A320 FMGS B31

[asessa]

Hi,

@Asessa: software development sometimes is weird. In that very case, I do not know why it will not work anymore. I did not change the way the backlighting works. What different hardware do you have from CockpitSonic? Which panels have backlighting working and which don't?

JL

Hi JL, I'm a software developer so i know sometimes is weird! :D

In anycase , i've 3 modules from Cockpit Sonic :

1. FCU, backlight don't work from B31 (in B30 it's ok)
2. RMP , backlight don't work from B31 (in B30 it's ok)
3. ECAM , the backlight work but it is always turned on because it turn on when i turn on the psu

Regards.

Very strange behavior with the fly by wire system today. Route from ksfo to klax.

Attempting to reach a cruise altitude of FL370

Aircraft only manages to climb to fl 320 before loosing altitude (looks like a pitch down) and trying again. This was in managed mode. Attempted selected mode with the same effect. Tried adjusting vertical feet change but the problem still persists, aircraft can't climb beyond 32,000.

Dont know if it makes a difference but packs were on and so were engine and wing anti ice.

Next I checked the ecam and the engine page - left engine psi was orange in color (and I think flashing).

I checked the system alert page and everything is NORMAL.

Anyone know what's going on?

[Stephan Schwarz]

What is the current recommendation? install B32 and ignore updates?

@omniatlas: Weight checked? And weather engine working properly? I also have PSI orange flashing in High altitudes, further I have never Seen a difference between AI / Packs on or off.

I saw strange behavior with the default fsx weather or Fsrealwx (Freeware).

[filippoporcari]

i suppose full b32 installer from previous page and autoupdater is disabled right now

(...) I also have PSI orange flashing in High altitudes, (...).
B32 includes a new, improved model. There is no longer an orange PSI indication.

I am running 32.1. I will try and make a video if it happens again.

[Stephan Schwarz]

Another weird thing Last flight: when disc A/P the MasterWarn turned on and I was Not able to turn it off by pressing the MWarn Button nor klicking in the software FCU. Had to closedown the Sound.exe before Running Mad :)

Furthermore I have an Audio Warning above FL180 which calls "altimeter setting". Any idea what may be the issue?

It seems to me that it is included in the B32...
Maybe you have not installed the model again?

Ah that is correct. I have not updated my model since b31. I will try again with the new model.

Perhaps jh can make the installer overwrite our sim objects directory by default? It was unknown to me that there was a new model.

Thank you.

[Stephan Schwarz]

@ToTom: uh, I was not aware that a model change must be done. Thank you for this file!

@OminAtlas: I guess you are right with RAAS :) I almost forgot that I recently installed it. Anyway, I do reset my altimeter at FL180, but RAAS does not seem to recognize it. Will check it out this evening!

[filippoporcari]

the model update is included in the full installer.
JL reported about the model update in the bug tracker.
cheers

[OmniAtlas]

Tried out the new model, no problems going to FL370 this time; big time problems calculating vertical altitudes at way points coming down (they were left blank for some reason?), but we know that hasn't been modeled correctly yet.

Seems like the new model makes more accurate turns but I will have to do more testing -- we can try a 90 degree turn to ILS approach next time :)

[OmniAtlas]

@OminAtlas: I guess you are right with RAAS :) I almost forgot that I recently installed it. Anyway, I do reset my altimeter at FL180, but RAAS does not seem to recognize it. Will check it out this evening!

Are you using the commercial RAAS by FS2Crew or the freeware version?

[ToTom]

Anyway, I do reset my altimeter at FL180, but RAAS does not seem to recognize it. Will check it out this evening!
You need to connect offsets in FMGS with standard offsets in FS or transfer the information directly to the RAAS.

There is no more changes in the model. Just indicate the PSI...

[Stephan Schwarz]

Found a better solution ;) Just deactivated this message in the options tab. I use the commercial version of RAAS.

[Stephan Schwarz]

Here are some additional lines for the aircraft.cfg which enable the Jetway. Maybe someone need this:

[exits]
number_of_exits = 3
exit.0 = 0.4, 40.50, -6.0, 6.0, 0 //openclose rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)
exit.1 = 0.4, -23.50, 5.85, 0.0, 1 //openclose rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)
exit.2 = 0.4, 29.90, 6.0, 1.0, 2 //openclose rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)

Hello JH


I have a question.


Can I use only your A 320, or I can from a different software such as Aribuns Extendet A 320 use without interference.

You can only use the A320 included in my package.

[Stephan Schwarz]

Jean Luc,

I have just seen that you have added RMP controls in the FMGS. I think about building an RMP on my own. Is there an offset list available? Also for the LEDs?

Thanks,
Stephan

[jeehell]

Hi Stephan,

There is no FSUIPC offsets for the radio, and I don't think I will add any.
What hardware do you intend to use to build your RMPs? There is support for SIOC...

JL

[Stephan Schwarz]

I will continue with Arcaze. It is no problem for me to use the FMGS_Config for the RMP. Another question: Does it interact with the MCDU and does it change the frequencies in FSX accordingly?

[OmniAtlas]

hi there -- does anyone know if the OM, MM, IM is simulated in FMGS? Thanks.

[jeehell]

Hi,

@Stephan: The RMP for now only allow to change COM Frequencies, which will change in FS.

@Ben: yes

JL

[OmniAtlas]

hi JL - don't recollect seeing the alerts on the PFD...I will check again on an ILS approach. Do I have to manually enter the localizer into the nav section of the mcdu?

Cheers.

[RigoA320]

Hello JH


wanted ihnnen tell that my system is working again, the system is again stable, have changed the display ND PFD SW changed the resolution in JH, she had put on high-resolution, and did a stage set lower, since no failures or freeze the display .

[tcane]

Hi Jean Luc,
I do not know if the following problem is from me or your software.
I have entered the flight schedule and preferences in the MCDU and all seems to be fine and ready for takeoff. After i pushing the Heading Knob on the FCU the Flightplan becomes a solid green line and the FCU is in the managed mode.
But after Takeoff, shortly after I left the ground, the FCU goes back to the select mode and the green line is dashed again.
I push the heading knob again to go back to the managed mode but nothing happens.
Here are two Videos with the Problem:
First Video is a Overview of the MCDU settings and the Takeoff. (Sorry for the parking brake fail :p)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNRTFqSrV84&list=UUuKjgKR0yl3P4QGTeOHtI1Q&feature=share
In the second video you can see how I try to come again in the managed mode.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfYYY5MKFho&feature=share&list=UUuKjgKR0yl3P4QGTeOHtI1Q

Do I make something wrong or is it because of Jeehell?
Looking forward to your help and ideas.

King Regards Florian

p.s. Can we use now the autoupdate? :)

[Miatanet]

Hi all
when I start FMGS without the FSX I see the master caution button on the FCU, this button disapears when I start FSX... do I have to activate it somewhere, or does my FSX mess up :-)

Regards
Stefan

[jeehell]

Hi

The B32.2 is available: http://www.jeehell.org/A320FMGS_B32.2.exe
The autoupdate should work correctly again.

