    Putting engine one into CRANK for a minute, and then straight across to IGN START seems to solve the bug. Come on iniBuilds, you had a great aircraft prior, now full of silly bugs - where was the testing? Please sign me up to your testing team, I have IRL experience that you'll find helpful I'm sure. 

    It does, in the second case I described, but not in the first one. Once the EGT is at maximum, I found no way to reduce it again by any means. Engine 2 simply works totally normal.

  2. I observe the same issue with both the 900 and 1000 variants, all liveries, WASM folders cleared after update. Sometimes, EGT 1 directly jumps to 1495C and is not coming down anymore (i.e. engine start not possible), sometimes I see the EGT 1 rise as soon as I switch on the batteries and look at the ENG page up to roughly 350C, while EGT 2 remains at outside air temperature. In the latter case, an engine start is at least possible after some cooling.

    I have not yet been able to reproduce that 100%, but it seems to me that the first issue (EGT unrecoverable) appears with some liveries (G-XWBJ, for example), while others simply develop a slightly elevated EGT 1. But in all cases, EGT 1 is always not where it should be.

  3. As VATSIM is now introducing half-degree waypoints for Cross The Pond, I fiddled around a bit with the possibility to enter custom waypoints into the A310 FMS. I came across some issues, however, also after referring to the original flight crew operations manual of the A310 (very interesting read, by the way …):

    • Entering coordinate waypoints seems not to be working reliably, especially not in the N4512.3/E305.1 or similar formats. Only the ARINC 424 format seems to work, but also not in every case.
    • Entering custom en-route waypoints, e.g. SUGOL/10, does not place the new waypoint on the original course, but instead 10 nm somehow offset of SUGOL at an angle.
    • I tried to define new waypoints via the REF page, but I did not suceed in entering LAT/LONG, instead always get a format error.
    • Even worse, all flight deck screens black out when I try to look at a custom waypoint previously introduced via the flight plan page.

    Am I doing something wrong here, or are these just limitations of the FMS system in the ini A310? Is there any other ‚proper‘ way to insert half-degree waypoints into the FMS, except from importing them e.g. with the SimBrief flight plan?

    Thanks a lot for any help! I‘d really love to do Cross The Pond with the A310 this year!
