Aircraft A350...not sure why this is on the A300-600 forum.

Not sure what the above says, but by the title yes. Go to the planes folder in the packages (wherever it is on your system). On mine for 2020 it is YOUR SIM FOLDER/Local State/Packages Under the folder for the A350 you will see files like .cache .dll .lib and .obj. Everything NOT in the WORK folder. Delete those. They will rebuild when you load the plane into the sim.

Nothing to add. I just wanted to congratulate you on the use of BORKED. One of my all-time favorite words right up there with FUBAR and a gem from the golden age of the 80s!

Interesting. Still, I don't trust the sim to either remember (apparently rightfully so) nor do I like the limitations and clunkiness of setting up controls there. My in-sim bindings are the same for everything and they are only views for my hat switches. All else, in Axis and Ohs. After recent computer build, I was up and running with my controller assignments in less than one minute.

As far as I know, 2024 is like 2020. You can save a profile but have to remember to change it based on the plane you are going to fly. A BIG pain. I use Axis and Ohs and it remembers the profile you assign down to the level of the livery. It works for ALL aircraft, paid and default. It also allows you to do things like use your voice to interact with the plane and create scripts to do multiple things in a given order and each thing at a given time that you decide. SpadNext does the same things and what it comes down to is which interface you prefer.

However I believe that hydraulic pumps are like Meatloaf. Two Out of Three Ain't Bad

confirmed.

Time and money. How much would you be willing to spend on this addition to a freeware aircraft? If nothing, then it is not that important for realism, is it?

Published information shows 350-400 million dollars. My guess is that the INI version will be somewhat less than that.

Never was an "issue".

Not many controllers have an actual reverse throttle axis. If you have one of the majority controllers without, doing this will add a fake amount of axis as a reverse and cause many to go in and out of reverse at the most inopportune moments imaginable.

The shortcomings of the sim (ASOBO/Microsoft issue) related to the data that is available to create a weather radar are well known. Just be aware that those that talk about how this radar or that radar works or should work, do not know what a weather radar is, how it works and what it should display at the various tilts/gains/settings. They see green, red and yellow blobs on a screen and think "wow this works". They are wrong.

Since others have seen this, care to let us know what the culprit was?

There has got to be a local issue/conflict here. I start cold and dark and never have seen this on any version. I would start with control bindings even/especially if you think there is no issue there. Next, empty your community folder. Completely empty it and only use the house livery. You can empty the folder by simply copying and pasting the contents to another location, however if you want to take control and master you community folder and addons, use MSFSAddons Linker from flightsim.to. This way you can quickly add things back in however I would recommend you keep your sim as debloated as possible. There are many advantages to this. I only start the sim with the two airports I am using (if addons), the plane and livery I will use. That's it. (Navigraph is always loaded).

Since no new update has been published, everyone is awaiting a new update. The moment that new update is published; everyone will be awaiting yet another new update. Since that is reality, I am not sure of the purpose of these types of posts.