@Tcane/FLorian: you most probably did not fill correctly the INITB page (and eventually you missed Cost index and/or CRZ Level on INITA). This can easily be seen in FPLN Page:you have dashes instead of predicted altitudes and speeds.

Regards,
JL

This is probably what would happen if you suddenly powered the real A320 in mid air without any systems running...
This is not a bug, FSX should be started before my software, except after a new installation or if new scenery/navdata has been installed.

JL

[tcane]

Sorry Jl,
in this video i make a warm reset in fsx and I had forgotten to specify the load. But once I accepted'm already at 3000 feet. Do I have the same problem when I try to get into the managed mode.

[jeehell]

On the takeoff roll on your video, it is also clear on the FMA that you did not engage neither FLX nor TOGA (First column of FMA is empty). This can be because you missed the detent, or the detent is not correctly calibrated in FMGS Config.

Yes, I can atest to what JH is saying. Autopilot modes will not engage properly if your joysticks, input devices are not configured correctly in FMGS Config. Make sure you leave enough dead-zone.

[Stephan Schwarz]

What I just noted: you did not enter the Flight Level on the INIT page. Maybe this can also be an issue?

EDIT: JL has seen the same some posts before, sorry for doubleposting :)

Hi Jeehell, I just tested landing on KLAX 24R (http://www.airport-data.com/airport/LAX/ils/24R.html)

There are beacons during this approach, but I did not see any notifications on the displays.

Also, I can no longer enter my weights in the INIT section of the MCDU -- I can no longer go left or right (NOT ALLOWED) with the arrows.

Ah there was a little glitch with markers since the new database. I solved it in next version/
Regarding KALX, your chart is outdated, now there only is an IM on RWY24R. The markers in my soft are the markers from the navdata not from FS, so they will be up to date.

Wuuut :D
Guys, you all make me happy and jeehell anyway! Thank you thank you thank you! After a reconfiguration of the throttle all works Fine and i am really in the flx detend on the takeoff. ;) and Route of the flight plan is activated!

Hi JL,
I could certainly be imagining this, but wasn't there also a PTT joystick button assignment in a previous version? If not, could it be added without too much trouble...or would you suggest just doing it through standard fsx assignments?

Thank you!
~Alan

[jeehell]

Hi Alan,

no there never was any PTT button, would not be useful as there is no action for that in FS/FSUIPC/Simconnect...

JL

[Stephan Schwarz]

Hey all,

This time the update was a bit strange, as the installer was starting - as if you do a full install? Was that meant to be?

And another one: the ECAMLogic.exe is still not starting here .. I have to start by hand, then it works.

Cheers
Stephan

[Stephan Schwarz]

Now I found a big issue: after entering the route into the MCDU, both ND´s freeze.

Anyone else with the same bug?

Stephan

EDIT: this is weird .. I few minutes ago I was able to reproduce this error ... now it is working again ... sorry for bothering :/

[jeehell]

Stephan: The ND bug is real. I'm tracking it. I hope next version will solve it.
Regarding the update: I added that feature, so when it's best to update everything at once, the updater gets the full install package.

JL

[dcutugno]

Hi, just Clean installed the new B32.2, just to be sure to avoid conflict, new NavDataPro 1402.
Those are my steps and bugs findings:

Full Route is: LFBO-AFRIC-G39-FJR-UY25-SALIN-UY341-MTG-UY373-ABLAK-Q302-AMFOU-LFMN

INIT A: Insert the route LFBO/LFMN , CI 20, FL310 all OK

INIT B page: Uplink data, first error show fuel calculations aren't done and show and orange alert insufficient EFOB, instead my fuel is ok. NOTE: This not happens if a raw flight plan is inserted and only uplink data at the end.
The correct things to do i think is for the FMS calculate the fuel from A to B also without a full plan then make the auto correction after it's inserted.

F-PLN page: Insert AFRIC, now in the ND a strange line going south appear see that in plan mode and another correct one going to AFRIC have a look.
8709
Continue to insert all the flight plan without any sid or star or rwy.

Suppose now we are cleared for a rwy 32L with AFRIC5B SID, go and insert that now we see the strange line going south to nowhere is not in the temp plan anymore, insert it and it disappear! this cleared the bug line.

But a new one is there... we have two AFRIC waypoint separated by a F-PLAN DISCO now i suggest to Jeehell to automatically get rid of those waypoint leaving only the one related to the SID or whatsoever. They are not shown on the ND but are there on the FMS the solution it to CLR the waypoint AFRIC after the DISCO that we inserted manually, CLREAR also the DISCO and this will be ok. You can see the double waypoint here:
8710
Just to show you what happens if we clear only the disco and leaving the two AFRIC waypoint:
8711

Here going trough the plan you can see BULTO waypoint is not overflied, don't know if it's a bug or it's normal because the waypoints are too near and the fms prefer this way:
8712

The double waipoint happens also when you select the star for ex. AMFO6R then we have two AMFOU waypoint, please correct this.

I haven't flown this route yet but only tested the route management capability and help Jeehell to sort out those bugs and make the best software available there!
Thank you very much for your effort.

~Alan

You can assign the PTT button with FSinn or whichever client you use for Vatsim/IVAO.

[OmniAtlas]

Hi JH -- thanks for the update today -- tried out the new beta.

Seems like beacon marks are now working -- OM, MM, IM --I am doing circuits around KRFD ILS RWY 7...prior to takeoff the IM is blinking -- is this because of the autotune ILS, or is it suppose to be inhibited before you are in the air? Also, the beacon sounds - is that managed with p3d or your sound software?

I like the new implementation with the DH on the PFD -- you can now clearly see when it is coming up :) // edit - looks like it's the terrain line moving, not dh.

I have assigned sidestick AP off to the correct assignment as you have suggested, however I noticed the warning sound automatically shuts off. Doesn't it require 2 clicks on the AP off button (one click for AP off, another click for the warning sound to go away)?

Thank you.

[jeehell]

Hi,

@All: a new update is available. It should correct most ND freeze occurences.
Also, now Flaps and Slats will move only if HYD power is there (only for FSX/P3D, this is not possible under FS9).

@Davide: Thanks for you report. I corrected the "south line" in current update. As for the MDCU, it will calculate the route only if properly initialized (weights, FL, CI, PERF TO). And anyway, the VNAV (as this are all VNAV calculations) is still way from perfect.

@Ben: the markers are triggered according to a distance from the marker itself. If the IM is too close to the runay, it can happen. I disabled IM receiver when the ACFT is on hte ground...
As for the AP TO button: this is the point of it: you get only 3 cavalry charges, instead of a non stop one if you use the AP buttons on the FCU.

Regards,
JL

[dcutugno]

Tried the update, line is gone! good!
I found that the INTCP on the ND is not readable 'cause it go over the TOU VOR.

And what about the double waypoints?

[GlobalGentleman]

You can assign the PTT button with FSinn or whichever client you use for Vatsim/IVAO.
@OmniAtlas: Thanks for the tip, much appreciated!

