I know this is old but I just bought the A320 and got the same CTD issues but after banging my head on the table a few times I saw this topic so installed both patches and they work fine and the FSX flight plans work no problem.      (If you get a Windows message saying it may not have installed correctly follow the prompt to install using recommended settings).

I am now enjoying the plane which is a great alternative to the AirbusX when I just was a quick flight.

I got fed up with the Flite A320 because of these problems. May reload again.

I don't use the MCDU much, except for it to tell me what speed to pull my stick back, what speed to land, and to verify which autopilot functions are active. I appreciate other poeple may like to get more out of it and are frustrated that they're not getting what they paid for.  However that doesn't necesarily mean the plane is unflyable.

Actually I have to retract my statement...I have been able to load an FSX f/p for the A319...it's just a matter seeing which works like loading the FSX plan first then loading the MCDU plan. You might find that it has kicked out the IFR plan in FS again but I then reload it in FSX & it seems to work. In any case for the $$ I believe it is a good piece of software, especially the sound & handling of the a/c...very nice

I just purchased FLite 319 & like everyone else the MCDU is incompatible with FSX flight plans. The rest of the program is money worth spent but I don't understand why bother with a MCDU that won't hook up with FSX. Is there going to be a remedy for that?
   I see one person says he can do it but does not give any explanation so lets have it

Seems to work OK for mewith A320. I can at least load and run the tutorial now without CTD. Have not tried to run any of my other plans yet but they do appear in the MCDU list so should load OK. Will report again when had time to try more.

I am very disappointed that after months after the release, this product is still unuseable. It really hurts your reputation and discredits the otherwise excellent F-Lite series.
I can only support darem.  o.k. - as I posted under 'Disappointed' I don' t encounter crashes anymore. But darem is 100% right when he says 'It really hurts your reputation and discredits the otherwise excellent F-Lite series.'
I really don' t understand why JF quit the excellent concept of the F-Lite series and sold us an aircraft which is a significant step back.
I am mainly talking about the MCDU here. My impression is that somebody programmed the MCDU for JF who is not quite familiar with FSX.
After the installation of the SP the MCDU doesn' t accept default FSX flight plans. The user is limited to the instant bunch of flight plans which comes with the 'NavDataCollector'.
JF's Airbus series could have become a very successful package. But unfortunately the is product is far away from the quality level which fans of the F-Lite series were accustomed to.
Don' t get me wrong - I love how the plane behaves in 'manual' mode, parts of the sound are fantastic and I am old fashioned enough to prefer 2D panels.
 
(I am talking about the A320 only as I don' t own the A318/319/321)

Hi Darem,

At this time it seems you are the only customer who is still encountering the MDCU crashes when you have applied the service packs correctly.

Please send us an email to support@justflight.com so we can ensure that you have done so.

Thanks,

Sam

Yeah, it fixed the crashing, but now the only flightplan in the MCDU is the A320 Tutorial Flightplan....it doesn´t load any FSX flightplans or lets you create one by yourself. The only navigation option is Dir/To which is very unhandy.

This airplane is full of bugs, it´s not funny anymore.

When you save a flight, most of the cockpit options are forgotten, when loading the saved flight. The MCDU is off and hasn´t any navigation data loaded, the AP settings are incorrect etc.

There is still a lot of work that has to be done to make this plane flyable.

Hi All,

We have now created service packs for the A318/19/20 Jetliner Series, which solve the MCDU crashing issue that you may have been encountering when trying to load flight plans.

You can now download the update (v.2) for the A320 from our support page here:

http://www.justflight.com/faqs.asp?drdProduct=243#Update447 

And for A318/19 customers experiencing the crash, you can now download Service Pack 1 for both aircraft here:
