Bad update!

[Danielvdl88]

Is it just me or is the a318 downgraded? It was my go to aircraft but I almost don't want to use it anymore!

Here are the problems I have with the new update.

The front wheel of the a318 is pointed downwards because the front wheel appears to be lower. Manual braking also no longer causes the aircraft to bounce.

Every time I lower the landing gear I hear the ding of the seatbelt sign and a random click. What's even stranger is that I also hear this from an external view.

In any case, the sound sounds really bad in external view. When you look from the back of the device it sounds like you are sitting in the cabin. The high tone of the engine already starts at 70% engine power. Even though I want to fly fast to save time, I still have that noise during the entire flight until I start descending and the speed decreases.

I find this really sad because I really love the a318 and use it a lot for my fictional airline.
So even if these problems persist, a large part of my sim hobby is finished

Hi, we are going to check the gear issue but we heard from someone who had it but resolved it. Anyways about the sound, if the fixes we are going to do people don't like them, then we will have to revert.

Allright, don't get me wrong. I love it that you are always trying to upgrade your aircraft. But this time I was disappointed. Do you know how to other people fixed the landing gear. And would love the old sounds

I love the A318 as well, but I haven't flown it in awhile. I will check on these issues to gain a better understanding of what's going on.

I have made some improvements to the aircraft wheel and contact points, suspension, and weight and balance. I sent it to Ricardo for testing, adjustments, and approval. It will be up to him to include it in a future update.

I did several flights from PADQ Kodiak to PAHO homer and back.

I could not verify the seatbelt ding or random click noise that you described. Please check your control settings to make sure something isn't conflicting.

I didn't notice an issue with the sound on my end as you described, but improvements to aircraft sounds are already on the todo list.
