There is an even worse issue for all three, which makes me think its shared code, the autothrottle is broken is how I would describe it, this is using Thrustmaster TCA, on take-off it sets Flex detent fine, all goes well until 1500 ft and its time to drop to Climb thrust, no matter what I do it refuses to find it, this is NOT a calibration issue, in the calibration screen all detents are set. Furthermore, the hardware/config setup works flawlessly in Fenix and in Headwind. Also this seems to keep LNAV from enabling as well, so the plane is completely useless. It was like this in Beta and now it's the same in SU3 release, I am baffled about how MS/Inibuilds could pass beta testing, unless maybe they don't do any?? I was going to check on the A350... except its even worse, I can't even get it to power on at the gate... ROFL... I laugh until I cry 😞

On a related note, I don't have all the problems of the OP, but what IS very broken is the throttle control, after takeoff I'm in a Flex mode, but when prompted to climb thrust I drop back on my Thrustmaster to what SHOULD be climb, and it never see's it 😞 This also means that LNAV never kicks in apparently, so effectively its dead in the proverbial water. It's not my hardware, so is this likely to be SU3? Its a REAL hassle switching between Live and Beta thanks to the way they do things.... I'd just like to know if it will likely fix my problem, I want to fly cargo in the 330. Thanks

The premium version that I own is at 1.0.4, the marketplace version is later. So what's the deal, will we get this new version??

I was afraid of this 😞 Oh well, career mode is so broken in ways that have nothing to do with the chosen plane, ie ATC stupidity, airport selection, etc... that I probably couldn't stand it anyway... Thanks for the confirmation! Jack

With real airplanes you either fly with an instructor if, say, you are learning, as I did in a 172, or later on you need to get "type" rated which involves learning the plane, kinda like that thing simmers are so fond of, "study" aircraft, lol. In no case would you take to the skies not knowing where everything is 🙂

Before I buy this great looking aircraft I was hoping someone could tell me if it's actually available NOW in career mode missions? The PR is a bit vague and I realized it was possible that all they are saying is its "compatible" or "capable", I want to know if I buy it whether it will show up as usable? And, if not when? Thanks, Jack

Thanks Eddie, I'll check on this over the weekend 🙂

Ah, cool, thanks for pointing that out, I will install it, but I'd still like to see this in the manager, that way you know it's kept compatible.

The livery is quite pretty, and as it happens they are a partner to Delta, which is my VA, so I'd appreciate getting their colors. Pretty please? Jack

Either one of you aeronautical engineers, I know I'm not, so where do you get off with dogmatic assertions about what "should" be the behavior? I have a sim that predicts how much fuel is needed in a flight, and you know, that amount seems to work, I arrive at my destination. And I have a sim that predicts what TOD is, and when I descend there, and have the flight computer control it, you know what, I arrive at the IAF to my approach at the correct altitude. To this amatuer that means its working pretty well. I have no interest in further debate on the matter...

"Managed" descent means it is calcuating a veritical path, not that it is following some fixed throttle behavior, if you initiate descent early it will follow a shallower path, the small green dot on the altitude tape shows that it is above/below/on that path. Behavior has seemed correct in my flights.

Its you guys, the speed display works as does the autopilot... I've flown two long hauls in the last two days without issue. You both say you are taking the covers off but this SURE sounds like you haven't, are you absolutely sure?? These are the covers way up right on the nose right? If you don't get an update to the speed tape on the take-off roll, then that's why... Hope you solve it!

I'm pretty sure this has only started happening with 1.0.7 but am not sure, but in my last couple flights the plane wouldn't actually touch down for half the runway 😞 It's completely hands off so it's not like I am doing something different. Can Inibuild tell me if anything might have changed to cause this, or for that matter anyone else that can confirm they see it as well? My VA likes to "grade" landings and keeps severly dinging me on this 😞 Anything I can do to "fix" it perhaps?? Cheers guys, Jack

Plane just wasn't satisfied saying it only twice 🤣

I suggest you either study the manual, or go find one of the many videos on the boobtube and watch that, this is a VERY complex plane, if you wanted to jump into something on the runway, push the trottle and go you picked the wrong thing to fly. BTW, Beta is over, you should have the production version now, but I don't know that's your problem, I never had problems with Beta either. Maybe update the sim, and then uninstall/reinstall the plane from the Inibuild Manager. Good luck!
