Hi @LeeH No, we do not have any more liveries planned for the moment. Thanks!

Hi @Thompson Thanks for the suggestions. 1) Navigraph Charts - As this is a Microsoft Product, that decision ultimately rests with them. As much as you or we would love to, in the end such integrations with 3rd-party, non-default services have to be wanted and approved by them in their product. 2) In-Game ATC integration - your suggestion is noted and shared with the team. Thanks!

Hi @Bazz The red disconnect pb on the sidestick is mapped to 'AUTOPILOT OFF' command only, so you need to assign it to that instead. This is because IRL that button can only be used to disengage, and not engage the AP. If you disconnect the AP using this button, the alarm should only sound once and silence itself. If not, press that red button again to silence it for good. Thanks!

Hi @radbird Are you on Xbox or PC? This sounds like some kind of add-on conflict of some sorts. If you're on pc, try to run the SkyVan with an empty community folder. To do so without having to reinstall any addons, simply rename your existing Community folder (e.g. rename it '_Community'). Launch the sim, load into the SkyVan and see if you are still noticing such issues. If yes, that means you have something in your community folder that is causing a conflict. If you're using an addon like Horizon Simulations 787, please make sure it is updated to the latest version. If no, please report back. To restore your community folder, simply delete the new empty 'Community' folder, and rename your old one from '_Community' back to 'Community'. Thanks!

Hi @MitchellAA300 We just checked on our end and are not able to reproduce such issues with lighting. The lights will generally disappear at certain zoom levels (as this is part of LOD optimization for performance reasons), but they remain on in external views at the right zoom level. Also stairs are only available on cargo variants. Are you not able to see them via the EFB on the cargo aircraft?

I'm afraid you're on your own with that as that is copyrighted and protected material that we cannot share whole. However, google is your friend 😉

Thanks, reported.

Hi @kekki Please English only on these forums. And no you shouldn't need to restart the plane after every flight. What is the issue you are facing?

Hi @BrownCow069, Good catch. The 'Actual N1%' needle (green arrow) is correct, and at max reverse ~45% N1 is expected. However what appears to be wrong here is the 'Thrust Lever Angle (TLA) Position / N1% Command' needle (red arrow), so will log that as a bug. Thanks!

Thanks for confirming my statement. It "updates" with some "ILS data" every time you select a procedure. The 'phase of flight' determines whether that "ILS data" should be read from Departure Airport or Arrival Airport files. But if you continue further to read the third paragraph, you'd notice: In other words, when you select a procedure, the MCDU is calling on a default MSFS function that pulls the "ILS data" from an airport. The "ILS data" it pulls, is as defined by: the scenery itself (default or add-on) OR some other scenery files (as added by Navigraph or other navdata addons).* *The priority of the load order between both of the above is also not something the a320neo can control. There is no independent nav-database that the airplane is calling upon (e.g. in addons such as Fenix or PMDG which you can update via Navigraph Hub). So the "fix" to this issue is to ensure the scenery data and additional navdata is not in conflict, and appropriately taking precedence. Hope that helps you to better understand the issue. Thanks!

Ah, sorry I misunderstood your request. But that should be an easy fix. Bug logged, thanks!

Hi @Hungrypilot We currently have it tuned per IRL data for the A306. The BRAKE FANs exist for this reason, and are important equipment on this plane (unless you got time to wait for your brakes to cool). Generally, the slower you are, the less energy there is to lose using brakes, and the less heat will be generated as a result. In short, more flap, more reverser, less brake. Turn on brake fans as soon as you vacate. Do note that even with them ON, the brakes will continue to heat up as they try to dissipate the energy stored in them, and eventually they will reach equilibrium and the fans will start taking effect. Thanks!

Hi @Luciano Firstly, please ensure you have calibrated your throttles from the EFB Options. The function of the A/THR in A320neo is linked to your throttle levers being in the CLB, FLX MCT or TOGA detents. If your throttle is outside those detends, on your PFD the FMA will show MAN THR and you may not be able to engage A/THR. In general, I recommend you checkout some tutorial videos on youtube on how to fly airbus aircraft. There are many great options on youtube, but you could start here about Autothrust:

Hi @PotatoSalad Ensure you are on the latest version of the the iniManager (2.3.7). On launch of the iniManager, it should automatically download the latest version of the 'scenery_config.json' file that rectifies the issue. In case you are still not able to see the options, please re-install the scenery. Thanks!

