A300F FMC frozen after 5 mins
Did you enter in a route yet before it froze? What route?

RMI - Selected Heading Index INOP
On the RMI, the Selected Heading Index is INOP. It is modeled, but it is always at the 12 o’clock position. It should move with the HDG select knob on the FCU panel (except when unpowered).

TRP - Auto mode
Auto mode on the TRP doesn’t switch to CL thrust in in a cruise step climb - It stays in CR.

Mach PreSelect
When climbing in LVL CHG mode w/ a Mach pre-select, Mach mode fails to engage at the speed/mach crossover altitude. I am following the following procedures:

RMI DME Darkens depending on viewpoint
The DME indicators on the RMI darken when in the normal pilot position. They are noticeably brighter when the camera is moved right next to them. They are extremely hard to read when in the normal pilot position as a result.

Cabin Ready Notification
Would add a nice bit of realism to have (on the Passenger variant) a flight attendant voice say something to the effect of “Captain, the cabin is secure.” Since the EFB recognizes Simbrief departure time, it could be triggered via that. However, the departure time on the EFB would need to be tuned to pushback time and not wheels up time. Honestly, it should be pushback time anyways as this is what matters in most operations. I think these little things would add so much to the experience. Really makes you feel like you’re preparing a large ship for a long journey. For example, it could work as follows: *5min prior to Simbrief pushback time* *cockpit door open* *on the ground* *engines off* as the trigger 1.) Flight attendant audio plays “Captain, the cabin is secure” 2.) Cockpit door closes

Battery Flow Bars
I’ll wait for for Agent_Wurst to respond, but the one thing I would add while waiting for his response is to check the battery amperages when the bars are visible. If the batteries are charging, there should be an amperage indication. I was using the meter gauges to check and it appeared to be 0. Admittedly, I didn’t check the ECAM DC page. I’m away at work now, but will check once I get home.

Missing Flags Analogue Gauges
When power is removed from the aircraft (C/D), there are various flags missing on the instruments. Example #1 - The little ‘VIB’ vibration flag on the standby altimeter Example #2 - The counting indicator on the clocks should have a red ‘OFF’ flag when power is removed. Example #3 - The RMIs are missing the center HDG flag when power is removed. Also, the two little VOR flags on the left and right could be a little more prominent than they are now. There is also a little orange heading bug which does appear to be modeled in the inI A300. However, this little orange heading bug should move to the 6 o’clock position when power is removed. Finally, the DME counters should have an orange/white hatched flag over them when power is removed. Example #4 - The flags on the ADF RMIs could be a little bit more prominent. They are barely visible now, but they do appear to be modeled. Example #5 - I believe the Standby artificial horizon should have some sort of flag, but I cannot find specific reference material to the type of standby horizon you have modeled. For this one, you may want to check your reference material to see if this one has a flag when powered off. Cheers, Rob

ENG Bleed Flow Bars (Cont'd)
Thanks Nico! He flies these in real life.

Speed PreSet Persists in Profile
When climbing, the Speed PreSet (250 in my last case) has stayed illuminated after selecting Profile mode. It only extinguished when nearly reaching my cruise altitude. From what I read in the manual, I believe the PreSet speed should cancel when entering Profile mode?

AP Engaged Causes Oscillation
I’ve also noticed a sharp downward pitch of 2-3 degrees before the autopilot can get her under control.

Missing the Mangenta LDG inhibit on Memo display.
Not getting the TO INHBT medsage either.

Missing the Mangenta LDG inhibit on Memo display.
Okay, seems I'm not getting these either.

EFB Performance Layout/Format
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.

FMS & System freezing on STAR Load/Weight input
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

APU Integrated LP Fuel Pump Switch Backwards
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.

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

DC ESS BUS during Standby Generator Test
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.

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

Elevators not dropping down with hyd. power off
I guess the same can be said about the rudder, it should also move in the wind with hydraulic power removed.

Battery Flow Bars
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

PROFILE CLB did't follow the restriction
Out of curiosity, I’m wondering if the EPIC mod has this capability?
