Yes, it's WASM, but because this is the A300 and not the A350 it doesn't have any priority right now.

Then you're out of luck.

Yes, all the hype has been for the A350. This is a shameful way to support a product marketed as Premium. It isn't.

BATC has a new update where the aircraft's radio is controlled by the COM1, 2, etc volume and reception /transmission knobs. This does not work correct with either radio stack right now.

I'm going to be as civil as I can here, but still, I feel the need to say it: the Premium version of the A300 as it is marketed right now doesn't deserve the tag of being called a "Premium" plane at all. I originally bought the A300 for 2020 not long after it was released, and so I went through all the hassles of the random crashes on loading, issues with sound, etc., etc. On the eve of 2024 releasing last year, though, it was a reasonably stable plane, with WASM crashes being mostly eliminated. Enter the 2024 "Premium" version. It has been plagued with issues since day 1, such as: WASM crashes are more frequent than the last version I played on 2020 Freezes on exiting every single flight Has major reflection issues with the windscreen, especially at night. Has various audio issues, like missing sounds from the landing gear when taking off, engine fan blade spinning sound playing with the covers on, missing AP disconnect switch sounds, etc. An issue with importing wind speeds that was originally reported in 2020 is still present in the 2024 version. And so that all leads me to tonight. As for a lot of people I'm sure, it's a work night, but hey, I had enough time to get in a short flight. So I go through the normal startup routine, get to the Progress page, start to type in my airport information and...WASM crash. Exit out (but first, of course, having to force-close the sim because it freezes up), restart my flight, make sure to avoid the Progress page and we're looking good. We complete the engine start, I shut off the starter switch and..."Low Yellow Hydraulic Pressure." Eww, okay, never seen this one before. Bunch of error messages but the plane's still controllable on the ground, we got this. Take off no issues, go to engage autopilot and...oh, that's wonderful - low yellow hydraulic pressure means the autopilot won't engage, i.e., this plane would have never even left the ground in reality. At this point I've had enough and punch out (after, of course, force-closing MSFS 24 once again). So, that was about an hour and a half of my time wasted tonight with a WASM crash and a borked hydraulic bug that I see was reported long ago but still hasn't been fixed. I'm not going to go back in now and try again, as it's less than an hour til midnight and it's just about time to head off to bed. iniBuilds, you have some major quality control issues you need to fix with your planes if you expect me to buy any more aircraft from you in the future. It bugs me to no end that things like this persist after this long, even though they are marketed as these wonderful things with tags like "Premium". They aren't. The A300 right now I would call an early-mid beta plane with issues that still are in urgent need of attention. Fix your stuff already so we can enjoy them like they are meant to be.

Oh, and this is wonderful as well: when this issue pops up, the autopilot is INOP, i.e., the plane wouldn't be able to be dispatched in reality. Wow, just wow.

I encountered this same issue tonight. GE freighter version.

A300 GE freighter, Memphis, attempting to enter airport information on the progress page. This is really getting old for a plane being sold as "Premium."

The captain's DH button has to be pressed several times before it will turn green and the player can enter a decision height value.

Cheers, thank you!

Per the title, the APU can run with the required fuel pump shut off.

Sincerely appreciate the reply, thank you. 👍🏻

So why was it released with this issue? This isn't some minor texture bug - it's quite literally in the player's face, 100 percent of the time.

"A host of liveries". C'mon, @IniSteve, you have fewer liveries available now for the plane than we had in the original 2020 version, and it's now been a month since I posted my question above. Are more liveries coming for it in 2024 or not?

It's broken right now.

Three and a half weeks later, yeah, I'm just going to say it now - this is really pathetic. The plane still has random crashes, has giant blobs floating across the windscreen, CTDs whenever you exit a flight, has fewer liveries than 2020, but hey! It's Premium! Sorry Ini, but this isn't "Premium" in any sense of the word.

Acknowledged as an issue when it was released CTDs on exit).

Hello, anyone?

In 2024 there are double windsocks all over the airport, including these two.

Sure would be nice to have an official answer to this...

In the 2020 version there were/are FedEx liveries for both variants, but right now we have just one, for the GE version. When will there be more for us to download from the app?

The crash happened at the exact same time and phase of flight - powered up, on the ground at the ramp. I had just completed entering the takeoff performance numbers and moved to the Progress page to enter on the right-hand side my reference point (KMEM36C). In both instances MSFS froze as I was typing that information.

And...once again. same page, same information, crash. For goodness sake, if you're going to call an aircraft premium, make sure it works right before releasing it and charging money for it. I've now wasted an hour of my night dealing with this. Thanks.

This was the second time tonight while I was entering information on the MCDU that the plane froze up and the game crashed on me. This time it was while entering information on the Progress page. I hope the team is aware of stuff like this going on and has a fix planned, because it's really annoying to spend all that time preparing for nothing. 😠

There is some grass coming up through the concrete at 01L.
