The simulator does not save the situations well

Question

Hello again

As I already told you, w hen I save a flight and later I want to open it and continue flying it opens in the saved situation but with the engines and systems off.

In the default planes of the simulator and others everything is fine but in the two AIRBUS 320Neo and 330 when I charge the flight the two aircraft appear with the whole system off.

I can only make short flights if I want to make a long flight and I have to leave to return later I have to leave the computer on and the simulator paused.

I consulted Jard Desing and they tell me that the problem is not with the planes but with the simulator.

Can you give me a solution?  Thank

Hi,

I noticed the same issue in X-plane 10 with complex third party aircraft like the ones you are talking about.

Before departure, saving your route in the FMS will help a lot reprogramming it.

Unfortunately, if the problem cannot be reproduced with the default sim and aircraft, we will probably not be able to look for a fix. We do not guarantee that the .sit files will work with all 3rd party aircraft as there are so many variables with them.

Hi again, I just experimented this on the JarDesign A320 V3.0r1 for X-plane 11, with X-plane 11.0r1.

I haven't found any solution to have the engines turning after loading a saved situation. In this case, The flight had been saved while cruising at FL220 between LFRS and LFPG.

I only managed to restart the engines after gliding back to FL80, at 330 kts, which seems to be a bit low but I have no precise idea of the real procedure and parameters.

It is true that even at this point, the workload is tremendous if you want to come back to the situation you actualy saved. I would recommend to reset  failures at this point : this might help taking the RAM air turbine back into the fuselage and making the situation as clean as possible.

If you are willing to push JarDesign and other developpers into improving all that in close coordination with Laminar Research, I think many many people will be very happy with the result. This might be such a complicated task for everybody, with all the plugins and datarefs... I don't even want to think about it!! :D
