Is anyone else experiencing issues with the MCDU in the default A320? The MCDU doesn’t seem to respect the speed constraints. After takeoff and Flaps retracted, Speed gets stuck on 220 knots even after passing 10,000 feet. Any help will be greatly appreciated. It worked fine earlier this morning. I tried changing location and liveries but the problem remains.
Mine seems OK, did you add anything to your community folder since your last flight?
not at all. will probably wait a couple of days and see if anything changes

Are you sure you don’t have waypoints with Speed constraints in front of you? Even if you have passed 10,000 ft. If you’re on Managed Speed and your next waypoint has a speed constraint of 220 knots, then the aircraft will stay to fly at 220 knots until it passes that waypoint.
As an A320 pilot all I can say is ‘use the FBW mod’ (unless you’re on xbox of course).
The aircraft is extremely dependant on the MCDU so check carefully that there are no speed constraints ahead of you. You can select CSTR above the map and scroll through your flight plan to see them on the map screen (Navigation Display).
On the Climb page, there may also be 220/10000 instead of 250/10000 there too. But the default MCDU is so poorly written it probably won’t be there.
In that case just select what you need and pull.
