Loadsheet Page (OIS) Before you fly, you must set your Zero Fuel Weight (ZFW) and Fuel Load (FUEL) via the On-board Information System (OIS) display LOADSHEET Page. You can do this manually or through Simbrief import. We will go over both methods below. The LOADSHEET Page page can be accessed via the FLT OPS MENU or directly by clicking the (A) LOADSHEET navigation menu button. (Click to enlarge image) Changing Weight Measurement Units (LBS / KGS) The aircraft weight measurement units (LBS / KGS) are changed on the OIS Settings Page which can be reached via FLT OPS MENU > OPTIONS > OIS SETTINGS. Select your desired unit by clicking on its respective button. (Click to enlarge image) Manual Entry ZFW: Click the (C) ZFW Entry Box and then use the On-Screen Keyboard to enter the desired value. When done, select the (E) SET ZFW button to apply the entered load to the aircraft. FUEL: Click the (D) FUEL Entry Box and then use the On-Screen Keyboard to enter the desired value. When done, select the (F) SET FUEL button to apply the entered load to the aircraft. You will see a notification at the top of the OIS Display indicating the status of various actions. Simbrief Import Simbrief ID: Verify you have set-up your Simbrief Pilot ID (numbers only) on the FLT OPS MENU > OPTIONS > 3RD PARTY settings page. Click on the SIMBRIEF USER ID text field and then use the On-Screen Keyboard.

Then click the (E) SET ZFW and (F) SET FUEL buttons respectively to apply the imported loads to the aircraft. (Click to enlarge image)

Issues with Calibration If you experience any issues with the Throttle Calibration process, you may force-reset the calibration on the EFB via either of the following methods: PC & Xbox: Toggle the 'Reverser on Axis' option between YES and NO a few times to reset the calibration. PC Only: Delete the 'ThrottleData.ini' file to start fresh on next launch of the simulator. This file will be found in the work folder of the aircraft, and the path will vary based on where you purchased the simulator: Steam: %APPDATA%\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\WASM\MSFS2024\inibuilds-aircraft-a350\work MS Store: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\WASM\MSFS2024\inibuilds-aircraft-a350\work Issues with Reversers If you experience any issues with the operation of reversers on hardware with reverse on axis (E.g. TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition), please ensure the following: Reverse on Axis: Ensure you have selected YES on the EFB Throttle Calibration page. Calibration: Ensure you have completed the calibration at least once. This will ensure the creation of a 'ThrottleData.ini' file. ThrottleData.ini : The file can be found at the path stated above. Open with a text editor (e.g. Notepad) and check that it says the following - [throttle] reverse_on_axis = true If it says false, change it to true as above. Reversers should then work after a sim restart.

Throttle Calibration Page (OIS) Before you fly, you must calibrate your throttles via the On-board Information System (OIS) display Options > Throttle Calibration Page. (Click to enlarge image) Reverser on Axis Option Verify whether your hardware has a reverse thrust on an axis or not then choose the appropriate option. 'REVERSER ON AXIS' is set to NO: The bottom most position of your hardware axis (0%) will be assignable to the IDLE detent position. You may have to bind 'HOLD' / 'TOGGLE REVERSE THRUST' sim control binding to an additional button / input on your hardware to use reverse thrust. This option is recommended for majority of the more commonly used hardware equipment (including Xbox Controllers). 'REVERSER ON AXIS' is set to YES: The bottom most position of your hardware axis (0%) will be assignable to the MAX REV detent position for thrust reverser operation. You can additionally define separate IDLE and IDLE REV detent positions. This option is recommended for hardware such as the TCA Airbus Throttle Quadrant. (Click to enlarge image) Global Deadzone Option You may define a 'Global Deadzone %' for all detents or input an individual 'DZ%' manually for each detent during the Throttle Calibration Process which we will cover below. The present deadzone % boundary is also shown visually on the axis diagram to the right via white lines above/below your present AXIS % value. These lines indicate that the assigned detent will activate whenever AXIS 1 & AXIS 2 % values are within the two white lines. The larger the number, the further apart the white lines will be meaning the the detent is engaged for a larger range of hardware axis movement. 'USE GLOBAL DEADZONE' is set to YES: Use this option if you want all the detents to have the same deadzone value automatically after you complete the Throttle Calibration Process described below. Enter a number in the 'GLOBAL DEADZONE %' text box immediately below (Default is 2.5%). The value entered will be applied to all detents (MAX REV / IDLE REV / IDLE / CLB etc.) whenever you click any of the detent buttons. 'USE GLOBAL DEADZONE' is set to NO: Use this option if you want some of the detents to have a different deadzone value when you complete the Throttle Calibration Process described below. Enter a number in the 'DZ %' text box immediately below the detent buttons. The value shown will be applied ONLY to whichever detent button (MAX REV / IDLE REV / IDLE / CLB etc.) you click. You can then change this value and click a different detent button, and it will apply the shown value as the deadzone for that detent. (Click to enlarge image) Throttle Calibration Process You may begin the calibration process by physically moving your hardware axis to your desired position, then clicking the desired detent button (e.g. IDLE/CLB etc.) on the OIS to assign the shown AXIS 1 & AXIS 2 % to that respective detent. Example #1 - Reverser On Axis = NO To define the IDLE detent on hardware without reverser on axis: (Click to enlarge image) Move your hardware axis physically to its idle position (e.g. AXIS 1 & AXIS 2 will typically read 0%) Set your desired 'GLOBAL DEADZONE %' or Deadzone (DZ%) for the current detent. Press the 'IDLE' detent button on the OIS. A green notification at the top of the screen ('Calibration: Idle Set') will confirm the IDLE detent is set to your present hardware axis position. Repeat the same process for each desired detent from IDLE to TOGA. Example #2 - Reverser On Axis = YES To define the CLB detent on hardware with reverser on axis: Move your hardware axis physically to the desired position ( e.g. AXIS 1 & AXIS 2 may read ~50% on TCA Airbus Throttle Quadrant on its physical CLB detent but may vary per your hardware) Set your desired 'GLOBAL DEADZONE %' or Deadzone (DZ%) for the current detent. Press the 'CLB' detent button on the OIS. A green notification at the top of the screen ('Calibration: Climb Set') will confirm the IDLE detent is set to your present hardware axis position. Repeat the same process for each desired detent from MAX REV to TOGA. (Click to enlarge image)

