March 25, 20188 yr Hello Running the latest update, it looks like the FO is touching something on the FCU while on the ground. After completing the set up (Route, Perf, Speeds) etc. and having engaged the FD ON (both sides) ...it appears the FO is changing something on the FCU and I keep having to reset the FD to keep them set up properly (i.e after the FO touches the FCU, speed, vs, etc. gets all reset) Anything I can do to stop the FO doing this? thx!

It's normal behaviour with the FSL A320. Fo has to locate current HDG, ALT, VS and QNH somewhere in VAS. To help him do that, he ensures the values aren't at zero. Let him play with FCU during aircraft preparation and he'll stop once he got all the data he needs. There is an option that could stop him touching the FCU altogether, but he wouldn't be able to assist with dialling anything on that panel. Because the HDG doesn't exist until about 10 minutes after ITRS is set to NAV, it may take a while for FO to get all data when you start from cold and dark. Do not keep resetting VS or HDG while the search is on. Gerald R https://www.multicrewxp.com
