Synaptic A220 managed mode - speed problems
I'm having this same issue (on 1.0.7). Toggling FLCH during the climb didn't appear to have any impact. The FMS SPD is stuck on 200 kts in my case throughout the climb. A few minutes after top of climb, the FMS speed did switch to the cruise mach value. Of possible relevance, there was a 200 kts speed restriction earlier on the SID. But it kept following that speed even afterwards. The SID was ODIKI2A at LFLP (using current Navigraph database) as of Sept 1.

iniBuilds A350 update worst performance ever (2020)
Agree re: performance, it seems like there's a noticeable regression between the earlier releases and 1.0.6. Have not upgraded to 1.0.7 yet.

Center Fuel Tank Usage
Hi - checking fuel usage 6 hours into a ~8 hour flight, and I see all three tanks have the exact same amount of fuel remaining, despite starting with full wing tanks and only ~20k lb in the center fuel tank. And going forward, It seems to be equally using fuel from both the wing tanks and center tank - all three are dropping at the same rate. On the wing fuel tanks the "main" pumps are active per the fuel system page, as are both center fuel tank pumps. After takeoff and flap retraction, I would expect the center fuel tank to be emptied first. I'm pretty sure this is incorrect behavior - the FCOM describes the center fuel tank pumps as producing higher pressure, and effectively preferring the center tank over the wing tanks, and emptying it first (similar to most other Airbus aircraft). Do you have documentation that indicates otherwise, or is this a mistake? It does seem like someone else has seen similar behavior based on this Reddit post. Thanks
