Wilco Airbus Vol2 - Navigation goes off-course

Featured Replies

Hi I have the Wilco Airbus vol2 series, i.e. A330/A340, it has a great intermediate panel for people like me, but there are some annoying issues I face. After entering a basic (direct) flight plan into the MDCU/MCDU, and sucessfully loading it. I turn on the navigation hold on the autopilot and it works, plane turns on to the course displayed on the Navigation Display. It follows it well, but it does not seem to be fixed on it, as in the plane suddenly turns to left or right and then back on course - as if it navigation is being interferedor something. On long flights when I increase the simulation speed to x16 - it may randomly turn and go completely of course and start going round in circles. I have concluded that turbulance or any wheater problems do not cause the constant minor banking motions. Could someone help, or explain why it can simply stay on-course. THank you

PMDG had a similar problem a while back, the problem turned out to be in the registry. (Problem in the PATH entry I think it was an extra slash.) FLIGHT1 has a fix for this you can download for free. You can get it here! http://www.flight1.com/view.asp?page=libraryI don't know if that is the problem with the Wilco, but it fixed the PMDG problem.

Thanks

So does this mean there is no solution, or do I have to go at x1 speed. It there an official support site for Wilco products?Thanks for the help

The autopilot will handle 4X at cruise, as will most aircraft. Anything more than that and, as Scoob states, it's too much for any flight management system to keep up with.No, there is no official Wilco forum that I'm aware of.

Well I dont know , sometimes the plane stays on course all the way on x16, maybe its the aircraft. If I reduce the graphics, might it work, giving the mCDU more processing power
