Synaptic Simulations Updates A220 for MSFS 2020/2024
Quick summary· AI-generated
The update introduces a full moving map with Navigraph integration, runways-only airport maps with native navdata, pilot waypoint quick-entry from the FMS ROUTE page, an interactive rudder trim knob, and a pedal disconnect button for tail wheel lock. Flight model refinements address pitch and roll oscillations in cruise and during approaches, jitter at 2x/4x sim rates, autopilot capture issues, and ground-handling suspension adjustments. Systems fixes span VNAV headwind/tailwind flipping, frequency swapping, autopilot airspeed hold mode switching, and TCAS display accuracy. Gear compression and aerodynamic drag/lift curves were also adjusted to improve resting height and overspeeding behavior.
Excerpt from Threshold
Synaptic Simulations has recently issued an update to their A220 for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024, bringing a full moving map with Navigraph navdata, an interactive rudder trim knob, multiple bug fixes, and much more.
Update v1.0.10 adds a full moving map with Navigraph navdata, runways-only airport moving map with native navdata, ALONG TRK WPT function on waypoint menu, pilot waypoint quick-entry from FMS ROUTE page as PB/D/N or PB/PB/N, a pedal disconnect button binding for TOGGLE TAIL WHEEL LOCK input, an interactive rudder trim knob, multiple flight model tweaks spanning from pitch and jitter oscillations to tire grip at high speeds, and much more. The complete changelog follows below:
Systems
Added
Full airport moving map with Navigraph nav data
Runways-only airport moving map with native nav data
ALONG TRK WPT function on waypoint menu
Pilot waypoint quick-entry from FMS ROUTE page as PB/D/N or PB/PB/N
Pedal disconnect button binding for TOGGLE TAIL WHEEL LOCK input
Interactive rudder trim knob
Fixed
VNAV predictions sometimes flipping headwinds and tailwinds
Swapping frequencies not working from the CNS format
AUTOPILOT AIRSPEED HOLD VAR not updating after switching from Mach to IAS
Deleting FLT ID on XPDR/TCAS CONTROL dialog not resetting value to 00000000
OIL TEMP and OIL PRESS on EICAS rapidly changing between rounded values
Failed FMS displaying FMS1/2 FAIL instead of FMS NOT AVAILABLE
Switching to a SEC flight plan while on PERF DEP or PERF ARR staying on disabled tab
TCAS OFF appearing in amber instead of white on the ground
Inaccurate extension and retraction durations for flaps and slats
Runway symbol on the ND not showing as magenta when it is the current leg
Flight Model
Fixed
Oscillations & Stability:
Slight roll and pitch oscillations in cruise
Slight pitch oscillations during BARO RNP approaches
Jitter and oscillations at 2x and 4x simulation rates
Flight Controls & Autopilot:
Ground-to-air transition commanding inconsistent pitch rate
Air-to-ground transition suddenly commanding nose-up upon main gear touchdown
Slow capture of new FMS track (aircraft flying at a slight bank for long periods)
Excessive FD/FPV mismatch when autopilot is engaged
Ground Handling & Aerodynamics:
Adjusted gear compression to improve resting height and tilt
Adjusted suspension to improve travel range for smoother touchdowns
Adjusted Mach envelope drag and lift curves to reduce excessive overspeeding
