Time of TOD
Hi, On the ENRTE page in the FMC there is a distance to TOD which is correct but there's a time next to it and it shows current UTC instead of time of TOD.

Quick views
Hi, thank you for this lovely airplane but as is typical with IniBuilds' airplanes the quick views (not to be confused with custom views) are set wrongly in the airplane. Quick view left (Ctrl+left arrow on MSFS2020 transversal keyboard map OR joystick hat left switch) and quick view right (Ctrl+right arrow on MSFS2020 transversal keyboard map OR joystick hat right switch) should be simply set 90° left/right view from the captain seat as in other aircraft addons (then using the joystick hat switch makes sense). In the Beluga both views are kind of ok laterally but they're directed towards the sky (see the screenshots) and the reason for joystick hat switch views is to see the ground and vicinity of the aircraft during turns. Can that be fixed? Thank you!

In the A321LR they are incomprehensibly set to the cabin (see the screenshots). Can that be fixed? Thank you!

Skip preflight?
Ok, starting outside the airplane is their decision and I understand that you can't change that but it really can't be made on your side that chocks, pins and engine covers are removed from the EFB like in MSFS2020? Let alone that all displays do the 40s initialization when I get back to the cockpit again.

Skip preflight?
Yeah, it's annnoying that it can't be done from the EFB. Next time when flying IRL in an airliner I'm going to watch closely if the captain leaves the cockpit to remove chocks and pins himself! He can also clean toilets on his way back!

Joystick hat views
Hi, I don't know why IniBuilds guys struggle with this but it looks like no one from the test team has a joystick with a hat switch because those hat views are wrong again. I complained about that with the A300 and it was fixed (at least the passenger versions) and again it's set wrongly with the A320v2. Before any smart alec jumps in I would like to point out that custom views are not the same thing as the joystick hat views. I'm not going to sacrifice the precious custom views to this. Other developers do it right and it's quite simple: left hat switch = head turned 90 degrees to the left, right hat switch = head turned 90 degrees right, not 120 degrees looking at the wing from the F/O's position like it's now. There are two screenshots in the attachment, one is how it's set now and another one how it should be set. Another update for this aircraft will probably never come but please at least put it on your list of things to fix. Thank you!

Viewing Left and Right from the cockpit - Freighter version
Yes, you're right, Just Flight guys told me to do a similar thing for their F28 (they posted an edited cameras.cfg on their forum) before they fixed it once and for all in a following update. Problem is that we will need to do this copy procedure after every A300 update and things would just be easier if iniBuilds also fixed it for the freighter variants, not only for the passenger variants where joystick hat left/right views are set correctly.

Viewing Left and Right from the cockpit - Freighter version
+1 IniBuilds fixed the joystick hat side views for passenger versions (I have asked for that on this forum some time ago) but forgot to do that for the freighters. Joystick hat views are not the same thing as custom quickviews.

Simbrief not loading flight plan
Yes, took me a couple of hours of investigation and elimination but I'm glad I found it. See a few posts above. Definitely not expected, I had different suspects.

Simbrief not loading flight plan
It was 7.4.10. I updated to 7.4.11 today and A300 works normally with this version for me, I've just tested it. So for me problem solved for now.

Simbrief not loading flight plan
Ok, I've spent a couple of hours today trying to figure it out and I found a way that works for me... If I remove FSUIPC from exe.xml (programs started during MSFS loading) then FMC works fine, I can normally fill in FROM/TO at INI page for IRS align process and I can import Simbrief plan. If I put it back and FSUIPC starts with the MSFS then it doesn't work and does what I stated yesterday. It's a weird one, I know, but I've tried like three times with and without FSUIPC.

I'm not on SU15 beta. I never participate, just to avoid problems like these...

Simbrief not loading flight plan
This just doesn't work for me. I deleted the work folder, I completely uninstalled and reinstalled the aircraft from iniManager, made sure that all folders from Community are gone and still when I start a new flight the EFB remembers my settings, my Simbrief name and everything. I have no idea where the EFB is pulling that information from. On top of that I tried to switch to Ready for takeoff panel state, the EFB says panel state set but there's no change, the panel state stays in the current state. It looks like the EFB doesn't communicate with the aircraft.

Simbrief not loading flight plan
@Trevster I experience exactly the same. Everything was working just fine before 1.1.0. Simbrief import gives me empty boxes and manual typing FROM/TO does nothing. The ICAO codes just go to a black hole. I've been trying to figure this out for 3 hours now, deleting the work folder, restarting MSFS, trying PW passenger, PW freighter, base liveries and no success. It's driving me crazy.

EGLL will not be installed
+1. The same problem. Uninstalling and reinstalling EGLL, restarting iniManager and EGLL detected as not installed.

Camera positions on joystick hat switch views - Freighter version
You're repeating yourself, you informed me about that in my original post. I don't really care what you do, it's your call. I only nicely asked iniBuilds to fix this. They did for the passenger version, so it would be nice to have it changed in the freighter version which was omitted. Please, do me a favour and ignore my posts, I'm not addressing that to you.

Camera positions on joystick hat switch views - Freighter version
Hi, the camera positions for the joystick hat switches were fixed in the 1.0.3 but I've just noticed it was fixed only for the passenger version and the freighter version still has the views set too much to the rear, like trying to look at the wings. Can it be set left/right for the A300-600RF too? Thanks!

FMS blank after entering ZFWCG (v1.0.3)
Hi, well, I've tried to replicate that today but everything just worked fine. So it's a bit of a head-scratcher 🤔 Sorry for ringing the alarm, I'll keep my eyes open though 😉 Thanks for the awesome airplane.

ZFWCG
You enter MACZFW from the Weight & Balance into the FMS as ZFWCG.

FMS blank after entering ZFWCG (v1.0.3)
No, I've just tried to configure a different flight, from a different airport and everything went smoothly. Tomorrow I will try to replicate that previous flight when the error happened and will report back.

FMS blank after entering ZFWCG (v1.0.3)
Thanks for the reply. I always load the FPL into the EFB as one of the first things after starting a flight. However, I usually manually type in my airways/waypoints, so I don't use the flightplan import in FMS. So I fill in INI page 1 then I fill in SID, waypoints, STAR and then I go to INI page 2, fill fuel block, ZFW and when entering the ZFWCG from the EFB weight&balance page game over, blank FMS and restart the flight. It has never happened to me pre 1.0.3.

Camera positions on joystick hat switch views
Fixed in the 1.0.3. Thanks!

FMS blank after entering ZFWCG (v1.0.3)
Hi, my first flight with the 1.0.3 patch and entering ZFWCG 27.9 into the FMS causes the left FMS go blank and the right FMS + FCU displays frozen. Any ideas?

Camera positions on joystick hat switch views
Maybe but still, it's a simple request, I asked nicely and it would be great if iniBuilds set the views to the hat correspondingly to left/right views like other developers do.
