Re: Support Project Airbus A318/319/320/321 FD Special Versi

Hi Francois, I noticed that the plane gets faster in the descent. I have to use full speedbrakes to get 250ktns. Maybe you can fix that. Descent rate can be high at higher altitude, but you must decrease the V/S during the descent. At 30000 ft, you can descent with 2500/3000ft/mn of V/S, but if you...

I will improve the autoland with the FMS version of the aircraft. To engage reverse, this is the same key or joystick fu...

The flight plan page is not yet active. It will allow to save flight edited flight plan.
