To steer the A220 effectively, first ensure NOSE STEER is turned ON using the button directly under the gear lever. Use your rudder pedals for gentle corrections and straight taxiing, and switch to the tiller-only inputs for sharp turns. When rudder pedals and steering tiller are moved simultaneously, the max deflection is limited to the 9° left / right only. For tiller-only inputs, press the PEDAL DISCONNECT button on the tiller to boost your turning gain for maximum steering angle. The steering tiller commands the nosewheel up to 80° left / right.

Use the link below to see an index of all simulator variables (L-Vars and H-Events) and input events that the A220 reads and writes, organized by system. These can be used to read and modify the aircraft state's using external applications.

There is an Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) located on both the left and right-side consoles on the A220. EFB Controls MenuPower Off EFB: Click anywhere on the screen to turn back on Lock EFB: Return to Lockscreen Screen Brightness Slider: Adjust brightness of EFB screens Display Mode: Set a DARK or LIGHT theme on the EFB UI Panel States: Select any state to set aircraft systems accordingly Note: Click anywhere on the screen to exit the menu. SettingsSetting menu selector and Version Indicator Settings menu display. Aircraft Settings Weight Units: choose between Metric (KG) and Imperial (LBS) units for Aircraft Systems and EFB. IRS Align Time: choose between Realistic, Fast (60s) and Instant IRS alignment on first power up. Auto GPU Disconnect: automatically disconnects the GPU and Chocks whenever beacon lights are turned on. External VFX: hide any external condensation visual effects for extra performance. Pause at Top of Descent: automatically pauses the sim at the set distance prior to the FMS computed Top of Descent (TOD). SATCOM: toggles the option Satellite Communications equipment on the exterior of the aircraft Cabin Lighting: Allows you to set manual or automatic control of cabin lighting based on time of day. AP/AT Discon Protection: inhibits the automatic disconnection of Autopilot and Autothrust based on excessive turbulence or control inputs. Time Compression: selects the desired simulation rate (upto 4x) OVHD Light Switches Config: chooses whether the switches on the overhead panel should be moved upwards (UP ON) or downwards (DOWN ON) to illuminate the selected exterior light. Weathering: Set desired exterior visual weathering level. EFB Settings On-Screen Keyboard: enables a virtual keyboard when clicking on any data entry fields. Entry Mode Keybind: Set the keybind to toggle Entry Mode Entry Mode allows you to your physical keyboard for data entry into the FMS. Press the same key again to exit Entry Mode Note: While in “Entry Mode” all other control inputs to the sim are disabled. Exit entry mode to resume functionality. Audio Settings Noise Cancellation: to simulate usage of headphones that filter out certain engine and environment sounds, Sliders: To control volume levels of Engine, Environment and Rattle sounds. Callout Settings Select which altitude callouts you want to hear during approach and landing. 3rd Party Settings Streamer Mode: hides your Simbrief ID on the EFB Navdata Source: choose the navigation database used by the FMS Sim Default uses the simulator-provided data updated regularly. Navigraph uses the last installed data that requires an active Navigraph subscription to update. Note: Updates are done via the FMS Maintenance Data Load Menu, which is explained further in the next section. Use Navigraph Charts: toggle between LIDO and Navigraph Charts (MSFS24 Only)

The Synaptic A220 Navigation Display (ND) supports a highly detailed terrain map overlay that accurately simulates the various rendering behaviours of the real unit. This relies on data injection from a separate map-server app running alongside the sim. App InstallationFollow the instructions at https://docs.synapticsim.com/pilots/map-server to install the map server. Enabling Terrain Overlay on NDVia Dropdown Select the OVLY dropdown on the ND Tick the TERRAIN checkbox Via TERR Button Ensure MAP is displayed on atleast one INBD Display. Press the TERR button on the glareshield on either side of the cockpit.

The Synaptic A220 comes with a custom GSX Profile bundled in the Marketplace streamed/downloaded package already. However, if you encounter issues with GSX recognizing the aircraft type, you can install the linked GSX profile manually as a backup.

@willwest43 If you have one, that also shows your control inputs simultaneously on screen would be ideal. Also mention the hardware you're using for control. You could use something like the input viewer from your toolbar to show inputs in real time. Enable the "Simple" layout with numbers as well for reference. Thanks!

Thanks will pass it on to the team for further evaluation.

Yes your submitted reports are under investigation, and any changes are subject to data validation. Changes to engine parameters or cruise pitch angles has effects across all phases of flight. Just to manage expectations don't expect a quick turnaround on this. Things you mentioned falling back on your legacy FSX knowledge are not directly applicable to how things work in MSFS24. (e.g. Table 1506 etc.) Thanks for your patience meanwhile!

Thanks will pass it on to the team.

Try again in 1.0.8 update and let us know please. Usage of Greater Circle distances is one of the updated items.

As mentioned above, we have been trying but don't have any viable workaround at the moment for what appears to be a platform-level bug with how its rendering the clickspots. Should we find one that works, it will be pushed via an update but barring that it remains an issue that needs addressing sim-side. Thanks!

A known issue since SU5 Beta, please see:
