    How to create a circle to land approach in the fms

    Just tried to do the same flight to be sure.

    I got your point now, the Navigraph AIRAC or the A310 (don't know which one is the culprit) is lacking the OSMOS arrival for RWY 10. Thus your decision to build the DME-ARC.

    There is no STAR for RWY 10 at LGTS in the FMS. Would be good to know from inibuild if it's a navigraph issue or the A310.

    Do other default aircraft have STARs for rwy 10?

    yes, i noticed that. Maybe the logic of the 310 needs LOC GREEN before GS GREEN (my hypotesis). Nevertheless i think that the clear laziness of the FD in transitioning from LOC* to LOC GREEN would have led to the same results, even if i d used VL for LOC capture and then LAND for GS. 🤔😊

    Yes it probably would in that case if you armed it at the same time as you did LAND there, as the intercept angle was too sharp. Please try again with a shallower approach angle

    so here is another example of the a310 FD “laziness”. The approach is again Comiso LICB ilsrwy05 (COM VOR transition). This time i wanted to help the FD a little, inserting manually 2 PBD points after COM-D9 in order to allow a smoother final left turn ending in a lower LOC intercept angle. After a WAY TOO LONG LOC* ,parallel to the localizer, at the end it nails the LOC green. This time, the “laziness” of the FD involved also the GS capture: as U can see, the GS diamond passes the midline but the FD does not command the descent until 1 dot below. At this point suddenly it commands a -5 degrees dive 😰In real life all of this could probably have triggered a go around. 🤔 

     

    A few things to try

     

    Push LAND later. Use V/L first to establish fully on the localiser when the diamond is +/- 1  dot. 

    You need to be LOC captured before it will descend on the G/S. It looks like in the video that the FDs don't command nose down until the G/S diamond is one below; but if you watch your FMAs at the same time, you can see that it actually descends when LOC* transitions to LOC.

    The A310 does not feature the Enhanced LOC* found on more modern Airbuses. It actually had a quite a restrictive intercept angle, and we have modelled this in the sim. If you feel that even factoring that in that work needs to be done, please post a video if possible of a LOC capture that doesn't work, but you think it should

    Hi there,

    Please try deleting the .dat files at one of these locations: `C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\SceneryIndexes (MS Store)` or `C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\SceneryIndexes (Steam)`, also try clearing the contents of the scenerycache location too

    First of all: thanks for this plane! I had just my first flight with it and enjoyed it very much. She looks good, sounds good and handles well during taxiing, take off, flight and landing. But I noticed, that in the cockpit, the clickzone of the throttle is extreme big and therefore, clicking on the mixture lever is almost impossible. Clould you - in due time -  reduce the throttle clickzone to the knob?  I have attached a screenshot on which I marked in red the ouline of the throttle clickzone.

    Thanks! We've noted this for future improvements

    EFB Performance & METAR

    In the most recent beta version, the EFB Performance Page copies the METAR atmospheric pressure in Millibars, even if the plane is set to use Inches of Mercury. 

    Thanks, we've got this logged internally already 🙂

    Poor performance is still a problem on patch 1.29.30.0

    Performance is still something we are working to improve. The .dll files not being present, and a fast load time are expected. We initially thought it might've been an issue; but after further investigation with Asobo it turns out it wasn't. For reference; I get + 10/15 fps compared to the Fenix, and +/- 2 fps to the PMDG in the same scenario. A lot of others are also reporting higher frame rates so whatever is causing these issues for you guys is obviously something else. As I say, we're continually looking into it.

    Auto Brake not working

    Enjoying the A310,  but since the update today I am unable to get the autobrake to be assigned .  I press the button (s) but neither max, med or low are lit.  There was no problem in the previous version.  Any guidance would be appreciated .  Many thanks  Richard

    Hi! Was this in flight or on the ground?