@JL: for a client/server setup, should the navdata folder appear on the client PC exactly as it does on the server PC, including the fsscenery.cfg and navdat files? I'm wondering if I've duplicated it unnecessarily....

Thank you.
~Alan

[OmniAtlas]

I believe the navdata folder has to go on the computer which is running the MCDU. Correct me if I am wrong.

[RigoA320]

Hello JH


The problems I had and operated by the update again ND and MCDU
But now I have another problem and Large. and although my Throttel regaiert no more, all the settings in FMGS server for Joystike are all values ​​set to zero by Throttel. Flex - Cl - Idel, and so on, can not enter a new value, despite Connegdet, it does not recognize my Throttel,?
Was not previously penetrateth need help, otherwise I can not fly!

Hi JH -- latest beta, flaps sound repeats (when set to 1, or 1+F I believe).

Cheers.

[tcane]

Hi Jl,
after your latest auto update I got a big issue with my flapslever, where I integrated with a sioc script and the sioc-creator.exe in to your software. I set the flaps to 3 or somewhere else an nothing happens on the ecam. But I hear the sound of flaps moving repeating, like OmniAtlas.

:,( I'm to fast with the update, because I want to fly this evening a little bit. I think this looks not so good. :)

[Leonidas]

I believe the navdata folder has to go on the computer which is running the MCDU. Correct me if I am wrong.

In my case, they're in different PCs...

[filippoporcari]

the navdata database (navdata file) goes in the navdata 1 & 2 folders on server pc...it's done automatically the very first time u run navdb app on first install.
the client pc(s) running displays and/or mcdus have navdata folders but they're just empty.

I just installed the last update, now E/WD and SD remain dark. Network connection is fine, but server says "not connected" for both.

EDIT:is it possible to downgrade to the last B31, as I think this was - for me - the most stable version until now?!

[RigoA320]

Hi Steohan


Since I can only agree with you.
I have also made ​​one last update yesterday on the 32.2, only disturbances.
ND - MCDU was resolved that, came the next problem, Throttle, FMGS Config I can not anymore my Throttle Calibration, Toga / Flex / Idel are zeroes, can do nothing have everything Tried my Throttle no longer acknowledges although everything Connegdet is, do not come on.
Wanted to make a beautiful flight, and now they any ground and wait for an answer from JeeHell.


Greetings Rigo

[jeehell]

Hello,

For those who want to use B31: http://www.jeehell.org/A320FMGS_B31.5.exe.
Just to be clear, I do not provide support for older version, so do not ask anything if you use that version...

I truly do not think latest B32 is less stable, I use it every day, and other people use it as well without blocking issues. Only know "big" issue is the flaps sound which I'll try to correct today.
Make sure you DID update on ALL your computers.

@Rigo: I'm sorry, but your message is not clear enough for me, can you try to reformulate it?

JL

[RigoA320]

Hello JH


Have 2 days ago made ​​an update, 32.2, now my Throttle from the company FScockpit Eu is no longer no longer FMGS server (config file) for YJoystike there!
The LEV 1 and LEV 2 does not recognize my Throttle,'ve Tried everything but I can not adjust, are in Toga / Flex / CL / Idel only zeros, there were pay in advance for the numbers of revolutions of the engine??

Regards Rigo

[tcane]

Hi Jl,
nobody but me got an issue with the flaps lever if they use it over a sioc script? Strange! Mhm, what i´m doing wrong then?
Updates done on all computers, engines run (i think the hydraulic pumps, runs also if the engines run, or??? ;) )
In the Version 32.1 the flaps lever works fine, after the autoupdate hear only the sound of the moving flaps, but nothing happens on the ecam.... If you say the version 32.2 works stable i have the feeling that i´m doing something wrong. O.o Maybe you or somebody else, can help me with this. :)

@Rigo: Please, keep calm! Jea Luc make this genius software for everybody available and for low!!!! Please realize this also and does not abuse, when something does not work what are you possibly even your own fault!
If you like a software who works perfect and easy to plug and play... buy the software Project Magenta. This just my two cents...

Regards Florian

[jeehell]

Hi,

@Tcane: as I said, the flaps issue is the only big one. I'll try to correct that today.
Also, I do not think Rigo is being rude or impatient, it's just a lan,gauge barrier I think...

@Rigo: If I understand correctly, you cannot adjust the position of your THR LVR in FMGS Config. Are you sure it is linked to the new beta? Can you try installing the 31.5 version with the link above?
It could be an hardware issue. I can assure you I did not change anything related to THR LVR configuration.

I assume Rigo is using Google Translate :) dont think his words are offending. I will reinstall from Zero and report what happens.

Oh, and I thought there would only be a problem with the sound and not with the moving of the flaps lever also. Had a misunderstood. Is the new update already finished an ready for download? Then i will try this afternoon.

[Leonidas]

Hi to all.
Thanks JL for update.
Some issues after a couple of flights:

1. The remaining sound of flaps, that someone else wrote about too.
2. The button "Show/Hide Unnecessary Windows" doesn't work.
3. Clients windows (PFD, ND etc) freeze and a frame "Out of memory" apperars. I've never seen it before. I suppose there is something about the all new EIS.exe. I should restart starter in order to continue my flight.
4. When I disconnect A/T before landing these known messages appear on EWD: "AUTO FLT A/THR LIMITED" (RED), "THR LEVERS.....MOVE" (BLUE). In other words I can't land it manually.

Hello I installed B32 with OC Throttle plates running.
1 - After setting MCDU and ready to take off, the FCU not enter into managed mode only works when on the ground.
2 - In flight in the MCDU PERF page is in dispononivel.
3 - Alignment IRS takes 10min, Is there a way to be faster?
4 - APU also takes some time, no way to be faster?
5 - Detent position CL does not appear in ND N1.

Hi Paulo

IRS needs in real that time, you can do a quick start by turning IR knob to NAV then Off and NAV again, than it will take around 30 sec. (RTFM ;) ). The APU start will take that time too, there is no quick start for that.

@Leonidas: fixes coming soon. One thing: the out of memory issue is strange and unknown to me yet. You get it every time you launch thes oftware??


@Storm24: please read the manual, and the FAQ.
1&2) Most probably you did not correctly fill the MCDU.
5) not very clear. Did you configure the THR LVRs in FMGS Config?

regards,
JL

[OmniAtlas]

Make sure you have adequate deadzone I'm your throttle levers or there will be errors when you try and use the fcu.

[tcane]

Hi JL,
no problem. ;)
I use this following sioc-script wich i integrated with your sioc-creator.

Var 0000, Value 0


Var 0510, Link FSUIPC_OUT, Offset $0BDC, Length 4 // Flaps


Var 0512, Link IOCARD_ANALOGIC, Input 1, device 1, PosL 5, PosC 91, PosR 183 // Flaps Status 0-16383
{
L0 = V0512 * 64.247 // 16383/255
V0510 = L0
}


Maybe i find the fail in the script... I use Var 0000 (not over 0500) for the value??? But in your Version 32.2 without autoupdate this script runs perfect. Strange...

regards,
Florian

[jeehell]

@All: an update is available.


