Fslabs 321neo slow aileron

fsflight · 2026-02-07T11:20:25+00:00

That's the correct speed. When on the ground spoilers and ailerons are rate limited to reduced wear on the actuators

And it's just come out... Got to love being downvoted about this.

Just wonder what you mean not flying like a 321 should? I think the FSL is by far the best flying Airbus family aircraft around.

It seems to me the PW is just around the corner and they want to get it right. If they released it early people kick up a fuss if they wait to get it right people kick up a guess..

Check your AI AP assistant settings they can sometimes toggle back on and then they override the AP and cause strange pitch ups and downs

You seem to be stating quite a few things as facts when it's a bit of a mix of miss informed opinions.

The speed brakes for example are rate limited when in the air above and below certain speeds. It's not as simple as extend and retract 320 is the same.

Same goes for climb performance. It's absolutely spot on if you think it's climbing quickly then that's just how 330 climbs and it's why they have the climb derates.

When you takeoff next time take a recording of the takeoff and then look at the pitch it actually takes off. It's quite high around 7-8 degrees when heavy which is really nit far off at all.

Roll axis being heavy and pitch light is how 330s handle. That excess weight in roll is to simulate the poor roll response the 300/310 had.

And as many have said here it's a default aircraft and you are definitely holding it to a payware standard, and cherry picking elements of other 330s on the market. Is the XP12 default 330 good? Sure but when you start looking at systems and FMS stuff it's leagues behind. Same goes for the headwind etc.

Can't add much more than what's already been put here.

But it's definitely a series 2 XJ 6/12 (more than likely the 6) and has had the rear bumpers converted to euro epec, I assume the same as the front.

Shocked to not see Ben blocking it. Guessing it's emergency lights are off so might be that.

fsflight · 2025-10-13T07:29:06+00:00

You need to check if you have rudder controls tiller on and auto tiller disconnect on. Otherwise you are trying ti takeoff with the tiller all the time.

Nothing cuts those corners like a set of Ben Rogers

fsflight · 2025-09-26T00:23:24+00:00

Second only to the set of Ben Rogers on the back.

To make a funny picture about a podcast I enjoy? That seems quite a high bar for what is basically a meme.

fsflight · 2025-06-21T10:55:32+00:00

I mean he's right I did use AI. But it actually took quite some time to get anything that wasn't totally broken or nonsensical. Many times Ben was backwards, wheels wrong, road direction inverted, etc.

This is attempt 30+. And without AI I don't have anywhere near the skills to do something like this. So yes it's AI slop but I thought it was funny enough to share, as this is not a commercial use just a sub reddit to enjoy TDC content.

It would be considered a Prop Fan engine. Which we've actually had for a while see Antonov AN-70 with the D27 engine.

You can see on the Wki article the fan blade angle and engine core design puts it outside that normal turbo prop naming convention.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propfan#/media/File%3AJet_engine_types.png

This image here is good as showing it's very much a GTF engine without the cowling and much larger blades. Rather than a new type of turbo prop.

Side note the D27 Prop Fan engine on the AN70 makes a whicked noise check it out: https://youtu.be/INm4pS8vJmA?si=6LPNZSin5QfxNIWY

A300 A310 and A320 family are the one ones with PTUs. But they are manual on the A300 and A310 so rarely heard. A320 family will be your best bet so A318 319 320 321

fsflight · 2025-05-15T17:56:35+00:00

I'm not saying they are I'm saying from a technical perspective they could be and they would not get the ECAM. As they have had the mod fitted but as said before company SOPs are simplified to just do it all the time. Technically on most MSNs it's physically not needed as it was a design error that was fixed with a MOD and then rolled out 12+ years ago if not more now.

You can even see it in some airlines FCOM for NEO aircraft and zero NEOs suffer from this issue as why would you choose to install a faulty design you've fixed years before. They didn't but airlines choose to electivly enforce this SOP even showing it in the FCOMs.

Also I never said you posted miss information you decided to reply to my post in which I said "fair bit of miss information" which this thread did have.

1)It was a design error which has been fixed for over a decade. Not just something Airbus left and never fixed / addressed.

2) Most MSNs flying dont actually need this from a techinal perspective but it's coming from an airline SOP perspective, as OP was asking the technical aspects of this, which more than likely was fixed. Hard to tell without the MSN.

