Coincidentally a video just showed in one of my social feeds which seems to be the answer - windmilling. I've never heard the term before, though I knew fans could spin freely in the breeze, but the noise is something I haven't experienced IRL. So I've learnt something new today, and if correct, well done iniBuilds, as I don't think any other aircraft I've had show this effect.

I've had a look around other user videos etc but not come across this type of sound before. This is on the PW variant on initial start from APU bleed, URL follows: A300 PW start I think the sound is fairly obvious here, sort of clanking/chuffing noise. Does this sound correct or do I have an issue perhaps? If there's an issue rooted in an install issue, I can't help but wonder if other things may be affected too. So I guess the questions are: -Is that normal? -If not. is there something in startup I've overlooked or done incorrectly? -If it doesn't sound right, can I do anything to fix it? MSFS and A300 are up to date. Video was made with no Community addons, and airport is non 3rd party. Any thoughts welcomed. Dave

I did the same thing yesterday, thinking I'd revisit the 310 before committing to the 300. CTDs, safe mode etc, then somehow I finally got it running but had black displays etc despite being take-off ready. Only change I'd made recently was Airac updates so I was scratching my head. Started digging around and amongst other discussions found this one, helping confirm I've not fully lost my mind. Today I tried the date workaround and the 310 loaded fine.
