With the latest Microsoft Flight Simulator Beta Beta Programme update for the A310 (sim version 1.29.30), there has been a change to where flightplan files are placed. 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: Steam: C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\microsoft-aircraft-a310-300\work\flightplans MS Store: C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\packages\microsoft-aircraft-a310-300\work\flightplans

If your A310 is not following the flight path correctly, please check your MSFS Assistance settings and ensure that the 4 options circled in red below are switched to OFF.

Firstly you must establish if you use reverse thrust on an axis or not. 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 have a comprehensive, in-sim checklist which will take you from cold & dark, to post-flight on the blocks. We also have an in-depth manual available alongside tutorial videos available on YouTube. https://inib.uk/Discover-The-A310-Playlist

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

Update - 15/11/2022: 12:30z 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.

The nav select three-way switch must be set to VOR to enable manual VOR navigation.

The nav select switch three-way switch below the FD/FPV switch must be set to ILS for ILS diamonds to show.

Ensure your gear handle is in the neutral position.

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.

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.

CPDLC is not currently supported in the Microsoft Flight Simulator rendition of the A310; You can however, route recall via SimBrief. 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 pl…

Not planned at this time.

To allow for a seamless experience on all platforms, there is a further step one must do to get the enhanced features (4K textures, cabin, dynamic cabin screens). 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.

The A310-304 in passenger configuration with the GE CF6 engines. 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.
