when manually selecting a VOR on the PROG page, it reverts back to auto selection after a couple of minutes. I can not verify if the system is designed to do so (which would not make any sense), thus i suspect this to be a bug.
my understanding is that the temperature and tropopause at the TOC is inserted on the INIT A, the rest of the TP values are not entered anywhere, however they give a good indication of the atmospheric conditions (e.g. clouds tops typically are at the TP height)
1. Tropopause is written on the OFP for every single waypoint.
2. It´s not about what airline has which SOP. It´s not about immersion. Nobody cares. However, it is a functionality of the MCDU, thus i reported it as a bug.
Recommend closing the threat after one of the devs acknoledged looking into it. No further comment needed.
Alternate Fuel can not be entered during refueling, it will immediately revert to the orginial value. Also, it is not taken into account for the extra fuel calculation on the FUEL PRED page.
Tropopause altitude in the standard atmosphere is 36000 ft, which is the default value in the mcdu, however, in real life it usually isn’t 36000 ft. So for better predictions by the FMS, the actual tropopause altitude shall be entered.
Not specifically for this aircraft. however, every aircraft i´ve ever flown or worked on worked that way, as the aircraft senses and compares and maintains static pressure from the pressure ports for auto flight operations. This logic is also in use in every other airbus (real world).
