  4. 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 "Reverse 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\microsoft-aircraft-belugaxl\work MS Store: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\WASM\MSFS2024\microsoft-aircraft-belugaxl\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.

  9. Hi @HawxNS Thanks for your feedback. Forwarded to the team.
  10. Hi @Hawk The new universal EFB available in MSFS 2024 is currently only interactable via the dedicated Toolbar Panel 2D Window. At launch, the requisite API/Documentation which would allow for integration of its features independently to the first party airbus aircraft (especially in 3D) is unfortunately unavailable. So for such feedback we recommend sharing on the MS Forums directly, specifically the Wishlist section (https://forums.flightsimulator.com/c/official/wishlist/163) such that those who can make such decisions have visibility on these requests. Thanks!
  11. Hi @Marwan Please ensure you have correctly completed the throttle calibration process via the aircraft EFB: https://forum.inibuilds.com/topic/24052-how-to-calibrate-my-throttles/ If you are still unable, then this is issue is most likely caused by the on-going server issues affecting streamed packages. Please try again later. Thanks!
  12. Hi @Nuno Pinto Not at this time and as both of these are related to the core sim features, these are best reported on the MS Forums directly. Thanks!
  13. Apologies, it seems the key required to do this was unbound on my end. However I can confirm the issue now on A330s. Reported to the team. Thanks!
  14. Hi @Nikolas Farin Thanks for your kind words. We appreciate all the feedback however decisions as to product scope (systems depth/fidelity) and features (variants, options etc.) rest solely with Microsoft as it is first and foremost their product. So for such requests we recommend sharing on the MS Forums directly, specifically the Wishlist section (https://forums.flightsimulator.com/c/official/wishlist/163) such that those who can make such decisions have visibility on these requests. Thanks!
  15. Hi, Thanks for your report. Noted!
  16. Hi @julian2 In FS2020 this could be done by holding 'RIGHT ALT' key + left clicking on the displays. However at the moment this does not appear to be possible in FS2024. Thanks!
  17. Hi @330Captain H Unfortunately that sounds like an initialization issue, likely caused by the on-going server problems. Please try again after the servers have settled down. Thanks!
  18. Hi @rigsters Yes on a single purchase, you are eligible to receive both MSFS 2020 & MSFS 2024 versions of the KwikFlight Bone. However please note, only the MSFS 2020 version is available for download as of right now. The MSFS 2024 compatible version will be free-of-charge, but it may not be available at launch (19th November). That is up to the developer (KwikFlight) and we will make such version available via the iniManager as soon as it is received. Thanks!
  19. Hi, Apologies for delayed response! Just to confirm that it isn't some addon conflict, try running with only the B-1 in your community folder. To run with a blank community folder without losing your addons: 1. Rename your existing community folder to ``_Community`` 2. Create a new ``Community`` folder in its place. 3. Copy only the ``kwikflight-aircraft-bone`` folder inside it. 4. Run the sim and see if same problem persists. If its working now, then likely something else in your community folder is conflicting with the B-1. In this case, you may need to do some trial-and-error testing to confirm what may be the culprit. When you're done testing, to restore your addons & community folder: 1. Copy the ``kwikflight-aircraft-bone`` folder back to ``_Community`` 2. Delete the new ``Community`` folder you made 3. Rename the ``_Community`` folder to ``Community`` Thanks!
  20. The A400M utilises a combination of the Radio Management Panel (RMP), MFD NAVAIDS page and TCAS Control Panel in order to manage VHF Communications (COMM), Navigation Radios (NAV) and Transponder (XPDR/IFF) respectively. COMM Frequencies Management (RMP & ACP) The RMP is located on the glareshield on both the CAPT/FO sides. It is primarily used to control COMM frequencies and set XPDR code. To dial a frequency, use the keyboard to (5) to type the desired frequency (e.g 122.800 can be entered as 122800) into the scratchpad (6). Entry into STBY field: The typed frequency can be entered to STBY COM1 (V/U1) field by clicking LSK U2 (2) or STBY COM2 (V/U2) field by clicking LSK U3 (4) . Entry into ACTIVE field: The typed frequency can be entered to ACTIVE COM1 (V/U1) field by clicking LSK U1 (1) or ACTIVE COM2 (V/U2) field by clicking LSK U3 (3) . To swap the active frequency, for COM1 (V/U1) click the LSK U2 (2) or for COM2 (V/U2) click the LSK U4 (4) To swap the active radio, you need to use the Audio Control Panel (ACP) which is located next to the PFD on both the CAPT/FO sides. It is used to control the active COMM frequencies, as well as choose the volumes and audibility of various other NAV aids. For more information see: NAV Frequencies Management (MFD NAVAIDS page) The Navigational aids frequencies such as VOR 1, VOR2 and ILS are managed via the MFD's NAVAIDS page. These are normally tuned automatically, however you can change and tune any beacon that you need here. There are multiple ways to access the MFD NAVAIDS page: Using the POSITION drop-down menu on the MFD Using the NAVAID button on the KCCU on centre pedestal To manually select a VOR or ILS navaid, the process is the same, using the identifier(IDENT) which can be found on the charts. For example at GVAC, the VOR Sal's identifier is CVS. Meanwhile the ILS 01 identifier is SL. To select the VOR1 IDENT box by moving the cursor over it and left-clicking on it. For tuning the ILS the process is the same except using the LS IDENT box instead. Then use the keyboard to type in the desired IDENT. You can use the ENT or ESC key to exit the text box. In case there are multiple VORs/ILS using the same IDENT, the menu will ask you select the desired one, with their respective distances from current position shown for reference. Transponder (XPDR) / TCAS Management The Transponder code is set via the RMP, whereas the TCAS modes are controlled by the IFF/ TCAS Control Panel on the right side of the centre pedestal. To select a XPDR SQWK code you you need to use the RMP on the glareshield. Use the keyboard (1) to type the desired squawk code into the scratchpad (2). Then use the L4 LSK (3) to add it as the active code. Use the CLR button on the keyboard to remove the confirmation message. The various TCAS modes are toggled by clicking on their respective pushbuttons. The knob in middle is used to set the transponder to OFF, STBY or ALL/ON positions. The SYS switch is used to select the active system 1 or 2.
