September 22, 200916 yr 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

THank youPMDG 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.

September 22, 200916 yr this issue has been discussed many times on the old feelThere support sub-forum for the airbus & in the old feelThere general support sub-forum.i suggest a seach at -http://iemit.com/forumno longer open to new posts, CAN be searchedsimple answer:in FS 'normal' time is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 (etc)these 'points' are data and the MCDU is designed to react to the aircraft movement through these points in 'normal time'.you 'speed up time' and data is now 1, 4, 8, 12, 16 (4x), or worse 1, 16 (16x). the aircraft JUMPS THROUGH SPACE at a rate the MCDU wasn't designed to control.the new support forum for feelThere developed products -http://forum.iemit.comregistration required-- D.

It there an official support site for Wilco products?Thanks for the help
September 23, 200916 yr 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. - Dean P3Dv4 & XP11 space
September 23, 200916 yr 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
