renault Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I have been having a devil of a time trying to get the Airbus Neo A320 in MS2020 to keep flying after T/O Basically as it levelled off , I would always hear 3 chimes and it would go into an unrecoverable dive, with "retard playing in my ears as I came close to the ground" It all become a lot clearer to me a while ago, when I checked on the Flybywire website and discovered a hot fix for the unrecoverable dive when the flaps are left in the takeoff flap 1 position. Well who knew ?? Not moi, I'm an armchair pilot , but I sure as heck never checked that So a quick delete and reinstall of the mod and then I had a magic moment ... Luckily I had my "V" key finger at the ready . And it was happy dance time all around. No more A320 submarine , naval exercises !! Ready to go - I triple checked everything Jack @Jack Sawyer I'm too nervous to smile at you , but I do have my toes crossed!! And at this point , I hear the dreaded 3 chimes.... But all I can think of and can see is.... But somehow, in spite of it all I managed to find the flaps lever and pushed it back to 0 (I watched a youtube video expert who was very self assured even though he was only 16 ) And wonder of wonders .... I leveled off and I'm still flying And here I am , everything looks like I knew what I was doing (I didn't ....) So I had my happy dance, but its much too much excitement for someone at my age . And with that, I think that I will go back to my luts and ray tracing and stuff for a while, but I'll be back !!! Cheers Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Looks good Pete. I don't know how "study level" this plane is in 2020 but when the FMS is properly set up with your V speeds it will tell you on-sceeen when to bring up the flaps. No wonder you got the "retard" aural warning, the plane thought it was in landing mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy1252 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Well Pete, personally I think having the aircraft system calling you a retard is a bit much. Anyone can make a mistake and that seems a little impolite <grin> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a particular challenge for me , just to see if I could somehow manage it. I think the term "manage it " has to be applied very loosely Cheers Pete 7 hours ago, mikee said: Very nice Pete Thanks Mike Cheers Pete 6 hours ago, Taph said: Nice shots, even if one of them as a sully Thanks Taph It floats, maybe if the engine starts again it could be a boating experience !

It must have been something like that Cheers Pete 3 hours ago, lifejogger said: Glad you got if figured out Pete!!!!!

Apparently the real thing , also has the voice with the French accent, which seems to be a point of debate amongst many posters. I don't understand why, as being Airbus it seemed perfectly appropriate to me. Cheers Pete 1 hour ago, Stillwater said: Fantastic shots Pete! Even the submarine looked good.
