Re: ver 2.5 beta 1 WIN/MAC 64 bit

Short feedback (Windows10x64, X-Plane 10.40r1).
-Installed and activated ---- > No problem, great.
-FBW “roll” tuned for low airspeed --> I felt better control of aircraft, nice.

Thanks JAR for update.

Re: ver 2.5 beta 1 WIN/MAC 64 bit

Flew EGLL to EIDW.  Noticed the following:

- Plane CTD when loaded a couple of times.  It may have been an issue with my download.  Deleted and downloaded again and it seems ok now.
- On loading, there is a crash sound, the FO says Power Set and the CC announcement comes on that normally happens after the doors are shut.  This is before any power is turned on.
- Power set wasn't announced when accelerating for take off
- Only got sound from ADR switches - no sound for any other switches
- Light above Captains side window doesn't work - sorry, didn't check FO's side

Otherwise, there were no issues.

Re: ver 2.5 beta 1 WIN/MAC 64 bit

An ongoing problem is when you enter a flight level into the FMC this generates points which should be defined by just altitude, not position, BUT the FMC generation of these non-existent geographic waypoints, such as (TC) (TD) distorts the course to be flown to the next geographic waypoint. The only way to get a correct course to the next geographic waypoint is to omit the entry of a flight level into the FMC

Re: ver 2.5 beta 1 WIN/MAC 64 bit

My first test flight with the A320Neo v2.5beta1 was from KPHL to KATL on the DIRTY approach. FL300 CI 20. Some findings:

- T/C was ± 50 nm off (screenshot)
- ANP was slightly off but still compliant with RNP, no big deal
- Frame rate is fickle; starting off with 40 FPS; near KATL drops to 19 and goes back to 31 for no apparent reason; looking outside into the blue at ALT CRZ I get 160 FPS; with cockpit view the FPS tumbles down to 30
- pitch of nose is a bit hysteric when catching GS or dropping flaps; there's no smooth transition; also when trying to get an altitude restraint, the pitch is weird and not comfy for PAX
- ALT CSTR are not visible in LEGS page or end up with a slightly different number
- not all waypoints are included when choosing the ILS for KATL27R

I'll fly KATL-KMCO tonight. Will let you know.

Re: ver 2.5 beta 1 WIN/MAC 64 bit

Windows10x64, X-Plane 10.40r1
I found a possible bug in CHECKLIST (Mike).
- BEFORE  TAKEOFF -> when said ENGINE MODE SELECTOR (never stop, loop sound).

p.s
before line up rwy, engine mode selektor was at CRANK positon. I set zo NORMAL, but loop checklist sound (ENGINE MODE SELECTOR, ENGINE MODE SELECTOR, ENGINE MODE SELECTOR...)

I will test again.
that is it for now.

Re: ver 2.5 beta 1 WIN/MAC 64 bit

Hi,

test flight with the A320Neo v2.5beta1 from ESGG to LEPA landing 06 R. FL370-390 CI 18. Some remarks:
- Weather radar at different range Ok very good
- T/C was ± 10-15 nm
-Fuel "door" not closed automatically after the departure from the fuel truck (groundhandling deluxe) (I needed to make it with the standard plugin
-the plane follow not always the flight plan (especially when it turns) difference from +- 5 NM
-Pack 1 and 2 (Air Cond) not automatically shut in auto (on)
-no possibility to add speed constraint into the FMC for the STAR and also for the selected speed

That's all for now

Thanks for your work
