A320 neo engines.

[Karba]

Hi all !

Left engine starts normal but after a while shuts down completely. Working just fine before update. All the procedures are done correctly. Any advise ?

Thxn for advanc!

Same issue as OP. Even happens when running the automatic checklist.

I have the same problem, in addition the flap indicators are strange, and on a cruise flight, I can't switch between mech and knots.

[Maki Nishikino]

Many on VATSIM have brought this up.

The engine shutdown issue is listen on the MSFS forum as a Known Issue now. Here are some of the issues I've confirmed on the stock A320.

I've run into the Battery buttons not working. It is intermittent on some ramps/gates.

Workaround: Try a different gate/ramp at the airport.
Cause: Some of the ramps have disgruntled ground crew sabotaging planes! Confuse them by teleporting away

Blank MFDs

Workaround: turn up the brightness knob for the display.
Cause: A ghost is with you and randomly changes it to keep you on your toes.

Mach/Speed button doesn't work

Workaround: Deal with it!
Cause: Real air persons set their speed in knots and like it!

Engine Shutdown

Workaround 1:
Leave the APU on

Workaround 2: Some people say that turning on the x-feed and turning off the left pump on start up fixes that.

Cause: Covid-19

AP won't autoland consistently

Workaround: Fly the plane!
Cause: Asobo programmers hate QA work.

Thank you. I give these a try.

Just like malch pointed out... it seems that leaving APU on keeps left engine alive.

[TargetLost]

Hmmm... since I haven't started the FS this morning I still will not have that patch.

I wonder ..is there a way to save over the A320 as it is before that patch like backup the cfg files and put them somewhere after the patch maybe?

Does someone know...is the by the community improved A320 neo version:

The same problems after the patch with and without the mod

[Phil]

my exp. wen i start the engine and then i selectt a/thr (push button) the left engine shuts down

[Dumberoni TV]

The fix leaving the APU and APU Bleed on worked for me regarding the engine-shutdown.

[banzai]

same here in a320n work ok first,but after a while engine 1 (left) schut down start up was done by the book so now what wait for a patch for the patch RIDICULOUS.

[banzai]

so here we go the problem is the apu. if start cold & darck, start up by the book, as soon as you shutdown the apu it trigger the bug and engine 1 ishutdown whit starter knob still on. i try to shutdown the apu and leave bleed air on, no way same result.
if you start at the runway whit runing engines NO shutdown here this is veeeeeery whierd.you can also leave the apu & bleed on but that is not realistic and will cost extra fuel

I see it that way: Sometimes as a pilot you have to help yourself with workarounds. So it is not that dramatic unrealistic.

I believe I even read an air crash investigation where Pilots intentional let the APU on from the start and during the whole flight because of a mallfunction in the plane. Don't know the defect anymore but I believe to remember that that APU caused a much worse problem during flight later..started burning or soemthing because of another defect.. and crashed the plane.

Back to the subject.. for me it more sound like the engine 1 has a bleeding or fuel pump problem the way that it can't run without additional help (APU bleeding, fuel cross feed)
