This screenshot was taken at the SID OPKC RWY 25L BADU1D: As you can see, the altitude intercept point (FL070) was drawn on a path resembling the actual curved flight path instead of the straight path on the right. I wonder, if this is actually correct, since the A300 cannot draw a curved flight path. On a related note, the path on the ND looks surprisingly bendy when performing a direct to...

The TCAS STBY ECAM message disappears as soon as the transponder is switched to XPDR. Is this actually correct? At that point only the transponder would be on, but TCAS would still be in standby mode. I would have expected the message to only disappear if the switch is moved to TA/RA or TA.

Could it be, that the APU fuel tank is hardcoded an does not follow the actual tank configuration? Here I managed the pumps to feed the APU from the center tank: Yet it only drew fuel from the left outer tank: I remember back when we had the bug that the APU could not be shut off, I also was unable to crossfeed it from the right tanks. It looks like it is somehow hardcoded.

Hello, I selected the SID SADA1B (Runway 27) with the IZA transition at DAAG. That intercept point is not correct, it should be to the north of the airport, not 30 miles south: I'm using Navigraph AIRAC 2501.

I have just tried it out again after the last update and the INIT B page is no longer getting filled by the acars request. I assume this was actually a bug and not the intended behavior. It now works again like it used to and is fine for me. If you have an open issue on your side, it can be closed. Sorry for the fuss!

Turn on the APU master switch and press the start button. Then turn the APU master switch off again, while the ACCEL light is shown. The APU now keeps its current RPM and consumes fuel for hours: It resumes the start process where it left off when the master switch is turned on again and start is pressed. Instead, I would have expected the APU to turn off when the master switch is set to off.

Hello, I just started flying the A300 again and in my last two flights, the INIT B page got filled with some nonsensical values: I'm not using the acars function anymore and this screenshot was taken after the INIT A page was filled an nothing else. Where do these values come from and what can I do to prevent the init B page from getting filled?

Hello, I made some landing calculations for EKCH. This is flaps 40: And this is flaps 20, otherwise with the same parameters: I Is it correct that flaps 20 requires less landing distance than flaps 40, despite the approach speed being about 10 knots faster?

Have you considered using the CO Route field to load the route? It would be ok, if it would load a locally stored flight plan. It just gets really annoying having to input long routes manually for every single flight.

I always found it weird, that the APU page is not displayed automatically. This is caused by the ECAM door warnings, giving the DOORS page a higher priority. Now, I'm not sure if I'm correct, because this issue should have been noticed by the advising A300 pilots, but the way how I interpret the FCOM, the door warnings should be inhibited until the second engine is started:

I have programmed the SID GMMN/RW35R SADI1D. Scrolling through the waypoints in PLAN mode, I noticed that the CBL VOR on the ND jumps around. In the first screenshot, it is to the north of the runway, in the second screenshot, it is close to the runway threshold and in the third screenshot it is southwest of the runway. It looks like the relative distance to the center of the ND uses a wrong factor.

Back in the old days, requesting Simbrief data from the ACARS page only filled the route. Now it seems that it fills out everything. Is there any way to request the route only?

I think this makes the problem worse. Before you could just ignore the ILS and make a safe visual landing. Now you need to ignore the ILS and the PAPI as well and this makes visual landings even more difficult. Since landings in VMC are much more common, I would prefer if the PAPI is right for that.

I agree. I would also really appreciate, if all gates would be available please.

I flew a holding and then wanted to leave the holding. I pressed IMM EXIT* on the LEGs page. What happend was that the VERT REV page opened and the aircraft continued to fly the holding. I would have expected it to leave the holding. I was able to leave the holding with a direct to the next waypoint.
