[Sudden loss of control 2.0 (Plane falls out of the sky) Part 2]

Yes; we have a new version of the bug:

Planned a flight from PANC to RJAA. After ~5 hrs of flight FD1 went OFF with the red "FD1" displayed and crosshairs missing. Fortunately "Capt sw" works and transferred FD2 to cpt side. Then I noticed that all  fuel from inner tanks disappeared, only outer and 1 ton in ctr remained. 

I used the sec FP and programmed a new route to RJCK, where landed with 3.4 tons remaining.

I was lucky not to find the a/c in the water scratching my head what went wrong, as I usually during long flights  leave the AP to fly unattended most of the time.

Although I admit handling the fuel emergency was terrific fun, something is wrong and has to be fixed...

 

[DME ARCs: Oh dear!]

There are still problems after 1.0.9:

The a/c follows the arc only when there are no waypoints near the start or in the arc. 

If waypoints are near or in the arc the ap seems to be confused, makes a circle and then steers to a random direction.

Example arrival TIGRA2T to LGKR:

When reaching D276W turns right to  a circle, If you select a direct to "intercept" wp it enters the arc, follows it but when reaching D189T it makes a turn and moves away again. 

The full plan:

LIRN/24 GALT8J GALTI M742 LUXIL L995 KAPPO M603 XAPAT Q772 TIGRA TIGR2T LGKR/DIREX.R34

[DME ARCs: Oh dear!]

This is a known issue, DME arcs not working, to be fixed, (lets hope)...

[Fuel leak]

Tested and I confirm all the above.

[AI Co-pilot Comms]

Same here, that's how it works for me since ethe first version, but I think it is a feature not a bug.

[Sudden loss of control 2.0 (Plane falls out of the sky) Part 2]

For me has happened 6 times out of 75 flights since release. The rate is not so annoying, but I hope it is fixed one day. 🙂 

[Sudden loss of control 2.0 (Plane falls out of the sky) Part 2]

It is PC, but I dont think there is any actual difference between 1.0.7 and 1.0.8

[Sudden loss of control 2.0 (Plane falls out of the sky) Part 2]

Unfortunately not fixed...

My first flight with 1.0.7, the bug occurred on the ground. While I was taxing for t/off the a/c started bouncing on the taxiway. I had the usual extreme negative values for fuel quantities. Restarted the flight and second attempt was OK.

 

Maybe the bug is in the EFB, this adds and removes fuel, and the bug does not exist for the A310 which has a different EFB.

[Sudden loss of control 2.0 (Plane falls out of the sky) Part 2]

Same here... Was my 4th flight with 1.0.6, happened on approach after a 3hrs flight.

[Autopilot violently rolls the aircraft when engaged]

After v 1.0.6:

The "violent AP roll to the right" seems to be fixed,at least when tries to enter a DME arc, but the AP still cant fly the arc, it permanently enters a turn now.

After setting a direct to GONSO continues normally

[Engine Reverse Sleeves]

MD82 is right, reverser sleeves are full open or full close, no intermediate position in any case, no connection with engine thrust setting. I am a retired engineer, worked with A300B4's and A300-600's for 30 years.

[Engines seem underpowered]

I confirm too. TOGA power can be achieved only with the A/T engaged pushing the buttons. Without A/T manually advancing the throttles N1 does not go over 87%.

It is not a calibration issue, checked with the A310 and it works as it should. 

[Go Around - what did I do wrong?]

LFRS RW21 has no ILS, only  RW 03. You may tune the ILS, you will get the CAT category of the ILS, but there are no LOC and GS to guide the AP. So the only way for auto apr to minimums  is the RNAV apr. To follow the VNAV path for the RNAV apr in the A300 is not the same with modern a/c. You must enter the DH in the MCDU and the a/c will make the required degrees decent after reaching the FAF. See the video tutorials (RNAV apr) for the exact procedure required.  

 

[Autopilot violently rolls the aircraft when engaged]

Τhe inibuilds Α310 (and the A300 of the initial versions) could do DME arcs, although they make a scary turn to the opposite direction before entering  -a bug reported here:

but then they follow the arc quite good.

This is the same procedure flown with the A310 today:  

 

[Autopilot violently rolls the aircraft when engaged]

OK I 'm almost sure now:

This happens every time the AP tries to enter a DME arc

This happened twice at the same route, same spot at descent after TIGRA, 

The FP was LIRF PEP9A PEPIX L50 UNIXO M620 SOR M603 KAPPO L995 TIGRA TIGR2T LGKR

If someone wants to try his luck 🙂

Quote

Notice how the lateral line moved all way to the right and the Autopilot followed it. 

Yes, the difference is that normally when the AP tries to follow the course does it with a max 30deg bank angle and the control column moves accordingly. Here the control column does not move and if you don't disengage the AP the aircraft ends up doing a barrel roll.

[Autopilot violently rolls the aircraft when engaged]

Same here...  

Happened twice during descent after 1.0.5, I was in prof & nav

I don't know why THR L was activated and the engines went to TOGA.

Plus one more flight I had the "fall out of the sky" bug. Seems to me that all problems start when the main tanks are about to be empty.

So, this is the end for now, the A300 is grounded since the next update...

 

[Sudden loss of control 2.0 (Plane falls out of the sky) Part 2]

Yes, always refuel using the EFB.

BTW: today I found at ini manager that I had an update after updating to 1.0.5, a small one just 380bytes. 

Is there a new update after 1.0.5 or my files were corrupt/missing? Is this a possible cause for problems?

[Sudden loss of control 2.0 (Plane falls out of the sky) Part 2]

Occurred again in my second flight with 1.0.5  Something goes wrong with the fuel:

 

[LGKR: DME ARC RW34]

I tested the EPALO1A apr to LGIR which also requires a DME arc

LGAV/03R KEA2T KEA DCT SOREV UL617 MIL UM749 EPALO EPAL1A LGIR/GONSO.D27

same behavior, left turn instead of right when reaching the arc wp

[LGKR: DME ARC RW34]

Tried the same route/apr and had the same behavior, turn left instead of right to follow the arc.

[TOD mark on ND disagrees with actual VNAV path]

Checked this in several flights, the TOD mark on ND disagrees with actual VNAV path, actually the mark TOD is later than the actual, you are 2500+ ft higher if you follow it.

 

[Icing effects]

OK, today I realized that the icing effect on wipers exists, but is barely visible because of the base color of the wipers. So what is required is just a darker color 🙂
