Hello IPACS teams, a while ago I reported this error but I think the issue did not come to anything, today I simulated again the real conditions versus the simulator and there is a difference, I simulated the same conditions of wind, Same engine as the plane, weight of the aircraft and the same altitude, vertical speed and in the video of the real plane (minute 4:24) the real plane at VS 2.2fpm even loses speed, while in the simulator at a lower VS 1.7fpm it already begins to gain speed and at VS 2.2fpm it gains a lot of speed while the plane of real life loses speed, this happens by Could the whole a320 family, please you can fix it for the next update? It takes away realism from the simulator, you always have to use Speed Brakes so as not to be too high in the final approximation
Error A320 Family

4:36 they are stowing the speed brake, so the descent that you are comparing was probably done with speed brakes extended. We need more data than just short video snippets to set the glide ratio correctly. We also don't know if they used Anti-Ice during that descent section, which affects the idle thrust significantly.

True, I just realized, thank you Jan

Our A320neo also doesn't have photon-brakes...
