Systems and displays freezing
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 😉

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?

Reduced range on reverse Thrust
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!

ILS not coming up
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!

Every landing ends with high brake temps
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!

Unable to configure after V1.0.7 update
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!

Cannot get ILS landing to work
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!

A320neo autopilot keeps randomly disconnecting
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!

A300 FCU lighting Night/Day Flight
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!

No Top of Descent (white arrow)
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!

FLEX N1 Rating lower than CLB N1 rating
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!

Wrong time calculation at end of approach segment (TNCM ULUBA1 via MNOLO)
Hi @albertom We'll take a look at this. Can I also confirm are you using Navigraph or default navdata? Thanks!

Aircraft.cfg file
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!

A320Neo V2 for MSFS
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:

Time Acceleration
As mentioned on our discord, its under consideration. Additionally, to manage expectations, it isn't a minor fix that can be delivered in the short-term. We understand why people request it, and the importance of such features would only grow with products like the A350 and A380, so we would like to incorporate such features on it and possibly roll them back into previous products eventually. We appreciate your understanding. Thanks!

Pro ATC radio issue?
Roger, we'll take a look. But is the issue that you cannot swap frequencies? On A300, the fix was allowing radio swapping via `COM1_RADIO_SWAP' and 'COM2_RADIO_SWAP' simconnect events. Both of these already work on the A320neo currently. Thanks!

AI Copilot Unable to Steer/Turn Aircraft
Thanks for confirming. I've passed on your suggestion to the team, we'll take a look if it can be incorporated in a future iteration of the plane. Thanks!

Installing liveries
You can download liveries from the iniManager. It will automatically install them into your community folder. For other liveries downloaded from third-party sites, please follow the instructions as included with those. Normally, same as any plane, all compatible liveries should work by drag-and-drop in your community folder. Thanks!

List of problems( Airbus A320N)
Are you using any pedals or axis for Left Brake/Right Brake? The Autobrakes disconnect when they detect any input on the brake axis (left or right), and judging by the fact you drift to the left, it leads me to believe that Left Brake axis is getting erroneous input. So please cross check your bindings, and deadzones of those axis. Thanks!

A20N v2 feedback (Xbox series X)
What was the PBD in which you noticed the issue? Also are you able to reproduce this problem successfully? Yes this is an acknowledged shortcoming of the currently implemented LNAV logic, and we're working to improve this on a future version. For now it is recommended to fly DME ARC segments manually where necessary. Thanks, will investigate. Can you verify you are using the same units (Metric/KG vs Imperial/LBS) on both the EFB settings and Simbrief Dispatch? Just a reminder to avoid posting the same comment in multiple places I've answered this on your dedicated post: Thanks!
