Troubleshooting A310-300 Cockpit Activation Issues in MSFS 2020

Rudolf Schulz Guest

I have a problem with the default A310-300.  So far I was able to activate the cockpit with the following settings on the tablet:

  • Ready for Takeoff
  • Set As Default
  • Activate

The cockpit was then activated and I was able to make all the settings, e.g. speed, altitude, etc.
Suddenly it no longer works after I reinstalled the A310-300.
What do I have to do?

regards

Hi Rudolf,

From my understanding of your issue with the A310-300 in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, it seems like you're facing a challenge in activating the cockpit, especially after a reinstall. Let's delve into some potential solutions to address this.

Firstly, it's essential to verify that your installation of the A310-300 was done correctly. Even a minor hiccup during the install process can lead to functionality issues like the one you're experiencing. Here are a few steps to consider:

  • Ensure that the installation files for the A310-300 are not corrupted. If possible, download them again and reinstall.
  • Check for any updates for MSFS 2020 itself. Occasionally, aircraft behavior can be influenced by the core simulator updates.
  • Verify that other aircraft in your MSFS 2020 are functioning correctly. This can help isolate the problem to the A310-300 specifically.

After confirming these basics, let's focus on the cockpit activation process:

  • Revisit the tablet settings. Although you've set them before, a fresh install might reset certain configurations.
  • Experiment with different settings on the tablet. Sometimes, toggling unrelated settings can inadvertently affect cockpit functionalities.
  • Check if there are any known bugs or issues with the A310-300 on forums or the aircraft developer's site. They might have released a patch or workaround for this issue.

Additionally, since you mentioned the problem occurred post-reinstallation, it might be a good idea to:

  • Clear any cache that MSFS 2020 stores. Sometimes old data can conflict with new installations.
  • Ensure that there's no conflict with other add-ons or mods you might be using. Try running the simulator with just the A310-300 installed.

If these steps don't resolve the issue, it might be beneficial to seek more specific help. Providing screenshots or a more detailed description of the steps you're taking can help others diagnose the problem more effectively.
