ENG SAT ABOVE FLEX TEMP

On my flight out of ENBR today (with ActiveSky) I got the following ECAM message on the ground: "ENG SAT ABOVE FLEX TEMP". The FLEX temperature was 45C and the SAT was 11C. Not sure what might have caused this.

LOL. Why didn't I think about that?

[Suggestion] Ability to hide simBrief ID

Importing your flight plan from simBrief is a really neat feature. I just have a very minor suggestion for those of us who are sometimes streaming online. Would it be possible to have a way to hide the user's simBrief ID on the SIM MENU page of the MCDU. I just don't want to inadvertently "broa...

GREEN Hydraulic Fluid Quantity

I am using version B58.0.2. I seem to remember that in previous versions, with the landing gear up, the GREEN hydraulic fluid quantity would show a level below full (which I believe is correct). Currently the level is pegged at full, even with the gears up. Maybe I imagined that in the past? Just cu...

PTU Fault

Once in a while I get a PTU Fault after starting the engines. This is on a CFM56-equipped aircraft. It doesn't seem to matter if I start #2 first or #1. The fault appears after the second engine has started. From my perspective I believe I am doing the same thing every time, so it is not clear what ...

AP Lateral Oscillations

It is infrequent but I have seen this issue several times now. While flying along the programmed flight path, with the autopilot (AP) on, the plane will not follow the direct track to the next waypoint but oscillate away from the track then back to the track then away... The "workaround" w...

Re: Changes after update to B57

There is a setting in Aircraft Options that allows to select MDA/DH or BARO/RADIO. It looks like you have the later selected, but they are functionally equivalent.

Erroneous TA/RA with traffic on same airway

I typically fly with real world traffic (PSXseecon) so it is not uncommon that, during cruise, flying along an airway, I would see traffic coming the other way at +/- 1,000 ft from my cruising altitude. In several occasions I did get a TA/RA. I don't think this should be the case. Both aircrafts wer...

Landing elevation resets to 0 when descending

I noticed on several flights, as I am flying to high altitude airports (e.g. SKBO 8,400 ft or so), that the ECAM reports the correct airport elevation for most of the flight. But then, when I am in the descent phase (not sure exactly when the change happens), the airport elevation value goes back to...

Yesterday I landed for the very first time at an airport (SLLP, La Paz, altitude 13,300 ft or so) that would require the use of the "High Altitude Landing" button. I use a Skalarki overhead but when I pressed the (guarded) button it did not illuminate "ON" and I did not see any o...

Re: Localiser alignment and general database issues (solution)

Glad to hear you got this resolved.

You might want to consider using Captain Pero's freeware (see this thread) as, among other things, it would allow to do the NAV database rebuild automatically and copy the files to remote computers. Just a suggestion of course.

[Suggestion] Default WXR/Terrain brightness

My hardware (Skalarki) does not include the second knob on the ND display brightness knob to control the brightness of the Weather or Terrain display on the ND. I find the default brightness (255) quite bright (especially if using Terrain) so that, on every flight, I have to go through the MCDU menu...

Re: Localiser alignment and general database issues (solution)

I had what seems to be a very similar issue in the past. It got resolved by making sure I was running FMGS Server with Administrator rights (as indicated by Bernd). I just wanted to stress that point.
