my honeycomb is incompatable every time I goto idle engines shut down, electrics turn off it's a complete kill to all

Could it be a double binding? Maybe worth trying setting up a new controller profile for the aircraft, with absolutely no bindings already in place.

sounds are MEH unfortunately their A350 ground noises are so good they could be sold separately... yet here, NO GROUND noises... what TF I am angry.... just a dull roar as is default... anyone here have the flightFX Citation X knows what I mean when a complany CAN make good ground roll soudns , again the ini a350 has fabulous roll, rattle noises..this has none....

but here's my take on the whole thing so far..... I "do like" it...

yes my error I keep finding stupid pre assinged "mixture" to throttle sliders in my honeycomb throttle system... ugh I wish jets did not interpret mixture but they do... easy to fix

In the old days, I would leave my airplane flying on AP overnight. In 2025, with environmental and power cost concerns, 4x speed seems too slow for the 10h+ flights that the A340-300 typically flies. I regularly use 8x speed over the ocean with the PMDG 777.

A 10 hour flight at 4x is just 2 and half hours. That's reasonable enough.

I would agree, 8x is the sweet spot for long haul airliners and is what I use on the 777 usually.

I honestly prefer the fslabs (and others) "jump to" solution, with proper calculations of flight times, fuel, etc...

I agree. I saw it working pretty flawless and I really hope other developers like Fenix and PMDG will add it into their aircraft in the future.

A "Jump to" solution does not give me that feeling of a flight/journey. I could then just save/load a takeoff and lading situation at this point.

Well according to a post on the FSElite comment section, this screenshots shows the A340 under FBW "normal law" allowing the plane to enter a spin 🙄

Over to you, ToLiss + Aerosoft.

 

Then don't do things that will put the jet in the spin... Been flying for over 20 years IRL and Ive never been in a spin I didn't do on purpose..

Most of the reports re: flight dynamics and ground handling seem to be quite positive from what I've read here and elsewhere, and also re: performance. So that's now got me considering this bird seriously.

That said, given some problem areas in the A350, what do folks think about:
1. Systems depth: Any evidence of "scripted" systems?
2. Landings and gear compression: does the A340 exhibit any of the landing stiffness and no visible/otherwise simulation of the gears compressing? (per the initial days of A350)
3. Flight handling and systems in non-normal scenarios, also edge-of-flight-envelope scenarios

TIA.

Yes,

Aerowinx was the first simulator I used that can easily save any situation of a flight to be picked up, from there, when you needed to, no "special effects", all precisely matching the situ as yiu restarted it, and properly adapting for any considerable weather variation in case you were using RW weather...

I see your point, but for me for instance, I feel the effect of travelling at Superman speeds and watching it not appealing, and given that MSFS is streamed I can even save the PC and network the burden of loading scenery areas I wouldn't properly observe anyway.

I don't recall exactly how it worked in P3D with FSLabs, while in Xp12 I often use it with the Tolisses which also have a very nice "jump-to" option but more restrictive since you have to be cruising and wings level when you hit the jump-to button, while in the FSLabs 321s for FS 2024 I can jump anytime 🙂

KDEN- EDDF 6hrs into flight and CTD over the Atlantic. First ctd since the first week of MSFS2024. I was panning out on the inflght map and Boom! desk-top.

Didn't have the time to test it yet, but I'll do it ASAP!

My usual direct from the hangar test is an engine failure scenario. It can be tricky in the 340 just as in any other high aspect ration 4 engine airplane... Failling 1+2 or 3+4 and then 2+4 or 1+3, gives us a lot of territory to explore in terms of basic physics & flight dynamics.

At least that feel of inertia and mass is surely present in the Inibuilds 340, and it was very pleasurable to handfly on approach and land.

Ground physics feel ok too.

I didn't look at fuel consumption and other important operational parameters. 

EDIT: First test - engine failur, first #4 then #3 too reveals poor flight dynamics of asymmetric flight. Rudder trim compensation kicks in even in manual flight - don't know if ths is a particular feature of the real 340, but reseting the trim to neutral and with #1&2 at MCT shows no hint of deflection in the beta target / sideslip cue.

Does anyone have a problem calibrating Honeycomb Bravo via EFB? My throttles when physically pushed all the way forward, shows only FL MCT detent not TOGA.

Sure, but I generally do that over the ocean and focus the camera on the instruments as I also don’t enjoy the unrealistic experience of flying at such blazing speeds. Again, there is no right way of doing this. Either time acceleration or 'jump-to' are unrealistic but very useful features, not only for the planet, but also to make sure we remain functional human beings. 😀
