Just a suggestion, but I think I much prefer the Performance page layout, colors, fonts, etc. on the XPlane version of the A300 over the MSFS version. The XPlane version seems to be much closer in appearance to real performance calculators I am familiar with. So my suggestion would be, if viable, to make the performance page of the EFB more closely resemble the XPlane version. The colors, and especially the bold fonts, are easier to read in my opinion. I attached a photo of the real-World FedEx A300 performance tool for reference.

Hello, I’ve been having issues with LFSB as well. Seems to be linked to selecting the ILS RWY 15 approaches in the FMS. The ILS 33 approaches seem to work and also the RNAV 15 approaches work. I have not tried the VOR 15 yet. Josh responded to my thread on this on the Discord server, so the team is aware and looking for a fix. So workaround for now is to just select the RNAV approach at LFSB. Cheers, Rob

The APU fuel pump switch is backwards in the simulator. It should be in AUTO when pushed in and OVRD when released out. Please see attached photo for reference.

Thank you. I only asked because when doing the STBY generator test, it says to make sure the battery flow bars are extinguished.

Thanks for the clarification! Would it be amber after the test is complete? Just trying to figure out what is meant by that note in the Thai manual.

Here’s a photo for reference. APU bleed switch is OFF and engines are also OFF, ENG Bleed flow bars showing.

I guess the same can be said about the rudder, it should also move in the wind with hydraulic power removed.

From a C/D state, after turning the battery switches to auto/on and connecting external power to the electrical system, I’ve noticed that the battery flow bars are still visible for quite a long period of time. I was just curious as to what the reason is for this and if it is correct. The only reason I could think of as to why they would be visible at this stage is to charge the batteries. However, on the DC ECAM page and also on the DC Meters, all 3 batteries are showing amperages of 0, so they are not charging. Also, they all have more than 25v charge. Yet, the flow bars still remain. They do eventually turn off after a long time. Is this extended time period correct behavior? @Agent_Wurst

Out of curiosity, I’m wondering if the EPIC mod has this capability?

I think this would be a good topic to mention it in, but the MCP lights also illuminate the center window column. Here are two photos with and without the MCP lights on.

The gauges on the oxygen panel do not appear to have any backlighting at night. I would imagine that they should look similar to the hydraulic quantity gauges at night. Please see attached photo for reference.

Yeah, I could have worded it better. I meant to try the test with both OVRD Supply Switches 1 & 2 separately. The tests in the sim work differently for each switch, but neither one is quite correct. Cheers, Rob

Also, it wasn’t clear from my manuals, but from having used similar units before, shouldn’t all displays show 8’s during the test to make sure all of the light filaments work?

During the ND Test, the following items do not appear on the ECAM as they should. Please see attached image for reference.

The cockpit door also affects this. Try opening the cockpit door and see if you hear them then.

I noticed today that while in daylight conditions, with the sun shining in the cockpit, the alpha-numeric lcd displays on the radio panels can be very difficult to read. I understand that direct sunlight can make these harder to read in real life, but perhaps just a bit more brightness would be nice.

The passenger windows seem to be tinted. This makes the outside World look a bit dull in the daytime and harder to see at night. Would it be possible to remove the dark tint so that they appear more like the cockpit windows from inside?

Ahh, nvm, I found it

Where do you see it posted? I don’t see it in the support section at all.

The Static Inverter test does not perform as indicated in the manual. Please see attached photo to replicate. Try performing with both OVRD SUPPLY switches 1 & 2.

When moving the Display Select switch to TEST, the light bars on the ENT & CLR buttons do not light up. Please see attached photos for reference.

On the ground, when the APU Bleed switch is OFF, even if the engines are not running and producing any bleed air, the ENG Bleed flow bars should be visible. Please see attached photos for reference.

The FWD CARGO Temperature selector is positioned full-cold and does not have any click-spots to move it. All of the other temperature switches move, except this one. This is in the passenger variant. I have not tested it in the freighter variant yet. Please see attached photo for reference.

Currently, there is no way to cool (or heat) the cabin on the ground without the APU running. While it doesn't affect how I fly the aircraft, these little things add to the realism and sense of preparing the ship for a long flight with passengers and your competitors have them added in. Getting the cabin ready is an important part of the pre-flight and it would be nice to be able to do this without starting the APU as happens most of the time in real life. I would love to see the following added in the future. 1.) External Pneumatic Air (High Pressure Start Cart) - This was available in the MSFS A310, so I'm curious why it is excluded here in the A300. j 2.) External Pre-Conditioned Air - This was not available in either the MSFS A310 nor the A300, but as it is the most common way to condition an aircraft at the gate in real-life, I really think it should be added as an option. Please see the following photo as a simple reference to show why these are an important part of the pre-flight process.
