A.floor and Crazy autopilot After takeoff
Hello,
I bought the A320/21 prolouge. During the fmgs programming I noticed a yellow message in the scratch pad coming up a few times wich says:unable flight level. I tried fl150 and it didn’t work. After the liftoff a.floor engages and the plane pulls up hardly. Then it goes into a fall and then it climbs again and it goes like this all the time. I noticed that in the ecam the landing mode was already active, but I had my flaps and gear up and the fmgs was still in climb.
Thank you !

It would be really useful to know what your flight plan was.
The unable flight level message appears when the MCDU calculates the Top of Climb would be after Top of Descent, therefore you wouldn't actually make it to your cruise altitude.
I just wanted to make a quick test flight
There are a lot of variables here too, such as aircraft weight and weather. Did you change the weight of the aircraft at all?
That is the problem
The aircraft can calculate the V Speeds, right click on the buttons next to each V Speed section and it will fill in the correct speed automatically.
That said, in your screenshots provided, I noticed you don't have Autopilot or Auto Throttle engaged - you should be using both systems to maximise your efficiency in terms of fuel, speed and climb, as well as reducing your workload as a pilot.
I have just completed a test flight using your flight plan above, between LGSM and LGAV with no issues.
Thank you for your support, I will write you back if I try the reinstall.
