When flying SIDs, it is very common to have instructions of the kind "Takeoff runway 28L: climb heading 284 to 520 [feet], then..."

For instance, the TRUKN2 departure out of SFO runway 28L and 28R (https://resources.globalair.com/dtpp/globalair_00375trukn.pdf).

When loading into the FMS, this shows up properly as an ARINC 424 CA or VA segment (with a white "520" as the waypoint).

I've purchased the ini A380 (1.0.5) and ini A350 (1.2.6). Neither of these auto-sequence these legs - when you takeoff, the FD guidance just indicates you should fly heading 284 forever. I have to manually find the next waypoint and use direct-to functionality to sequence past the altitude segment. Is this expected - is there some quirk of the FMS on the A380 / A350 that works like this? Otherwise it breaks immersion for me every time.

The Fenix A320, PMDG 737 and 777, and the Toliss A320 and Flightfactor 777 on X-Plane all automatically auto-sequence these segments. Once you've climbed to 520 feet (as in SFO TRUKN2), it automatically advances to the next segment. The ini planes do not.

Is this a known bug? It is super irritating that all the other systems are modeled reasonably well but this basic behavior on so many instrument departures doesn't work properly.

Hi,

I believe you are referring to the attached screenshot? If yes, I will log this for the team to review.

Thanks!
