FeelThere A320 - Is it normal for this aircraft to overspeed and not follow the set altitudes throughout the route?

 

I have to manually adjust the altitude and speed throughout my entire flights to fly safely, because the aircraft constantly pitches up randomly, overspeeds, and then the A/T and Autopilot buttons turn off.

 

Basically the only thing that the aircraft does correctly is follow the flight plan route. But when it decides to overspeed it will shut down the autopilot and go off course.

I love Airbus so much.. but man I want a perfect one. Or atleast one that autopilots correctly.

Wait for the FS Labs airbus!!!

 

The Wilco rendition is garbage.

hahaha I cant wait for that thing! i want it now.

i want it now

 

Jerad, I know how ya feel mate!!

 

It's about time we had a decent Airbus!!!

I seem to have things other way around, it doesn't overspeed and keeps altitude, but flies off route in about 60% of flights I do.

I fly the FeelThere 'bus and although it's not a good Airbus rendition, it flies surprisingly good. The 'only' issues i have are while descending, it struggles to follow the vertical profile. It will either descend at 300ft/m or 5500ft/m to try and compensate for its own errors. This happens with the CDU fully programmed for descent (temperature, wind, QNH, etc).

 

Other issue i find is while flying a STAR it will sometimes 'eat up' fixes. If a fix is too close to another, it will eat them up and make them disappear from the ND. If many fixes are along a racetrack, it may eat up 5 or 6 fixes in a row making the aircraft lose sense of where it is. Ridiculous :)

 

On climb and cruise i have no issues, it's all good. This is not a complaint (complaining about Wilco is about the same as taking sand to the beach or pushing a boat with a rope) just stating my experiences with their Airbuses.

Yup, I have the Wilco Airbuses (both volumes of the original, not the EVO version), and whilst there are some things about them that I do not like, I would say that calling them garbage was a bit over the top. It is true that there is the odd glitch with them and that one or two things about vertical profiles is not great, but I have always found that they remain flyable and fun to play around with, and it's not a desperately bad stab at the systems on a real 'Bus even in spite of some of the things it lacks.

 

Nevertheless, like pretty much every other airliner fan in the FS world, I am awaiting the FSL one with much anticipation and hope.

Fully agree Al......Wilco is not that bas except the design.... but there are acouple of repaints (russian fsrepaints) that help giving him a good look. And, when I see the Blackbox Airbus, I figured out Wilco was not that bad.....

The problem you are experiencing is due to your throttle settings.

 

For cruise your throttle should be in the cruise position. If your throttles are fuly forward the aircraft will give this behaviour. On the EICAS display you should move the throttles back, through Flex to 'climb. Then all will be well.

 

All the Airbus have this unique throttle system.
