ISSUE DESCRIPTION

I was watching the MSFS 2024 intro video the other day, and the Airbus A330 takeoff sequence caught my attention. As shown in the attached screenshot, there appear to be several cockpit configuration inconsistencies:

  • Thrust levers are at idle, despite the ECAM N1 indications showing FLEX/MCT or TOGA thrust.

  • The landing gear lever is in the UP position, while the gear indications show that the landing gear is still down.

  • Flaps are set to 3. Normal takeoff procedures typically use Flaps 1 for lighter takeoffs and Flaps 2 for standard operations. Flaps 3 seems unusual for this situation.

  • Rudder trim appears to be significantly offset. It looks as though it may be set to approximately 24.4.

I am curious which developer created this Airbus A330 aircraft and who was responsible for including this sequence in the intro video.

AI as a creator is randomly using statistics about controls position, so you should not be looking for any logic in the result.

The same holds e.g. for cars on streets or airplanes on taxiways, in simulator.

My assumption is that this video is from a very early WIP build of MSFS 2024.

This is a known bug in the intro video, I don’t think it will ever be fixed, the developer of the plane is inibuilds, and it’s a perfectly normal default plane.
