May 14, 20197 yr Very nice mod and thanks for sharing. However, the plane still does not fullfill my expectations, the modelling is just so not right, it bothers me each time I take the plane out for a flight. Night lighting and lighting generally is a joke (come on, taxilight illuminating the cockpit when front gear is retracted? Seriously?). If it would not be that cheap and Gustavo would not have done better repaints, I would have deleted the plane already again. The GTN mod will for sure help to make some flights at least with SID and STAR, but for the GTN, it is really annoying that the Nav database can not be updated... All in all a little bit to many compromises for this little plane to really enjoy (or recommend).

May 18, 20197 yr Hey guys ,in the overhead panel there is a section called *taws* which has gear, terr and flaps , what is this used for?
May 20, 20197 yr Activate/deactivate Terrain Awareness Warning System: The aural warnings if you forgot gear are wrong flap setting while landing. Or fly into terrain especially in mountainious area.

Earlier in this thread MarioR posted an edit to to the default sounds which I find works quite well. Aside from that, there are any number of alternatives you could use, for example sound sets from the payware Aerosoft A320 series if you have that, or possibly something (payware) from TSS, or one of a variety of freeware sound packages that are available for the A320 class aircraft. The Pratt & Whitney 1500G geared turbofans on the A220 are relatively new on the market, and have a somewhat unique sound, so there's nothing available at the moment for flight simmers that i'm aware of. You'll either have to try the edit mentioned above, or substitute something that suits your tastes. Scott
June 20, 20196 yr No saved flights are provided. And no configuration utility. I found hard to put the plane in a dark and cold state. Looks like master battery is always on, as every displays pfd, mfd, ecc.. are on. Not the best payware on the market, i would say.... Edited June 20, 20196 yr by Alberto Zanot
June 20, 20196 yr Has anyone been able to successfully follow the instructions for entering a flight plan in the FMS as provided in the A220 manual (P18)? Of course it's a simplified gauge, but it doesn't seem to recognise ICAO codes, although it does load an standard .pln flight plan.
June 21, 20196 yr No support forum on their web site, only a customer service portal. Cheap and cheerful products have their drawbacks unfortunately.

Make sure you mouse click in the "airport origin" box in the FMS window (shift+8) first, before you start entering the ICAO code. If you follow the directions in the manual it works just like it says it does. Edited June 21, 20196 yr by SunDevil56 Scott

June 21, 20196 yr @SunDevil56 Thanks for taking the time to post the screen shot. I was following the instructions in the manual (just as you explained), but it still didn't work. Your assertion that it did work, however, led me to reinstall (twice) and it finally works! Your help was really useful - thank you.