Hi @JoeDel To intercept an ILS, you need to: Fly on an intercept heading/course towards the LOC, and Capture and establish on the LOC before you can capture the GS Capture the GS at an altitude below the GS If you are already above the GS, the AP may still capture the LOC, but will not initiate a descent to capture the GS. The airplane will also not follow the GS until you are established on the LOC first. From your screenshot, I can see LAND is selected on the FCU, and G/S & LOC are properly armed (in blue) as the next modes for the autopilot to capture. However, from the ILS raw data, I can see that the LOC is to your right, and the GS is already below you. From the current position, you'd need to fly further to the right to intercept the LOC, and initiate a descent to a lower altitude (e.g. 1500ft) using VS mode (at -1000 fpm or as necessary) to get below the GS to intercept it. There are plenty of video tutorials available on youtube regarding this, but here is a Computer Based Training (CBT) for a standard ILS approach: https://youtu.be/bS_tLfKDak4?t=587 Hope it helps, thanks!

Hi @samj Other than conflicting/noisy control inputs, other things that can upset the autopilot include excessive turbulence or abrupt wind/weather changes (e.g. when the sim does a weather update). One way to ensure that this isn't what is happening here is to try a flight with the 'Clear Weather' preset, and see if you still notice the issue. The other thing is to also check that AI Assists (e.g. Auto Yoke and Auto Trim) are disabled. Those can also cause issues with the Autopilot. Thanks!

Seen your report on discord and noted, thanks!

Can y'all confirm you've enabled the correct radios from the ACP? See:

Hi @Nighthwk Thanks this is known and will be sorted in next update.

Hi @Airbuskid87 As reported by @DanDan87 on discord, this issue appears to be related to anti-aliasing settings. Perhaps try to change your settings and see if the issue is resolved. Thanks!

Hi @KirkJohn The ND does not display the top of descent arrow when HDG (or TRACK) mode is engaged. So you have to be in Managed (NAV) mode following your flight plan. There could also be additional reasons such as not having reached your CRZ alt, as well as having already passed it. Could you please share the route you were flying (e.g. EGGW/25 N0371F180 OLNE2B OLNEY T420 TNT N57 DENBY DCT LBA DCT EGNM/32) as seen on simbrief in the 'Route' section of the dispatch? Thanks!

Hi @geckuz Thanks for your post. Unfortunately this is not correct, and a misconception derived from an old version of FCOM. Such a limitation was only applicable to very early variants of the A320ceo. The A320neo meanwhile is a different beast altogether when it comes to Flexible Thrust takeoffs when compared to any variant of the A320ceo. The A320neo engines generally have more FLEX by comparison. Here is a real world example of an A320neo where the FLEX N1% target (~79%) is lower than the CLB one (~83%). https://youtu.be/cv41hm4JEB8?t=157 And also for A321ceo where the FLEX N1% target (~85%) is lower than the CLB one (~87%). https://youtu.be/LGeegwNsKwU?si=Iir3j35AKEqxTQxt&t=1120 We are looking into improvements for calculations at high altitudes in a future update, but generally, performance calculations are a complex subject with a lot of variables at play. The takeoff speeds are optimised for maximum flex for the given restriction, meaning on a dry runway 50ft elevation at the end of it, and 35ft for a wet one. The EFB's computed performance is aiming to FLEX as much as possible while giving as much climb gradient for the 2nd segment which is often why you see 2nd segment limited message, and it will try to use up as much runway as it can if it means it can flex the engines more. Thanks!

Hi @albertom We'll take a look at this. Can I also confirm are you using Navigraph or default navdata? Thanks!

Hi @DaveEastwood All the files can be found in the ``microsoft-aircraft-a320neo`` folder that is in your 'Packages/Official' folder. However do note the 'Aircraft.cfg' file is unfortunately encrypted by Microsoft and may not be user accessible. We cannot share/provide this file as it is a Microsoft product, for further enquiries you can contact them directly via ZenDesk. Thanks!

Hi @Saitek15 You can find the A320neo, and all other Microsoft aircraft manuals here: https://www.flightsimulator.com/aircraft-manuals/ As for the videos, we do not have any detailed instructional series planned as there are plenty already covering the A320 and its variants. However you can refer to our introductory video below for the more pertinent info, specifically detailing the differences between the 320Neo vs 320Ceo:
