A few useful tips from A330 driver how to deal with broken (or unfinished I should say) VNAV.

I also realised today that with cabin turned off the dome light in the cockpit does not work. I always wondered why the upper panel is so bloody dark with Ambient LT knob turned all the way to the right.
Just got this error message “DEVICEFLOWTOKEN EXPIRED”.
Never saw this before. How do I fix whatever this means?
I got this same error a day or two ago in the Fenix so it is not specific to the A380…
Where did you actually see this error message? I.e. FMC, modal FS2020 dialog box, etc?
it popped up on my main cockpit view.
Labeled “AUTHENTICATION ERROR”.
Had the same happen to me, but FMC1 eventually came back on
Same here, and in the JF RJ100. Think it is probably a MS Azure thing, and seems to have gone away again.
I’ve seen this too, I have a Honeycomb setup, couldn’t get electrical power out of the APU, engine generator or ground power, and I turned the master switches on my Honeycomb to on, and all was good.
I don’t have a Honeycomb or a master switch on my stick. So there must be more to it.
If anyone is still shooting long past their exit with the BTV autobrakes setting, make sure to retard the throttles when the retard callout starts, don’t wait for 2, 3 or more retard callouts before doing so. BTV seems to be quite accurate when throttling down at first opportunity.
Nice first experience with the A380. Good tuto here to start: https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/E0uM7PGLWbc
However, I can’t go in managed mode after entering everything as required: in the MCDU, Ftl plan from Simbrief, removed discontinuties, etc.
I may have missed something…
Did you enter the weights/fuel in the MCDU?
Here’s my hypothesis.
According to the PFD, you are in HDG mode (green) with NAV mode armed (cyan).
On the MFD, you are right of your flight plan by a few nautical miles. Also, the prevailing wind is pushing you further right, so farther off track.
You can either adjust your heading to intercept the track and NAV will go active, or do a DIRECT TO your active waypoint which will cause a recalculation of your track and redraw it from your current location.
Yes I’m following the plan with HDG mode.
I tought going HDG toward the path would allow engaging Managed mode but eh, can’t do. Crossing the path also don’t engage NAV (sse image, passed the path). Anything to do with Level climb message ?
That is “Lever Climb” meaning your throttle levers need to be in the Climb detent.
You’re NAV mode is armed because your track isn’t crossing the NAV mode desired track. Turn left until you cross the green line. I forget the tolerance but I think you need to be within 1nm of the track to capture.
What was your departure procedure? RNAV procedures usually have a waypoint on runway heading (or within IIRC 20degrees) to latch onto and NAV would have gone active on departure. If not you need to sequence, or use a “DIR TO from P.POS” to activate NAV.
Development version branch is now available. This is the branch I recommend since update will be much more frequent than on the stable branch.
On a side note, the A320N also got a large update (about 350 mb) on the dev branch.
I don’t see a development version for the A380X, only the 4K and 8K versions. Where did you see the Development version of the A380X?
