  1. Sometimes the brightness is turned right down on it. Then it up using BRT button on side of tablet
  2. There’s a knob on the TCAS panel bottom left that is turned to off - turn it to on by clicking it
  3. I find it generally helps to be prepared well in advance in any airliner, especially if there is a tailwind on the approach as it can really cause you problems if you hit the glide slope a bit fast. The one thing that always catches me out with this aircraft is that as soon as GS becomes active, the speed changes to selected instead of staying on managed. Worse still is that the selected speed that it takes is the speed you were doing when it changes. So many times I’ve wondered why it’s not slowing down and then I realise that it’s set to maintain 180kts Best advice I can give is to try to be no more than S Speed in 15/15 when you catch the glide slope. It should be happy enough maintaining that until you get the gear down around 7 miles out and then the speed will drop off enough to do the next 2 stages of flaps before you are 1000 above
  4. Bottom knob on transponder panel on left hand side. Turn it to on
  5. Need to press autopilot disconnect twice - toggle autopilot won’t do it. There’s a red button on the stick to press
  6. I had this happen to me once. It told me to set a pitch trim of something crazy like 1.5 and it was up in the air well before v1. Going to pay closer attention to the actual CG for setting pitch trim for takeoff as really wasn’t convinced about that one
  7. Payload page on the tablet is the only way to add fuel. Can't do it from the world map or the fuel and payload window
  8. On XBox Series X - dome light is the only cockpit light that works. Front panel lighting is non-existent. Side EFB area lighting is ok
  9. The left tank feeds the APU. So when you have the APU running on the ground, it is using fuel from the left tank
  10. The MCDU database pulls straight from the sim and I don't think the airport exists in the sim

    TCAS Fail?

    I had this happen to me on the A300-600F PW version. It was was loading in with all of the lights turned on and TCAS Fail came up when I powered up properly. Nothing I did seemed to fix it so I disabled and deleted the rolling cache on the sim and that fixed it for me

    RNAV

    You used to be able to arm RNAV approaches by being in ALT HLD mode and pressing profile. This would put P DES in blue under ALT on the PFD but now it flickers on blue and immediately goes away. I have to wait and press Profile at the exact moment that the VDEV diamond gets to the middle mark for RNAV to work. Is this a bug?
  13. Also, uploading winds from the data page puts the winds in upside down and gives top of descent wind as the airport wind
  14. Very happy with the latest A300 update but I've noticed a few things that would be worth looking into When you apply the load to the aircraft, it now places values on the INIT B page. But it seems to place the same values in to INIT B page every time (6.0 BLOCK, 96.4 ZFW, 27.0 ZFWCG) and these don't match up with what I have in simbrief and are showing on the EFB. Not sure if this is just on the PW A300F version or if common to others as have so far only flown this one ATC voices can't be heard (you know about this one) DHL livery on PW version is still a weird mess 😞
  15. I've been flying the A20N v2 a lot and occasionally the PMDG 737-800 and these 2 aircraft have something in common that the A300 doesn't have. On the N1 gauge, there is an indicator on the outside edge that shows you were your physical throttle lever is in relation to where the current set power is. This is really handy for getting the physical throttle lever into the right position for disconnecting autothrottle and would be a great addition to this aircraft if that was possible. Disconnecting the autothrottle and then moving the throttle lever to try to find the right position can destabilise approaches quite easily and is a bit of a pain
