Sorry for the delay! Had a busy week and didn’t get a chance to use the sim till today. I just tried again and had the same result. This was at KMIA instead of KSNA, and I was using the pax version instead of the cargo version, but I followed the same process: THR RED altitude set to 1500 AGL, ACCEL altitude set to 3000 AGL. At 1500’ the a/c maintained V2+20, but the TRP stayed in AUTO/FLEX mode instead of switching to CL. At 3000’, the TRP switched to CL and the a/c accelerated to 250 kts. Hope that’s helpful—let me know if I should try anything else! Also, I updated to v1.0.2 before this latest flight.

Hi! No, not yet, I should be able to test it tomorrow, though. I’ll report back!

Just tried an NADP1 takeoff out of KSNA, but it was unsuccessful. When entering my v speeds before departure, I changed the Thrust Reduction height to 800' AGL and the Acceleration height to 3000' AGL. Took off with Profile mode activated on the FCP. At 800 ft, the TRP did not switch from Flex to Climb mode. I tried to manually force it by first changing the TRP mode to "auto", which did nothing, then to "CL". This reduced the thrust, but it also overrode my acceleration height and the nose went down to accelerate to 250 kts. I can try it again another time to see if I can reproduce it, but I'm curious if anyone else has encountered the same problem. It seems like the TRP is following whatever's set in the EFB, not what's being entered into the FMS (FMGC?).

That's because KRNO's runway designations recently changed, but it hasn't been updated in the sim, so the latest navdata has all of the procedures pointing to runways that don't exist in the sim. All of the SIDs/STARs point to runways 17L/35R & 17R/35L, but the sim still calls those runways 16L/34R & 16R/34L.

Hm, interesting…well, at least I know I’m using the right key bindings! I’ll take a look at it again and see if there’s a problem with my controller. Thanks for the response!

Hello, I use a HOTAS controller that doesn’t have a separate flaps lever, so I’ve assigned two buttons on the throttle quadrant to the “increase flaps” and “decrease flaps” commands in MSFS. On every other a/c I’ve flown in MSFS, these commands will set the flaps lever in increments of +/-1, but on the A310 these commands don’t do anything—I have to use my mouse to manually move the flaps lever. Is there something I’m doing wrong with my controls setup? Thanks!
