If the plane flies well and the graphics and sounds are good, I’m in. I guess if they are making the most of the Xbox system, that’s all we can ask.

Where is the info on what’s available on Xbox?

Not sure they’ve confirmed that anything has been submitted yet.

It will be great if the ‘sooner than later’ message from Inibuilds that pervades the forums came to a realisation. Wish MS was more responsive to client/customer feedback.

These lights haven’t been working for months. Need to wait for MS to push a sim update at some future time.

This is a constant source of frustration for me - only fly the A320 and have been the for the past year to help get full knowledge of systems etc. Inibuilds have told us this is fixed but needs MS to push in next sim release - but nothing from MS for months and who knows know when the next sim update will be for 2020. Some, small, help is starting from cold and dark and then at least you have one working pedestal light. I share your pain.

The ILS identifier doesn’t seem to be showing (bottom left of the PFD). Check the rad/nav page on the MCDU to ensure proper ILS identifier is in. For example, EGPH automatically populates its ILS, but it is different from published charts, so I need to manually enter the correct info for the ILS to work.

Apologies.

On my Xbox-x, the only A330s are provided by LVFR. Am I missing something? No Inibuilds available.

No A300 other than from LVFR for XBox. What am I missing?

I think the fuelling and boarding need to complete before you can calculate performance data. This is the difference between instant and realistic, I think.

Yes, thanks. It’s totally frustrating that the lighting issues were fixed several months ago, but are not being pushed by MS/Asobo for us to be back enjoying this aircraft.

Which A300 are you flying on XBox? I can’t see an Inibuilds A300 available to fly? If there is one, I’m looking to purchase, but all I can see are the LVFR ones, which have much reduced cockpit functionality.

My solution (or this might be normal procedure?) is to not select the activate approach phase on MCDU if intending to use selected speeds through flaps 1-2. I suspect if you activate approach phase on MCDU before selecting ‘selected’ speeds through flaps 1-2 that the ‘selected’ speeds disarm the prior activation phase on MCDU, which you can’t reactivate later. So, what works is this: selected speeds and flaps 1-2; gear down; activate approach phase MCDU; then command speeds to follow flaps 3-full automatically.

Do you have a flight plan loaded and nav green in the FMA and flight directors on?

Am I missing a volume control or does the cabin call button make no sound? Also, what is the function of the loud speaker volume dial beside the avionics brightness dials?

I only ask as there are some videos of approach mode being activated but not approach phase.

Did you activate approach phase in MCDU and make sure flight plan is sequenced?

Noticed tonight that if you start cold and dark then the pedestal lighting on the FO’s side does work (no other lighting does as identified in other threads). Conversely, if you load in and start on a departure runway, then the FO pedestal lighting doesn’t work.

Using selected speed and flaps to initiate initial approach, then with gear down and selecting flap 3 I’ll then go back to managed speed to reduce workload (this is what I’ve seen in videos). However, flaps 3 and 4 don’t ever reduce speed to Vapp speed as shown in MCDU, so unless I go back to selected speed I’ll come in too fast. What am I doing wrong? Is this something to do with the timing of when you activate approach phase on the MCDU - if activate and then go selected (for flaps 1&2), can you then not get back into approach phase on MCDU to coordinate speeds and automatically manage speeds for flaps 3&4?

When the FMA commands Thrust Climb are you moving the throttles into Climb detent?

Is the a350 coming to XBox?

Sorry - didn’t read that bit.

Toggle GPU in the EFB?

Can happen if FD isn’t selected.
