Dreadnought1906

I haven't flown the A340 in a month or two, and now it feels like the brakes are half on all the time. I need between 40 and 45% throttle just to taxi at a normal speed. A takeoff roll planned to be around 10,000 feet with FLEX thrust took 14,000 feet at TOGA thrust. Not having any pedals, I use a button on a joystick assigned to the in-game BRAKES variable - they are either on or off. Parking brake acts normally. Any suggestions? I did not have this problem before and I changed nothing on the config. C.Falk Lexington KY

You seem to think that we should psychically know what the workaround is, and the cause. I have considered the A350 unflyable until the next update, but if there is a workaround fix, please enlighten us.

Flightplan is loaded, IRS aligned, It's been about 20 minutes. I restarted the sim and got the same result.

The plane takes off, flies and lands fine. But taxiing takes a ridiculous level of power - enough to trigger TO configuration alarms. Not just for breakaway (which can need 1.3 or more EPR on both engines), just maintaining normal taxi speed needs about 1.2 EPR. A tight turn, where you want power from only one engine, takes nearly full power from that engine. At first I thought it was simply a ground resistance issue and I would not be able to take off, but takeoff roll seemed fine. Once I landed and got off the runway the high ground resistance returned.

Can anyone help me figure out how to shut down the APU using a mapped switch? Turning it on is no problem, using the mapping below. But switching the Master Switch to zero turns off the Master Switch light, but the APU keeps running merrily along. Any help would be appreciated.

I've got another weird one just now. Landing on the ILS 24 at EGPH. It's CAT III, so I thought I would try an autoland. Approach went perfectly smoothly until I reached 100 feet, where the plane decided to nose down hard, and tried to put a crater right at the start of the runway. That would have been a bad landing even for Ryanair 😀

Yep. Tried my first flight last night (Hawaii-London, LOL) and I woke up to find the aircraft had kicked off the autopilot for no reason and was wandering aimlessly around the pacific.