@Tcane: this script could not work correctly in B32.2. Maybe you had the correct flaps setting in your FS model, but the EWD most probably showed incorrect values for the flaps.

It is NECESSARY to use the flaps controls offered by my software. If you use an opencockpit axis, you can declare it in SIOC Creator in the MISC tab (axis 1 to 16), then you must configure the Axis in FMGS Config as you would with a regular joystick axis.

JL

Hi Jl,
thanks for your reply and help.

[OmniAtlas]

Hi JH -- trialing out the new update as we speak....aircraft is climbing very slowly pass 10000 alt....speed doesnt pick up also even though I have tried manual speed control (I am in CLB mode in the throttle lever).

The speed of the aircraft is also no longer displayed on the lower left corner of the PFD...
Flap Sound loops are still present on the ground...

Also 'auto brake' keeps on blinking on the wheel page when I am in the air and wheels are already retracted.

Is there a new aircraft model file?

[OmniAtlas]

More testing...unable to fly pass FL200...and speeds unable to go faster then 195 knots even though N1 is at 88% both engines.

Right clicking on the FCU alt to a descend altitude pushes my VS to 5600 and not the normal 1000....

I am using the latest .air file from 2/9/2014.

[jeehell]

Hi,

Are you sure LDG gear and SPD BRK are retracted?

JL

[OmniAtlas]

Yes, retracted, with FMGS, and also viewing the aircraft from outside shows it is not extended. I did play around with the inhibit spoilers/airbrakes functions at flap full prior to take off (then i put spoilers back in the arm mode, and flaps 3). Perhaps the aircraft still thinks the airbrake is extended?

8759

-- had to do an emergency landing because I had used up all my fuel from my flight from Brisbane (YBBN) to Sydney (YSSY) attempting to climb. Landed in armidale.

Notice right after landing the TO check list pops up again?

[jeehell]

Did you check the outside view to see if the SPLRs and flaps are retracted as well?

[OmniAtlas]

Did you check the outside view to see if the SPLRs and flaps are retracted as well?

Yes, spoilers and flaps retracted in the outside view.

[jeehell]

Did you try closing everything and restarting?

[OmniAtlas]

Did you try closing everything and restarting?

I'll try a different flight...i did reclose and restart everything.

[OmniAtlas]

Did you try closing everything and restarting?

Flying now live on ivao, KPHL to KJFK
I am climbing slowly only at 300, I don't know why.

I also noticed when FMGS starts, engine sounds also do not shut off. Engines themselves are not started, but the sounds are still running.

I am also unable to change speed in selected mode...stuck at 230 knots.

8760

[OmniAtlas]

Confirmed -- I can decrease speed in selected mode, but not increase speed past 220 knots. Flaps and spoilers are retracted. Perhaps the aircraft still thinks it is extended to Flaps 1? :P

Aircraft could not climb, and descent speeds on selected altitude drops to 4500 ft:

8761

[ToTom]

I have the latest update too.
Climb up and speed control - it all works perfectly.

If I start the clients first, I have the same problem although I installed last update, but if I start server first (or if I restart clients), there is no more memory problem. Please see the Device Manager of a client before restart. EIS.exe consumes almost 1.5MB memory!

i will ill test again this evening. I will delete the project airbus folder and reinstall.

[OmniAtlas]

Reinstalled the project airbus .. able to climb, with autopilot on at THR CLB I am only doing a 5 degree climb at 250 knots. Flaps are retracted and so are spoilers and landing gear.

My GW is 61630 kg (loaded using TOPCAT); is that too heavy?

I don't know what else is the problem...I never had this issue before.

--

ps. i know this would not be possible if you had a hardware axis, but you can still extend the spoilers on the ground, and then 'arm' the speedbrakes (with "Y"). When I took off the speed brakes were of course retracted.

[Stephan Schwarz]

I must say a complete reinstall has solved my problems which I had after the Auto-Update from B31 to B32 ... you can backup your FMGS folders on all computers and do a complete new installation.

I had 32 running find, I think it was the upgrade to 32.2 (2 days ago) which caused the problem.

I am now running 32.2 released today with the same issues.

I guess a full reinstall maybe the only option. Really tedious re configuring the controls.

[ToTom]

Really tedious re configuring the controls.Just copy the two files:
AControls.cfg and JoySW.cfg from A320FMGS\FMGS Server

[jeehell]

Ben, what do you use for controls of flaps, gear and spoilers?
Can you send me the very same file ToTom pointed out (I PMed my mail)? (you can copy them from version to version, they keep the joystick configuration).

JL

[OmniAtlas]

Hi Jeehell, I've e-mailed you the 2 files (thank you ToTom)

I have it setup with the Logitech

Flaps are assigned to the buttons (one step increment, decrease)
Spoilers are assigned to the axis on the joystick
Auto pilot disconnect to the main trigger button.

[OmniAtlas]

Just did a outside view of my aircraft with engines not started yet -- look at the elevators and ailerons!

But I double checked my joystick config and everything seems to be in order...

8764

edit--
Elevators and ailerons go back to normal positions after engine and hydraulics start.

I have noticed the aircraft is able to climb with A/P on at about 2500 V/S, but after I pull back the throttle (using THRLVRs.DLL) to throttle CLB, I can only climb less then 1000< V/S.

[jeehell]

Without hydraulics and no velocity, this is normal, the gravity pulls the governs down...

I looked at your files, they seem correct.
Please take the same picture as above (but with SD page on FCTL), but in the air while passing 5000ft or more.

JL

[OmniAtlas]

Screenshot at 6600 ft...difficulty climbing, now the aircraft will attempt to climb, then pitch down again.

Am I using the correct .air file? pa320-cfm56-2.air 2/9/2014

8765

[OmniAtlas]

Hi Jeehell -- I have published a video -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rzj-E6Tpw6M with the problem

[OmniAtlas]

Notice some other ?bugs (this is with the latest release today) --

I like how you have inhibited speedbrakes when flaps are FULL, i also like it how you auto retract speedbrakes when flaps are going from flaps 3 to 4. However, when retracting back from flaps 4 to 3, or to 3 to 2, or to 1, I have noticed the inhibit function continues and *speedbrakes* (edited, originally posted as flaps) can no longer be extended. Is this the correct logic?

Sound loops with flaps still present but not there all the time now.

There is a rule that not all speedbrakes extend when AP is on, however when it AP is turned off, all speedbrakes will open. I will try and find that reference for you (I am not too sure if it can be programmed).

Thank you again JH.

[jeehell]

You don't arm the SPLRs with FSX controls by the way? Only with my software?

[OmniAtlas]

You don't arm the SPLRs with FSX controls by the way? Only with my software?

Yes, spoilers are only armed using 'Y' on the ECAM.

[jeehell]

well I tried with GW=67577kg and full manual SPLRs, the acft still climbs ate 2000fpm past FL100... so SPLRS is not your issue.

