    Really Struggling with the A350

    in Other

    Posted

    Gents, 

    Trust me I understand you all. Have you tried to check your event viewer for the CTD to narrow it down a little more. Most of the time CTD's can be narrowed down to a single file or program. If you could place the CTD via Event Viewer here maybe it would shed some light on the actual fault that would help the staff pinpoint the problem. Its a long shot. 

     

    Cheers

    Are you using DX12? I am not sure if that might be a reason, maybe the admins can speak more on that matter. I do not run DX12. I use DX11 since some add ons are not compatable or proper function with it. Again I would ask the admins about DX12.

    what res are you running the sim on?  Check your TAA and its resolution in the sim settings under general display. it if is higher than your screen res that would be someting you could adjust as well. Let me know. Also I see in your pic of the task manager your using FS Realistic. That eats your memory as well as for this is in idvidual program that requires RAM. I got ride of mine when it comes to certain add ons.

    Can you provide little more insight to your CTD? Event viewer what software version of msfs2020 . Have you tried to repair the sim? In order to understand more of what possible could be the trigger for the CTD

    For windows calibration there is a default calibration mode. 

    1. Go to Windows Search
    2. Type: Set up USB game controllers
    3. Select the TCA and click properties
    4. Click Settings then Calibrate
    5. Perform the calibration.

    For sensitivity yes 0 and 0 or what ever you default is set to. For cross bindings meaning ensuring there are no other functions set up with the controller for the purpose you would assign a function to. Hope this eases and helps more.

    Update:

    Been flying stutter free all day until the sim started to get dark - stutters came back. Rolled back the time by 1hr to daylight and stutters went again. So I think the stutters are related to night ops. 

    Try deleting your rolling cache and see if that helps at all.  I am just curious about that.

    Also try using the optimized textures from the app itself instead of the high quality texture.  I have downloaded these and it has improved the fps. Also on that note try to roll back your gpu drivers a notch.  DX12 if this is selected can cause some issues.

    Throttle Calibration Additional Information (Both TCA and VirtualFly TQ6)

    in Systems

    Posted

     

    Fellow Captains,

     

    The TCA Throttle set up works but it is finicky and you have to play a little with it. I have the Captain set up and have no problems.  In the other notes I added a few links and described that you have to do several things firdt for it to work. If these are not followed there is a higher chance it will continue to be that way. 

     

    Step one - ensure the calibration outside of the Sim has been completed.  There are 2 calibrations needed. One is the windows calibration itself and one from the TCA YouTube video.  

    Step two- update all hardware components from the TCA page  using the software that can be downloaded.

    Step three - delete any and all profiles in sim and create a new profile rename to A300 or what ever you choose. 

    Step four- ensure your sensitivity is at default and there are no cross bindings set up.

    Step five- once you load the plane in sim your TCA throttle must be at idle nothing else set to.

    Step six- press F1 on keyboard to ensure the idle detent is present 

    Step seven- go to EFB Select calibration start , set throttle max reverse first than hit the max reverse on your EFB .

    For idle reverse slightly move the throttle a little forward but not to where is goes fully idle hit select idle reverse on EFB.

    Now move to idle position select idle on EFB and finally move throttle to max hit on EFB and hit save. 

    Now once completed  if you decide to and want you can go to the config file and adjust the numbers a little but not to much. 

     

    Hope this helps. Again it's a little work but it will be fine. Coding isn't perfect and as mentioned before as expected little work must be done. Nothing is perfect. 

     

    Cheers

I have the Captain set up and have no problems.  In the other notes I added a few links and described that you have to do several things first for it to work. If these are not followed there is a higher chance it will continue to be addressed on here. Please take the 10-15 minutes time to set it up. Nothing that is plug and play automatically will work right of the bat.  You have to do your part.

    ETA for ToD still wrong

    in Systems

    Posted

    Simple fix for that is to calculate the TOD: 

    ( Current FL - Airport Elevation that you x by 3  ( 33000 ft - 364 ft = 32636 ft x 3 = 97.8 NM before Airport you would start your decent). 

    To calculate a good rate of decent would be to take your speed and ÷ by half and x by 10  ( 280 ÷2 =140 x10 = 1400 ft decent rate. ) 

     

    This is a temp solution until the team can fix it. Cheers mate. Math is part of flying.

    I posted several links above for the calibration process. You can download the TCA Config file and adjust your number accordingly.  Important is the sensitivity settings in your sim, the profile your using to calibrate , the calibration of your hardware by itself and making sure it's updated the software.  Try these first should you have problems still after making further attempts let me know.
