    I am getting a bit frustrated cause this was logged for 3 months without any patch issued to address it and i ended up having to eyeball a self DIY fix on the contact points.

    A300-600P climb rate V.1.0.4 ?

    There is really no "normal" CI used in any aircraft. CI change very often and in real life, even when the release give you a CI (the "release" is the real name given to the equivalent of simbrief FPL), it is not very often used. Most of the time the capt is using whatever CI is more convenient for the flight or to him (is the flight late, is it a go-home day, is he flying a super-critical line (ie: making more money for him), etc.), sometime we don't even use CI at all, but either FLC or VS with speed/Mach. At least that's what we do in real life in US (same for Airbus or Boeing).

    MSFS A300 pax gsx profile wrong

    Just to be sure you're using the right GSX profile, you can remove the GSX that is currently in your virtuali folder and get the one from the A300R folder and put it in the virtuali folder instead. Give it a try, maybe that's your problem as on my side the pax profile work fine.

    Brake temp increase despite of fans activated + 0 spd

    Are you using MAX braking ? that might be why. This mode is used almost only in emergency and will heat up the brakes really fast and when the brakes are heating up, they are not easy to stop heating and cooling down...

    If that's the case, use always the lowest autobrake settings you can use, depending on the runway length or course. Normally with this kind of plane you should use LOW most of the time and MED only when short and/or contaminated runway or reversers INOP/MEL.

    Let me know if that was your problem...

    Also, please consider slowing down the cargo door animations - too fast, too unrealistic.

    Rudder steering on ground not working correctly

    in Systems

    Posted

    Yes, bluefly330 is correct, you should have 6 deg authority with the rudder only, right now you have no steering at all from the rudder. However the tiller is working just fine. It would be good indeed to have this 6 deg back as (in real life) it's very common to steer the plane with rudder on the ground when on straight line (making small adjustement) rather than using the tiller. On my plane the rudder authority is 5 deg and the tiller angle is 71 deg. Both of them are adding up which give you a total of 76 deg authority when using both full tiller deflection and full rudder deflection. I guess (but I might be wrong though) that it should be more or less the same with the A300...

    MAC: Mean Aerodynamic Chord (the average wing chord). To make it very simple, it's like the COG (Center Of Gravity) but reported in reference of the mean wing chord instead of the fuselage in reference to the firewall for light aircraft. I'm just making it very basic here.

    Maintenance effects

    15 min seems to be accurate to me.

    In real life: Deboard and install ladder from truck, check first engine and add oil if needed, then switch side with lader, check/refill second engine, restow the ladder, go into the flight deck, get the aircraft log and record oil added, give back the aircraft log to the crew, get back to the truck. Take around 15 min to complete.

    Now, I agree that it could be great to have an option to either "finish now" or accelerate the process for those who are in a hurry to fly...
