Leonidas,

I will not correct anything because of third party addons.
It has been said that its best to load fuel from topcat when APU is not running, as the APU logic is the one foolling around the fuel consumption.

Once the XFR valve is open, it stays open until the next refueling, which in the sim will be after the next engine stop/start cycle.

Jiri, cooling of brakes takes hours, not 5 minutes...
Try to use A/BRK LO until less than 50 kts, then be really gentle on the pedals.

Hi Jean Luc,

I did 2 landings

1. Exactly by your scenario.....HOT BRAKES AGAIN

2. AB LOW, at 50 knots short press on pedals to deactivate, then stop with reversers only, no manual braking action....HOT BRAKES AGAIN !!!!!

What to do????

2 solutions:
1. you wait with BRK FANs ON (as in the real acft...)
2. you go in the addon menu in FSX/P3D then click "cool brk".

This is NORMAL to have hot brakes, depending on the landing speed, weight etc...

I will test it with different weights and speeds. But I never saw hot brakes in any airbus cockpit video. I saw a lot of them.
And is the normal behaviour that before TO temp doesnt change when braking? Even when you do it frequently?

To avoid too much unjustified heat (its hard in FSX/P3D not too brake too hard and taxi correctly), when speed is slow, the temperatures will not rise unless you really apply brakes for a long time.

Hi,

yes I understand, it has limitations.
I have one more idea. I am using SimPhysicsP3D, this software works with braking system too, so it could be any interaction in my case. I will try to turn off SimPhysics and will try different weights and speeds.

Thank you for your help and mainly for your huge work.

masterp: I suppose you did not try to add PBD points...

Hi JL,
That mean you have already added PBD to version B44, is that correct? I just read the change log on your first post only, I will update from B42 to B44 tonite and try to add some PBD points (Format in MCDU is P/B/D, Right?).
Many thanks for your hard work Bro !!

[jeehell]

P/B/D have worked for several years now...

This happens to me often, especially when I change plight plan. Usually these strange lines seem to go to ...infinity, disappear by itself while I get closer. If not, I use DIRECT TO button...

Hello, i have a problem (from the two previous versions, which is the first a start using Jeehell A320).
When i complete the flight plan, while i fly, sometimes i see the flight path (green line) making some strange path at the arrival procedure. It looks like adding other points, some far away. It looks like a scratch draw. It may correct later and also may appears again.

My folder structure seems to be ok. My terrain (ND) works great and also all the buttons on the EFIS (Airport, Waypoints, etc)

I will provide screenshot later.

Any ideas??

Hello Jean Luc!

Do you have any idea, suggestion, instruction for that??

Thnx in advance,

Mike

It may brake by itself if not calibrated right. Try to recalibrate your brake pedals. First from Windows Control Panel and then from FMGS_config giving more tolerance (eg. 5%) to the neutral. Notice its behaviour at the taxiing. Speed should be reduced very slowly without thrust.
