Update Dev Version works perfectly no problem climbing to cruise performance is spot on.

 

Anyone else using Experimental version have issues with the climb?

I'm flying it right as we speak and I did not have problems with the climb, but I did notice the new fuel burn numbers. I'm flying KBOS to LXGB and I'm an hour out with 4,500 lbs of fuel left, burning 1,800 per engine per hour. Should be fun.

I did the math, and the new simbrief fuel profile (It used to be M25) should probably be set around M15-17. I will use M16 going forward from today.

I took the exp FBW version up to FL370 with no problems. Was fairly heavy too.

Would you be willing to post a screen shot of you entire profile for this aircraft (or at least all the data)?.  I am just using the default A320, I did not know that there were some custom ones floating around.  Thanks

Is it just me - the very latest update as of 29/3 - the ground role is much better!!! now the A320 doesn't surge ahead - but is much more realistic... 

[DAD 2,650]

wow, that experimental mod is just fine. No issues at all, just flew EDDM into LIEO and all smooth, let it fly ILS05 and finally for the first time the neo did a complete autoland without nosediving when some 100 feet above the rwy, perfect landing. now I will try my next leg LIEO into EGLC for a steep approach path 🙂

[737_800 434]

Yes, it's beautiful. They even fixed the issue with the increasing taxi speed even while on idle thrust. No it's deccelerating as it shoud be.

I just have the issue that my trottle switch on my joystick is acting weird. The engines start to response when I pull the throttle lever on my logitech extreme pro to 50%. I played a bit with sensitivey setting, but could not determine what would change this misbehaviour. Anyone know a solution for that?

Otherwise, really amazing, it's getting more and more enjoyable!

Did you try the throttle calibration in the EFB?

[DAD 2,650]

Actually just started at LIEO and faced also some speed/climb issues. The neo was throwing some nice bells and ding ding ding sounds at me, barely exceeded Vmin and did not want to climb. Until I realized that when dialing the course I must have hit by mistake the speed knob which was set to 100 kts only, thus A/T tried to keep meticulously that speed which remained well above the red tape but obviously caused some warning sounds and lack of climb performance. Once I set speed to managed all was fine again... just as an idea unless I am the only dummy here 😉

Update:

 

Tried everything remove all addons from community folder bar the Flybywire updated to the latest version, Calibrated the throttle using the EFB, get to around FL320 climbing at 2-300 Fpm 

 

Sometimes it just levels off and wont climb any higher even at Mach 0.78, don't understand the issue I am far from novice been doing this since 1988 lol

 

I just want it to work 😰

Your ground spoilers should not be armed at 30000 ft but that won’t be the cause... and  your aircraft is not not overweight. 

Try deleting the entire FBW mod folder in your Community. Delete the entire folder. Then reinstall a fresh copy of latest mod into the Community Folder. Maybe that will help.

its funny because theres people that claim how it was before is how the real aircraft handles. Im not a pilot but it certainly felt out of control in the sim and doesnt feel like the pilots are constantly pumping the breaks while taxiing in real life nor does it look like that when spectating from the ground. I much prefer the way it is now. I couldnt even look down for 5 seconds before this new update

Hi

 

Yes already tried that, yeah I know about the spoilers but this was just a test flight thats why it shows, I have done full FMC config still the same with it in full config.

 

Thanks

One other thing maybe is a livery or seemingly unrelated mod that is perhaps incompatible.

I guess you are using Live Weather? The TAT and SAT look normal to me ruling out a OAT that is too high, which would give you bad performance.

Tried it with all mods removed still the same