Hi @LukeFF Apologies for delayed response. But both of these are core-sim issues. The sim adds a snow exclusion around roads (you can see this on the default LOWI as well) and currently offers no way to overlay or hide these roads as they're added in a layer above scenery by the sim, driven by their own vector data. Same with Fauna (animals), these are dynamically generated by the sim with no way to create any exclusion zones for them. Only workaround for now is to disable them in the Graphics settings. Thanks

Thanks Noted.

Hi @DDoBaGi That looks like you have 2 Dubai sceneries active at the same time. Please verify you have disabled any other OMDB sceneries from your My Library (e.g. Default handcrafted OMDB) See below article for how: https://flightsimulator.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/17373373933340-How-to-enable-and-disable-content-in-the-simulator As for Orbx Dubai Landmarks, OMDB Enhanced is not marketed as compatible nor is compatibility tested/supported. That being said OMDB Enhanced comes with built-in Landmarks so would recommend disabling any other Dubai addons for the same. Thanks!

Hi @b747 That is a feature not a bug. Fuel is gravity fed to the engines even without the pumps being on. The only way to absolutely cut-off fuel feeding is by engaging any of the fuel fire shutoff valves. These valves close when their respective Fire handle is pulled. The pumps switches on the overhead control the "Electrical Fuel Booster Pumps" (keyword being Booster). These help ensure sufficient continuous pressure for transfer between tanks, which is particularly important for low fuel or extreme pitch attitudes, bank angles etc or high continuous demand which can exceed the gravity fuel feeding rate (e.g Takeoff thrust). Thanks!

Hi @CptFerox @Argonox Most users have made changes to the controller profiles, having unbound unnecessary controls from keyboard/mouse and other connected devices so we recommend the same. As a last resort, you may also try a sim re-install, especially if the initial sim install was within first few weeks when server issues were prevalent as it is possible some core files were improperly installed. Currently we do not have any other suggestions other than those above at this time. As also mentioned on the previous post, currently we have not seen any issues aircraft-code wise that would cause AP disconnection issues, nor have we been able to reproduce this on our end (having done multiple "AFK" flights, longer than 6h as well). Thanks!

Hi @Jeff Green We have to wait for a fix from MS/Asobo side as last sim update has affected reflections across the board. Thanks!

