FBW A320 managed descent

So basically no altitudes but for 8000 at SEGOD and no T/C and T/D.  What am I missing and/or what did I do incorrectly?

You have to fill out the FMS completely. Also the PERF pages. Before that, there isn't anything the FMS can calculate.

 

And again "none" is the only EFB setting that makes sense, when using Simbrief import!

  • This happened to me once when my FMC PROG page had a higher planned flflight level than the one I ended up using. The plane was thus still in climb mode and didn't start a descent until I changed the

    1) Are you 100% positive you are at the flight level which is entered in the PROG page? I suggest making a screenshot from the FCU, the PROG page and the PERF cruise/descent page. I'm 99% sure it's a

  • Hi Watsi,   imgur will not let me set up an account from the UK. I have three photos (I got in a mess trying to get  3 screen shots!). Is there any other way of getting them to you.

So i set it to None and then do my thing in the FMS.  Same things as in my pictures.  Not sure what i need to do in PERF pages for CLB, CRZ, DES, APPR, etc.  Hmm......  Here are pics from PERF:

I'm going to suggest looking looking for some FBW a320 tutorials. But a basic level my workflow is this:

  1. On the EFB, make sure the flight plan has loaded.
  2. Then on the appropriate tab in the EFB, go through the fueling and boarding process. You can do "instant"
  3. Import the flight plan into the MCDU and make sure cruise alt, cost index are correct
  4. on the INIT section, click the -> arrow to get to INIT B. Enter in the ZFW, Block etc. where you see the boxes. You can also select the key next to them to auto enter a lot of them.
  5. On the FLPlan page, enter in the SIDs and STARS
  6. On the EFB, run the take off calculators (this has changed recently and I have not done it since the change)
  7. On the PERF page, enter in the flaps, V1, VR, V2 speeds.
  8. Make sure the FCP is set for altitudes etc.

 

I suggest you learn how to use this plane first. Check out our documentation. And there are a lot of how to videos regarding the A320Neo on Youtube.

I know how to set crz alt, cost, index, zfw, block, sid, star, flaps, flex, v1, v2, Vr, etc.  All was working properly up until the update on Jun 24.  I will go check on documentation and see if there are recent videos.  Until then, at least i have the Stable version working like the Dev version used to.  Thanks for the assistance to all.

Hello everybody.
Not sure that i'am in the right post.
Anyway, i'm using the developmen FBW A320. Since a pair of week, when I import a Flight plan in both ways (World map or Sim Brief) I can see that in my MCDU but if i switch the navigation Display in the PLAN PAGE , the page is empty despite in the ARC page i can see that and even in the VFR map is present.
This issue is only in development version.
IF I switch to the stable version, the PLAN page of navigation display shown correctly the flight plan:
In delepment version I already Tried:
Import flight plan from world map.
Import from Sim Brief.
Creating flight plan manually directly in the MCDU. But nothing change and the PLAN page remain empty.
Iread somewere that it should depends from the mod "flybywire-wxradar-a320-neo-dev" , but even removing it from community page, the issue remain.
I love this community because reading here I solved too the issue of missing descent .
Hope that somebody can suggest me a solution for the PLAN page.
Thanks.

You are not wrong! There is something wrong with the development version. The aircraft will not go into managed decent at all,  no matter what.  It’s been weeks like that and no one is fixing it!! No mention of the issue on their discord page. if they don’t fix it soon I Will go back to the  A320 Neo v2 which has weather radar and RNAV approaches , and does not have that issue, don’t know what is going on with FBW.

If it is not mentioned on our discord it's because it works for everybody else (also for me btw). So maybe you configured the plane wrong.
