A32NX issues with in game flight planner

[Vee]

Hi

Im using this modded aircraft since the very first release. And it is a constant fight between me, the sim and this plane. Every update to the game were spoiling everything in the aircraft, it was constantly fixing and makin it back to life etc.
But somehow I manage to do hundreds of flights with this A32NX but now, in current version of the plane and up to date sim, I canno fly with this thing.

Im only using world map flight planner, I dont want to use any simbrief or other. Im casual pilot and untill now the world map planner worked fine, I could start and land with no problem with A32NX but now, its impossible. The plane randomly choose to load or not load into the plane computer my flight plan, sometime its there, sometimes totally not there, when its there, it can have some of the flight plan parts missing, between 2 waypoints its empty space, planes lossing its way in the air then, sometime it follows the route sometimes the route dissapearing right after take off... but on the map I choose from menu above the screen the whole flight plan is there all the time, but A32NX not see it.

Can some1 explain what the heck is happening here?? I lost all the fun of flying right now and I cannot buy PMDG yet becoz I cant afford it by now. What a shame... 2 years with the sim and I got to the point where I have no plane to fly... Maybe some1 can help me fix this?

The FBW A32NX is decoupled from the map planner as it uses its own modded systems. Because of this, the maps may contain different information, which may be causing your issue. Fortunately, there is a feature that can be enabled in the FMS where it will sync the map plan with what is on the FMS. Although I'm not sure that it works backwards (sync FMS with map), give it a try and see if it fixes the issue.

Also make sure there are no discontinuities or manual legs you want to automatically fly in the flight planner. Your plane's autopilot will stop working on these sections.

Generally, you should try and learn cold + dark start and manual FMS setup when flying planes with modded systems in order to avoid issues. However, if you 100% are opposed to doing that, try what I suggested above.

I only fly the A32NX and have about 1500 hrs on this aircraft on the experimental and it now works great on VNAF as well. only on experimental. A few tips.
Only select your departure airport on the sim work map
Dont bother trying to take of from the runway select a gate and do cold and dark start procedure, it does not like taking of from the runway.
Regards flight planning I only use simbrief and have not tried to carry out a manual input to the MCDU
Even with simbrief you will get discos in the flight plan. Take your time and delete the ones you can but you should not try and delete a disco after a manual. I only fly on the sim ATC so when you reach the manual use DIR to go direct to the next way point. (most in the USA as ATC are keen to vector you down but sim ATC not good for that)
Get on Discord and search for FBW there's so much more info there its amazing

State which Version you use and if STABLE; DEV or EXP? I use latest 0.8.1 STABLE
I always use World Map and it never misses loading any Waypoints but can leave you without an ILS Frequency until you get Clearance For Takeoff or on Approach. I always look it up in case it does not get loaded at all.
I set it to LOAD from the World Map. I think they added VNAV now (just set lowest ALT for Final from T.O.D.) but I do prefer listening to ATC for the ALT to Capture GS as more specific to my Aircraft.

The world map planner is terrible. Use your onboard FMS or GPS.

Can YOU or any other friend here gimme an easiest way to learn the flight planning?? I tried to do it with Youtube but somehow enetering the airways into the planner is not easy at all. Dude on the video typing something there and it works but for me not. Do I really need a simbrief?? I mean,,, how can I figure WHAT I need and where to type it in in MCDU?

I used to have no problems like You untill recent days. A32NX always worked for me with world map planner. Now Its impossible. All the time there is something wrong with the flight plan. Sometimes the plane spawn at the gate with all the flight plan visible on the in-games map, but totally no flight plan in Airbuses computer. Sometimes there is the plan but it always has discontinue part I cant get rid of.. I just cant. dont know how to.

Can You explain step by step what now should I do to get working world map flight plan with this A32nx?

Maybe for some advanced players it is. Im so casual that I found it very nice and easy to use. For me it was totally enought to create a Flight plan and have fun from take off to landing. Never had any problems, I played over 300h hours and now I canrt fly this thing anymore...

Then it is time to learn the FMS or GPS. Once you do you will never go back. If you know the airport codes you are flying from and to then you can use AirNav to download the plates and RNAVs and other information from. Use this information to plan your flight. I won't get into wind correction and all that b/c it is far beyond the scope of what you want to do. But AirNav will give you a lot of good information and the sim is pretty spot on with it. However, I have found some runways in FS 2020 that simply do not exist IRL. Some airports show 18 36 but AirNav shows 19 01. I have found quite a few incorrect airports in FS 2020. My guess is the big international ones are mostly correct. I have not found any incorrect RNAVs within FS 2020 as of yet. I'm sure they are out there. And the few ILS approaches I've done were accurate with respect to the real life approach plate.

The world map is a great accessibility feature, but these addon planes have bare minimum world map compatibility, and break a lot if you rely on it. Besides, a huge chunk of the FBW A320's appeal is in the FMS. It also has features not available in the world map. For example, you can set your takeoff and landing performance, fly realistic airways, and also set an ILS approach + landing (mandatory if landing in bad weather).

Check the FBW manual if you want to learn. It's very easy to follow, and once learnt it will become second-nature: https://docs.flybywiresim.com/pilots-corner/beginner-guide/preparing-mcdu/

I just tried the A32NX after it updated to STABLE 0.8.1 and now the World Map does not LOAD at all like it did and even has it set to SYNC in EFB Settings. I think I will revert if I can or get the DEV instead. W.T. is supposed to have a working Version. Does he know it's broken I wonder.

[★Macman★]

I just fixed it by CYCLING the SYNC setting and starting a new flight. It loaded my FLIGHT PLAN once again

What about discontinue on flight plans? Becoz I get those everytime.

Hit CLR then tap the disco to delete it.
Edit: Also try sequence x2

Well it's broken again. I got lucky and is not loading the FP again.
BTW SEQUENCE x2 is only for the CJ4 which is better than the Boeing method which also clears DISCONTINUITY on it.
I'm reverting as it also is not compatible properly with FSRealistic by the Reverse Thrusters sound even with Engines not Started.
To be honest, I hate this A32NX after getting the PMDG 737 & BAE 146 as it has utterly stupid TAXI turning now. I hate it lots.

Yeah IDK why it taxis like it went through an oil slick. Least favorite part of that plane
