Hi @D-Ruston Thanks again for sharing. As replied to the same message on discord: Thanks!

Hmm that is quite strange. We haven't observed any outright CTDs with the A320Neo V2 on our end. You could also try to change your graphic settings and see if that makes a difference (in case its to do with some kind of rendering/driver/shader cache bug). Thanks!

Can you confirm that you tried to delete the files in either one of these locations only? If you delete the files in any other location that could cause the plane to not function properly. In which case you should delete and re-install the plane via the in-game content manager. Steam: MS Store: If you're still having issues, please try with an empty community folder to rule out any addon conflicts. Thanks!

Unlike the modern airbus, the ATHR is not to be used on the A300/310 for landing other than when coupled with AP for an autoland. This is per Airbus guidance. AP OFF, but A/THR ON is a scenario for which there is no guidance, as such its operation is probably not guaranteed, therefore ultimately not supported. Thanks!

The autopilot can go off for following reasons: Excessive control inputs (either aileron/elevator/rudder axis) - So it could be due to inputs being given whilst you are trying to change views, or if you have any kind of stick drift / noisy axis Excessive Turbulence - in adverse weather conditions or simply too much fluctuation of wind vectors, the AP can disengage if it cannot properly maintain level flight Control Binding Conflicts - You have AP Toggle / disconnect also accidentally mapped to buttons you are using to change views or conduct any other functions. Please double check your control bindings in options. Please check and ensure neither are happening leading to the issue you're noticing. This will only appear once you are properly in cruise and have appropriately filled in the INIT B pages with the relevant data (ZFW/ZFWCG/FOB etc). The INIT B page can only be accessed in pre-flight, with both engines shut down by pressing INIT on MCDU, then proceeding to next page. This is a bit difficult to do without access to charts for the airports you intend to operate in and out of. For the USA, you can typically find the charts online for free, through sites like FlightAware. Equally, you can also find routes with the planned SID/STAR filed on FlightAware for easy reference. I would also recommend watching some videos on Youtube that can guide you through this process. One such example as below, but there are equally very many tutorials out there: https://youtu.be/Y11WmGlvaIE Thanks!

Can you confirm that you have exhausted all suggestions mentioned above? Including the ones about known conflict such as toolbar pushback? Also in this video, did you just spawn on runway or was this after pushback? If after pushback, what are you using for it? It seems like an issue where the "pushback" tool used (be it toolbar pushback or GSX for that matter) hasn't properly relinquished control, hence you're still essentially "slewing". I would also recommend trying to use the A300 with an empty community folder. This is to rule out any conflicting addons. Instructions below: Thanks!

Can you check that any 3rd party programs (e.g. Logitech's controller software) aren't running that may be keeping some sim code/services running that could cause issues. Thanks!

Hi @Adrian Ramdeholl If you join up our Discord, please checkout the following post: https://discord.com/channels/535246634448191499/1243652318868668487/1243652318868668487 Here is a small snippet, but there's a lot more information in that thread: It goes into more detail about the references used and why the sounds are the way they are. While there may be room for small improvements in balancing, overall we feel the sounds to be accurately matched to the references available to us. Thanks!

Glad to hear it is resolved. As the service is dependent on both Microsoft/Azure and Navigraph/Simbrief servers, sometimes there may be temporary outages that can cause problems. Thanks!

Can you confirm you are using the latest version of the iniManager. Grab the latest installer from here and run it: https://inibuilds.com/pages/inimanager-v2 Also, please try to "run as Admin" the iniManager app. Thanks!

Unfortunately that is something only MS/Asobo would know.

Hi @browns11 Thanks for your report. I was able to reproduce the issue. I'll share with the team. Thanks!

Hi @Adrian Ramdeholl We're aware of an issue affecting sceneries on Xbox where in certain parts of the scenery may not load in properly (or at all) anymore. This is due to changes in memory management on Xbox since SU15, which has become more aggressive in removing things completely in order to sustain FPS or pre-decided memory headroom for aircraft operations. According to MS/Asobo, there will be a new GDK as part of SU16 update that should free up more memory on Xbox, thereby making this issue less frequent. In case there is anything we can do to resolve this, we will push it via an update, however until then, unfortunately this is a platform limitation. Thanks!

I'm not certain this will resolve the issue but worth trying. Delete the contents of the folder listed below. It will regenerate those files next time you load into a flight with the A300. The location will vary depending on your version of MSFS: *Note: It will reset some EFB options (like throttle calibration) and other maintenance records.* Steam MS Store In case you are using the rudders only, without any assignment to the steering axis, then you must have the RUDDER CONTROLS TILLER option enabled. With that on, you'll see the tiller in the cockpit, and the nosewheel in external camera move with your assigned rudder axis. As stated in the thread above, there may be conflicts with Toolbar Pushback (in case you're using that). Alternatively, as done by Hardfloor, assign the same hardware axis to the 'steering axis' and use it that way. Thanks! 2024-08-27 20-31-07(1).mp4

Ah ok, that is a completely different thing. Specifically its the BackUp Speed Scale (BUSS), which is optional on A320(CEO/NEO)/A330(CEO/NEO)/A340 family of aircraft. As such it is not installed as a manually selectable button on all aircraft, and certainly isn't on the reference aircraft & documentation we have used in modelling our rendition of the A320neo V2. So it isn't "less realistic" without it. Your suggestion is noted and will be shared with the team, however in order to manage expectations, it is not very likely to implemented any time soon (if at all). We appreciate your reports and do hope to action on as many as possible. Thanks!

