I've been enjoying the FBW A320 for some time, but I've found 2 issues I can´t solve yet:

1) Simulation rate: I can't go over 2x. How can I speed it up? Other planes allow me to go to 8x with no issues. That 2x issue, if unsolved, would be a no go for me.

2) Setting altitude, 100 ft. Looks like the altitude knob is locked at 1000. I can't set hundreds, only thousands. My workaround was just to set VS=0 when close to the desired altitude (or handfly and level up)... as if I were flying the DC-6! I can´t find any clickspot in MCP for this (as in the P3D Aerosoft buses). How can I select hundreds then?

I went to Discord to search for both issues, but I couldn't find anything among the mess of messages there (and no, I won't give my number to Discord just for asking a question there). I could neither find anything in the documentation 😢

Any ideas?

Regarding the acceleration beyond 2, I can confirm that it gives undesirable results, but A320 fly medium to short routes, so this is understandable.

As for the selection of 100 vs 1'000 for the altitude selector, look on the top of the altitude selector knob, you will see a tiny white index that you need to click left or right: left will set the 100, right will set the 1'000.

I saw what was the problem: when hovering over the outer ring, the cursor never changed shape, as with other clickspots. That's why I never saw the clickspot. As soon as I clicked anywhere on the black knob, it worked as intended.

Oh, these are bad news then 😢😢

Thanks for your reply, Bernard!
