List of bugs and suggestions for A400M

[R33]

• Engines do not respond from idle at sub-zero ambient temperature
• Deadzone on stick when in Normal Law, works ok in Direct Law
• No rain or icing effects on windshield
• Engines startup and stop too fast, proppeller animation not smooth
• Cargo door/ramp opening/closing too fast
• Screens going into test mode when exiting aircraft
• Chocks needs to be removed in tablet even when removed outside
• Rear white nav light extremely bright, like a floodlight
• Switching nav light on turns on tail light (logo light)
• Formation lights not working at all
• Maximum cargo is ~21 tons, should be 37 tons
• HUD not aligned with horizon, no lateral guidance from FD on HUD
• ENRTE page in FMC, TO (T/D) section shows UTC time instead of TOD
• Can't load flight plan created in MSFS EFB only Simbrief
• It would be nice to put NAV on each PFD like in real thing
• Not bug, but I don't like how INTEG LT switch is at max by default, I think it should bet OFF at cold start. Of course ideally we would get state saving, but thats a dream.

I don't like how there was not a single update to this aircraft AFAIK. Atlas enjoyers please contribute bugs or your suggestions, thanks.

more bugs here:

 

ENG 2 Heat blur effect misplaced (coming from the ramp)

Front landing gear animation too slow (see video)

Totally forgot about those 2 things, thanks!

Also forgot about front gear being visible through the cover when closed.

Too bad I can't edit the first post too keep the list updated in one place...

Its unfortunate but its because these aircraft are included with the base game ,and part of the MS product, they can't just update it like they can with a third party product. Any updates have to go through MS/Asobo QA testing before it gets released to us adding more time.  

IB aren't the only deveoper experiencing this,  any fix or update they have that  could be ready to go would now be in the hands of MS and its on them when it gets released.

Anyone getting a blindingly white background on one of the navigation display modes? I believe it’s the arc mode but I may have the name wrong. The other ND modes all display correctly. Not sure if this is a bug or some random switch I threw.
