So now it seems with the latest update the thrust reversers don't deploy anymore (at least with the standard F2 decrease thrust method, that basically any other airplane uses). These guys are really special...

Dude, you really should do just a smidge of research before throwing your shade. 

Edit:  I should do the same!  It seems that while SU15 has cratered MANY planes thrust reversers, in the case of the Ini a300-600 it seems self inflicted and the devs have a fix forthcoming, so Fiorentoni my apologies to you for assuming you were in error.

Known Issues

Today’s Sim Update 15 Beta build (1.37.4.0) contains stability fixes to address sim crashes and instances of black avionics (which have been the top reported issues from the Sim Update 15 Beta). Unfortunately, while making comprehensive changes to improve these two issues, a handful of new issues were introduced:

1.37.4.0 Known Issues

Aircraft with floats are unable to take off/land on water.

Reverse thrust is not functional on certain aircraft.

When launching a glider, releasing the winch causes the sim to crash.

I'm not on the beta, and neither are many others on Discord and the iniBuilds forum that have the same problem.

Watch your tone.

Thanks Bob.    I agree about one CTD not being a trend.    I ithink I'll try another flight, same route, and see what happens 👍

So a busy day of testing!

1. I flew the Fenix A320 on a 4hr 10min flight from EDDP to HECA. (no time acceleration, so 4hr 10mins flown in sim).   Flight completed with no issues.
2. I repeated my same flight on the same route, in the A300.    CTD after 2 hrs 40 mins.

So yeah, I'm not buying any of the "that's not the A300, that's a MSFS issue".

In addition to the above, last night, I flew the A310 on a 7 hour flight across the Atlantic.  No issues whatsoever.

The CTD I am seeing with the A300 (v1.0.7) is 100% related to the A300.

JYW I agree with u all the way!!!  The plane could be flying beautifully for 1 hr, 2 hrs 3 hrs really doesn't make a difference, next thing I know, the A300 is stuck in the sky, and nothing moving.  I have a lot of other addons, PMDG 737 series, Fly the Maaddog,, this issue never happens with these planes.

It's becoming very frustrating, and once again u loose trust and creditability of a developer.  Come on after several updates since release, almost 2 months ago. we spend our hard earned money, for this gorgeous plane, and still have these problems.

Sometimes u think its Rush to Release.

Can you post your flightplan, including SID and STAR?

I'm not sure I'll have time to fly it this weekend but I'll try.

I have a moderate amount of stuff in my Community folder, but I try to pare it down for each flight.  I use the puffinflight power line / tower mod and a few other things like that, but it's rare for me to have a CTD.   I know I have the free Aerosoft EDDP but I don't think I have any HECA scenery, not sure if that will matter.

Hi Rhett,

The flight was EDDP (Leipzig/Halle) to HECA (Cairo).  Here's the flight plan I used, from Simbrief:-

EDDP/26R GOLA1N GOLAT T202 ALOSO T703 DEXIT DCT NURMI DCT TISKO DCT DOBOT DCT MOJ DCT ALELU DCT MAVAR N132 KUMBI L612 BLT A16 DEGDI DCT HECA/05C

The EDDP and HECA were just the stock (handcrafted) ones that come with MSFS.

Fuel from Simbrief was 25.5kg tons.

Thanks very much if you do get time to try it!   Will be very interesting to see how it goes.

Hi all, I'm not sure if it's a problem with the plane, or maybe I'm doing something wrong. Leaving from LIMZ rw21, SID TOP1Q (climb runway heading, turn right intercepting vor radial to TOP vor).

Manually went on track then activated autopilot in nav mode. Plane starts flying in circles.

Did same, activating earlier profile and NAV, it  overshoot the right turn and went straight away. So I engage nav/vor (having set vor freq and radial in center console), same, starts turning circles. So did a direct to TOP, and everything worked fine.

What did I do wrong?

I'm not sure you did anything wrong. I notice similar behaviour whenever a SID contains an altitute restriction followed by an intercept to course. This might be a bug or just the way the autopilot on this old aircraft behaves. The avionics are ancient after all. The best way to fly these departures is to fly them manually until you are on the intercept course and then use the DIR TO function and go back into nav mode.

Not sure if this is the case for you but I noticed the same thing a couple days ago. Aircraft seemed to be frozen as I approached TOD.  I then noticed that the Altitude knob on my Honeycomb TQ was actually controlling the Sim Rate as well! When I decreased the altitude selector for descent, it also put my sim rate down to the lowest possible.  I then saw that the latest update changelog had supposedly fixed this issue (although never had it before). I am on that latest update and even reinstalled so not sure what is going on.  Just figured I would mention it just in case...

Nothing, it's a bug introduced a couple of updates ago and not fixed yet. @Farlis ancient or not, with an LNAV bugging out like that the real A300 would have been grounded decades ago. Anyway, it's an acknowledged bug.

Exactly. Runway heading, then at 1800ft turn right to intercept course at 4000 (vor radial/airway MZ504).

Was a very short flight from LIMZ to LIMF, just to practice departures and landings, spent more time circling around than following route. Strange it didnt either work in vor mode, where it should ignore fmc flighplan and just go for the course.

Good to know, thanks. At least I know  I'ts not me doing dumb stuff. With FBW a320 everything worked fine, same route.

My thrust reverse work's beautiful with my Honeycomb Bravo settings..

And i had a 4h 20m flight that also went just well ( V.1.0.8 )

But more to do and look if this FootS issue still exist, but i belive it is not fixed because of some reply's in the inibuild forums..

cheers 😉

You might want to go look at PMDG's 24 Feb 2024 update (there's a repost of it here in this forum), as it seems some PMDG 737 users have been having this same problem (plane stuck in the sky), which they've narrowed down to an issue with TCAS getting overrun with data.  Might be related, or might not, but I had the same issue with the Fenix A320 some weeks ago as well.
