Synaptic Simulations Updates A220 for MSFS 2020/2024
Quick summary· AI-generated
The A220 v1.0.3 update addresses stability issues (WASM crashes during discontinuity clearance, APU startup, navdata use), refines flight management and navigation systems (flight phase reset, RNAV approaches, nav-to-nav transfers), improves cockpit avionics displays (PFD/ND/FMS performance), and adjusts autobrake behavior on de-rotation. The update also bundles the latest Navigraph database (cycle 2503) and adds the ability to select navigation databases directly from the FMS. Bug fixes span checklist logic, display rendering, and visual modeling (window mismatches, missing placards).

Fixed occasional WASM crash when using native navdata.
Flight Management & Navigation:
Fixed flight phase not resetting correctly following a turnaround.
Fixed RNAV approaches prompting automatic nav-to-nav transfer with native navdata.
Fixed direct-to FAF preventing nav-to-nav transfer from arming.
Fixed false NO VPATH FMS messages appearing outside of descent.
Fixed coordinates on FMS DBASE SEARCH page formatting incorrectly when copied.
Fixed missing magnetic variation on FMS ARRIVAL DATA dialog and ROUTE pages.
