play when the nose is raised but the airplane has a GS of 0 and is still parked, which supports my theory perfectly -- for some reason the plane thinks it is taxiing when in fact it is not.

Me too-a A318 Baby Bus with that ini levels of system depth would makre my day!

Much clearer thanks. But it still doesn't indicate that engagement CWS or CMD is a requirement for it to work ! VNAV/IAS/MACH all work in conjunction with FD, regardless if CWS or CMD is engaged. Or to rephrase. PMS can feed FD with VNAV pitch commands. Even without CWS or CMD engage. Why would TM needs it ? (not trying to be pedantic, I just have never seen that design before and that makes me curious)

Well in this case for the Tristar, AOA, AT and TM are different functions in their own right. They are not the same as each other. TM is directly controlled by the PMS. For the PMS to be engaged you need to use CWS/CMD as per the above. Without the PMS engaged by using CWS/CMD then TM has no instruction.

What do you mean? Screenshots?

Occasionally I had spoilers deploy automatically after I had unbound the speedbrake and thrustreverse axis each, but only for once. I hadn't pushed the "armed" autobrake button, since I didn't know that was possible back then.

It would be great if we could see more realistic looking screens with reflections and a shiny look to it like the FBW A380, Fenix planes and your A340 Thanks and I'm sure many others would like to see this on the future!

Today's patch notes: "FIXED Engine smoke should start when fuel introduced, not on starter motor" Thanks! All these little details add up. 👍

The flight computer bugs out during long haul flights .How do I go about fixing this ?

Hi, Go ahead and put in the request as MKStudios will review the request with the uploaded proof that you submit alongside it. It is their product so it will ultimately final say will come through them. Thank you.

Happened to me today; I called GSX for pushback and departure, removed the GPU and chocks through the EFB, the plane started rolling forward uncontrollably. Tried restarting GSX, it refused to start again. Even couatl wasn't working. Tried the fix of selecting reverse push in the airplanes EFB, did not work. I even tried Slew Mode. After 5 minutes of watching the world go 'round, I had enough and quit the flight. @Kirkus I don't have pushback raise enabled, and it was a towbarless tug. But if this is the issue, then iniBuilds have to fix it. That is not a fix. That is a work-around. All my other airplanes work just fine without pushback raise enabled.

Yes, EVERY single addon. As I said, an addon don't has to be active or in use. It is sufficient if it is available in the community folder.

Hi, in the EFB, tick the setting off, the way it works is if you have FX Performance Mode On, then it will remove these FX. If you have it disabled or unticked/off. Then it will be enabled and you should see the effects. the threshold should be based on humidity btw

Try this recommended procedure If starting fuel quantity is less than 63,000 lbs: Feed tank-to-engine throughout flight. If starting fuel quantity is between 63,000 lbs and 116,000 lbs: Crossfeed all engines from tank 2 until fuel levels in all tanks are equal. Leave one tank pump operating in tank 1 and tank 3 while crossfeeding from tank 2. Monitor tank quantities to ensure that lateral balance remains within limits. Feed tank-to-engine for remainder of flight, especially when fuel remaining fuel quantity is less than 63,000 lbs. If starting fuel quantity is 116,000 lbs or greater: Crossfeed all engines from tanks 1 and 3 until total fuel remaining is 116,000 lbs. Crossfeed from tank 2 until tanks 1, 2, and 3 are equal. Leave one tank pump operating in tank 1 and tank 3 while crossfeeding from tank 2. Monitor tank quantities to ensure that lateral balance remains within limits. Feed tank-to-engine for remainder of flight, especially when fuel remaining fuel quantity is less than 63,000 lbs.

Not sure that helps my brain haha.. I'm still confused about when to go Tank to Engine.

Yes it has been resolved :), I did a flight to Quito from Madrid after patch day

Hello all, I am having trouble with the cabin annoucements. Sometimes I will hear one or the other but it seems a bit random. What are the triggers for all the FA annoucements, to make sure I hear them all ?

Thank you very much for sharing. However that document does not explicitly say that TM (as you claim) would not work unless CWS/CMD is engaged; instead it just gives you the normal procedure to get the full engagement of PMS VNAV functions. Which, obviously, needs CMD on since those functions need pitch slaving too. Not exactly the same thing! Since AoA mode is able to command your throttles without any AP mode engaged, I am really curious why, from a systems perspective, TM would need CWS or CMD. In every other aircraft I know, including old designs like our tristar (I have DC9 and Concorde in mind), they live separately. Pitch/Yaw(YD)/Roll autopilot actuators can be engaged or not (on those other aircraft) but it won't affect what the A/T is doing because is it a different set of wiring, power supply etc.

FWIW from what I've observed (with v1.0.3). My spoilers deploy fine on landing only if my autobrakes are actually armed too. When those autobrakes are not armed, the spoilers only deploy when I engage manual brakes.

@NickDAL I also get massive missing textures at EGLL, mainly inside T5 I've got no interior detail apart from random floating people that are sat on invisible seats, the Virgin Atlantic terminal is also missing interior detail like self check in consoles, T2 has got rows and rows of empty seats with nobody in them, but the screenshots show people filling the terminals. There's several overlapping aircrafts at gates, I've got two Concordes overlapping themselves. I've installed Inibuilds Manchester scenery and that does have all the interior details. I've tried several uninstalls and reinstalls, I've un-installed EGLL on MSFS20 to see if that cures it but it doesn't, it only appears to be happening on MSFS20 and MSFS24 and only EGLL.

One of the main things I would like to see in the A380 is good performance. As great as the FBW A380X is for a freeware, its performance is far heavier than any other aircraft in the sim, making me excited to buy one with playable performance at mega-hubs like Dubai, etc.

Hi, I confirm, FX Performance Mode is on in the EFB. I see nothing but the vortex of the inner engines during initial spool up. No condensation, KDFW (26/23/ 84% humidity), VHHH_29C over 23C).
