Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. No. Just a little accuracy check based on actual aircraft behavior

Describe the feature you'd like to see implemented Engage the Flight Directors automatically after power-up

with delay of around 12 seconds according to the youtube video

iirc FDs are also automatically activated on take off trust engagement aka FLX or TOGA.

aguther commented 3 years ago

I'm up to now only aware of the automatic engagement on go around, not during take-off. The engagement for go-around has been implemented on experimental version already.

The engagement after power-up is correct and should be there but is not implemented yet.

aguther commented 3 years ago

With the latest dev version the flight directors are now engaged when the FCU is powered on.

No simulation of the start procedure of the FCU yet.

aguther commented 3 years ago

It turned also out that engagement of flight directors is bound to FMGC power-up and not FCU.