You said you load with TOPCAT? can you try without that? you load the acft from aircraft menu again. Then you manually change the load of the acft to around 65000kg. I heard there were issues with topcat and my soft already...


JL

[OmniAtlas]

I JH, had no issue with TOPCAT before...I'll just re install from scratch tomorrow, hopefully that will fix all the problems.

[filippoporcari]

ben, from my experience with TOPCAT and ifdg 320 model (which is actually used by jl) when transferring fuel and payload figures to the sim topcat screws up something and if after loading with topcat u check the sim "fuel & payload" page u'll find an aircraft with a totally upset center of gravity totally out of range!

Hi JL!

I've made the first integration of ADIRS Display with Opencockpits IOlcd Module and SIOC.
Some values I can get out via standard FSUIPC like GS, Wind Dir, Wind Speed, LAT/LON Position

What I'm missing is:

- TRK Heading
- IRS Allignment Status
- Remaining time to allign
- STS (not that important)


I would like to ask you if you could provide this data via FSUIPC variables?

ok tom.....i assumed it was ifdg because read ifdg on the folder inside A320FMGS folder containing the aircraft model :-) and maybe on some old jl documentation but maybe i'm wrong about this last point.

Hi,

Honestly, these features are so rarely used, the real pilots do not even train for them in the sim, and modern A320 don't even have the display and keyboard anymore...
If you really want to have some more info displayed, HDG and TRK can be derived from FSUIPC easily as well. But it's not very likely i'll add IRS alignment status to FSUIPC (first because the less I use FSUIPC the better I feel, and second because this is really not top priority...).

Jean Luc,

I just downloaded the last update, now the CPTND remains dark. CPTPFD and FO side work without any problem. Deleted the axis for the dimmer, but that did not help either. Any idea?

Greetings

[jeehell]

no, did you try to close it and restart it manually?

[Stephan Schwarz]

Yes, I restarted both the server and client computers, started the ND.exe manually and deleted the ND.ini. In all cases this single window remains dark. It is started, no question. But just a dark spot on the screen ...

The ND.exe is longer used. Search the EIS folder, there you'll find a shortcut to launch the ND (using the single EIS.exe as main executable).

Fuel and weights are all in range. No problems with TOPCAT, I even tried different weights.

I have reinstalled FMGS -- same problems occur - the aircraft climbs very slowly. Above 10,000 alt it is unable to pick up speed <250 knkts.

I have run the updater and everything is current (A320FMGS_B32.2.exe is downloaded, do I have to run this also?).

I will try one last flight this time with default fuel without using TOPCAT.

I don't know what else is the problem.

[jeehell]

When you say you reinstalled the FMGS, which version was the base one?
Try download the B32.2 from here: http://www.jeehell.org/A320FMGS_B32.2.exe and do a full install from scratch (including controls etc, keep a backup of old install).

Using the one on the first page of this thread, and then updating. I will reinstall with A320FMGS 32.2.exe and retest

Note -- I am using P3D 2 .1 with the latest released hotpatch (this shouldn't affect FMGS).

[jeehell]

Also, default fuel is too much.
In FSX fuel and load planning, put 75% of fuel in wing tanks and 50% in center tank.
ALso, make sure ZFW is around 55t.

Reinstalled from new 32.2 and also used the auto-update.

Still unable to climb or exceed speeds past 250 knots using weights from TOPCAT. I will try again tonight with 75% wing tanks, 50% center tanks with ZFW around 55 tons.

FWIW, Omni you're not alone. I have also been experiencing problems with climb rate and sometimes the altimeter not advancing at all until I change the Baro ref to STD, then presto! then the altimeter reflects accurately....also, I have a very slight 100-200ft V/S bounce while in Cruise. This all seems to be happening only when I use the Topcat 'injection' method via network.

I have not tried adjusting weights in the fsx fuel/payload menu afterwards...this is purely Topcat data injection into the sim, finish all other necessary preparation, then fly. I have also not yet tried any different weights such as JL recommended above. I simply wanted to add some info which might help narrow down the issue....and it seems like Topcat might be at fault as it interacts?! fyi, my topcat a/c profile is the PM Airbus as ToTom had suggested a while back. I've been using that for about a month now.

Hope this can help in some small way.

~Alan

[OmniAtlas]

Hi Alan -- at least I know I'm not the only one going crazy!

I have tried loading the a/c with the recommended weights by JH -- no TOPCAT involved. A/C is still unable to climb, and only does so very slowly < 1000 after taking it out of TOGA/FLX -> CLB

Initial climb out is okay even with A/P involved.

What else could be the problem? I have a feeling it may be the .air or aircraft.cfg file, but everything seem to work perfectly before.

[ToTom]

Strange.
Everything works in my setup. With and without TOPCAT. With and without real weather.
I attach screenshots:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/bg0p1e8he0co0de/y1zlBCoinH


When I use TOPCAT, prepare load, then I'm doing exports. Then send (not save).
P3D2.1 without the hotfix.
Maybe TAT/SAT is wrong?

Hi ToTom -- can you try installing P3D2.1 with the hotfix? That may be the problem, it is the only other thing I have installed in P3D besides the 32.2 upgrade. I am using OPUS. TAT/SAT temperatures are reasonable - ~ 23 degrees (YBBN)

My regional language... just english/american I think...I don't think that should matter because it was working fine before.

If it is not a flap/spoilers problem (all are retracted), then somehow I think the AP (FCU) is not communicating correctly with the aircraft to tell it to pitch correctly, especially when in CLB throttle mode.

[ToTom]

I do not installed the hotfix, because I do not use a2a aircraft. Is there any other reason to install this hotfix?
Have you tried FMGS with FSX?

[OmniAtlas]

Well, did another test -- I can climb in TOGA mode...albeit slowly. Once I go to CLB mode the aircraft fails to climb.

Too heavy? But I have put minimal fuel, and weights....

@Tcane: this script could not work correctly in B32.2. Maybe you had the correct flaps setting in your FS model, but the EWD most probably showed incorrect values for the flaps.

It is NECESSARY to use the flaps controls offered by my software. If you use an opencockpit axis, you can declare it in SIOC Creator in the MISC tab (axis 1 to 16), then you must configure the Axis in FMGS Config as you would with a regular joystick axis.

JL

Hey Jl,
today i try your recommendation. I have made a new fresh installation of your software and made the autoupdate. I declare the two opencockpit axis from the Flaps and Spoilerlever in your SIOC Creator, so like you say it, and assign after in the FMGS Config as a Joystick. It has also recognized both axes. So far so good. The Flaps axis could not be move the controller, but there were data output to calibrate the detents. I think this is normally because i got this same issue by the ruder pedals sometimes.
But when i have started all, i can not move the Flaps... no sounds, nothing. The Spoiler works fine and well.
In this picture you can see that both axis assign. http://www.bilder-upload.eu/thumb/5fa6d7-1394033647.jpg (http://www.bilder-upload.eu/show.php?file=5fa6d7-1394033647.jpg)

I hope you or somebody can help me with this... :,(

Florian

[jeehell]

Hello,

@Tcane: easy issues first: your error zone is WAY too big. Use 20 maximum in your case. You should use a value of around 10% of the total range of your axis, here you go from 0 to 255 so 10% is around 25. 20 should be fine also, this allows each detent not to overlap with the next one (for example FLAPS 0 is 3, plus 20 it is 23 which is less than flaps1-20=43 , so no overlaping here). If you use a SIOC analog axis for you rudder, you probably have the same issue with neutral zone!


