We will be updating the iniManager very soon to resolve this issue.

For the time being, SimBrief flight plan files can be placed manually into:

If no, ensure this is set to NO on the EFB and calibrate as per the instructions on the calibration menu. Reload the plane to ensure this change is made properly, and you will be able to bind reverse thrust to a button / input on your hardware.

If yes, and you do intend on using reverse thrust on an axis, ensure you set this to YES, and calibrate as per the instructions on the calibration menu.

Reload the plane to ensure this change is made properly, and you will be able to use your reverse on an axis with your hardware.

We also have an in-depth manual available alongside tutorial videos available on YouTube. https://inib.uk/Discover-The-A310-Playlist

Please do not use the Microsoft Flight Simulator weight and balance menu – this will have no impact, and may cause issues with your flight.

For the time being, if you're experiencing crashes while entering the FROM/TO pair, please remove the "navigraph-navdata" and "navigraph-navdata-base" folders, as well as any custom airports that cause a crash in the citypair input.

---------------------

If you’re using Navigraph navdata, please ensure it is up to date. If you’re not using Navigraph, please post in more details over on the right support section.

]]>5965Thu, 10 Nov 2022 23:58:44 +0000I’ve reached TOD, now what?https://forum.inibuilds.com/topic/5964-i%E2%80%99ve-reached-tod-now-what/ Pull the Altitude knob shortly prior to reaching TOD to arm auto PROF descent to selected altitude. PROF MUST be active when doing so, or you will begin descent immediately with LVL.CHG.

]]>5964Thu, 10 Nov 2022 23:58:22 +0000I had PROF engaged in the climb; but it busted right through altitude restrictions on the SID!https://forum.inibuilds.com/topic/5962-i-had-prof-engaged-in-the-climb-but-it-busted-right-through-altitude-restrictions-on-the-sid/ As per the real aircraft, PROF does not respect alt constraints in the climb. It does, however, on the descent. However this is very rudimentary in this aircraft and is not always accurate – as per the real aircraft. You must be on top of the plane, and be sure to intervene as and when needed.

This can be done by typing your username in the FMS. If you have a more unique username you must enter this in a file (simbrief.ini) file rather than the plane (such as if you have an _ in your name). This is located here:

Steam: C:\Users\yournamehere\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\microsoft-aircraft-a310-300\work

MS Store Users C:\Users\yournamehere\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\packages\microsoft-aircraft-a310-300\work

If you do not see a ‘simbrief.ini’ file please drop this file in the location above.

Please note the weather request is experimental and may impact flight if there is a certain type of atis response. This may be removed in the next update.

Please go to the Marketplace section, and download the A310-Enhanced. This will install some additional files in addition to the base version for PC users. Restart Sim.

This is different to our A310-308 version in X-Plane. The key difference is the -304 has less thrust. We elected to do this variant as it’s the most common.
