  3. Hello, Sorry to hear your experiencing issues! Please try clearing your scenery indexes and try again. It obviously shouldn't look that way. To do that locate your folder by following the path below: MSFS 2020 MSFS 2024 Then delete the contents inside but leave the folder intact. The indexes will rebuild on next load of FS. This should solve the issue.
  4. Hello, Unfortunately we are not able to give a precise date as the process to get a product on the marketplace greatly differs from being able to upload it straight to our own store. We submit a product to MS/Asobo and it goes through a submission process. How long that takes is entirely up to them.
  5. Hello, Myself and a colleague have tried (both compatible and premium version) to reproduce this and to no avail. Have you tried a complete reinstall?
  6. SYSTEM OVERVIEW The Surveillance (SURV) system consists of the following system that perform surveillance functions: Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast - Traffic (ADS-B Traffic) Transponder (XPDR) Weather Radar (WXR) system Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) This FAQ will cover the WXR and TAWS features of the SURV system. For TCAS, ADS-B Traffic and XPDR systems, see: SURV - CONTROLS AND INDICATORS The SURV system functions can be controlled via SURV Panel on the Pedestal SURV Page on the on the MFD (Click to enlarge image) 1.

  9. SYSTEM OVERVIEW The Brake To Vacate (BTV) function optimizes the autobrake deceleration on landing in order to reach the selected runway exit point/ manually entered landing distance. The system takes into account the selected runway condition/braking action in its calculations. Once armed, the system works autonomously to delay braking in order to reduce brake wear, optimize the runway occupancy time (ROT) and improve passenger comfort. SETTING UP BTV In order for BTV to function, it needs information such as your stopping target stopping distance and runway condition. This information can be provided by 2 ways: via Exit Selection on the ANF (airport moving map on ND), OR via Manual Distance Entry Instructions on how to set up BTV using each method is shown below. 1. Exit Selection on the ANF [*Navigraph Only] Step 1: Choose Landing Runway on FMS Press the F-PLN shortcut key to go to the FMS F-PLN page At the bottom left corner, select your DEST airport and select the Landing RWY - you can also select your APPR and STAR on this page, however the BTV system only requires the runway at minimum to function Choose TMPY F-PLN and then INSERT TMPY to confirm the selection. (Click to enlarge image) Step 2: Set ANF to your DEST airport Whilst on the ANF display, the currently displayed airport map can be changed via the ARPT SEL function page as follows: Change to PLAN mode via the ND Mode Selector Knob Change the range to ZOOM via the ND Range Selector knob Move the KCCU cursor to the ND screen by - Clicking anywhere on the ND screen, OR - Clicking the ND key on the KCCU Click the double-arrow Additional Function Button at the bottom-right corner of the ND Select the (A) ARPT SEL tab Choose from the (B) FMS AIRPORTS list to display your Destination Click the (D) DISPLAY AIRPORT button to make it the active displayed airport. (Click to enlarge image) Step 3: Choose target Exit via ANF Click-and-drag to center the map on your desired exit Click the interactable taxiway icon on the runway (interactable elements have a blue border around them) Select SET BTV EXIT from the options list (You can also UNSET BTV EXIT from the same options list to remove your selection) Once a target Exit is chosen, A blue line will appear along the landing runway to the selected exit showing the chosen BTV target exit, AND On the top left corner of the ND, you will see the chosen RWY (and its LDA), BRAKING CONDITION and EXIT as well as the corresponding Runway Occupancy Time (ROT)(in seconds) and TURNAROUND time (in minutes) for MAX REV or REV IDLE usage respectively. (Click to enlarge image) Step 4: Choose the Braking Action / Runway Condition Pull the RWY COND/BRAKING ACTION KNOB-SELECTOR to bring up the RWY CONDITION / BRAKING ACTION matrix on the SD (this knob is located just above the landing gear lever) Rotate the selector clockwise (or anti-clockwise) to choose between the various RWY CONDITION / BRAKING ACTION options After a few seconds, the selected option is validated automatically Push the knob selector to hide the RWY CONDITION / BRAKING ACTION matrix on the SD (Click to enlarge image) 2. Manual Distance Entry Step 1: Choose Landing Runway on FMS Press the F-PLN shortcut key to go to the FMS F-PLN page At the bottom left corner, select your DEST airport and select the Landing RWY - you can also select your APPR and STAR on this page, however the BTV system only requires the runway at minimum to function Choose TMPY F-PLN and then INSERT TMPY to confirm the selection. (Click to enlarge image) Step 2: Open the LANDING function page Change to PLAN mode via the ND Mode Selector Knob Change the range to ZOOM via the ND Range Selector knob Move the KCCU cursor to the ND screen by - Clicking anywhere on the ND screen, OR - Clicking the ND key on the KCCU Click the double-arrow Additional Function Button at the bottom-right corner of the ND Select the (A) LANDING tab Enter the BTV Exit (B) DISTANCE from threshold for your target (This information can normally be obtained from the Airport Ground / Information Charts) Step 3: Choose the Braking Action / Runway Condition Choose the (C) LDG PERF CODE that is most suitable to the reported landing runway condition / braking action. You can bring up the RWY CONDITION / BRAKING ACTION matrix for reference by, Pull the RWY COND/BRAKING ACTION KNOB-SELECTOR to show the matrix on the SD (this knob is located just above the landing gear lever) Rotate the selector clockwise (or anti-clockwise) to choose between the various RWY CONDITION / BRAKING ACTION options Push the knob selector to hide the matrix on the SD (Click to enlarge image) BTV ARMING & ENGAGEMENT The BTV autobrake mode arms when the following conditions are met: A BTV exit is selected OR BTV distance is entered manually, AND A/BRK pushbutton is pressed Once successfully armed, The A/BRK pushbutton will be lit up green The PFD FMA will show BTV in blue (Click to enlarge image) The BTV autobrake mode engages on landing if any one of the conditions is met: immediately after ground spoilers extension if the NLG is on ground; OR 5s after ground spoilers extension if NLG is not on ground (Click to enlarge image) BTV DISARMING & DISENGAGEMENT The autobrake disarms if any one of the conditions is met: The A/BRK pushbutton is pressed again, OR The selected landing runway on the ANF is modified, OR The BTV exit is deselected, OR The FMS runway is changed to a runway that is different from the selected landing runway, OR A go-around is performed below 600 ft. The reversion occurs during the go-around, when the aircraft climbs above 600 ft. The computation is based on the minimum between the radio altitude, and the aircraft height above the runway threshold. The autobrake disengages if any one of the conditions is met: The aircraft ground speed reaches the BTV disconnection speed (approx. 10 kt), OR The flight crew uses the brake pedals, OR The flight crew presses the A/THR instinctive disconnect pushbutton, OR The ground spoilers retract or disarm. When autobrake disengages the the following happens: A single chime audio indicator sounds The MASTER CAUT lights comes on The AUTO BRK OFF memo appears on the PFD and WD.
  10. The A350 Airliner comes with a variety of quality of life features such as Pause at Top of Descent (TOD), Auto Step-Climbs and Time Compression to make long haul / away-from-keyboard (AFK) flying more accessible for simmers. SETUP - OIS SIMULATION SETTINGS All of these features can be set up via the On-board Information System (OIS) simulation options page, which is accessed from FLT OPS MENU > OPTIONS > SIMULATION. (Click to enlarge image) PAUSE AT TOD The Pause at Top of Descent (TOD) pauses your simulator at a set distance before the FMS computed TOD point. To enable the feature, PAUSE AT T.O.D: Select YES to arm this function PAUSE TOD DIST (nm): Enter the desired value for where you want the pause to engage (Default 30 nm, Max 100 nm) To unpause the simulator, Click the RESUME FLIGHT button on the OIS notification (Click to enlarge image) AUTO STEP CLIMB The Auto Step Climb feature automatically climbs your aircraft at the pre-defined steps that you have setup on the MFD FMS.

