A310 Issues after power outage

Featured Replies

Greetings!

Last night I was simming with the A310 when there was a power outage at my house (nasty ice storm up here in SE North Dakota).

Late this afternoon, I loaded up MSFS to start the flight over. Upon loading the A310 in a cold and dark state, I went to the overhead panel to turn on the batteries and engage the external power. The aircraft made none of its usual noises when clicking those buttons, and the displays on the main panel did not power on.

I checked other aircraft and they are working fine. Currently in a flight with the B789 and there are not any issues.

Anyone have any ideas on how this might be fixed (yes, I know - I need an automatic power backup battery for my gaming computer).

Regards,

Scott

All I can think of is maybe the state saving got confused with the sudden power failure.  I'd suggest re-loading the A310 with a new flight and see if it straightens itself out.

Thanks for the reply, I did load the aircraft 3 or 4 times. I could not load a flight since there was not any power on the aircraft.

This is the other issue I reported in a recent thread. Any way to reset this state saving?

I would go into the EFB and select a different state (i.e. "ready for takeoff") and then close out the sim and then re-load.

Yes, that is what I am planning to do tomorrow morning.

known issue, ini is looking into it.

I just tried loading different panel states, didn't make any difference.

My A310 appears to be dead 😦

I'm glad to hear that IniBuilds is looking into it.

I removed the A310 via the Content Manager, exited the sim and rebooted the computer.

Started MSFS and reinstalled the A310 via the Content Manager and loaded the aircraft at an airport.

Unfortunately, no difference. The aircraft is still dead.

And an empty Community folder?   That's really a stumper.

I just flew the A310 yesterday and all went well.  If there is some procedure to activate this bug, I have never found it.   I know I have never touched any of the state-saving buttons.

It's a bug introduced by MSFS with the latest navdata update. Ini already fixed it, but it's Microsoft that has to deliver the fix (which will take ages).

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