Synaptic Simulations Updates A220 for MSFS 2020/2024

Threshold

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

Increased…