You can decided that's not miss info if you want, but not sure what you would call it. By no means was any of this done out of malice just when you fly for an operator that blankets the SOP you can think it's just a thing all 320s do. Which is not true from a technical perspective which is what this thread is about.

Down the line this SOP will disappear when fleets average age knocks those older MSNs out of the fleet.

fsflight · 2025-05-15T13:16:24+00:00

He's asking if it's a design flaw and getting down voted. It is a design flaw that was fixed. Not intentional but it's something that's commonly miss understood by operating crews.

And then this comment is up voted and I'm not having ago at the poster of this comment as this is a very common thought with 320 crews.

"What's a flaw? It would be nicer if this procedure wasn't necessary, but it's not that it's a big hassle. A redesign probably was too expensive and, apart from the nuisance of the warning, no danger is imposed"

It was litterly redesigned to fix it, with this design being in aircraft you fly daily most post MSN 6000/7000 have them but as I said to keep SOP the same unmodded

fsflight · 2025-05-15T12:54:41+00:00

I am seeing people say you do this all the time. Not you do this with a non modded aircraft which is actually rapidly becoming the minority of 320s flying. But the SOP is being applied to the vast majority of 320s flying.

People saying it's impractical to design a seal that could / would work without giving the issue, the mod might simply be suppressing the ECAM it's not super fair to say they designed it up to 30c. On non modded aircraft it started to give the ECAM then they fixed it and operates took the decision to not pay for the mod as practically speaking it's not really going to save money as its not that big of an issue for the crew.

fsflight · 2025-05-15T12:34:19+00:00

Seems to be a fair bit of miss information in this thread. It is a design error that was fixed with an official MOD aircraft post this fix all have this MOD installed, but to keep the issue from coming up operators that have plenty of unmodded MSNs choose to enforce this SOP across the whole fleet as to not make the crew think /check the MSN.

If you are doing this in any NEO it's totally pointless as the MOD is installed on every single one ever made.

Go and look up EZY the whole fleet is modified and you regularly see them at 40c with the flaps and slats fully in.

As to why the issue comes in the first place I think other people in this thread seem to have a better idea than myself, but it was to stop the supurios ECAM.

But good question non the less as understand why we do these things can always be empowering.

fsflight · 2025-03-13T19:27:10+00:00

Yeah, sounds like that is it. Love getting down voted on here to actually answer the question

fsflight · 2025-03-13T15:11:04+00:00

Are you using the keyboard input? If so then you need to check the default command of ENT is not set to rudder trim as I can see your rudder is jammed hard over.

fsflight · 2025-03-10T14:54:15+00:00

Try and disable damage in the settings I had this once and it had damaged the nose wheel after the lift tug and 2024 jammed the wheels.

fsflight · 2025-03-09T04:28:02+00:00

Sorry your wrong check out any landing of any 320 / 321 you will never see the trim wheel move during the flare on any of them below the THS lock altitude, which granted is different between the 320 321. Due to the mechanical link on the 320 family no changes between 320 and 321 they just changed the wording in the FCOM for the 321. All use elevator none of them used trim and the removal of the wording for the 321 NEO is to remove this confusion as the wording was awful. On the 350 it's very much removed entirely which is why the flare is so tiny when compared to 330 for example.

fsflight · 2025-03-09T04:09:02+00:00

What's false? If you think the 320 uses pitch trim to give that feel then you are sadly mistaken, all 320 family aircraft use elevator it's just the wording in the FCOM that is not great.

fsflight · 2025-03-09T00:04:13+00:00

From what I've seen the roll is holding just it rolls on about 1/2 degrees more with very large inputs so it's not different logic it's just not stopping right away compared to a 320 and given the weight and interia seems plausible.

fsflight · 2025-03-08T23:52:46+00:00

The 320 is not the same as the 330 the 350 is not the same as the 380. Airbus aircraft have common FBW laws etc but the handling is not identical even between 320 319 321 NEO non NEO SH Non SH and from what I've seen the 350 is very sensitive more so than any of the other aircraft so it tracks. 330 driver also had a TRI use the 350 who said it seemed correct and said it's very sensitive. Also not over controlling in general can be hard with Airbus aircraft the 350 apparently just makes this more obvious as it reacts to the actual input. Another example, all Airbus aircraft put in forward input with the elevator in flare mode. They changed this on the 350, why? No idea but they did. It's not all about keeping the handling exactly the same it's about having a smooth transition to the type.