@Simstar: no idea, for me it works correctly. As said already in several threads, since B32, there is no longer any ND.exe to run. You must run the shortcuts located in EIS folder if you want to start the software manually. Or run using the starter.
Also, if you (re)installed the complete suite, please use the B32.2 installer (http://www.jeehell.org/A320FMGS_B32.2.exe).

@OmniAtlas: If weight & balance is not the issue, nor the flaps/splrs/gear, then I can only see an issue with your weather addon. Some create strange things in P3D as far as I know. Please try with the default P3D weather system (use the default clear sky theme).

I have just reinstalled the server with the exe JL posted a few posts above. The ND is working again, I was able to use my saved config files. So everything looks fine for the moment.

I use for the dimmer two regular potis who are attached to an Arcaze interface and know as regular axes under win7.

Hi JL, I initially thought it could also be the weather, so I have been testing with default P3D weather. The same problem occurs.

Question - can your flex temperature greatly affect your climb performance?

I have entered the following into the MCDU (calculated by TOPCAT), and I am still climbing at only 600 VS and unable to accelerate pass 250 knts at 10,000.

FLEX: 45 C
Limit (kg) 77000
Code MTOW
V1 134, VR 134, V2 149, N1 88.0%


Have the airbus simobject files been modified? I noticed it gets installed twice into the SimObjects directory. For example --

E:\Prepar3D\SimObjects\Airplanes\a320 FMGS JH Project Airbus A320-214\a320 FMGS JH Project Airbus A320-214

I have since removed the additional installed aircraft (this happens after the Jeehell installer finishes).

[OmniAtlas]

Removed the old Jeehell folder, also deleted a320 FMGS JH Project Airbus A320-214 in the simobject folder.

Reinstalled B32.3; same issue :-\ unable to go above 230 knts even at selected speed, and poor climb rate. Help please, this is very frustrating.

[Stephan Schwarz]

Maybe you take the time and install FSX to exclude the possibility that P3D is the problem? You may backup your PC with Acronis or similar software, so you can revert this step if it was not successful.

Cheers

FOUND THE PROBLEM....

FSUIPC 'smooth wind changes' -- I had it enabled. I have now disabled it and can climb again!

Wow, had no idea why that would cause problems.

Congratulations! I also have this option active, but have not realized such a problem. I will recheck and do another flight tonight, maybe it is really a problem of P3D / FSUIPC only ?! I´ll report again.

Regards................Brian W.

Yes, the latest update today has broken the autopilot -- it pitches too much and the aircraft loses control. I realize there were changes to the aircraft configuration files today, so perhaps something has gone wrong?

JH -- the flaps sound also still loops, and never stops. I am using files from the A320 CFM56 sound pack (the one you recommended) by Daniele Frattini.

[AUA171]

I would like this feature also! I know you do not support older versions, but I would like to choose myself if I want to update or not, without the need to cancel the update every startup.

Just rename the exe "Updater.exe" to e.g. XUpdater.exe"

[RigoA320]

Ok Thank you

Regards Rigo

[filippoporcari]

i do confirm: unable to use the AP during climb...it pitches down instead of following the flight director pitch bar, i was able to engage it once in cruize fl280.
during all the flight had strange pitch oscillation of less than 1 deg but they were noticeble.

HI,

Ok glad you could find the issue there. That's weird, I never had any issues with that?? maybe only an issue in P3D V2?

JL

Very strange, I just tested again and I have the same problem with climbing in V/S. However, If I open FSUIPC (by the menu bar) and then close it again, the aircraft quickly picks up V/S. I am really confused and have asked Pete Downson if he has any clue.

I have tried the new update today -- thank you, the AP is fixed. I still get oscillations in the elevator at cruise level (strange), and the looping flaps sound when the aircraft and jeehell FMGS first start.

Thank you.

[steinbach72]

Hi JL,

I am not able to update today, I get repeated connections failures and finally always disconnect message at about 180 file.

Thanks Jiri

[jeehell]

Jiri, that problem should be solved tonight.

JL

[steinbach72]

Hi JL, thanks for info, I finally was succesfull with update, but I have still the same problem with CAT III autoland event after update.
During the test flight around the Wienna, AP disconnect during the flare ad aircraft was climbing again. Using Both AP, landing checklist O.K., full flaps, gear down, approach speed 135, not exceeding max. landing weight, autobrake low.

The second thing,I noticed strange behavior of AP during initial climb, when aircraft accelerates, VS goes to 0 and for short time to the slightly negative values too then suddenly up to about +4500 ft/min. - so aircraft is a little bit swinging. The similarly durning acceleration to 250knots and to 320 knots.
I hope it is not normal behavior of A32 AP.

Thanks Jiri

[jeehell]

Hi all,

It is best to do a full reinstall from B32.3 then update. There was a bug in the updater which has been corrected (first auto update will retrieve the new updater of course).

For those wanting to remove the auto update feature, you can add this line in the starter.ini (from the newer update of tonight):
Updater=no


Regards,
JL

[brianwilliamson]

Thank you JL, the update cured the AP problem 100 percent. One of the great things about this software is that you can un-install and re-install in a mere matter of seconds, and no ini files to muck around with. Brilliant !!

Cheers...............Brian W.

[RigoA320]

Hello JH


So I must also again a very big compliment to you depend, what have you there geschaft.
I know there are times mash problems, but you must consider the software does not cost anything, and it is increasingly developed.
I just been annoyed, but it goes on and on.
Luckily I still have very big help if I do not know how to continue, by Mr. Tomasz Maidan by the company FS cockpit eu. which is also quite fit in terms JeeHell.


PS just great software.

Hello everyone! Now using 32.3 (updated in the method described by JL) I'm still having an issue which I have no idea what might be the cause. Could someone please have a look at this video clip and tell me what you think I may be doing wrong (sorry for the shaky hand):
http://youtu.be/pOy4Vz0G-3U

The altimeter seems to be going backwards, but in climb out. I have positive v/s, etc. Very strange. This is with default FSX weather, no FSUIPC wind smoothing (congrats Omni! ;) ...the only thing I have adjusted is the QNH to match real world. When I leave FSX at 1013 this issue doesn't happen. Can provide more flight details if it helps. Apologies if this turns out to be a very basic solution, probably something I've overlooked.

Thank you all!!

Hello Alon


have it looked at me very strangely, so I do not put my ONH in FSX one, special to my Effi, but I have for a real cockpit. I put my ONH a way to those airport where I land which he knows when Ground Zero is .. so you can see not only the settings of you special display.

