Hi
There's been am update this morning. If you still have black screens, you'll have to edit the PFD.ini SD.ini and EWD.ini files (in the EIS folder) to add the line :
Log=yes
Then I'll need to see the log output by each of them.

not unless you still have that bug. You should disbale the log feature as well, it's not really needed and keeps writing to the log file...

Im having the same problem.
I have no Hardware or Software dimmers.
All show as connected in the Server window.

ND, EWD, SD, PDF Clock, SBY VOR and Brake Pressure all run on server PC.

The UTC Clock is running fine. SBY VOR shows up as well as Brake Pressure
ND shows up fine. SD not at all. EWD and PFD rarely...

Log files in all show a number of lines with:
"read FMAPs OK"

Only the ND shows lines like:
"ND"
"ND OK"

The MCDU running on a client PC is working fine.

OK it seems the updater missed the auto update for 38.4....

for those still ahving the black screens, try installing that one :
http://www.jeehell.org/A320FMGS_B38.4.exe
then do the auto update...

Thank you JL, issues fixed by downloading 38.4 and reinstalling.

I like the new GPS PRIMARY LOST, and OUTR TK FUEL XFRD messages (should this message go away once the transfer is comlete?)

Good morning Jean-Luc,
have installed 38.4 and now the connections seems to be stable. Thank you!!!
Only two issues:
- I have installed hardware dimmers yesterday and they are recognized perfectly via FMGSConfig software. But using it in the cockpit has no effect on the displays.
- Switching between the different pages on ECAM, the respective page will appear on the EWD, not on the SD, and only as long as the button is pressed. Switching from "Norm" to "CPT" or "F/O and reswitch back to "Norm" will show the right page on the SD. Next function/page on ECAM -> same problem.

Regards, Bon

Bon,

do you have hardware for the switching? if so it may send false initial states of those switches.
For the dimmers, try the latest update I jsut put onlne.

Yes, I have hardware for complete ECAM switching. I've checked their assignments in iitcreator, they are correct.
I'll update in the evening. Besides these little problems left, the software is working very well now.
++ THANK YOU ++ THANK YOU++ THANK YOU++ THANK YOU++ THANK YOU ++ :)
