A320 FMGS B40

Hi guys again.
After consulting with JL, we came to the point that issues are related to missing dual state of buttons which should be defined for each button.
I will add both events UP and DOWN to each ECAM buttons. Today I will do changes and will test tomorrow morning. Then once all is working back I will publish new Profiler version.

Stay tuned, some news around mid day tomorrow.

Hi all -- is reprogramming the FROM/TO page on the init section of the MCDU a big 'no no' when in the air?

When this is done it the whole system resets with FMGS -- is this what happens in the real world systems, or is there a fail safe option?

What is the best way to program in an alternative destination while in the air (e.g. if there is an emergency, and your list of destination is not in the alternative airport page, and you need to do an immediate landing).

The "profiler" is only for skalarki hardware.
I did test a cockpitsonic panel with latest version and it worked flawlessly.

Weird... I've reinstalled B.40.1 without success! What else could I try?

[filippoporcari]

ben the alternate is always present in the flight plan and inserted when programming the route (altn field in init a page).
should u divert to a different alternate while enroute (emergency) best way is making a LAT REVISION of the next waypoint and inserting the alternate icao in the NEW DEST field from there.

Ok guys, looks like we have ECAM issue fixed. In 15-30 minutes I will publish new version of SkalarkiIO Profiler which will be available through autoupdater version or by direct download from this link. Latest build will be "4.3.3105.1000". Actually there will be only change in JLFMGS. Release notes can be found here.
What was changed?
I have added/changed events for each ECAM button. Now each button needs two actions DOWN and UP defined. Users with P&P ECAM as well as users with older version of hardware (non P&P) needs to use Edit Profile feature and appy changes to all ECAM buttons.


For P&P hardware ONLY! - It is possible as well to replace piece of .xml file. Please find all ECAM related switches inside .xml file and replace with this:

Please report behaviour after upgrade.

Hallo Marcin,

Just installed the new Profiler and fixed-up the .xml file. On the ground all seems to be working fine. I'll make a flight later on.

Thanks for the expedient support.

Best regards,

--pim

[filippoporcari]

thx for your support both JL and MARCIN.
sorry for my bad memory about up & down events...programmed it years ago didn't remember only few buttons had both events in the older version!
thx again

ben the alternate is always present in the flight plan and inserted when programming the route (altn field in init a page).
should u divert to a different alternate while enroute (emergency) best way is making a LAT REVISION of the next waypoint and inserting the alternate icao in the NEW DEST field from there.
cheers

Thank you Fil, using the lateral revision seems to have done the trick

Hello,

in my configuration i use FSUIPC Offsets to Change the ECAM Pages and i have the same issues. I can only set the Engine Page with Offset 78ED, Value 5. The other Values doesn´t work anymore...

Any Ideas??
