Hello,

I've been flying the Synaptic Simulations A220 since it's release earlier this week. I've come across various issues, some of which have been resolved. The current outstanding issues, although I suspect that they'll be others, are:

1. The Terrain Display is not working

2. The Weather Display is not working

3. Thrust Reversers are not working

4. When I pull my Flight Plan into the FMS, it's not loading the Speeds and Altitudes for each leg. I did calculate the Take-Off performance and sent that to the FMS, but I'm not sure that has anything to do with loading Speeds and Altitudes for the legs in my Flight Plan.

Please help.

I have not tried 1 and 2 yet as I heard they were not working. As for #3 I can get thrust reversers to work but only on my stick and throttle setup but not on my Turtle Beach Velocity One Flight Yoke/Throttle Quadrant, though I only had a few minutes to fiddle with it before I had to go to work. Maybe I'll figure it out when I get home. I was not getting the EFB to update the Fuel Page and FMS speed and altitudes to update. it took several button pushes but then it did update.

Plus I'm having VR Zoom issues as well

Hey, I’m a new member

The thrust reversers do actually work if you calibrate it the right way. For example, I have the TCA Thrustmaster Airbus Throttle. In the sim itself, all you have to do is calibrate your physical throttle axis to Throttle 1 Axis and Throttle 2 Axis in Controls. (Not the 0 to 100% axis). After that, just calibrate your actual throttle to the Synaptic A220 by clicking the menu button on the pedestal for either FMS, then DATA > MAINTENANCE > Throttle Calibration.

Hope this helps!!

you have to install the map-server first.

WX is not implemented yet.

Solution already explained.

With simbrief?
