A320 problems
EHM-2198 Didimo:
I was test flying this A320 just now and have found two problems:
1. The Barometric pressure gauge does not work well. The hotspots are displaced. You can however by playing around have it change between InHg and mb but to get it to actually CHANGE the barometric setting (increase/decrease) is nearly impossible.
2. Never had a problem recovering from stalls but with this one quite a drama! Even after you try to level it to recover from the stall the thing just plumets straight down to the earth's core! Was at 19000' when I took it to a stall and when I tried to recover it it could not level (power was ok), it just plummeted incontrollably to the ground, what a crater!
3. Seems a bit overpowered, when taxiing even when the throttle is IDLE and you press brakes (not to stop completely) it keeps on an on and on as if throttles where engaged a little bit more than IDLE. Never had this problem with any other a/c in my hangar.
The first time of the flight FS9 crashed on me during the climb, it simply disappeared from the PC address space. Had to start all over again (what a pain).
Anybody have these problems with the A320?
My monitor is at 1280x1024 which is the resolution of the panel.

Never had problems like that with the A320...
Can you give a bit more information on your system set-up please such as processor, operating system, RAM, graphics card etc? And do you have any hardware such as yoke/pedals/throttle unit attached? All these details can help to pinpoint technical reasons behind some problems ;)
Also can you confirm which A320 you are using - freeware or the payware one?
Thanks :P
EHM-2198 Didimo:
I had the freeware version of the A320 for FS2004.
I have a CH Products yoke as well as the pedals (both USB), my throttle is integrated in the CH Yoke.
My processor Pentium 4, 3.0 GHz with 1 GB of DRAM running Windoze XP Pro SP2 with all known updates. My graphics card has never given me problems, it is an nVidia 5200 with 256MB of (non-shared) memory.
EHM-1465 Dominic:
Well, no clues there then...
I can't think of an obvious reason for your problems although thinking about it I've always used the A320 aliased to my PSS panel so perhaps Robert will have some ideas...
Sorry! :[
EHM-2029 Sotiris:
I can also confirm that I never had problems with the A320.
One thing regarding the idle power rolling.
Even on the real Airbusses, idle power is enough to keep your plane rolling ahead. Only when it come to cornering do you need to apply any extra throttle.