Hi JL,

I performed complete reinstall as you recommended here from B32.3 with updates, but I still cannot get autoland to work. Aircaft is still turning slightly to the right and climbing after the flare begins following AP turning off automatically [why?].
Do you have any idea?
Did somebody report the same problem?

Many thanks for help.

Hi Alan, If I understand well, you are using QNH than does not match the FSX one. I hope you should change the weather settings inside FSX to 1022 or if you use default fair weather, you should se QNH 1013.

Jiri

[jeehell]

Hi,

@Alan: check the settings of FSX for units: use the mixed settings: altitude in ft, speed in knots and pressure in mb (default is imperial :ft,kts,inHg).

@Jiri: never had that. What is the actual weight of the aircraft when you land?

Hi Alan -- looks like you may have to adjust your QNH setting -- FSX weather is inaccurate; so I would suggest using a commercial product like OPUS. You'll get accurate weather, and you will be able to adjust your QNH correctly.

As for the winds setting I adjusted in FSUIPC -- I don't think that had to do anything with it -- I had the same problem and I simply opened FSUIPC and closed it again and it was fine...I think I might have had some double joystick/axis assignments in FSUIPC which I have now deleted.

Seems to work fine now.

I hope they find the MAS aircraft soon (I'm originally from Malaysia myself) -- hope this doesn't turn out to be like another Airfrance 447 :(

Is there a golden rule in terms of activating approach mode?

For example, I activated approach mode while my aircraft was descending to 2500 ft.
Aircraft was at 250 knts, so it pitched the aircraft up to slow the speed down. But in doing so, I couldn't make the 2500 ft altitude waypoint to meet the GS attitude (aircraft was way above at around 3500).

Thank you.

[stefangr]

Hi JL,

since 26FEB14 my Flightkeeper always complains about wrong altimeter settings during takeoff or landing. In fact I have put the correct altimeter setting (e.g. QNH 1028 today for landing at EDDF). Flightkeeper records always 1018.3 at altimeter setting, for every flight since 26FEB during takeoff and landing.

Is it possible that the altimeter setting is no longer transferred to FS after a version change end of Feb? I am using FS9.

Thanks
Stefan

[jeehell]

Hi

@Jiri: unless you have a more visual description (i.e.: video) it's hard to understand what you encounter... I do not have any issue when doing autolands personally.

@Stefan: I think it's has been this way even before the end of February, I do not remember exactly. But the only way to have multipe independent altimeters (at least 3 in our case: CPT,FO,STBY and for some ISIS and STBY in meter) is by doing that: I fix the QNH setting of FS at 1018.25, and I then compare how many feet we get between readings at 1018.25 and readings at 1013.25(std pressure). This way, all altimeters are always independent and show a coherent altitude difference if set at different settings.

JL

[OmniAtlas]

One golden rule in a320. Or descent, or deceleration. Never together ;-)

8832

Usually the computer calculates the "Descent" phase, and when to switch to it...but I have also been told to activate at 7000 ft?

How would you calculate when to commence Descent phase prior to reaching FAF manually? And would it be disastrous if descent phase was activated after FAF?

[OmniAtlas]

Hi JL -- the speedbrakes fail to deploy in the latest beta, even at flaps 0.

[jeehell]

Hi,

When the flaps are inhibited (flaps full for example), and the lever is not at retracted position, you need to reset the lever to retracted first. Then, after the reset time, the inhibition stays for 10 seconds.
Check that and if it stills happen report please...

Hi JL, I've tested again -- speedbrakes still cannot deploy while in flight -- flaps are in 0 position and speedbrakes are not in inhibit mode. I have also trialed pass the 10 second mark and flaps 1, 2 and 3 still cannot deploy the speedbrakes. Speedbrakes are not in the 'armed' mode.

Hi Stephan,

you're right, currently the doors are always closed according to door page. I need to make an outside check. It happened before that I took off with right door open which is done with wing fold function in the model, so the A/C did not leave the ground on rotation. Hopefully the door page will undergo an update at some time so that we can check the status on that page.

Hey Guys,

a few days ago i did a test flieght with day actual beta 32.3 (09.03.14). The flight was without any issues from my point of view, Takeoff, climb, cruise and descend (now with CI of 020 much smoother but still with a "dive" into -4000) worked perfectly. The only things, that i mentioned were in takeoffrun need of right rudder, perhaps same cause as in single engine aircraft?
The other thing, that i mentioned, but only a small bug, that the final approachspeed in FMGS se4ems to be right (about 140tks), but indicator on PFD and managed speed 10 kts higher, even when adjusting Vapp in FMGS.

General question: Is it possible, that the general workload is much higher on the PCs with the new betas? I use three PCs of P4 at 3.0 GHz for different tasks (2 x PFD/ND/MCDU and 1 x SD/EWD/OVHD/STDBY) It feels like the PCs are now more stressed with the tasks.

Hi,
When A320FMGS is launched, I always have the screening of /scenery bgl files by FMGS_navdata. I thought, it should screen only once and not after. Can you confirm ? As the process takes some time, I get the message in FSX displayed that it is using old scenery file.
Other issue more painful : I suddenly (cannot explain what has been changed) cannot bind external hardware (bind error in hardware connect) with JH software as Ftd2xx.dll - attached to FScockpit hardware panels in Hardware modules directory - is displayed as "not a valid dll" on both server and client pc's (message in hardware connect). All ports are connected between both pc's. Anyone having experienced this before ? I did a clean B32.3 install but no change.

Regards Henrik
The need for right rudder could simply be some cross wind coming from the left.
As for the Vapp being lower than the actual target on PFD, Totom is most probably right.

The performance needs may have increased a bit for the PFD, the other should be at the same level?

Hi JeeHell,

I have an issue with my Thrustmaster Warthog throttle setup. In general it works fine.
The throttle functions with 0-65500 as normal range, and each handle can be lifted and brought into REV range, which does not result in a change of axis value, but a button press which is thus defined as REV_Max.
The throttles have been calibrated with a null zone of 1000.
Nevertheless when I have the throttles in Idel position, FMGS shows them as in reverse.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks again for a great package.

Hi,
@Pierre: the scanning occurs only when you start FMGS before FS, which is not the prefered order. FScockpit issues: this message does not mean it won't work, it's just that hardware connects looks at all dlls in its folder and detects if it's a valid module dll. If not it displays that message and moves on to the next dll...

@Stephen: you must install the 'compleJoy' module. In FMGS config you'll then get a new window which wil allow you to create a 'virtual axis' by combining the normal axis course and the reverse switch.

