iniBuilds A330 panels in 2x time and fuel burn despite sim time/rate and aircraft movement at 1x

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
(Note we have not had any issues with the default iniBuilds A330 in 2024 prior to this)

So my friend was flying the A330-200 GE on a 6 hour flight, and he doesn’t tend to sit at his computer for such long periods so he left it, assuming it would all be fine, looking on Volanta, he was flying along with me (had no issues at all) and we were both maintaining constant separation the whole way, this is important to note.

His sim was flying on real time at a 1x sim rate, but the A330 panels, for whatever reason, were on 2x sim rate, came back, chrono read 5 hours 52 minutes (mine read 2 hours 50 minutes), and his fuel was at 4 tonnes… (Mine was at 19). His plane had somehow been flying in a state at 2x the normal sim rate while actually flying at 1x sim rate if that makes sense at all, not quite sure how or why this has happened, he has not changed any settings, pressed any binds that could involve sim rate, etc. He flies the A330 rather quite a lot, but this has put him off.

If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue:
iniBuilds A330-200 (GE)

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
Just once (so far)

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. Setup and fly A330 as normally would and somehow panels are 2x despite simulation rate being 1x resulting in distance flown at 1x but fuel burn has doubled as well as chrono time (on his end, my end was normal)

UPDATE. Well we figured out that somehow sim rate got turned on even with no bindings set at all and we weren’t able to remove it even after setting bindings so had to use an external program to set it back to 1x speed. And there is a bug where the actual time in the sim doesn’t change even with sim rate on, and I guess the A330 doesn’t work well with it either.

Moved to User Support Hub since a solution has been marked.

What program did you use? I am having the same issue.

I once have a similar issue while turning my honeycomb knob, it also turing the sim rate, I just delete the key binding to plus/minus in the controller profile and fixed.
Hope this could help your issue too
