Pushback and engine start not working
Hi @FlightSimJack Thanks for your report. I have just tried and not able to reproduce any of these issues on my end. Which leads me to believe that it is likely related to the on-going server issues that lead to improperly streamed packages. Please close the sim and delete the A321 from your streamed packages folder. This will force the sim to re-stream the package on next launch, then try again and see if you're still having these issues. The paths are as follows: Steam: MS Store: Thanks!

How to - Calibrate my throttles?
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.

Hi @HawxNS Thanks for your feedback. Forwarded to the team.

Full Integration with the new EFB
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!

My friend and I can't set up the reverser plane.
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!

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!

Airline Options
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.

A330 PFD/ND popout
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!

B-1 MSFS2024 Steam Question
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!

B-1 Cold and Dark (and Ready for Takeoff) Issue
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!

How to - Manage Radio Frequencies (Comm, Nav) & Transponder (XPDR / IFF)?
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.
