I had this one as well, on a very long flight from Osaka to Munich across the date line. Didn't figure out how to fix it. Will try your approach if it comes up again.
With every post you make it solidifies my opinion more and more that this product was absolutely rushed to release.
If you want PMDG prices you have to deliver PMDG quality in systems modeling.
The amount of discrepancies and bugs you find give me the feeling that the release should have been postponed for at least 9 months.
I notice that the aircraft consumes way less fuel than the simbrief profile calculates.
Just as an example of the current flight I'm doing:
I'm just about to reach Janjo after about 5:50hrs of flight time and simbrief says I should have 16.4 tons of fuel left on board.
However I currently have 20.5 tons left.
That's 40% more than I should have.
And I see this all the time.
Just for reference: Fl400 Mach .85 gives me a FF of 2580 to 2600.
Does this sound right to you? And if the consumption of the aircraft is correct, then why is the official simbrief profile so far off?
That one I noticed from release. The FBWA380 does it correctly, but I assumed because the A350 is so much lighter the differences in turnaround time are perhaps neglible.
Seems as though my initial feeling that it is a big was correct, though.
I have an issue with the sound from the radions dropping out on the A300. I'm flying the PW freighter variant with the IDC enabled. When I use the radio the voices are transmited with intermittend dropouts. I tested this with both BeyondATC and SayIntentions and both come back all chopped up.
It's so bad that I miss vital information when listening and only the text box of both programs can fill me in what the transmissions really said.
How about you being more specific?
You mention stuff not being fixed but you don't say what isn't fixed despite it being said to be fixed in the changelog.
Personally I'd like them to include all the failures that trigger ECAM actions first and then think about adding service based failures instead of random ones.
In which position is the spoiler leve in the flightdeck?
If it it is down you probably have a rogue axis binding somewhere. This happens to me as well when I switch through my presets.
It's not an bug.
Because the engines use oil. Simple. That is not tied to failures it's simple wear and tear that you have to keep track of.
I assume not being able to start them after having tried to start them without oil is a simulation of having damaged them.
They have Pablo on the team. He flies the A350 in real life. You should trust he knows what should be audible and what isn't.
As aspected there has been ongoing discussion on what you hear of the flaps movement. A lot of armchair pilots with no experience sitting in the A350 flightdeck questioning whether you can really just hear the slats motor.
Now the same about the hydraulic pump of the cargo doors.
