Pressurization system completely inaccurate
The CAB part of the ALT SEL window also seems incorrect. It is supposed to show the cabin altitude with the cabin pressurized to maximum differential. In the example with the FLT ALT set to 24000 ft the CAB ALT shows 5300 ft. However, at 24000 ft the cabin pressurizes to 500 with the pressure differential at maximum. So with the FLT ALT set to 24000 ft the CAB ALT should only show 500 ft. In the following manual you can see that with the FLT ALT set to 34000 ft the CAB ALT shows 5000 ft which also corresponds to a differential pressure of around 8.6. So this seems to be a two part problem. 1. The cabin altitude doesn't climb with a consistent rate of 500 ft/min and descend with a consistent 300 ft/min. 2. The CAB ALTs in the ALT SEL window do not represent the cabin altitude at maximum differential pressure. With the FLT SEL set to 34000 ft the CAB ALT should display roughly 5000 ft, however in the simulator the CAB ALT window displays 5000 ft with the FLT ALT set to below 24000 ft.

Pressurization system completely inaccurate
Yes, I set the ALT SEL correctly to my cruise. I just did a test and this is what I experienced with the pressurization: Initially, after takeoff the cabin was climbing at roughly 1000 ft/min which is also what it does in your picture. This is incorrect as it should climb with 500 fpm with the rate knob at the white dot. It kept this 1000ft/min climb until passing 2000 ft. When reaching 2000 ft the cabin instead started descending, with the needle maxed out at -2000 ft/min until the cabin reached an altitude of 0 ft. It then maintained a cabin altitude of 0 ft until the delta P reached the red mark at around 20000 ft. At 20000 ft, the cabin altitude finally started climbing, this time with a rate of 1250 ft/min. It kept this climb rate until I leveled of at 24000ft. When I leveled off at 24000 ft the cabin altitude was at 500 ft and a delta P of around 8.6. This does not match the cabin altitude of 5300 ft shown in the CAB window with the ALT SEL set to 24000 ft. What it actuallly should do, with the rate selector set to the white dot is climb the cabin at 500 ft/min until reaching the CAB altitude in the ALT SEL window corresponding to the selected cruise altitude. ON GROUND: PASSING 3000 ft: PASSING FL200: LEVEL AT FL240:

Cannot enter fuel higher than 159 900 LBS in PMS
I am unable to enter fuel quantities higher than 159 900 LBS in the PMS even though the maximum fuel quantity is around 213 600 LBS. Entering anything higher than 159 900 LBS (1599 in the PMS) gives an ERROR. I have the units set to imperial in the PFP.

PMS gives too high climb EPR
The PMS seems to give a climb EPR that is much higher than the maximum climb EPR from the table on the FEs desk. In this example I am at FL260, with a TAT of 3 degrees. According to the maximum climb chart this should give me an EPR of around .640, however the PMS gives me a climb EPR of .716.

Autopilot does not seem to take crosswind in to account in VOR and LOC mode
The autopilot does not seem to take crosswind in to account when flying in VOR and LOC mode, however in INS mode it does. In this screenshot I have a 100 kt crosswind, with the wind coming from 270 degrees. You can see that the autopilot is flying a heading corresponding to the inbound course on the VOR rather than maintaining a wind correction angle and will over time get further and further away from the radial. If i switch over to INS navigation and fly to the same VOR using INS it will apply a wind correction angle and follow the inbound course correctly. VOR: INS:

HSI true north when in INS mode
When selecting the RADIO/INS switch to INS the HSI correctly switches to display true compass information instead of magnetic compass information, however the MAG/TRUE flag does not switch to TRUE and instead continues to show MAG.

Certain PFB pages cause massive FPS drop
Cetain pages in the PFB cause a massive FPS drop and almost doubles the Graphics Queue response times. This low fps remains as long as the page is open, even if the PFB is hidden. It seems to affect the Loadsheet, TO Perf and Landing Perf pages.

Autopilot struggles when extending flaps
The autopilot really seems to struggle when you're flying in level flight and start to extend flaps. It will easily loose 300-400 ft when going from flaps up to flaps 4 and takes over 30 seconds to recapture the altitude.

Discrepancy between CPT and FO barber pole
The barber pole on the FO airspeed indicator seems to always show about 10 knots lower than the airspeed indicator on the CPT side.

More VRAM friendly cockpit and cabin
I have to agree with these posts. This is by far the worst performing plane in the sim for me due to the VRAM usage. I had 7 fps on landing rollout at ORBX ESSA in the Tristar. With all other aircraft in the sim I'd have at least 30. This is on a 3060 Ti with 8GB VRAM and all settings on low or medium

Thanks for a great Aircraft - some issues though...
That click spot doesn't work properly as far as I can tell. With the aircraft set to LBS and a GW of approximately 316 000 LBS, pressing the click spot set the gross weight dial to 145 000 LBS. It's like the click spot sets the weight in KGs even though the gauge is in LBS

Pressurization system completely inaccurate
No matter what you set on the CABIN PRESSURE CONTROL panel the pressurization system will always pressurize the cabin to a cabin altitude of 0ft until reaching the maximum delta P. At that point the cabin will start climbing rapidly (needle maxed out) and maintain maximum delta P instead of slowly climbing to the cabin altitude set on the pressurization controller.

Add registration placard texture to paint kit
Right now all liveries have the default G-STAR registration placard in the cockpit. Can you please add the texure for this placard to the paint kit? I found a file called registration_albd.png.ktx2 in the aircraft folders but I am unable to open it because I guess it uses som proprietary compression called KTX_SS_PROPRIETARY_ASOBO.

Systems freeze (Not WASM crash, SU4)
As mentioned, I am already on SU4 beta.

Aircraft systems somehow frozen
This has not been fixed in SU4 for me. I've had it at least once on all 4 flights I've tried in SU4.

Systems freeze (Not WASM crash, SU4)
So far I have not been able to complete a single flight in the A340 (4 attempts) without having to restart the sim and load an autosave at least once per flight. At some point in the flight, when not doing anything, all systems will freeze and not recover. Sometimes it happens on climb out, and sometimes it happens 7 hours in to the flight. This is not a WASM crash as the logs don't mention any WASM related errors and the clock keeps running. I am using SU4 beta.

Unable to service with covers in place
When trying to service the engines I get the following message: "Unable to service with covers in place". There are no covers in the MSFS 2020 version, and the only ground services connected are chocks and the GPU.

LVL/CH not switching to mach
LVL/CH should switch to mach mode at 25 400 ft if no mach speed has been preset in the SPD/MACH window. The FMA should switch from THR SPD to THR MACH and the SPD/MACH window should switch to display the mach speed. Right now the FMA still reads THR SPD when passing 25 400 ft and even when manually switching the speed window to MACH the FMA still reads THR SPD.