Hi @Jorrallcorrall We're not able to reproduce such issues (flight control or engines cut off) on long or short segments across the A330 fleet (or other default airbus aircraft) internally or through any of our testers. So the issue is likely client side, please take a look at the suggestions below to see if you can find the cause: Sorry you're experiencing this, please also take screenshots of when this happens (A screenshot that shows PFD/ND/FCU in clear view + a screenshot of your pedestal (MCDU till rudder trim) + a screenshot of your overhead panel), so we can see if there are any clues as to why this may be happening. The AP/AT disconnection is usually caused by control inputs, which could be caused by conflicting keybinds from any of your connected devices. These can include primary flight controls (axis/buttons for Aileron/Elevator/Rudder) and trim for those controls. For the throttles these keybinds could also be nudging the them out of the relevant detents, and thereby leading to AT disconnection. The banking left is indicative of inputs on aileron or rudder (or their respective trim). Alot of these are assigned to common keys (e.g. Enter for RUDDER YAW RIGHT) on the default profiles for keyboard. So it is possible these are being inadvertently registered by the sim as you're using your keyboard outside of flight sim as well. TOGA LK will usually engage when aircraft has entered a low speed regime to prevent stall (ALPHA FLOOR PROTECTION), so that is just the result of an AT/AP disconnect situation leading to a degradation of your speed. This also seems a keybind issue related to MIXTURE (axis or set rich/lean) or CONDITION. Alot of users who have reported such issues have resolved after ensuring any bindings related to these are unassigned from all connected devices, except for the switches/axis where you want it to be assigned. You should also be wary of the control profiles, as these can be assigned individually per aircraft now so you want to ensure the correct ones are assigned and active. Some users have also reported that even though a profile was showing active on UI, it wasn't the case until the changed to default profile, and then back to their custom profile and hit save after. The last thing (particularly PC related) is that if your PC has power saving enabled on USB ports. It is possible that after a few hours of non-usage, it enters a power-saving state, which causes device to reconnect. MSFS2024 loads the "default" controller profile initially when a device is connected, before reverting to custom profiles if the device is recognized again. So its possible that is what is happening in these instances. So spend some time looking into these to see if you can resolve the issues. Thanks!

The Behaviours menu is a bit different in terms of layout in FS2024, with alot more options but it generally works in the same way. Enable Developer Mode in settings and then open the behaviours menu from the [DEVMODE] toolbar. Highlight the interaction you want to inspect by hovering your mouse over it and then press 'L Ctrl' +'G' on your keyboard. On the [INSPECTOR] Tab, you can usually fin the affected variables under Animations or Mouserect dropdowns. Then go to [VARIABLES] Tab, type in the name of LVAR and use your mouse to conduct the interaction to monitor the changes in values. Note: The sim does not allow all LVARs to be defined by the user, but this way you can find the affected LVARs for each interaction to see the ones you can manipulate. 2025-01-07 14-50-23.mp4 Thanks!

Hi @einherz Just to confirm you're talking about the turn & slip indicator, correct? From what I can see, it does move around a little bit whilst taxiing, but generally remaining centered in place. I believe this is a feature of the new CFD of FS2024 where it is perhaps more sensitive to slight changes of g-forces and that is what you're seeing? 2025-01-07 00-54-06.mp4 Thanks!

Hi @Alan Fernandes We are unable to provide any ETA as the process is not entirely in our hands. However, we hope the update (v1.1.4) is pushed via marketplace soon. Thanks!

Hi, sorry I was unable to reproduce the issue on latest version (1.1.4) from iniManager. It seems to be working fine for me, per video below. 2025-01-06 23-48-20.mp4 Can you please try to clear your A300 WASM folder to see if that resolves the issue? If not, try running with an empty community folder (only inibuilds a300 inside) to rule out any conflicts due to other addons. Thanks!

@einherz Thanks for sharing the video. I see the issue at the timestamp and added to your initial report for the team. Thanks!

Please try loading into the aircraft now and see if you're still having the issues. Some of our testers reported the issue is no longer happening as of today. We believe it may have been related to the validity date format of this particular AIRAC cycle - the end date (23 Jan 2025) going into another year at the time this was initially reported (2024). However, now that we're in the same year, the issue is seemingly no longer occurring. We would appreciate if others could confirm the same. Thanks!

Hi, Apologies for delayed response and thanks for your report. Was your physical throttle axis already on IDLE at the time you disconnected the throttles? I just tested, the moment you disconnect the autothrottles, the A310 starts to read the position of your physical throttle axis and as such makes adjustment accordingly. In my test I had my physical throttles axis at ~50%, whereas aircraft was descending essentially on IDLE with AT. As soon as I disconnected AT, the throttles were now at 50%. In real life, this would not be an issue as when you disconnect AT, your physical throttles will be wherever AT had it last. However in sim, this is a limitation as most users do not have a physical throttle axis that is controlled by servos to match the state of AT. So you just need to be mindful of the position of your axis at the time you're about to disconnect AT. Thanks!

Hi @sidneyschwartz Apologies for late resopnse, but I hope you found your answer already. If not, the value goes on the INIT B page, as seen on the video here (30:42): Thanks!

Hi @WallyWalt Apologies for delayed response and thanks for your report. No there is no failure or service based maintenance system implemented on the A310. Have you had this issue on subsequent flights or was it just that once? Thanks!

Hi @neagabi Apologies for delayed response and thanks for you report. That is very odd, can you please share the OFP for your flight? This should be available as a PDF from simbrief. Also have you had this issue again ever since? Thanks!

Hi @HawkEyeGuy7659 Firstly, a Happy New Year to you too! Please try loading into the aircraft now and see if you're still having the issues. Some of our testers reported the issue is no longer happening as of today. We believe it may have been related to the validity date format of this particular AIRAC cycle - the end date (23 Jan 2025) going into another year at the time this was initially reported (2024).
