I don't like it

Let's clear a few things up... I turned the APU off, not on at cruise I don't usually leave it on after engine startup, but I had a couple glasses of wine whilst in the cockpit I miscalculated the fuel needed because, well, see above. But 3 times since (and without the wine) I left the APU on until cruise to see if I was imagining things and, lo and behold, it happened all three times.

The first time was out of desperation. I miscalculated fuel for a long flight with a headwind, so I needed to squeeze out every drop to make it. When I switched it off I noticed a slight kick, so on the next few flights I switched it off at cruise just to see if it repeated and it has each time.

So I've been flying the Fenix A320 the last few days, and when I switch off the APU at cruise, the plane shudders momentarily and slows down a few knots. Surely this isn't true to life. Is anyone else experiencing this? It's a minor issue, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

We made it through 5 pages without a PMDG mention. A new record?

Boooo

Really? I read somewhere that it wasn't included. I know what I'm buying later today! Cheers.

I want so much to buy this because I love low-and-slow flying, but alas it doesn't include autopilot. I know the real one doesn't have it either, but I have two toddlers and it's incredibly rare for me to get stretches of more than 10 minutes without having to step away to do something for them. I wish JF had put an AP module on it, or even just a hidden altitude hold similar to the hidden VS control they have on their Arrows.

Anything like that for Windows 10? Even when I shut it down in task manager it still shows as running on Steam. The only way to clear it is via reboot, which is annoying.

It's been working just fine for me.

Man, everyone telling Asobo not to touch 2020 is so indicative of how much 2024 has smacked their reputation down from where it once stood... ...and I agree entirely.

I think it's time this forum was renamed to the PMDG Debate Club. I only log in once a day and it seems the first page of posts has at least three separate PMDG topics going at any given time. It's exhausting.

Actually this is a good question. I wouldn't mind filtering 2024 related posts. If it's so much better and working so well now, why does it need to be tangled with 2020 content? Honest question. I imagine the 2024 guys who left 2020 behind don't want to see 2020 content anymore.

Yeah, I learned that lesson quickly, which is why I didn't bother buying 2024.

Ah, so we're stuck with either accepting broken promises and broken products or having the sim we paid for taken away from us via end of support. Let's all be grateful for our gruel.
