B320Max8

i have it right here besides me. Sadly quite a few things regarding the AFS don´t work as laid out in the FCOM. Threre´s a few posts where i point those out. This could be because they aren´t modelled or, and i want to stress that, i don´t understand them correctly or the FCOM simply depicts a revised version. My point is, that a brief summary in form of a manual, depicting the basic functions, isn´t that far fetched of an idea. regards

Hi all, we now have this great a300 rendition but would it be possible to come up with a manual that actually described the (at least the autoflight) system? I think this would be beneficial in that it would eliminate probably 50% of the questions asked in the systems category (and almost a 100% asked by myself) without caonsulting an actual FCOM?? Because maybe all these "bugs" and anomalies reported is just us users not knowing how to operate the plane correctly? I sure wouldn´t have been able to learn the BAe146 without the included manual, given the lack of real world videos on YT. regards!

Then again, this could all be down to me not understanding the system correctly, coming from the likes of the Pmdg 737. But why not just give us a 100 page or so manual, detailing the basic AFS functions???

@Crabby pulling the alt knob doesn´t arm anything on my end. At least not in regards as to what "arming" should look like in an Airbus FMA...

@Holger i have to apologize, you seem to be right. I didn´t manage to fly an rnav too. The only way i got the plane to descend from the FAF was dis- and reengaging Profile mode. Which doesn´t feel right, does it. MDA had been entered correctly. I think i will make a video of this, maybe i don´t understand the system correctly...

I just noticed that I missread the OP's post. He did say ecaxtely that. Thought he meant it SHOULD correlate with the thrust setting. Sorry for the confusion

Well, I only know how it works in the 737. When using an ILS you can set the missed approach altitude as soon as the plane is established on the glide. When on an rnav approach you can set it at 1000 feet. Setting it earlier while result in the plane climbing again. Haven't flown an rnav in the a300 yet...

Because, at least on modern engines, it doesn't have to do with how far the reverser cowl slides back. Reverse increases n2 and therefore increases the volume of the bypass (cold stream) air. Maybe an a300/ge expert can verify this

As for the actual problem: could be a bug or deliberate,one never knows for sure. 😂I will check it myself

Hi! First of all: there is no approach and land mode. Only loc and land. You can arm "land" without arming loc first But why would you arm these on an rnav approach? 🤔 Second. Why would the plane descend below 3000 when that's the altitude that's been set in the mcp? You would have to set it to the MDA (+ a few feet to account for reaction time). It's always useful to keep track of the FMA announcements, it really helps understanding what the system does at any given moment

Switching to xfeed alone won't do anything since the system won't know which tank you want use. If you want a specific tank to be drained you would have to switch the pumps of the other tank to "off"

Hi! Can somebody confirm? Tried 2 airports. Second one LDZD, see attachment

my experience is that it isn´t saved between airframes...

yeah, why even bother explaining things like that...

You don´t happen to know what auto rudder disc actually does (besides deciding between realistic and unrealistic tiller behaviour?)😑 Also: what do you mean by "i do"? On or off? Off is the setting that worked for me...

works if AC power was established...

Hi! No "Squib" light on 1 & 2. APU does work though. Could somebody pls cross check? Have a nice weekend, y´all

What's you setting for "auto rudder disconnect"? I had this behaviour starting with 1.02 and switching it off restored rudder sensitivity. Would you report back if it helped, because I gave this hint several times but didn't hear back from the OPs. Just curious if it really does help...

@Nico - Gumby it worked after I entered dep and arrival airport into the Cdu. I THINK this wasn't necessary until 1.03 ... As for the simbrief alias: why was my ID stored in the EFB then? Good update, all in all!

same here. speed bug moveable, but no digits in the window

@SomeonesSonturn off "auto tiller disconnect" Don´t know what it does but for me it helped. This behaviour suddenly appeared after 1.02

Hi! It doesn´t seem to recognize the airport the planes i currently situated? Is this now the A310 calculator where i have to input the TORA??? It also doesn´t seem tho want my simbrief ID. "unknown userid" regards

then again...

"save for"

By now i wonder if anything but the most basic functions modeled... safe for the slides
