Long Haul Cargo Dispatch TJSJ-KIAD - Gatwicksteve - 06-19-2011
So it's my first time flying a Heavy for Tradewind, the A330, on leg 1 of the June cargo dispatch.
Departing San Juan

Turning towards KIAD

When this happened!
Notice the blank MFDs, toppled secondary instruments. Double engine flameout and no idea why it happened, but think it's a sim bug. I couldn't restart the engines and had to glide to runway10 at KIAD which was luckily in range, but no flaps no gear meant a very expensive landing
and lots of work for the NTSB and engineers! Hope to have a replacement aircraft available for leg 2!![[Image: 2011-6-1918-20-54-668-L.jpg]](http://vespasia.smugmug.com/Hobbies/Flightsim/Tradewind-screenshots/i-6c7Dm3N/0/L/2011-6-1918-20-54-668-L.jpg)

Hi Steve.
Good you fly the Cargo Dispatch - bad you damaged the new A330.
Maybe you should try one of the more robust aircrafts next time.
Seriously: I think those bugs - wherever they might be - are very annoying. I hope you will have more luck on the remaining legs as this Cargo Dispatch has some very nice sceneries to offer - for FS9

Nice screenshots Steve!
Too bad about your problem, what's the manufacturer of your A330 ?

Stefaan, according to the registration it could well be that he uses the A330 repaint/model out of the TL hangar by Tom Ruth.
@Steve. Sorry but I somehow forgot to comment to the pictures themselves, which are again very well done. Keep up the good work.
Regarding the panel problem. I think this install.txt is missing:
1) unzip toma32f.zip folder to a suitable folder, your desktop for example.
2) copy the sound and sound.ai folders from your default FSX Airbus_A321 into the new Tom_A330-200F folder.
3) copy the following files from your default FSX Airbus_A321/panel folder into the new Tom_A330-200F/panel.330 folder:
airbus_a321_panel_background.bmp
airbus_a321_panel_background_night.bmp
Airbus_A321.cab
do not copy other files from this folder!
4) copy the following files from your default FSX Airbus_A321/texture folder into the new Tom_A330-200F/texture.AB folder:
Airbus_A321_1_C.dds
Airbus_A321_2_C.dds
Airbus_A321_3_C.dds
Airbus_A321_4_C.dds
do not copy other files from this folder!
5) move the entire Tom_A330-200F folder into your FSX aircraft folder.
6) Unzip all files from the lighteffects folder into your FSX/effects folder

Thanks for all your comments guys! Christian, you're right it's the Tom Ruth A330 from the TL Hangars. I've checked all the files and they're good - in fact the panel worked fine until top of descent when I started reducing speed on the autopilot panel. I received a continuous master caution followed by the engines not responding and eventually the electrics shut down. Ther was no obvious reason I could find for the problem so I don't know if it's a system bug or not. I'll be flying leg 2 over the next couple of days using the same aircraft so I'll see if the Airbus behaves itself on that and let you know!
Cheers
Steve
