A320 FMGS B40

[filippoporcari]

ben i don't know fds hardware but yes one thing is the backlighting system of the panels (backlighting is available when aircraft is energized and dimmable thru INTEG LT knob on the pedestal) and one separate thing are the green leds of the buttons of the ecam control panel lighting up when button is pressed and corresponding ecam page showed on SD.
pls note that EMERG CANC button is ALWAYS lit in red as the aircraft is energized.

Thanks for clearing that up Fil -- I have an older model FDS ECAM, LEDs are yellow ("warm white"), and not green

In the latest FMGS update the LED do not light up even when the page is selected.
The CLR button seems to be the only LED correctly functioning (activated by triggering TO Config when the aircraft is not fully configured for take off).

Also, one important thing: the LEDs should only light up when the ECAM pages are manually selected. When the ECAM automatically chooses which page to show, the relevant LED stays off.

I'm correcting my previous post... ECAM LEDs works always, but input don't. Only ENG works as ALL. (Cockpitsonic H/W)

Hello JL

On another note, My GSX does not recognise that Parking Brake is set and therefore unable to use GSX completely . It keeps requiring to SET Parking Brake.

Thanks

Hi JL,
+1
Also affecting AES, which now starts Pushback in spite of Parking Brake (=Brakes) set and does not disconnect the pushback truck when pushback is completed even when the Parking Brake of A320 FMGS is applied.
Since B40 applying Parking Brake shows "Brakes" instead of "Parking Brake set", even Ctrl + . does the same as soon as A320FMGS is running.
Can you do anything to show these tools "Parking Brake set" as before? THX!

Yes, it works now -- I have a similar problem. JL is away on holiday right now, I am sure it will be fixed when he returns.

Hallo All,

Same here which is a shame because this week I have a real world A320 pilot (easyJet) checking out my Skalarki cockpit.

Best regards,
