Hello, The MFD dials for the flight plan do not light up, I tried everything, nothing happened! It's only when I start MSFS 2020 with the plane on the runway that everything turns on.
Does anyone know the solution to resolve this problem or is it a bug?
Thanks in advance
Lassao

but also the jetway not being aligned is a downer


Ditto on the doorpoint position for jetways.  Hopefully an easy edit.

Also since this addon is based on the A320neo the auto trim system makes the stabilizer look ridiculous, this was at -1500/fpm at 280kts and it's acting like I'm about to stall.

Anyone else having autopilot issues? After activating the aircraft, it just keeps spinning.... plus animation panel doesn't work


Can you describe the issue with A/P in more details?


I solved the problem with AP by resetting the flight... Maybe it was something with the joystick here...
Just for feedback, the aircraft trim has shown very unrealistic values ​​and behaviors.
Would you have a roadmap of what to expect in terms of upgrades and progress for the aircraft? Can we expect more original PFDs etc? The work with the aircraft modeling is very well done... we just need more immersion in these systems.

MFDs do not come alive after powering up?  Same with the Autopilot panel. Nothing in the dials. Also missing the yoke.
How do we open doors and more?

Regarding Yoke see the other post in this subforum. There is a clickspot to use, but it will be visible by default following the next update.

Disappointed to hear the default systems are from the A320 Neo, which isn't going to be much like what you find in a 717.

For those who have this, does it feel different than the Neo? I wonder how much the flight model is like an actual 717. The promo page making absolutely zero mention of the flight model does not install hope in me here.

I'm not looking for (no do I even want!) Fenix level of detail/systems here. But I'd like it to fly like an actual 717, and have systems that are reasonably close to the real plane's.

Yeah it has the fly-by-wire of the dafault which is frustrating because the trim is automatic and creates some frustration. Other than that it FEELS like a 717 so there's that.

Having frustration with the animation panel (R-alt + click not doing it)


Hold right Alt on your keyboard and left-click on the screen - it will pop-up. You can control the animations. Unfortunately, if you switch to the external view or drone camera, you cannot click, as it only works when you’re in the cockpit.


The part you forgot to mention was the clickspots were right of the text! So to use the animations you click where my arrow is!

I'm guessing you will NOT be providing paintkits as always right?

Okay. I finally found out how to fix this (for PC). The key assigned to turn on  the Avionics Master Switch is the Page Up key. I don't remember setting this key to that, but at least I have it there. Pressing the Page Up key turned my Avionics On, so now the MFD and Autopilot are visible.

To find this setting, I went to Controls > Keyboard > then searched for Avionics and came up with that result. For Xbox, you probably need to search for Avionics and set a button for it (set it temporarily I guess then reset the said button to its former setting (I'm not a Console player so I can't help much on)).
