Airbus A310-300

710

I just re-tested this problem on the apron after getting the aircraft configured for flight. I simply pressed pause and when I unpaused, the engines are winding down and the displays are off along with a number of system’s switches.

Very easily reproducible.

EDIT: This seems to be tied to having a Mixture/Condition Lever bound to one of the axis on the yoke. Since this isn’t a prop or turboprop, I’ve got the slider in the cutoff positon. The sim, with this aircraft specifically, is interpreting/registering this slider’s position upon pause. Since it’s in the cutoff position, it is somehow tied to the fuel system of the A310 and shutting down the engines, even though engine 1&2’s fuel levers are still set to ON. If I move the slider to full rich position and then pause the sim, the engines will not shutdown.

This is an easy workaround — move the slider out of the cutoff position as part of the configuration for the A310. It’s interesting this doesn’t occur with other aircraft, however.

5950 + 3090 running at 4k. It was very sluggish with su11 +dx12 +a310+ fsltl ai traffic.
I lock at 1/2 RR (30FS) and have dlss enabled.
Once I moved to DX11 it was much better performance wise.

Not sure if it’s been mentioned here but the devs discord suggests there may be texture improvements coming for xbox version.

Hi, we can’t thank you enough to all the team for this beauty :slight_smile: Would it be possible to spawn as stationary AI aircraft? I have installed some real liveries and I would like to see them parked at the airports. But the isAirTraffic=1 and canBeUsedByAITraffic=1 options doen’t works, no any A310 spawned. Cheers

Everything works 310 no how I throw it in the scenario knocks me out of the game

715

It’s not up to stock Airbus 320 standard. Low FPS and textures even with HD pack.

716

Anyone else finding the standard Asobo AP control mappings aren’t working?

Buttons and knobs such as: HDG Hold, ALT Hold, IAS, Altitude, V/S, etc.?

(I’m not really all that much of a modern airliner fanatic, but this plane has me a bit smitten. I love the old school way about it.)

I cannot get the FMC, tablet or any other flight panels to turn on or load up. I’m sat in the A310 with my engines on and nothing to show what’s going on. (Edit: I am on the Xbox Series S)

Here’s one video with a slats 1, no flaps, aileron drop for lift support take off.

And here’s an explanation for the Flaperon mechanism.

I hope it’ll be added, because this was a very interesting feature on the A300/A310 series.

Kind regards.

Go over to the tablet and use the ready for takeoff shortcut and see what happens

720

My tablet is just a blank black screen

721

Press the power on button on the side of it and see if that works. If not, exit the sim and restart

722

I’ll try a few more times but if it doesn’t work I’ll have to leave it until there is an update.

723

Really a shame not to have the liveries presented in the promotional film directly in msfs! no pan am, no air jamaica, no airtransat and above all no “how to get them” Or else I had a problem during the download!

724

Also what’s up with this iPads for the pilots, can you remove it somehow?

725

Same issue for me. Keyboard works for all other planes but not the a310. Not a huge issue for me with profile vnav and auto throttle. Altitude can be switched to select by 1000 increments so I haven’t mentioned it since it’s not impacting my experience a whole lot. But an issue indeed.

So i decided to give the a310 another try again today and okay…not bad. A lot of work went into it, But again the ipad in the cockpit is something to get used to for sure as i noticed another aicraft out of the 12 has one too. But my biggest concern now besides the low quality textures inside and out(in some spots), and the frames drop. Is the sound of the aircraft itself. Its ungodly loud. And they made a solution to that which i find a cheap and lazy ‘sweep under the carpet kind of fix’ , is to be able to reduce the volume of the entire aircraft on that ipad in the cockpit. Why not just ask an Asobo dev on how to properly adjust the volume for release? I think the ideal awesome Aircraft Addon, is an addon that doesnt feel like a different development team made it. I think Asobo left a great example. I think other teams creating their own aircraft are making it really tacky with all the extra non sense.

727

Awesome addon. finally an airbus I can fly since i only have a yoke :stuck_out_tongue:

Noticed 2 “issues” so far; the strobe light isnt assignable (default binding doesnt work, and there is no LVar for this light. there is for all others, but not for strobe…)
also, I got the spoilers on an axis, and wheniver i put the fully up, the EICAS still displays ‘spoilers extended’ untill i drag the VC lever upwards.

also would be nice to import simbrief into the loadmanager on the tablet, since you can do that for the FMS route as well

Thanks. I’m using the Steam version and the path that inibuilds provided in their FAQs section leads to an empty folder.

Is there any Steam user who could find the manual for the A310?
