GSX Updates
@Wise87 - I had the exact same experience. There is a checkbox in GSX Settings -> Troubleshooting to "Disable hotfix notifications". I have selected that option to help avoid any further issues! I like the new menu system and appreciate the effort thats been put into V4 but Im seeing mixed results from flight to flight. The once reliable Fenix integration now sometimes works and sometimes doesnt for reasons I cant fathom. I often get refulling but no passenger boarding and sometimes get nothing.

FSHUD @ FSLTL Compatibility Heads-up
@malichek As I remember it (I was using FSHUD at the time), FSLTL said that FSHUD could not use FSLTL becuase FSHUD was a commercial, paid for product, whereas FSLTL was free to use. That was seen as a contradiction. What confused things at the time and gave some conspiracy theorists something to chew on was that one of the main FSLTL developers joined BATC, a direct competitor to FSHUD around about the same time.

GSX Updates
Something is broken in 3.9.6. The interface with the Fenix A320 normally works well but now nothing happens. GSX menu has the select a gate options. It may well be another case, as mentioned earlier in this thread, of the gate I'm parked at being considered too small. Odd if it is becuase Ive used the same gate at EGPF numerous times.

Aerosoft releases update for their A346
The latest patch seems to have cured my load time problem in FS2024. Tested at a small, stock airport (EGNT) and the load time was less that 2 minutes. Exited the sim and tested again with a custom airport (EDDF) and the load time was again less than 2 minutes.

Aerosoft releases update for their A346
Thanks for mentioning that @qqwertz. I have experienced the 15 minute wait too and basically gave up on using the aircraft becuase of it. My SIM time is limited enough without waiting for 15mins for an aircraft to load. I'll try the new version and see if it has improved for me.

FSLTL: Static injection only from 2026/04/30 due to lost API
I wonder if it would be possible for FSLTL to use historic FR24 data as per BATC? Far from ideal but better than nothing?

BATC IFR Callsign via Simbrief
I simply fill in the Airline (ICAO) code and Flight number on Simbrief as you mention above but do not enter the ATC Callsign. BATC will use the Airline Code + Flight Number for your callsign.

Beyond ATC is just not there yet
@sd_flyer - It may be due to GSX integration? As part of the pushback call you get the direction to face. It has always been fine until recently.

Beyond ATC is just not there yet
Ive been happy to live with the various issues with BATC since I bought it. I know its a work in progress. I have to say however, that since the last update it has been markedly worse. In my last flight alone: told to push back and face the wrong direction. had a standoff with another aircraft taxiing towards me. told I was number 2 for takeoff when I was the only aircraft waiting to depart. I never recieved takeoff clerance. Took off and was told to stop immediately. (I didnt.). had an aircraft cleared for takeoff at my arrival airport, on the same runway, when I was already on short final with landing clearance. I know its early acess and I know the development process may well cause bugs to be introduced but the performance of the last release, compared to the improvements listed in the release notes, has been pretty woeful for me. (This is EA release not Experimental).

FSHUD @ FSLTL Compatibility Heads-up
@CFIJose yes I did read the thread. Thanks for asking. I'd rather wait and see what solution, if any, FSHUD comes up with than buy it now and use an older version of FSLTL.

FSHUD @ FSLTL Compatibility Heads-up
Pity. I was about to go back to FSHUD (as in buy it for FS2024 - I have the FS2020 version). The latest version of BATC seems to be causing more issues (for me) than Ive ever had before so it seemed worth a try. With no FSLTL I guess I'll have to wait until FSHUD comes up with a solution.

PMDG B737-700 Released
Had the same feeling almost a year ago and went for the AMD RX 9070 XT. I have not regretted it. Worth looking at as an alternative.

Official Aerosoft-Toliss A340 trailer and livestreams of it
@Trinco I had a similar issue. Deleting the WASM files eventually fixed it for me. (I had to do it twice). Make sure that you also delete the Work folder in the directory with the WASM files. For me the WASM folder was at: C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\WASM\MSFS2020\aerosoft-aircraft-a346-pro which was a bit odd as Im using FS2024 and the WASM directory has MSFS2020 mentioned in the filename path. Deleting the WASM files meant I had to reregister the product, reconnect to Simbrief and recalibrate the throttles.

Textures seem a bit lacking, wing flex is wrong and the flight model needs some work...😁

One guy's initial review of the AS/ToLiss A346
I was curious too and Google came up with this... System Specificity (A340/330): While some Airbus models (like the A320) might accept a raw number, the A340, especially in detailed simulations, requires the "F" (or "F" followed by the temperature) to ensure the computer distinguishes it from a DERATE input, where the character "D" might be used.

Official Aerosoft-Toliss A340 trailer and livestreams of it
Like you @RobJC I really like the Fenix A320 and in ini A350. So if thats any kind of measure I would say you will like the A340. Seeing lots of comments about the textures but in all honesty, in the cockpit, I just dont see any issues. In parts of the cabin and wheel wells, yes but I spend zero time in the cabin and wheel wells during a flight! Its quite a unique aircraft and given Tollis involement and QoL features like autosave, scenario save and replay, I think its worth the money.

Need help with an ICAO for Simbrief
Hi @CFIJose As @Farlis says, EJA ICAO code will get you the ExecJet callsign. Its listed as Netjets but with the ExecJet callsign used. Ive tried it with BATC and it works.
-
Official Aerosoft-Toliss A340 trailer and livestreams of it
Im using BATC too and the traffic display works. If anything, the traffic alerts are too sensitive with what I would consider too many false alerts. The door will only open after you have unlocked it on the pilots pedestal. Note too that the open status seems to time out and it locks again if you do not physically open the door after unlocking.

Need help with an ICAO for Simbrief
Ah OK! In that case EJA will get you NetJets (works with BATC). Others to try are LXJ - FLEXJET Wheels Up (Private Jets) - WUP (translates to Up Jets) Ameristar Jet Charter - AJI

Need help with an ICAO for Simbrief
Not sure if its exactly what you are looking for but Ive used the ICAO "BRO" . Its for 2Excel Aviation in the UK who amongst other things do VIP flights. It translates to the callsign BROADSWORD with BATC.

Seems a bit harsh. What exactly in the model do you find "pathetic"?
-
Official Aerosoft-Toliss A340 trailer and livestreams of it
I have not had that happen @JaneRachel. I did have to enter a new authorisation code as per an email from Aerosoft but apart from that everything in the EFB is working as expected.
-
Official Aerosoft-Toliss A340 trailer and livestreams of it
It was indeed. 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.

Official Aerosoft-Toliss A340 trailer and livestreams of it
Just completed a short hop from EGPF to EGLL to try it out. Im not an Airbus pilot so I cant comment on the handling but I immedately noticed that the aircraft was reacting to turbulance and the strong winds we have had around EGPF today on take off. More so than the Fenix A320 which is my go to aircraft. Its an aircraft that for me is both ungainly and elegent at the same time! It looks fantastic. My landing into EGLL in 25kt crosswinds was horrendous. I flared too hard and landed 3 times. I must be easily pleased as I can see nothing to complain about regarding the textures, certainly in the cockpit area. Youtube may well not being doing it justice with its compression. The inbuilt replay function puts MS/Asobo to shame. It even resets the control surfaces and instrumenation to their correct state for each point in the replay. I was able to witness my bounced landing over and over again... For me, well worth the money.

I managed to get onto the website and buy it. A bit slow but the transaction completed and I got an order acknowledgement. Only problem now is that the Aerosoft One downloader, required to install it, cant connect to their site! Ah well. Patience is a virtue. Apparently. 😉
