  1. When performing a go-around after a missed approach, I cannot seem to get the plane to hold a steady altitude, even though I've dialed in a low altitude per the missed approach instructions on the approach plate and engaged altitude hold. Is there a certain procedure I should follow in times like this?

  2. Per this item in the update notes: Oil replenishes itself between flights.

    It doesn't look like this is fixed - after I landed and shut down last night, the oil level went back up to what it was before we took off. This was after an approximately 60-minute flight.

  3. I just purchased GSX last night and so I wanted to see how it interacts with the A300 freighter. Overall it looks good, but I had a few questions:
     

    • To not have containers automatically loaded, I should input the total weight of the freight I want to carry on the EFB but not click on "Apply Load" on the Weight and Balance page?
    • Refueling: it looks like right now the only option is to use the blue popup screen when the truck parks next to the plane. Is that correct?

    Any other tips for using GSX with the A300 would be much appreciated. 🙂

    Yes, you can see the charts/ofp on the EFB, however the plane itself uses the in-sim data for the FMC, currently.  INI has said they will look to adding Navigraph FMC data, but no timeframe or commitment to actually do so.  

    Mmm...the FMS page on the MCDU says it is using the 25 January - 22 February AIRAC cycle, which is the current one.

  5. My 2 cents as someone who's been a beta tester for other flight sims going on 10-plus years: no, it's not the customer's job to find out what is causing a bug/crash, etc., but it's very helpful if customers can at least provide some baseline information about how & when an issue is occurring. Otherwise, developers can end up spending an inordinate amount of time trying to chase down how and/or why a bug is occurring. I can only imagine how complex a plane like the A300 is to ensure everything is working as it should.

  6. Hmm, looks like this is an issue when trying runway starts. Any way this could be looked at and fixed? Sometimes I like to check things without doing a full startup sequence, but these constant CTDs prevent that.

  7. Hmm, it looks like there is some sort of conflict between the KONT payware scenery and the A300. Loading up at a default airport like KSBD causes no problems.

  8. After this latest update, the plane constantly crashes when trying to load a flight. For whatever reason, this will happen 2 or 3 times before it finally decides to load properly.

    This never happens with the 310, so it makes me wonder what is different here.

    After 4 flights with the passenger version, for my first with the freighter I realized that the maintenance effects are not airframe specific (had worn tires, required engine oil servicing).  I think they should be.

    Agreed, per-livery maintenance would be much better than what we have now.

  10. Right now, the EFB just gives you the raw readout of METARS instead of translating them into plain English, like on the FBW A320 EFB. Similar deal with the terms on the Load & Balance page - it's a bunch of upper-case acronyms that - at least for those not well-versed in aviation terminology - can be difficult to decipher. A more readable option for things like this would be much appreciated.
