A330-900 (updated Dec. 9) Questions

Post by PeterZ KCLE EDDN » Sun Dec 10, 2023 11:00 pm

Hi there,

I finally purchased the A330-900 yesterday, and I have a few questions:

1) I can change from metric to imperial in the EFB but the lower ECAM still indicates KG. Is there another setting that needs to be changed for pounds to display?

2) Is there any integration for the Thrustmaster TCA Airbus throttles? The detents don’t currently work for my throttles, or did I miss a calibration option somewhere?

3) Is there a manual available for this bird? I don’t mean a Youtube video, but a real manual? I’m very familiar with Airbuses’ systems, but a manual specific to the LatinVFR rendition would be appreciated.

Thanks for your help in advance,
Pete

For the aircraft it will only be in KGS in the meantime, in the near future we will allow for LBS

for number 2 : http://www.latinvfr.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=2107

number 3, once we completed avionics and most of the system things we want, we will do a manual on the 330neo.

Cockpit lighting

I love the cockpit lighting at night. However I can't seem to find the integ light knob for the overhead panel. It's so bright.

Am I missing something, or can't the overhead panel be dimmed the same way as the rest of the integ lights (main panel + pedestal) ?

Yes we are looking into that for an update.
