March 3, 20242 yr On our Thread for the FootS issue in the inibuilds forum NEW things come in some wired anomalys happens and something goeing on with this aircraft. It seems it is still there but now its coming in other than it was before.. On my yesterday flight over 4h i landed saftly on my arrival but i felt that something goeing on with this plane, like a lot of short stutters and short holds over this flight ( what i didnt had before like this ). And on my start from the runway i suddenly had some bad hickups and the plane shots all of, so only a reload helped. So something is realy bad with this Airplane and it is still far away from a safe flyable aircraft.. Unbelievable that inibuilds can't get this bird out for a normal flyable fixed aircraft ???? And you only see this issues if you doeing a lot flights and long flights, and handling somehow around with this aircraft, only doeing a 2h flight once a week is not enough to show the faulty behavior of this aircraft ! cheers 😉 08.2024 new PC is online : ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-F GAMING WIFI Mainboard, AMD Ryzen™ 9 7950X3D Prozessor, G.Skill DIMM 64 GB DDR5-6000 (2x 32 GB) Dual-Kit, MSI GeForce RTX 4090 VENTUS 3X E 24G OC Grafikkarte, 2x WD Black SN850X NVMe SSD 4 TB - Drive C+D, WD Gold Enterprise Class 12 TB for storage HDD, Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 1000W PC - Power supply, Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 EVO CPU Aircooler with 7 Heatpipes, Design Meshify 2 White TG Clear Tint Tower-Case, 3x 4K monitors 2x32 Samsung 1x27 LG 3840x2160, Windows11 Prof. 23H2 - now Windows11 Prof. 25H2 Flightsimulator Hardware: Honeycomb Throttle Bravo, Logitech Extreme 3D Pro, Logitech Flight Joke System, XBox Controller, some Thrustmaster stuff, Winwing CDU Panels.

According to Wikipedia the A300B4-200 is a different aircraft from the A300-600 (officially designated as A300B4-600) being slightly longer. A300 I also checked the list of A300 operators and PanAm shows only the A300B4 version. Operators

The A300-600 incorporated a lot of changes made for the A310. From my links with Airbus years ago, I can remember the A300-600 had at least a few changes such as the rear fuselage re-profiled to be the same as the A310, and what looked like the A310 winglets (or very similar) as an option. A quick search online also states a new 2-crew EFIS cockpit, and longer range etc. A full list of changes looks quite extensive. There will be an A300-B4 this year from Just Flight, and it will be quite different from this IniBuilds A300-600. It is the model I am waiting for actually, as I flew on Air France / Lufthansa ones many times. I was hoping for Just Flight to include the original B2 model as well, as this is much closer to the B4, but I fear even with this, the changes may be too many to incorporate. By the way, that list seems incomplete. It doesn't include the Caledonian A300-B4 for example that I know of. Edited March 3, 20242 yr by bobcat999 Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

March 3, 20242 yr The odd entry in the A300b2 lineup probably goes to the "Scandinavian Airlines variant" the A300B2-320. Only four delivered (all to SK) with the b2 fuselage and b4 wings powered by a pair of pratt & Whitney JT9Ds Of course, the re-sale value of these hybrid birds weren't great and more importantly , the range was quite poor since they had no fuel thanks in their B2 fuselage, so centre fuel tanks were later installed by SAS charter division Scanair, and type designation changed to A300B4-120.

March 3, 20242 yr 6 minutes ago, sd_flyer said: Does latest version autopilot can shoot RNAV approaches in profile mode? It was able to do this since day one. You have to follow the exact procedure, though. Being level before the FAF, hitting the "final approach" LSK on the TO/APPR page, then selecting altitude down to min alt, then hitting profile mode (it will show as armed now).

March 4, 20242 yr So I did one flight and everything worked great! The second one however I got instant CTD upon starting the flight. Does anyone else experience CTDs like that?
