SWGS201

Love the work so far! Great plane, love to fly it. I've sent this to PMDG and Fenix as well as no one seems to have this correct. This is a great example of a large turbine start up: I am a turbine engineer and IRL the "base" sounding acoustics on start are loud - very loud as in low frequency vibrations. This tapers out as combustion evens out and the engine reaches idle. Again in high power settings the "vibrations" return. Also listen to the air pushing through the air starter, you cannot hear the APU anymore.

I have the AB TM and the A300 and it works fine. Yoo need to reconfigure the TM to not use the detents and also calibrate for having reversers on the axis.

Love flying this bird - Ive been doing Fs since '84. I flew the first PMDG 778 in FLY when it came out. Also a licensed AME working on 757, L1011, A310 and 737s. The A300 Looks great, feels great. Couple of house keeping items: 1) There is no red anti-collision light on the bottom or top of the aircraft. The reflections is there but no actual light. 2) Has trouble following its own way points via arcs drawn on he MFD. In fact it will chase a waypoint circling continuously if it cannot cross it. 3) Autoland - not sure as the PMDG 737 and Fenix A320 have struggled with this. It is not stable and the flare is way to over reactive. The descent on the glidesope "porpoises" and has trouble stabilizing. 4) Similar to the A310 for ini, the A300 does not react well to time compression. When building a long haul, widebody FS simulator it needs to take reality into consideration. Auto time compression like on the PMDS 737 and POD (Pause at TOD) is a must 5) Sounds - there is some strange stuff going on here like the loud rumbling of something on taxi, descent and landing (the ini A310 does this too). If this is supposedly to be HP bleed it is way overdone. HP bleed sounds like a louder rushing of air as the LP drops off. The engines externally lack the heavy base rumble on start up, idle and esp take off and cruise of the real CF-6. I have stood next to many start ups and you feel it rather than hear it. The bass is totally missing in all phases of flight. The internal engine sounds again are too weak and miss the bass and vibration of the real thing. Yes the buzzsaw effect is great but you can hardly hear it. 6) crew oxygen supply cant be turned on I know its a first cut and it will get better. Congrats on the first payware long hauler in MSFS. Keep up the good work.

Hi all - correct it is the pitot tubes that iceded up- as I wrote all anti-icing systems were engaged on descent as per SOP. Thanks for the work around on the MSFS icing effects! It still is a bug on the A310 that should be fixed.

Hi all, significant bug- during decent into severe icing conditions all airspeed indicators freeze up- Captain, Standby and Copilot- alternate source does not fix the problem. All heat and anti-ice on. Only solution was to climb above the icing and the indicators come back alive. Please look into as this makes landing in icing conditions impossible.