  21. The A400M has an Electronic Checklist accessible by pressing the NORM button (1) on the ECAM Control Panel. It will be displayed in the lower half of the E/WD. Using the Pedestal Joystick (2) you can scroll up or down to select a different checklist or checklist item. When the required item has been highlighted, press the ECAM Check button (3) to access the checklist. Items that require manual intervention are preceded by a tick box (▯), press the ECAM Check button to proceed to the next item. Some items can be automatically detected by the aircraft (for example the seat belts). The line will change from blue to green when the switch is detected in the correct position.
  22. The Flight Management Guidance and Envelope System (FMGES) provides predictions of flight time, mileage, speed, economy profiles, and altitude. It reduces cockpit workload, improves efficiency, and eliminates many routine operations generally performed by the flight crew. The pilots use the two MFDs to enter or modify data required by the FMGES via the KCCUs. Keyboard Cursor and Control Unit (KCCU) The KCCU is used to enter and modify data via the keyboard and various buttons (1 to 5). MFD pages can be accessed directly as well by pressing any of the MFD shortcut keys (6 to 13). 1. Keyboard 2. Backspace 3. Enter 4. Clear 5. Escape 6. Ref (Access Aircraft Status page) 7. Direct to page 8. Performance page 9. Fuel prediction page 10. Init page 11. Secondary Index page 12. Flight Plan page 13. Navigation Aids page Multi Function Display (MFD) The MFD contains several pages which can be accessed in various ways. At the top of the MFD we have the Menu (1). The main FMS pages can be accessed by selecting an option from the drop down menu (2). The KCCU also has direct access keys to certain pages. Pressing REF (3) will open the ACFT STATUS page while the cluster in (4) opens 7 other pages. Some pages have multiple pages contained within, these are called “Panels” (5) and can be accessed by present on the relevant header. Many buttons are present on each page, in this example pressing the INIT button (6) will change to the INIT page. As soon as your mouse is within the MFD screen boundaries the cursor symbol will become active (7). Use your mouse to click on menus, panels, buttons and fields that require information to be inserted. For more information, please refer to the Aircraft Systems section of the included manual.
  23. Hydraulic pressure in the Blue Hydraulic System is required in order to open and close the Main Cargo Door. It can be controlled via the EFB Ground Page or the dedicated 3-way switch on the aft center pedestal. EFB Control Door Control is available on the EFB Ground Page. If the pressure is insufficient you will receive the following error on the EFB when trying to operate the door: In order to pressurise the Blue Hydraulic System you must look at the aft area of the overhead panel. Open the guard of the BLUE ELEC PUMP push button and turn it ON. The door will now operate. Once the door is open (or closed), turn the BLUE ELEC PUMP push button to OFF by lifting the guard and pressing the ON push button. 3-Way Switch Control You can also operate the cargo door using the CARGO DOOR & RAMP 3-way switch on the aft center pedestal, provided there is sufficient hydraulic pressure in the Blue Hydraulic System (same steps as above). To operate this switch, first lift the guard, then move the switch UP to close or DOWN to open the Cargo Door & Ramp. Once the door is open (or closed), close the GUARD to return the switch to the NEUTRAL position.
  24. Your planned SimBrief flightplan may be imported directly into the MCDU via the ACTIVE/INIT page*. Click on INIT button, then click the INIT REQUEST* on-screen button for the flight plan import. You will receive an AOC RTE UPLINK message in the scratchpad if this is successful. You will still need to fill in the FUEL & LOAD page and select your SID/STAR/APPROACH via the F-PLN page manually. *Note: This feature only works after you have entered your Simbrief Pilot ID on the Options page. Your Pilot ID is found on the 'Account Settings' page on Simbrief. Options Page - Ensure your Simbrief Pilot ID (2) is entered in the EFB Options tab (1). MCDU Init Page - The INIT REQUEST* option is available after entering your Pilot ID on the EFB.
  25. If your aircraft is not following the flight path correctly, please check your MSFS Assistance settings and ensure that the 4 options highlighted below in red below are switched to OFF.
