Couldn’t find answer, you tube whilst diving below 10,000, that stopped it turned back green, But what did i forget, been flying Stable version, changed to Developers version, to see if ATC worked better(It s worse), flew my return Innsbrooke to Gatwick, when sirens started CAB pressure WARNING, im now fling at 9,000 as im typing, any thoughts guys…
Educated guess: Outflow valve is set to “manual” instead of “auto”.

Topic Author alludes to Developer’s version which could mean FBW A320. In which case this doesn’t belong in General Discussion, but rather in #third-party-addon-discussion:aircraft. Thread moved.
Thank you i will check, but if this is the case, if its not in the after, before, start up cold and dark, surely, id need to be a real pilot, to know this thing, maybe i need to stick to the standard A320neo, i like a good bit of realism, but the developer version, to much for me,
I will go back in and check your hunch hope your right..lol thx again
You are welcome, I hope this was the issue.
Basically, cabin pressurization works by highly compressed air from the engines being directed into the cabin and excessive air leaving the cabin through the outflow valve in the rear of the fuselage. Cabin pressure is actually governed by the outflow valve: closing the valve increases the cabin pressure, opening the valve lowers the cabin pressure. The lowest cabin pressure possible is the ambient pressure of the aircraft. Thus, if the outflow valve is completely open, the pressure within the cabin is equal to the ambient pressure at the aircraft’s current altitude.
Normally, pressurized cabins do not exceed a cabin altitude (i.e. the altitude in the atmosphere, where the ambient air pressure equals the cabin pressure) of about 6,000 feet. There are legal limitations and regulations if cabin altitude exceeds 10,000 feet. Therefore, there are warnings and alerts if the cabin altitude rises to certain levels.
If you are flying the A320Neo, there should be a button (named “mode sel” in the air “cabin press” section on the overhead panel above the right seat, IIRC. Clicking the button should switch between the auto and the manual mode.

Well iv just landed at EGKK from Hamburg, and my CP was climbing, but i stopped it by turning off service pk 1 and 2 turning on man switch just below the green florescent light panel, flicked switch down a couple of short clicks and !!volla !! Down came the cabin pressure, alarm stopped, but cant remember if i was told to turn off pks 1 and 2 after engine starts… happy days..
