Hi All, Hope to solve some annoying probably pilot error problems with your help.
1) Which METAR do I believe? The WX in JH or P3D as they don't appear to be the same.
2) Overspeed on climb. So I've done a nice FLEX and moved throttles to CLB however the engines just don't stop! Moving into Over-speed very rapidly. My Managed mode (set by the cost index) looks good but the display doesn't recognize the throttle selection. This can be fixed quickly by turning auto thrust off then on again when it recognizes CLB
3) On Approach everything's going well, speed and decent on ILS goes well then for no apparent reason (in approach mode) Auto-thrust goes mental and puts me into a steep climb and as per 2) goes into over-speed very quickly. (At which point I turn AT off and manually go around and land but even this has problems as AT will automatically engage and repeat. I have to be pretty quick to keep turning it off.).
4) STARS routing is mental with ludicrous turns, overflying the runway at 2000ft only to climb back to FL80 to immediately descend again. It's like this on nearly all approaches and I usually end up clearing most of the STAR until I get a nice intercept path. Why?
5) I still can't get NAVdata into JH. Which directory should I use for Navdatapro and JH. I've tried both A320FGMS and A320FGMS/Navdata but nothing seems to change it. I'm running it on all PC's and have tried it in both.
6) The Airbus manual says I should engage a DESCENT mode, but I can't find one on the Descent page in the FGMS.
These are the core of my problems at the moment and if I can get these fixed I'll be a very happy chappy. Hope you can help
Cheers
Edward
