I’m enjoying this aircraft. But I find the clImb to be very sluggish from around 20000 feet. Takes a long time to get to cruise height
Anybody’s Parking Brake not working I try to take it off and it goes back to the applied position

Check out, you must disconnected all groundequitment. It’s a bit annoying but… ya.
I still have the problem with the fuel supply: as soon as the center tank is empty a transition to the outer wing tanks happens. After a short while you can see that only the left engine draws from the left wing tank and the right engine dies and no fuel is drawn from the right outer tank. This also happens on all other Marketplace (XBox Series X) Airbuses from LFVR (319, 320ceo,321…) but the default Asobo A320neo. This was actually mentioned in some of the threads here in the forum for quite some time but the problem still exists. Do I need to open a Zendesk report or somehow get it to LVFR?
Hi, It is very sluggish, and I couldn’t get to cruise alt as it descended to 310 and nothing I did would get it to climb. It’s a shame because the sound is amazing.
Anyone else having this problem?
It’s a sluggish climber, almost like the default a320 was before they fixed it . It’s like it’s based of that earlier build rather than the updated version. I do manage to get to cruise height without any issues, it just takes a while and at times goes down to a crawl 900fpm.
Strange, I have no issues climbing. Beyond approximately 30.000ft it climbs with 1400/1500fpm. Below that always above 2000fpm.

I tried again, and set climb to 380 and left it running for a couple of hours, but it was descending and was at 210. Series S.
Paid £25.00 for this and such a shame as I love its sound and ‘used’ look.
Unless I am doing something wrong, but it is on Auto Pilot and I left the speed on ‘C’ but maybe it is different on this model. I rarely use TOGA.
What was the target airspeed on the PFD?
We’re you flying from a flight plan?
Sometimes it doesn’t seem to target a fast enough speed. When that happens I go to manual speed mode and set it to Mach 0.74ish depending on altitude and conditions.
The plane climbs fast enough depending on what speed you want it to achieve during climb
If for example:
you set your climb speed to be 250kts till FL380 depending on your weight you should be able to reach it in between 10 to 15 minutes
if you set climb speed to be 300kts till FL380, you might be able to reach it between 15 to 22 minutes, that’s if you are fully loaded
If you set climb speed to be 320kts till FL380, it may take up to 25 minutes to reach FL380.
Usually the lighter the load, the slower the climb speed the faster you reach a high cruise level such as FL380
Also, if you are using Vertical speed as a way to reach your cruising altitude you might encounter the issue you have.
Ideally to climb to cruise either use CLB or OPEN CLB modes on the autopilot. Vertical speed will only try to keep a target vertical speed and if that means you stalling out and having the issue you mention, it will happen.

Looks like you are doing something wrong, the plane works fine for me.
Look on this and try it again 
Does it work?
Hi and thank you for your replies.
I looked at the managed speed for climb and didn’t realise that I needed to change this for the aircraft to follow it, so I changed it and it climbed with no problem.
Thank you again…In short, it was ‘pilot error’…me!!

This is a bug on the default 320 which also DOES do it the LVFR are just using default 320 systems so the bug is propagated solution is either don’t use centre tanks or if you do , shut the pumps down for the centre tank just before it runs dry

It’s very sluggish when compared to the current default neo. I still am able to climb to say 38000 with little issue. It just takes much longer

Yes, that’s correct. What is the typical climb rate of this aircraft irl?
The NEO has as it stands “new engine option”, more efficient more powerful engines which the CEO doesn’t have.
Checking now in FR24, a JFK-PUJ flight climbed to FL350 in 25 minutes Flightradar24: Live Flight Tracker - Real-Time Flight Tracker Map, that’s the typical amount of time, which varies according to weight of the aircraft.

My experience is that the problem does not happen in the default Asobo A320neo but on all other A320 variants. Anyway: thanks for the hint with the fuel pump.

I’m pretty sure it also happens in the freeware A330-300 which is based on same systems
Did a short video using the default Asobo A320neo. You can see that there is a short glitch during the transition from center to inner tanks but shortly after that everything seems fine. With the non-default versions the switch-over for one engine has a problem and dies as soon as the remaining fuel is burnt.
ooh thats interesting and strange
