Lost control of Fenix A320

Featured Replies

I was just completing a long flight from LGAV to EGLL in the Fenix A320 and suddenly the aircracft initiated an uncommanded left bank (going against what the flight directors were telling it to do) and just held this bank.

I tried to disconnect the AP and correct it myself, but even with full right deflection on the side stick (and the side stick was moving in the virtual cockpit), the ailerons were not responding. See this screenshot (AP disconnected, side stick on full right deflection, yet no response from ailerons) https://imgur.com/r8c070H

I also tried to switch to heading mode, did a DIRECT TO another waypoint, but nothing, it just kept holding this bank.

Any help or advice greatly appreciated. I haven't yet managed to complete one succesful flight in MSFS.

Honestly, I don't know what I did wrong in another life...!

I first installed MSFS two years ago but didn't really use it as there weren't any study level airliners. Re-installed it last weekend as I'd read a lot about the Fenix A320 and I've had so many issues (I know it's a steep learning curve but these seem to be sim issues). First it was the SimObjects issue, then problems with the TCA thottle quadrant and just when I thought I'd solved it all, this happens.

If you've got any ideas or advice, I'd greatly appreciate them...!

But the controller was moving the side stick with the commands I was giving it. It was like the Airbus was ignoring the commands (side stick and rudder, both separate controllers).

A few weeks back I was about 5 miles out on final into KORD after a flight from Vancouver. When I disconnected the AP I also experienced a steep left bank that was unrecoverable. Tried reconnecting the AP but it didn't make a difference. I think Fenix is aware of these bugs and is working on it.

Sorry for the naive question, but why is the MCDU obviously untouched and in "Select Desired System" state and the EFB not logged in in your screenshot? I can see that you must have put in some flight plan and speed and cpurse are in managed mode. So maybe somehow the Fenix software lost connection to the plane or got reset? Seems to be a question for the Fenix support.

Where’s the best place to get Fenix support?

Looking at the image the PFD shows you in overspeed which can occur with a dynamic weather change. Someone had this problem before where the sim had been paused so they had to re pause then un pause to solve it.

Because he is a 👹.... He probably go to google and search for issues with MSFS and try to find the most obscure ones, so nobody really can solve it for him, so he's threads catch momentum. Sometimes he throws in the "Prepar3D is miles ahead" or "this is nothing more than a xbox game" just to spice things up. 😂. It starts to get really entertaining.

I had a “company message” ECAM message and was in the middle of checking that on the MCDU when it started banking. 
 

I use an iPad as the EFB so don’t touch the one in the virtual cockpit.

The pic actually shows no aileron deflection at all in the ECAM display, are you sure it's not a hardware / control bind issue?

For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.
