The sound for the red AP disconnect button on the yoke has no sound right now.

Two things I noticed tonight: The "push to sync" the heading knob is reversed (it's now pull to sync) The console flood lights are on at the beginning of every flight (originally reported as an issue with the 2020 version)

I'll try that when I get a chance, thanks.

Nope, no dice. I tried for instance "Parking Brake On" and "Parking Brake Off", with a clean controller profile, and nothing happened.

Alright, I'll give it another try when I can.

It might be because the knobs aren't animated - I tried the default inputs (i.e., those not created by a third-party profile), and those work fine, although the knobs will not rotate.

All of those commands are in the default MSFS commands menu but none of them actually do anything in the A300.

There are a few sets of default commands that do not work with the plane: - Beacon Light On / Beacon Light Off - Taxi Light On / Taxi Light Off - Parking Brake On / Parking Brake Off

Two things: 1. It seems the APU can run indefinitely with one of the fuel pumps running. That doesn't seem right 2. Internal temperature display: is the cabin temperature supposed to be shown on the CRT screen when the rotary knob is set to something other than "CRT"?

WASM is a code format used in MSFS for a number of planes. Unfortunately it turns the A300 into a plane that may be rendered unusable at any moment.

Okay, now it's working - the cockpit door has to be open to be able to hear it (PW freighter).

Nope, didn't work - did a full uninstall and reinstall and deleted the work folder, but the same problem is still there.

I've not tried that yet, no. Guess I'll give that a try next...

I dunno what to think, then. I'm not running any sort of sound or other enhancement mods that would cause an issue.

Addendum to the above: it still only chimes once.

Wait, now it's working again... 🤪

Alright, I cleared it out (second time I've done this) and...no dice - except now the chime doesn't play at all and the autopilot disconnect button sound on the stick only plays once.

I attempted today to map the FCU knobs for altitude and heading to a couple of encoder knobs on my controller, with the Axis and Ohs scripts I downloaded from flightsim.to a while ago and work fine for some other commands I have mapped. However, for these two FCU knobs, the increase and decrease buttons do not work at all. I thought maybe it was because they are encoders, but trying to map them to momentary switches didn't produce any solution - the knobs just sit there idle. There are two different AAO scripts out there for the A300 on flightsim.to and I tried both sets of scripts, but neither of them would work.

Got it. 👍🏻 BTW, this is yet another reason why we need better documentation with these planes that explains these sorts of things. I've been landing the A300 this way since day 1 because nothing in the print documentation or official videos anywhere makes mention of this (that ATHR should remain on only for auto-landings). It would save a lot of time and frustration on the player's part if these sorts of things were explained in better detail.

EDIT: the system as I understand, will start to move the throttles to idle at about 30 ft AGL and then disengage when the wheels hit the ground, when LAND mode is engaged.

Thanks, and yes what I'm doing is keeping the autopilot on til about 500 feet, then clicking off the autopilot and guiding the plane down with ATHR still engaged. From what I understand, the ATHR system will disengage at about 30 feet AGL when LAND is engaged.

Sorry, double-post.

Yes, both LAND mode and the ATHR system was engaged at the point of touchdown, as this was an ILS landing. I was also in selected speed mode. Speedbrakes and autobrakes were also armed. I can't recall any other details. If if happens again I'll try to take screenshots, but that can be tricky when trying to figure out what's going on (also of course the frustration, since it was a good landing, right down the centerline with no bounces). Otherwise, the only consistent detail in both these incidents is that both were landings at KMEM (BM-AmSim). In between I landed without incident at FlyTampa KBOS on an ILS in the rain with zero problems.

And it happened again - same conditions as before, landed normally, speed brakes armed, auto brakes Low, etc, etc. Plane just went full bore down the runway and had no intention of slowing down. There is some sort of problem here.

Yes, I'm thinking it was some weird one-off bug, because I've not had a problem since with my two ILS landings. Auto throttles were definitely on. Anyhow, will keep an eye out to see if it happens again.
