Black Day 3 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 The last two days i did several flights with my new toy, and beside the bugs already mentioned i had no major problems. But on my last flight i had a very critical problem with the A-Floor protection. I was on the way from LOWW to EDDP and right after the TOD (never seen the ToD or ToC markers by the way) suddenly my speed tape indicated a speed of 0 and the Alpha-Floor-Protection kicked in and stayed. I was not able to disarm the A/T which was kind of OK because the systems thought my speed was too low (very low - actually 0) and it wants me to stay alive. Then after 4-5 minutes (meanwhile i was at 5000 feet) the problem was gone, speed was displayed again (way too high at around 320) but i was in control again. In this post the zero-speed issue was also mentioned. So it seems i'm not alone with my near-death experience. Another question is, if the speed-tape goes crazy is it possible to disable the FMGCs or FACs and fly the bird safely home? Further i've noticed that when switching from Speed to Mach-Display the marker on the speed-tape disappears so i don't have a real clue how fast (in knots) i am. Other add-on planes still show me a marker even when on Mach-Mode. Btw: i really love the handling of the bird when flying manually! Actually i never did such perfect manual landings, very nice (besides the 100 feet-bug) - thanks for that! Cheers BD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterdonster 0 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Hello, I just want to throw this problem up again as I have encountered it on almost every flight now, sometimes leading to an aircraft overstress caused by overspeed. I have the impression that it always occurs when Engine Anti-Ice/ Wing Anti-Ice is enabled. The speedtape suddenly gets kicked back to 0 knots leading to "Speed! Speed!" callouts and A-Floor protection. The Bus then starts to accelerate beyond good and evil. If it happens during cruise it´s not that problematic as the airbus is mostly at full thrust, so it can´t accelerate any further even if it wants to. The problem then just disappears after a minute or so but often reoccurs after several minutes. That really destroyed some nice flights (especially if the problem occured during descend...), not to mention the annoying speed-callouts.

alehead 126 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Do you use a third party weather addon like Active Sky or something that simulates icing conditions? It may be that you have some conflict with an overactive icing simulation... Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