  13. The Nose Wheel Steering is usually conducted using the tiller located on the side console. The tiller is bound to the 'NOSE WHEEL STEERING AXIS'. For simulation purposes, this can also be linked to your rudder axis for ease of use. This is done on the On-board Information System (OIS) display aircraft settings page which can be reached via FLT OPS MENU > OPTIONS > AIRCRAFT. OIS AIRCRAFT OPTIONS Set the RUDDER CTRL TILLER option to YES to couple the Rudder Axis to the Nose Wheel Steering Axis. (Optional) Set the AUTO TILLER DISCO option to YES to automatically de-couple the Rudder Axis to the Nose Wheel Steering Axis when N1% > 70% for better directional control on the runway.

  15. Hi there! Once launching the iniManager, navigate to the HOME page and all the way down on the left, you'll find the liveries tab. The A350 tab will be added sometime this week and you can start installing liveries from there. In addition to that, the same liveries will be available for download on this forum too. LIDO charts are only available on MSFS2024. Navigraph "maps" will be usable on MSFS2020 yes, but you must have Navigraph for that. Yes, however some aspects of it are limited to MSFS2024, such as the visual damage done to the aircraft. There will be no cabin for the MSFS 2020 version of the aircraft. We have modeled the windows+their frames so users can still set up wing-views. By being signed up to our newsletter. You can do that at the bottom of this page: https://inibuilds.com/ The plane, yes, the liveries we are unsure how the marketplace will work. However, the plane will not come to the marketplace at the same time as our own store since there's a submission process that has to go through MS/Asobo before it is purchasable through there. Yes.
