Greetings, I would like to know if the following problem has occurred to you: it turns out that when I use the Asobo airbus 320, it is happening to me. that when I activate the autopilot, the plane immediately turns to the right, and not only this, but when I select both the speed and altitude button, the plane maintains the ranges, but when I want to select the button for course selection, simply, the plane does not obey the turn or coordinate that I am giving it, so that it turns, nor does it maintain the indicated course. which has been very traumatic on long flights, since with the exaggerated effects of weather, wind, the autopilot is deactivated. I would greatly appreciate it if you could help me find a solution to this inconvenience. since not there reason, because the course selector, I turn it and press the button, but even so it does not respond. thank you very much for your help.
Are you familiar with the programming and use of the Asobo A320 MCDU and FCU (autopilot)?
Greetings, if you mean that I know the buttons in the cockpit to activate the auto-pilot systems, I know the basics, what they teach in tutorials, and what I’ve done in previous versions of this game. the procedure I do is activate, buttons, AP1, A/THR and FL button. later in each one of them, I add the value, of altitude, and of speed, and the plane maintains them, but when I place the course to which I want to go, I place the value and activate the button with click, but the plane does not maintain the heading, and it doesn’t take the gradient, which I’m asking it to execute? what system are you referring to? In addition to this that I mentioned, thank you very much.
Are you trying to use the “Heading” function of the plane, or are your trying to fly a course programmed in the MCDU?
Juan,
in an Airbus if you PRESS one of the autopilot knobs, you tell the aircraft to use “managed mode”, basically what you fed into the flight computers for routing and performance. If you PULL the knobs you tell it to use “selected mode”, what you dialed in the boxes. If there is a dot int he boxes it’s “managed”, if there is no dot it’s “selected”.
I recommend you watch some youtube vids about the topic, it’s a bit too much to simply write down in a forum post. Go step by step.
dear, it may be too simple for you, for me due to some mistake, in my configuration, it is not, even so the forums are free and open, to expose the doubts. that each one has, and there is no level of complexity required to ask. Anyway, thanks for your help, but in this case it doesn’t work for me, since what I do is just like that, I select the course with the middle button of my mouse, but it doesn’t work for me. very gentle.
It might be a simple misunderstanding on my side of course but I just don’t get what you mean when you use the wrong terms. That’s why I recommend to watch tutorials at youtube since they SHOW what they do while they talk.
Example: A “course” is a direction towards a radio station or a waypoint in aviation and you don’t set it anywhere manually during a typical flight on an Airbus. What you dial in are headings or tracks.
Flying an Airbus correctly is certainly not simple, when I said “too much to simply write down in a forum post” it meant that it’s too much and too complicated to write it down within a forum post. It’s much more helpful for you to google for the actual FCOM (flight crew operations manual) and work yourself through the related parts.
What I explained above is the very very very basic understanding of the FCU (autopilot panel) and there is a lot going on behind the scenes depending on whether you push or pull a knob. The boxes above the turn knobs and the FMA in the PFD give you information about what modes you are in as mentioned above. An Airbus, not even the totally default one, is not a jump-in-and-succeed aircraft, it requires a bit of research and reading. The trainings that come with the sim are, excuse me, garbage. As unfortunate as it is.
The basics: if you want to make the aircraft fly into the direction you want it you need to dial the heading into the box and then pull the knob out. There should appear an arrow down whn you search the clickspot in “legacy” mouse settings. Same for the speed. to change altitude manually dial the new target altitude in and then right next to it select the climb or descend rate and pull the VS knob out as well.
If you pull a knob out you want to take the control to you, if you push it in you give it to the airplane.
Hi, it just happen to me last night. I flew one flight without incidents but in the second flight, after the takeoff, when I connected autopilot the plane starts a turn to the right that it doesn’t corresponds to course programmed in the MCDU. “Heading” function is not working too. The only option is to fly manually.
I didn’t have time to check which is the issue (it happens last night), but I’m just trying to know if it’s a common issue.
You solved this issue?
You must understand the FCU can override the MCDU flight plan.
That happens on real flights in response to ATC requests.
I suggest researching how the FCU works. It’s a simple device when you understand managed and unmanaged controls for SPD, HDG, ALT and V/S

I want to share a simple solution I have applied in case it can help someone with the same problem.
THE SOLUTION IS SIMPLE!! At least for me and I think it’s the first thing you should check if you have the same issue.
IT’S A PHYSICAL ISSUE of your controls. You probably need to replace your controller. Before changing it you can check it modifying SENSITIVITY on CONTROLS OPTIONS.
I hope it helps you if you are in the same situation.