JL

Hello everybody,i'm new here at mycockpit; my name is marcello and i come from a little town near venice.
My biggest thanks goes to JL for the incredible and awesome job done on this suite; after a month of testing i can say that it is rock solid and smooth (no lag, no error,only some minor issues). Talking about minor issues i'm experiencing something weird about the Pa engine: they are or maybe for some errors on my setup they looks to me quite overrated; even taking off with correct flex t. and max weight and no wind the speed goes up very quickly and ,after airborne i need to pull up 20 to 25 degrees (pitch) to maintain v2+20; also the entire climb stage is very very quick compared to other products I've tried in the past ( i'm not saying other products like airbus x ext are more precise or correct).
Second thing the autothrottle in cruise stage, it seems like it is a bit "nervous" , the attitude of trying to maintain strictly the assigned speed makes n1 goes up and down intermittent within seconds. Example 80%-73% 79%-70%...and last thing, in the ils approach sometimes the ap is unable to intercept the localizer making wide left and right turn trying to intercept it instead of smooth and "light" turn.
Well, sorry for my bad english, i hope everybody could understand and maybe give some hint to correct some parameters or share other experiences with this great software suite.

Hi


@Asessa: this is strange. I do not have any issue with ECAM Logic not starting with the starter. When was the last time you installed a complete package (NOT using the auto updater)?
Also it seems you do not run the correct EIS application for EWD and SD.
With latest versions, the following files do not exist anymore: PFD.exe, ND.exe, EWD.exe, SD.exe (and their FO counterpart as well). They are ALL replaced by a single EIS.exe which is run with specific parameters by the starter OR by the shortcuts found in EIS folder. Are you sure you're launching the correct applications (or suing the latest starter application)? even if the old PFD,ND, etc... are still present on your computer, you msut not use them anymore, the installer cannot delete them...

@Marcello: the PA model is one of the most accurate. We compared the performance with real world data for the A320-200 and the difference is not that big.
The ATHR is indeed a bit nervous, I'll work on that later.
The ILS however works almost perfectly since B32 versions I think, there is only a very slight overshoot sometimes (and by slight, it means less than 0.5°...), so unless you arm LOC/APPR mode too late, this is strange...

[jeehell]

The latest link is http://www.jeehell.org/A320FMGS_B32.3.exe
it is required to make an auto update just after installing it, especially since you use hardware.
To backup buttons,axis etc, you jsut need to copy the files which look like configuration files (usually with .cfg or .ini extensions) in FMGS Server and Hardware Moduels folders.

Thank you so much for your reply, i'll try a full uninstall and reinstall. By the way, i've just bought a fcu panel from hispapanels with simI/O interface and in the meantime i wait for it, i'm coding the pascal script . So if you'd like after i'll finish and test it with the simIO board, i'll send you a copy so you can include it in your suite and the future users will have an almost plug n'play solution.

Input devices -- can you set them up over the network, or can input devices only reside on the computer where FMGS_server will be run?

Thank you.

Hi JH,
For me, I still have a problem with spoilers (fscockpit hardware). Flaps on same panel are not affected. I can arm the spoilers but they do not move. I did a full 32.4 install and reconfig of fmgsconfig for all axes. Can you help or someone who was successful. I have downloaded and copied the .air file.

HI

@Ben: the markers sounds are not from my software, I may override that later on, but it's not on the agenda yet.
All inputs should preferably be placed on the server computer. All joysticks will not be recognized if over the network...

@Pierre: once armed, they cannot move, not sure how FSCockpit lever is done.
If you move the THR LVR while in an inhibition case (check the FCOM for those), you must first reset the lever to retracted in order to be able to extend the flaps.

Thanks JH for your answer. Yes I agree that I cannot move them when armed. But before, when disarmed, and lever moved then there is a 'speedbrake' indication on ewd. This indication disappears when the spoiler lever is at 0. Now there is no more indication on ewd and no deployment on the aircraft view, so I assume it does not work (confirmed in flight).
By the way, the flaps are working but I realized that there is no change on the aircraft view.
Difficult to fly without spoilers. Any idea to help me ?

FS9 orf FSX?

[janinp]

do not really understand but it works in flight now. just the indication on ground that appeared before and not anymore. anyway thanks. I run under fsx. Now the persisting issue is the green message when I start A320FMGS indicating that I use an old fsscenery.
Kind regards,
Pierre

Thanks JL, I don't get any OM MM IM sounds. P3D/FSX should usually play these sounds if NAV is tuned?

What exciting features are on the agenda? :)

I do not know how these sounds work in FS.
As for new features, not much new things to come, mainly still working on the AP/FBW...

@Ben: as far as I know the sounds are deactivated by default; there is a tool available called FlusiFix2006, with this you can adjust several settings in FSX, including the marker sounds. But it is in German language only.

Thanks JL & Stephan. Its a minor thing, so no big worries -- you just notice these small things after watching videos :)

BTW, has the flashing ILS been disabled? I do not get an alert if I am closing in on a programmed ILS approach and have not armed the ILS.

Cheers.

The ILS amber flag on the PFD is only activated when APPR mode (ILS approach slected in FMGS) is engaged and LS scales are not displayed (LS or ILS buttons on the EFIS panels).

Thank you JL -- I have LS armed, but not ILS and wondering why the amber ILS does not warn. Apparently the Aerosoft Airbus X extended blinks even when LS is armed - I am wondering how a team of developers can get it so wrong, but you working on FMGS alone can get it so right :)

Must be Nice.

JL, tried to download the new airfile, but this computer with stupid Windows 7 refuses to do the download.

Any suggestions ?

JH also prepared a zip file:
http://www.jeehell.org/pa320-cfm56-2.zip
This airfile is also in the installer B32.4

[asessa]

edit..........

[filippoporcari]

just installed from scratch 32.4...previously uninstalled aircraft from fsx...so everything is clean and new.
something must be off in the new .air file or FBW : it's impossible to control the aircraft in pitch which suddenly "jumps" up or down on small stick inputs...also the AP is not able to control the pitch.
am i the only one with this?
cheers

Howdy JH. I'm lost!!! Recently updated software to B32.4 but it's constantly remains 'Disconnected'!!! I have installed this update on both the server and the client ensuring that the server.exe isnt installed on the client!!! It simply reads - Ports ranging from 8003-8007 are disconnected!! I have tried disabling the firewalls but to no avail. This is very similar to what I experienced having first downloaded the software!!! Is there a troubleshooting guide for installation? How can I ensure the ports are connected ?

I even downloaded the latest airac cycle as this new software required for the ND to work properly but the server and the client just wont connect!! Please help.

[brianwilliamson]

OK thanks for that Info. I tried the "save as" but no go !. Will get it from the B32.4.

There was an error in the first installer of B32.4 (corrected this morning). Check that you don't have a second aircraft folder inside the aircraft folder (i.e. look in FSX\simobjects\airplanes\a320 FMGS JH Project Airbus A320-214 if another \a320 FMGS JH Project Airbus A320-214 folder exists inside it. If so, the second one has the correct airfile.


@FamousWelshman: are you sure you did NOT install the FMGS serve also on the client computers? You must NOT select the Server and AP/FBW option on client PCs.

JL

[filippoporcari]

if i remember correctly no second acft folder inside the main one.
btw i'll just redownload the air file and put it in.
confirm no elev issues on your side?
must definitely be a local problem on my side.
cheers
