Project Airbus 319

[Philip McNiel 1282687]

Hi! I've been experimenting with the Project Airbus 319 with (oversimplified for airliner noobs like me) FMC. Here's the link to the specific file I downloaded: http://library.avsim.net/search.php?CatID=fsx&SearchTerm=project+airbus+airbus&Sort=Size&ScanMode=0&Go=Change+View

 

Here are my two problems:

 

1) I can't seem to do anything with the autopilot except for "push to level off" on the vertical speed hold knob (it doesn't appear to be clickable, even though my cursor turns into a hand when I mouse over it).

 

2) When I do click that level-off knob (or do anything else that causes the plane to idle back the throttles), they get stuck in the idle position.

 

Also, engine startup has to be at least mostly manual if not entirely manual--Ctrl+E doesn't really work well, if at all, on this model.

 

I really like this plane except for these problems. Does anyone know where I can get a less buggy version?

SOLVED (well, kind of): I had to start reading through the manual to realize that they'd changed the autopilot so that you had to use the mouse wheel to set the desired values.

 

I was surprised to say the least, and I'm a bit annoyed because not every mouse's wheel seems to work, but at least I can use the touchpad "wheel" on my laptop. If anyone has any tips on how to replace this autopilot functionality with the default A321 autopilot, I'd appreciate that--I only really wanted this FMC so I could fly RNAV STARS and approaches anyway lol

Use vasFMC together with Project Airbus aircraft. vasFMC, which features a guidance panel as well, should contain a ready-to-fly model already.
