The FMC is porked?

I'm asking since i am used to the level of simulating Boeing'S FMS in the PMDG-747 and Level-D-767. Both are pretty comprehensive, I think, and interact nicely with the AFDS and AT.

On approach back into Gatwick it was showing an arrival fuel of 29.0 tonnes.The bus only hold 19 tonnes when it is full!It was however showing a fuel on board of 9.3tonnes at the same time!Some of its eta's were also adrift.When it entered a hold it performed the oddest hold entry I have ever seen and it would have been a fail if you had done it for real.It would not fly a managed aproach speed which is fundamental to the fbw operation,but selected was ok.
The other annoying feature is that you cannot enter a runway to get a bearing/distance on the prog page,only navaids are allowed.

Ah yes, I see, these indeed are flaws that are not en par with rivalling products. With the two planes I mentioned for example I have not had any troubles like that.

You can spend another 30 euro and get a patch made by the game programmer to sort out a few of the glitches.They went to a lot of effort to make the overhead panel operational and have the systems pages working on the ecam,but they modelled no systems failures,so this sim is quite disappointing.I emailed the game programmer and he cannot see any further development work on it which is such a shame.

Sorry to hear that. Let's wait for that other A320 in developement.
