Thanks,

In mid-flight, the screens go black and the engines cut out. All the alarms are ringing. Unable to complete a flight.

Preflight and takeoff went well. Taxi lights didn’t light up the runway though. It was night so I turned on the Captain’s reading light. 5% lit up the whole side of the cockpit like a nuke went off. So I turned the light off then back on and the game froze. After a few minutes I quit. XBOX Series X.

I’m a beginner and don’t know how to use any programs or the in aircraft flight computer… is that the only way I can set a flight plan? I tried using the EFB but the airplane doesn’t seem to even acknowledge the inputs I made in the menu…

I followed the steps in ā€œ Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) introductionā€ but that didn’t do anything in the actual airplane itself.

I was really looking forward to playing this game and now I just find myself frustrated that I can’t even tell the plane where I want to go…

Not having tried the A321LR, but maybe some Youtube Tutorials or the manual for FS2020’s FlyByWire A320 might be helpful for you to get an idea of the systems and the steps involved to get the bird up and running.

EDIT and DISCLAIMER: I don’t know if MSFS24 allows Simbrief import into the FMC as used by FlyByWire. You might have to enter waypoints manually, which, on long flights, can be a bit… boring and longish.

Nosewheel steering only animates, but has zero effect on direction. I strongly suspect streaming problems to be the issue, but other non-Inibuilds aircraft steer fine with a tiller.

The deployment of speedbrakes causes the engines to stop and the screens go black

I can’t even turn on external power to start with. I’ll revisit this if servers calm down

problem solved on my side. Double mapping on a control that affects the RPM.

All the inbuilds planes use Simbrief

Does anybody also has the error message. FlightPlan uses different airframe when loading the simbrief FPLN?

Cant even leave the gate. Everything in the cockpit quits responding to input. I’ve tried numerous times to make it work and at some point after turning on everything and entering a flight plan the whole cockpit quites responding to input.

I’ve been experiencing a lot of hassle with this bird this evening. Yesterday was fine and I completed two short-haul IFR flights with zero problems. But today after entering the flightplan from the EFB, on the F-Plan page, I’ve noticed load of my waypoints have dissapeared. I only noticed this during the climb out when the plane stops following the magenta flight path and continues in a straight line. Yes, I selected IFR from the EFB drop down.

I’ve tried different destinations too and different SIDs but all the F-Plan page shows is the departure, sid t/c, t/d, star and arrival. None of the waypoints in between.The EFB still shows the full flightplan and yes it’s been submitted to the ATC and avionics. As it all worked yesterday, I’m assuming this is a ME problem.

Is this happening for anybody else or could anybody suggest what I may be doing wrong?

Thank you.

Aye, figured out if your cockpit freezes if you hit escape and then resume it starts responding again. So dumb.

Tried to do a quick flight this evening. Got all set up on the gate - pushback did not work at all. Chocks removed, parking brake off. Engines responded to power, but it did not move forward either. I even tried setting the preset ā€˜ready for takeoff’ which yielded no responses either.

Decided to just spawn on the runway instead and all was well. Strange.

Sigh*

The A321 does not seem to accept simbrief data from the dispatch add on for the EFB. I suspect theres a conflict between the aircraft and Simbrief and the parameters the A321 has from the drop down menu in Simbrief. So as far as flightplans are concerned the A321 does not compute because the in-game EFB doesnt generate flightplans for this aircraft either.

Was this title even tested prior to launch?!

I had this problem too with a couple inibuilds planes in a couple parking spots. Instead of respawning, use slew mode, shift-z I think and use the controller to back up, and set the plane on the taxi way.

I had the same issue with their Beluga yesterday… Hacking the entire flightplan into the FMC by hand for just a short hop from Toulouse to Hamburg. Not a pleasant experience.

Btw: am I only able to enter one waypoint at a time into the TMPY F-Plan in real life, too?

I cba doing flightplans by hand. Thats just not happening.

The A321 is now accepting Simbrief flightplans for me. Dont ask me how or why, as I don’t know.
