A340 – AOC INIT / INIT REQUEST Fails, FMGC Uplink Not Working (No Data Download)

Featured Replies

Hello, I am experiencing a major issue with the A340 FMGC / AOC systems.

For the past week, the aircraft has been unable to download any operational data through the MCDU. The following functions fail every time:

  • INIT REQUEST → returns “ERROR DOWNLOADING DATA”

  • AOC FLT INIT → does not populate fields automatically

  • AOC RTE UPLINK → no route uplink

  • VERIFY → SEND → does nothing, no uplink

  • FMGC does not receive any company route or weather data

I have attached screenshots showing:

  • INIT page stuck with “ERROR DOWNLOADING DATA”

  • AOC FLT INIT not receiving dispatch data

  • ATC MENU and AOC MENU pages functioning, but uplink actions fail

  • VERIFY/SEND page not transmitting anything

I have already:

  • Reinstalled the A340

  • Cleared rolling cache

  • Restarted MSFS 2024

  • Tried multiple airports (CYOW, KPHL, KIAD)

  • Tried multiple flight numbers

  • Tested with and without SimBrief integration

The issue persists across all flights.

This looks like a deeper FMGC/AOC logic failure. Please advise — I have also submitted a Direct Support ticket 8 days ago but have not received a reply.

Thank you.
