April 2, 20215 yr Using the Experimental FlyByWire A320 when I load a flight plan from Simbrief I get a flightplan as a dashed line instead of a solid green line on the ND, so the autopilot cannot follow it. I wonder if someone might be able to tell me what I am doing wrong please. I include a screen shot if that might help. Also it seems that I have 2 Kms to get to 35000 feet? Should be fun!! Yes I know that this is Experimental FlyByWire A320 but I rather enjoy it, wondering what is the next exciting item to be added!!. https://imgbox.com/HIr4zB83 Kind regards Richard Richard Binns MSFS 2020 & 2024- Asus ROG Strix Z390-E - Skylake i7 9700k - Asus Geforce RTX 4070 Super OC 12gb, 64gig G.Skill TridentZ DDR4 - Thermaltake Thor 850w Platinum PSU - Corsair H150i AIO Liquid CPU Cooler - H150i AIO Liquid CPU Cooler - Thermaltake V71 Case - Samsung SSD 850 EVO M.2 500GB - 2 x Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus V-Nand 1TB

April 2, 20215 yr Dashed green line on the FPL means nav mode isn't engaged. There are two clickpoints on the hdg knob. One of them activates heading mode, the other activates nav mode (i.e., "follow the flightplan laterally." or the equivalent of LNAV if you're used to Boeings). And to follow the flight plan vertically you'll want to click the altitude button - like the heading button there are two options, one follows a set altitude and the other follows the flight plan if it's got the altitudes set in it, which it looks like yours does not with that one exception. As for the 2kms to get to 35000 feet thing, you're not required to be that high in 2kms. That's just what the computer thinks you intend to do. Something's wonky with your flight plan. Might want to make sure it loaded in properly. Edited April 2, 20215 yr by eslader Ryzen 7 7800X3D/B650 X AX | 5090 | 32gig | Win10 | Pimax Crystal Light
April 2, 20215 yr Yeah, in the latest versions, the aircraft is in heading select mode when starting up cold and dark. Previously it started in managed mode. I presume this is actually a more realistic way for a crew to find the aircraft. Usually on the final inbound, ATC would have been vectoring or a localiser intercept heading would be dialled in, or an initial go-around heading would be dialled in, so the aircraft would not be in heading managed mode. It is also as far as I am aware, not a shutdown checklist item to put the selector in managed mode when shutting down.