I saw you also discussed this issue on Discord. And as I understand you're conducting an autoland? As in any other scenario the ATHR should be disconnected manually prior to touchdown. As for Autoland, you need to carefully watch the mode transitions as follows: For the A/THR to retard you need to watch for transition from LAND to FLARE then ROLL OUT modes, which will see the A/THR modes go from SPD to RETARD to MAN THR respectively. At about RETARD, you should also manually move your hardware throttle axis to retard, as the moment this switches to MAN THR, your hardware axis position starts being fed to the sim, and if the axis is not at 0/IDLE position, then you will end up with forward thrust. (This is a sim-ism, as in the real plane the throttle levers physically move with A/THR, whereas in our sim setups they don't so we have to do this manually) You will also need to watch the FMA to ensure you're not ending up in a go around state. Go Around FMA mode transitions will look like: The reason I asked for screenshots is to observe these FMA readings to better understand what may be happening in your case. In testing of this build specifically, we have conducted many autolands and have not noticed any major issues when conducted properly. If you feel this to be an issue, perhaps setup a short flight and record the autoland. If this scenario is in fact an issue, the problem will be reproducible and you will have a clip to share in the end. Thanks!

Hi @Sonkeli12 It sounds like the aircraft stalled and hence the stall protections activated as a result. Next time this happens, could you please take some screenshots as we'd have to see the configuration of the plane, the active flight modes and particularly things like the position of the throttle levers & gear handles etc. before we can make any conclusions as to what happened. The previously reported things that can affect autopilot include: AI Assists (In the MSFS Assistance Options, ensure all disabled) Abrupt weather updates (Occasionally the sim's weather can update abruptly, specifically with regards to winds that can cause the airplane to overspeed or stall depending on the degree of difference between old vs new weather. This can also cause temporary severe turbulence, which in turn kicks off the AP.) Throttle Axis noise ( Noise in throttle axis inputs means that the the throttles fall out of the CLB detent occasionally, leading to the ATHR system not working properly even though engaged) Inadvertent deployment of gear/flaps/speedbrakes (which can cause excessive drag and lead to stalls or other AP/ATHR disconnects) Was the FMC and the FCU panel still responsive? Was the PFD still updating your current altitude/speed and responding to bank/pitch movements? If the systems were "Frozen" in place, then it was possibly a WASM crash which is a different issue altogether. If all systems were still responsive to input, but simply not flying properly then its likely a case of throttle not in the right detent, and AP modes not having reverted/reset properly. In any case, it is difficult to say without any accompanying screenshots/video of the plane in that scenario which could provide more clues as to what was happening. Thanks!

Ok, I was able to reproduce the issue by following the steps taken in your video. It is indeed a type (a) WASM crash and we'll look into it. For now, avoid using the ALTN airport section of the F-PLN. Instead add the ALTN flight route to your SEC F-PLN instead. Thanks for the report!

Please make sure you have calibrated your throttles from the EFB. Also ensure you have selected the correct REVERSE ON AXIS option based on your hardware (should be no for an xbox controller). Please follow the guide here: Thanks!

Hmm, as you can see in the video, the EFB doesn't freeze the cursor when in "input" mode. It just captures all keyboard inputs for the EFB instead. If it did affect mouse input as you say, then you would not be able to use the on-screen keyboard even as the mouse is not visible. So I'm not sure of your observation, it could be some other addon causing conflict. You could perhaps try with an "empty" community folder to be certain. You don't need to uninstall any addons, simply try the renaming trick as below: Thanks!

Again, was ATHR engaged at the time of touchdown? Was it engaged whilst it was going "full bore down the runway"? What were the modes on the FMA. What was the FCU showing? Please take screenshots at least next time you notice this at the time its happening as without any of that info its hard to say anything further. Thanks!

This sounds like you have something else mapped to your steering axis (be it controller or keyboard/mouse) which is giving it some input that would cause it to be stuck. Additionally, you shouldn't have to assign a steering axis through the sim if you have the RUDDER CONTROLS TILLER option enabled in the EFB, as that is what that option does for you automatically. We are not able to reproduce this issue across PC or Xbox, so it does seem localized to your control options/setup unfortunately.

It's accurate to the real aircraft. We spent a long time on the A320Neo to ensure it's correct comparing to real reference images. Thanks suggestions are noted. However, this being a Microsoft product, new features/variants and things of that nature are decisions that are up to them. So these would be better suited on their forums. There is already an Integrated Standby Instrument System (ISIS) on the aircraft that serves this purpose. It is to the right of CAPT's ND. Thanks!

Hi @Sonkeli12 Thanks for your report. Was not able to reproduce on the latest build that will be coming as part of the Aircraft & Avionics Update 3 (AAU3), so hopefully the new LNAV logic and stability improvements have resolved such instances for good. Thanks!

It was a bug that caused them not to appear properly. Already fixed for next version as acknowledged in above post. Thanks!
