I have noticed that in cruise, the engine blades are spinning very slowly as though they were windmilling in a way that you would expect to see on the ground at the gate. Xbox 1.1.8

I just mentioned this in another thread that I started on the A350 1.1.8 on Xbox but I am having to manually enter the ILS code into the NAV AID page every time. I'm using the sim default nav data as the navigraph data won't update since SU4 but it's been this way since the 1.1.8 update. I have tried multiple airports both 3rd party and default and encountered the issue every time

I know we're an update behind but I don't see anything about these on the 1.1.9 PC changelog so here goes: The aircraft keeps trying to go to 1+F flaps setting. Climb outs close to the max speed for 1+F cause the flaps to constantly retract and extend between 1 and 1+F as speed fluctuates. On approach, you select flaps 1 and once it gets there, it automatically then goes to 1+F which it shouldn't do The ILS never populates itself on the NAV AID page. I always have to do this manually during the descent And finally, since SU4, I can't get the -1000 engines to start. The red line appears on the EGT gauge as normal but nothing happens. No such issue on the -900

Took the PAX version for a flight last night and performance is better than it was thanks for SU4 but still has some work to do to get it to being enjoyable to use like the rest of the airbus family (inc. A350). But while I'm here, we still don't really have any liveries on Xbox. None of the livery packs are compatible and the base aircraft only includes 1 livery per type (FedEx on 300F PW, Hong Kong on the 300F GE, Monarch and Thai on the 300 PW and Emirates on the 300 GE) which is significantly fewer than the base aircraft on 2020

I really hope this aircraft finally gets updated with SU16.1 appears as there is much that is fixed on the FS24 version. But while I have managed some RNAV approaches in this on 2020, it seems to be a bit hit or miss. Yesterday I was doing 22R at Nice LFMN and APP NAV remained blue so I had to hand fly the whole approach from the FAF. Vertical deviation showed correctly on the PFD

Yeah it probably got auto-deleted after this time. I’ll see if I can do another and get that onto YouTube so it stays. But the key is to have your FCU altitude set as the final approach altitude on the charts. So for runway 21 at LFRS you need to be at 3000ft by waypoint FRS21 in approach mode on the MCDU and with flaps 3 and gear down

Need to test this in 2024 as well but last night on 2020 I had my first go-around in a long time and it was an RNAV approach into EFHK runway 33. First approach the RNAV engaged perfectly and there were no issues. But I floated it half way down the runway due to gusting winds and went around for another go. On my second approach having set it up again, Alt and Nav remained green with the RNAV indicators remaining blue. Vertical deviation box was working so I just followed that manually

Here’s the video of it working into Nantes LFRS 21 https://www.xbox.com/play/media/aZuRixYhq7

Doing LFRS 21 right now on 2020 and I was in approach mode (minimums 827 set) with gear down and flaps 3 before FRS21 waypoint and FINAL APP worked fine

Got any examples I could try? I’ve done a few recently with no problems but I’m flitting between 2020 and 2024 so can’t remember which sim I’ve done what on

Version 1.1.4 on XBox - still getting the "the cockpit is ready for landing" announcement when climbing through 1000ft after takeoff

It is still a problem after SU16. Still need toggle glareshield and toggle pedestal lights buttons to get them to work

It's a WASM crash and the default inibuilds aircraft are very prone to it. The safest thing you can do is enter your approach routing while on the ground setting up the flight. At the very least, make sure you are several hundred miles away from the arrival airport when you do it

There is an issue with this aircraft on 2020 that they said would be fixed on the sim update and wasn't. If you spawn cold and dark, the glareshield lights are turned off by a button that doesn't exist in the cockpit. If you spawn on the runway, the dome and pedestal lights have the same issue. What you need to do is go into control settings and assign 2 buttons - "toggle glareshield lights" and "toggle pedestal lights". Now load in, turn up the light knobs and then press those buttons and voila, light
