On the FCTL page the trim is shown in units, on the PFD it's is shown in "percentage mean aerodynamic chord" I think. All in all, they both work out to be the same thing. Some companies that operate the A320 family for example, prefer to set trim using the percent method, because it eliminates incorrect trim setting errors. For example, you may accidentally set the trim 1.5 units down instead of 1.5 units UP. So using the percentage prevents that kind of error.

I was having problems getting the D-ATIS to work. Everytime I go to ATC COM - D-ATIS, it pulls the metar for the airport. However if I set the drop down box from DEP or ARR, to NONE then I can get the ATIS if there is one available on VATSIM. Would be nice if it were the other way around, where selecting DEP or ARR would pull the departure or arrival ATIS if those are in use on VATSIM, and if you want just the metar then set the drop down to NONE.

I think it is used to view the other side OIS. Useful if you want to make sure the FO put in the correct info for takeoff calculations or to see what charts they're looking at.

Appreciate getting the 1.0.3 update out to us, it's working great! I would just like to report a couple minor bugs 1. When set to LBS, the landing weight on the APP page has a T next to it instead of LBS 2. The apu fuel used still shows quantity in KG on the APU page. 3. If there is NONE as alternate in simbrief, when importing flight plan, the MCDU give an airport not in database Message.

Oh I'm sorry I dunno. I haven't had the chance to check. Only did one flight so far.

Also they are crazy loud for me for some reason, would appreciate the option to adjust the volume.

Well, a lot of people, myself included started having problems after installing the 1.0.2 update. Most commonly, displays freezing randomly.

Hi. I don't know what kind of policy you guys have on releasing updates, if you plan on releasing them weekly or what, but I completely understand not working on the weekend. However in the future maybe you guys can consider releasing updates on a Wednesday or Thursday instead of Fridays. That way if the update breaks anything (like it has broken the plane now) you can release a quick emergency hot fix before the weekend. I dunno though. Anyway I greatly appreciate the work you guys have done and I'm looking forward to seeing this product improve as more things get added and can't wait to see what you have planned next.

Switch viewpoints? You can tell the parking brake is on or off by looking at the PFD though.

Oh, you mean you want to hear the gear coming down while in the cabin?

Yes, what 559AS said. When Singapore did that route with the A340-600, I believe they used an all business class configuration so the passenger load was much less than a standard configuration A346. I was able to plan that route successfully in simbrief by dropping the passenger load down to 100ish. Also it's possible Singapore Airlines also has an exception or something, to use different enroute reserve fuel planning, which allows them to legally take less reserves for the enroute portion.

Which variant, the 900 or 1000? I did one 9 hour flight with the 900 so far using the simbrief profile without any adjustment and I was using less fuel than planned. By the time I was at top of descent I was up by almost 5000lbs. Did you enter the step climbs and winds into the FMS?

I use trackir and I find that any slight movement of my head when I'm looking at the FMS makes the curse unable to click. The solution for me is to remain extremely still, or more easily, I have a button to pause my trackir and freeze the camera in place and then it works. But I think it's the movement that causes issues.

Okay found it. You can see the indicated airspeed kinda hanging out below target at 44:36 and 45:21. Again it might still be a bug for the inibuilds, or maybe an unintentional realistic behaviour. The real thing does very slowly adjust pitch to catch back up to the target but it's not perfect .

Probably is a bug, but remember the real things aren't perfectly flawless either. They experience weirdness every now and then, even the brand new stuff. If I can find that video where they were climbing and the IAS was 5ish knots below the target speed on YouTube again I will send it to you if you don't mind
