Hello Richboy2307,
To reply simply, the aircraft became unflyable after the FMS dumped the flight plan. I suspect the fact that I was already beyond the start of the STAR when I tried to activate the SEC PLN may have confused it but again this is speculation as mentioned in my original comment (this was never intended to be a detailed bug report, more a heads up for the team as I'm sure you have other reports where the smallest related detail may prove to be invaluable when working out said bugs?). Per my recollection of the event and my original comment, the screens were unresponsive (at the very least the FMS/MFD were, I was not in the mood to fly a an unguided missile so I stopped paying attention to the PFD & ND shortly after a minute or two playing with a non-responsive FMS. That said I do recall none of the data changing even though I was still descending and again A/P 1 was in but I could hand fly with no restriction or warnings), the aircraft effectively had no systems and no controllable thrust, just a sidestick and the close sim button.
I unfortunately do not have the very precious free time, and quite honestly the desire, to do patterns at Frankfurt trying to replicate the crash, unfortunately this is all the info I can provide at this moment, should I encounter the issue again I will happily look out for more details and info and submit another post.
As for the second part of the lengthy reply regarding various lettered flights, I must say, I am somewhat perplexed as to how a developers attitude can be "it sucks for us too, but your a minority case as many others aren't having the issue just look at these bits of "evidence"", my surprise is only furthered by the fact that there are others in this very thread mentioning issues with A to B flights being highly unreliable (in their experiences!) and FMS related functions! This leaves quite a lot to be desired regarding developer trust, especially when paying a premium for a product to end up being a beta tester...
To conclude, I am currently trying to fly your A330 transatlantic, and thus far with this being my second flight in it in the past few months (again free time is precious and unfortunately we can't spend most our days in sims 🙂, nor should paying customers be spending said time replicating crashes which should not be occurring on released "premium" products!) I must say I am so far quite pleased. There are a few rather large issues, for example the fact that one can not remove chocks without steeping out of the aircraft (which when using Crtl+Shft+E seems to depower the plane!) unless I am doing something wrong here. My A330 related point being (other than highlighting a potential issue with the A330s) is that I do fully believe or at least still do that you can turn the A350 into a great addon, your commitment is acknowledged and appreciated, however, as of right now I unfortunately can only say that responses such as the above (long winded "others are ok so its not that bad" types of responses) and the exuberant marketing & price policy that led to the seemingly unpolished A350 release and follow-on can only leave a bad taste in ones/the paying consumer's mouth!
Regardless, I wish Inibuilds all the best in achieving the quality they advertised and set out to create, I also look forward to hopefully being part of the "others who are not having such issues" camp hopefully soon, and as I do not have the free time to test and repeat what may have caused the crash feel free to close this thread so we can all move on... should there be a repeat or any other issues (that haven't already been raised in various forums not just here) I will consider raising it assuming I won't be told "others aren't having the issue" in response...
Sincerely,
A very disappointed customer.
P.S. The first part of your response indicates you either did not read my post fully or something was lost in translation along the way, as I specifically stated (in response to your "Thanks for your report. Sorry for your experience, but based on described symptoms it does appear to be a WASM crash. When that happens any parts of the aircraft that run on WASM will stop functioning (most notably displays stop responding), while the sim itself and non-WASM bits continue working (such as your flight controls for example).":
"I then attempted activate the SEC Flight Plan as the active had nothing in it, upon pressing "CONFIRM*" the FMS and all screens froze. I was able to manually fly the pitch and roll axis of the aircraft, although the aircraft claimed to still have A/P 1 engaged, however, [I] had no control over the throttle which was stuck in the CLB detent."
As for the events after this occurred, well there were none, there was no longer a working A350 in my simulator, hence I closed the sim. Hope that clarifies that.
