On the takeoff performance page, the altimeter setting is always in hPa, even after changing it to inHg on the Settings page.

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. 🙂

Are there any default MSFS commands to disconnect the autopilot, or would I need to use a 3rd party app like SPAD for that?

The shape of the switches on the clock doesn't look right, plus they are missing labels on each one. Additionally, the "DATE" label and the two flathead screws are missing, and the OFF label should be red:

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.

Yes

The last flight where this happened was from KONT to KABQ: KONT/26L RAJEE3 AVRRY DCT LANCY J134 GUP LOWBO3 KABQ/08

To add to this as well, the flight plan should also be draggable. Right now it's a hassle to move through each page.

Had a ~90-minute flight yesterday where we consumed a few quarts of fuel on each engine, and the levels were showing about 98% Today, when I loaded up the plane each oil tank was topped off back to the default capacity while the EFB still showed them at the ~98% or so level.

As the title says - I put this at 1000 feet, but upon reload it goes back to 1500 feet.

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.

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.

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.

The checklists should be able to be moved up and down by clicking and then dragging on them, instead of having to rely solely on the scrollbar.

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

The two little bugs on the oil quantity gauges take forever to move up and down, because once you start moving the scroll wheel over them the cursor loses focus and ends up zooming in or out the camera view. Some sort of better solution is needed.

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.

@Nico - Gumby, it would be nice if terms like this were spelled out in plain English on the EFB - along with other things like the METARs. By comparison, the EFB on the FBW A320 is far easier to quickly read and understand what you are looking at.

It seems these are still hit and miss on the MCDU - on my first flight I noticed they were on the flight plan page, but on a later flight they were not, even though it was the same route. Seems strange, since I was descending from FL30 to a waypoint with altitude and speed restrictions.

I am away from my gaming computer right now so I have not yet downloaded v1.03, so I wanted to ask: can we now pin charts on the EFB? If not, this would be much appreciated.

Appreciate it, thank you!

So, I've watched a few videos but I'm still a bit unsure about what the preset speed option on the front panel controls. When should I be using this option?

Yes, I have noticed every time I start a new flight those 2 settings revert to HPa and to the middle value for brightness. Will keep checking though to see if maybe I did something wrong but so far that's what I've seen.

As above - the tablet brightness and default barometric measurement settings are not saved between flights.

Updated to the latest patch, ascending to FL 370, and suddenly I'll receive a warning message on the MCDU before everything shuts down. No payload other than fuel and the two pilots.
