I already a had preset for 4 Engine operations that I use for the A343 and the A380. I just chose that one to have the axis correctly assigned and then calibrated the detents in the EFB.
March 12Mar 12 Commercial Member My rapid review from 4 flights (I do miss working at PC Pilot mag 😉 ) Visuals = ok but will not set the world on fire. Cockpit lighting lacking a bit too. Systems = fabulous FM = not flown a real A340 but very stable and convincing. Nice feeling of the weight and inertia. Goes where you expect it when handflying down the g/s so a real joy Jane Edited March 12Mar 12 by JaneRachel - Jane Whittaker

I just saw a video with british avgeek and saw that his EFB uplink generated the same erroneous data as me. I recommend you read the chapters in the manual about this. There is a reason for that. And the data is not erroneous.

I copied it from the web page and had the option to paste it into the EFB field. Sorry to hear youre having issues and hope you get it sorted.

Thank you! that really helped! I appreciate it (I notice it refers to x-plane in that chapter which needs a quick edit) - Jane Whittaker

March 12Mar 12 I was away for some time and all good things happen while I was gone. A340-600 certainly looks promising but more keen to get Caravan instead, Even if I do buy A340 it will sit in my hanger idle as I don't do long hauls anyway. But it will be interesting to see what people think about this - Toliss certainly have a reputation when it comes system simulation. I'd expect this A340 to be far superior even better then inibuilds A340 in terms of systems simulation. Edited March 12Mar 12 by CAP1234

For me on my Velocity One Flight Yoke and Throttle (4), it was not easy or intuitive. I finally got my quads calibrated and working but it was PFM. If I lost the calibration I’m not sure I could repeat it. I THINK so, but I don’t want to try to find out. YMMV. TANSTAAFL. Blue skies, -B

March 12Mar 12 It is just as enjoyable conducting a 60 minute flight in a large airliner as it is in a small one. There are no rules in a simulator to say that you have to do long hauls in an A340.

There are no rules in a simulator to say that you have to do long hauls in an A340. To me it's not as rewarding doing short flights in a plane that primarily only does long flights. I don't judge others for it, but doing real or historically real flights I find more satisfying. 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next
March 12Mar 12 I'm a bit interested, but I got some questions: 1. Does it support higher simrates (4x or 8x)? 2. Does it have a Jump Ahead mode (such as the FSL buses and the QW787 for FSX and P3D)? 3. If not, can the fuel content be modified in flight (as any other plane but some FS9 planes and the TFDi MD-11)? We all know it's a long haul plane, but sometimes developers miss this.

March 12Mar 12 I'm happy with it - i've loved the A340-600 since the old JF/CLS F-lite one as a small simmer. Maybe its just me after work but the Autopilot FCU doesn't seem to be integrated to the default controls so I can't immediately use the controls on my Bravo - anyone else noticed this?
