Close the simulator if it is running. Navigate to your your FS24 WASM Folder: Steam: MS Store: Delete the 'microsoft-aircraft-a400m' folder. This folder and its contents will be re-generated next time you load into a flight with the aircraft. Note: This will reset your EFB Throttle Calibration and EFB Settings so they should re-done the next time you load into the aircraft.

If you're experiencing issues with streamed packages, please follow the below steps to force a re-download of the affected files: Close the simulator. Navigate to the affected aircraft's "Streamed Packages" folder: Steam: MS Store: Delete the folder itself. Restart the sim. The deleted files will be re-streamed from the servers.

If you're experiencing issue of missing sounds (complete or partial) on the streamed packages, please follow the below steps to force a re-download of the affected files: Close the simulator. Navigate to the affected aircraft's "Streamed Packages" folder: Steam: MS Store: Delete all the files in this folder. Restart the sim. The deleted files will be re-streamed from the servers.

Throttle Calibration Calibrating your throttle correctly is key to achieving smooth control in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, especially when flying advanced aircraft like the Airbus. The calibration process is managed entirely within the Aircraft Electronic Flight Bag (EFB), and here we provide a step-by-step guide for setting up your throttle axis. General Calibration Steps: Reverse on Axis: If your throttle hardware does not have a reverse axis, make sure to select NO in the "Reverse on Axis" option on the EFB. If your hardware has a reverse axis, select YES to calibrate the reverse detents. Green Bar: This bar represents the current position of …

The A400M utilises a combination of the Radio Management Panel (RMP), MFD NAVAIDS page and TCAS Control Panel in order to manage VHF Communications (COMM), Navigation Radios (NAV) and Transponder (XPDR/IFF) respectively. COMM Frequencies Management (RMP & ACP) The RMP is located on the glareshield on both the CAPT/FO sides. It is primarily used to control COMM frequencies and set XPDR code. To dial a frequency, use the keyboard to (5) to type the desired frequency (e.g 122.800 can be entered as 122800) into the scratchpad (6). Entry into STBY field: The typed frequency can be entered to STBY COM1 (V/U1) field by clicking LSK U2 …

The A400M has an Electronic Checklist accessible by pressing the NORM button (1) on the ECAM Control Panel. It will be displayed in the lower half of the E/WD. Using the Pedestal Joystick (2) you can scroll up or down to select a different checklist or checklist item. When the required item has been highlighted, press the ECAM Check button (3) to access the checklist. Items that require manual intervention are preceded by a tick box (▯), press the ECAM Check button to proceed to the next item. Some items can be automatically detected by the aircraft (for example the seat belts). The line will change from blue to green when the switch is detecte…

The Flight Management Guidance and Envelope System (FMGES) provides predictions of flight time, mileage, speed, economy profiles, and altitude. It reduces cockpit workload, improves efficiency, and eliminates many routine operations generally performed by the flight crew. The pilots use the two MFDs to enter or modify data required by the FMGES via the KCCUs. Keyboard Cursor and Control Unit (KCCU) The KCCU is used to enter and modify data via the keyboard and various buttons (1 to 5). MFD pages can be accessed directly as well by pressing any of the MFD shortcut keys (6 to 13). 1. Keyboard 2. Backspace …

Hydraulic pressure in the Blue Hydraulic System is required in order to open and close the Main Cargo Door. It can be controlled via the EFB Ground Page or the dedicated 3-way switch on the aft center pedestal. EFB Control Door Control is available on the EFB Ground Page. If the pressure is insufficient you will receive the following error on the EFB when trying to operate the door: In order to pressurise the Blue Hydraulic System you must look at the aft area of the overhead panel. Open the guard of the BLUE ELEC PUMP push button and turn it ON. The door will now operate. Once the door is open (or closed), turn the BLUE ELEC PUM…

Your planned SimBrief flightplan may be imported directly into the MCDU via the ACTIVE/INIT page*. Click on INIT button, then click the INIT REQUEST* on-screen button for the flight plan import. You will receive an AOC RTE UPLINK message in the scratchpad if this is successful. You will still need to fill in the FUEL & LOAD page and select your SID/STAR/APPROACH via the F-PLN page manually. *Note: This feature only works after you have entered your Simbrief Pilot ID on the Options page. Your Pilot ID is found on the 'Account Settings' page on Simbrief. Options Page - Ensure your Simbrief Pilot ID (2) is entered in the EFB Options tab (1). …

In MSFS 2024, 'Preflight' is the first phase of a flight when you start "cold and dark" from a parking spot / ramp. Your pilot character spawns close to the currently selected aircraft, and it is possible to walk around and check the condition of different parts (indicated with a blue pin in the UI). The following parts can be inspected / removed: Wheel Chocks Nose Gear Wheel & Strut Main Gear Wheels Elevator Rudder You may exit the pre-flight walkaround at any time by clicking on the door handle or using the user-defined key bind for 'TAKE CONTROL OF CHARACTER' (Default: Shift+C). Control Settings - Keybind for Entering/Exi…

This is normally done using the tiller located on the side console. The tiller can be controlled via the 'NOSE WHEEL STEERING AXIS' binding. For simulation purposes, this can also be linked to the rudder pedals for easier use. To do this, go to the aircraft EFB 'Options' tab, then select 'YES' for the 'REALISTIC NOSE WHEEL STEERING' option. Additionally, for sharper turns, enable the U-TURN button on the center pedestal to increase the nosewheel steering limit to 90 degrees.

There is an Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) located on either side of the cockpit (Captain and First Officer) which is intrinsically linked to the aircraft Flight Management System (FMS). It is also linked to some core simulator functions like setting your desired fuel and payload. Simply click the Menu buttons at the bottom to navigate the pages. Fuel & Payload Page – This page allows you to set the fuel and load on the aircraft and apply it to the FMS. You can set your fuel and payload manually using the sliders or typing in the values into the text boxes. Alternatively, the 'Download SimBrief' icon* allows you to import your planned fuel and payloa…

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

The Audio Control Panel(ACP), located next to the PFD, is used to control communications. V/U 1 is used for com1, and V/U 2 for com2. To speak with the ATC, you need to select (press in) the appropriate transmission key (1). When pressed, the associated channel is selected for transmission and green lines display. The pilot can deselect the channel by pressing the push button again, or by selecting another channel.
