Jack, Karl, anyone?
I am sorely disappointed with the new Airbus equipment (the A330, primarily; haven't tried the A340 yet, although I'm betting it's just as bad).
Fresh out of the box, first attempt at takeoff from Tokyo (TC1020), aircraft rotated, and rotated, and rotated... Full forward force on the stick, but the nose just kept going up until she stalled out. Even trying the autopilot couldn't keep this bronco from bucking.
Second try, I replaced the original FDE with the updates from POSKY. I can get the thing rotate and fly, but speed control is near impossible. When the AT is on, the engines surge and idle, surge and idle. There is no constant speed. Even at level flight, speed ranges from M.64 to M.84 for no reason (not the sort of thing a "Heavy" aircraft would do).
HELP!!!
