  1. Another update, which at least allowed me to do a flight since I could now program the FMS. As usual for 2024 all my bindings are now screwed up. I did just a short flight from PAE to SEA in bad weather. Perhaps a Bus pilot could comment, there seems to be no centerline guidance after touchdown. In the Boeings that I flew for many years an auto land was followed by centerline tracking. Further flights will evaluate the flight manners.
  2. I am running both MSFS 202 and 2024 and installed the A350. The 2020 version (900) works well but the 1000 in 2024 is mostly a paperweight due to an inability to program the data blocks. Once highlighted generally I can't get a block to highlight a data entry point. Sometimes with repeated key smashing it will open, but then cannot be saved. The 900 flys fairly well (I am a retired 747 Captain) but the 1000 is virtually un flyable.
  3. Apparently the issue is related to a tendency in 2024 for the camera to slowly drift. By adding a large dead zone to the camera pan I can program it, sometimes. Compared to the 2020 version (900) which mostly works well, the 1000 can be difficult to data entry and flys very poorly. Hand flying an approach is an emergency procedure (I am a real 747 Captain). I have suspicion this is related to changes in SU1.
  4. The 900 in 2920 works fine but the 1000 in 2024 does not allow programming in either locked or legacy mode. Highlight a box and go to program and box goes away. If it is higlighted with a block in the box no key entry works. Unprogrammable Airbus is a paper weight
  5. I am a "Boing" guy, I was a real world 747 Captain for 15 years. However the lack of a serious set of heavies in the sim (2024) so far (I do fly the PMDG 777 in 2024) and have recently rode as a passenger on the Eh350 for Several Pacific crossings I thought I would give the 350-1000 a try. Quite a different aircraft in concept and maybe a computer drivers airplane, but giving it a full effort. The difficulty is in data entry where the boxes will not activate for entry, and only occasionally function. Very difficult to do a full pre flight of the FMS. As to and flying, not entirely pleased with the fly by wire which should make it easier?
