A380 problems

1st Official Post

    Hello , jetpack, I asked for a few minor bugs to be fixed before Easter, I understood that you guys would have been on holiday during that moment. Now it’s been days and back to work but yet you be not attended to the problem and also the request I pleaded for. 🤷🏾‍♂️

    One of the mentioned problem was the fact that while cruising, we can nolonger control the cabin lights with the ambient knob , unlike before . It’s unreal for a plane to be cruising and passengers can’t get enough rest or sleep because the lights is so bright and can’t be turned off. Secondly the captain side stick AP button doesn’t work, thirdly I humbly asked that they make the zooming capability unlimited as I find it hard to input figures on the EFB.

    The cabin light knob was a bug and this has been fixed with the major update. It is now correct that you can no longer control the cabin ambient lights with the ambient light knob. Only the cockpit ambient lights are affected by this knob. So this is already fixed and works as intended. The cabin lights dim automatically in the sim and would be dimmed by flight attendants and not by the pilots.

    The sidestick button is indeed an issue which was easy to fix internally and can be rolled out with an update.

    The EFB is indeed quite small on the A380 but I can't just make everything larger because then some menu elements flow out of the page and this needs more work to simulate correctly. It can be compare to having a responsive webpage layout but currently this is not yet implemented so it'll require a lot of work. The easier solution would be to increase the resolution and keep all texts and icons the same size.

    Thanks jet pack for you quick response. As you can see from the image, was on cruise and the attendant never dimmed the lights. Also I’m playing on mobile and can’t seem to find where to increase the resolution or keeping all text and icons larger.
