Hi all,

the B42 is available on auto update or direct download:
http://www.jeehell.org/A320FMGS_B42.0.exe

What's new:
-Tried to correct some joystick issues
-Enhanced some braking temperature things
-Added navigation Database HOLDs


Also, for those who asked several times: Navigraph should bring it's support to my software starting next cycle (1510, on 17h Sept).
I should be able to offer a free database (outdated of course...) from Navigraph, so it'll be possible to try for free the software before deciding to buy a navdata set.
Both providers will offer the same features in terms of database. Now, I'll leave you to decide which one you prefer (there are some differences on the DB, different pricings and services etc...).

By the way, Navigraph databases will work only from my software version 42.0 onwards.

Best regards,
JL

And here is the free cycle 1506 available as courtesy from Navigraph:
http://www.jeehell.org/JEEHELL_A320FMGS_1506.zip

You need to unzip it in the navdata1 (and navdata2 if you do not have another database to put there) folder on main computer.
If you had previously another database, remember to delete the .bin files to recompile the bin files, and distribute them across the simulator computers.

Hallo Jl,

Thank you, JL, for version B42. I tested the issue related the fuel load: you are right, if the APU (Master SW) is off, the fuel loading using TOPCAT works correct. Having APU (Master SW) on, the content of the left tanks is unpredictable. Sometimes, a second 'send' of fuel data updates the tanks correct. But as said, it is unpredictable.

The issue with the hot brakes still exists in B42 - as you now.

Thanks again for the update and your feedback!

Regards
Adrian

jeehell
09-08-2015, 04:42 PM
Just one note: the hot brake is not particularly an issue. just don't expect the brakes on the normal aircraft to stay below 300° unless braking is really careful...

JL

jeehell
09-08-2015, 04:43 PM
As for the fuel, I cannot offer any fix, I have to update the fuel for the APU myself to get accurate APU fuel consumption. The mechanism implies that setting the fuel from an external application may not work, I will not change that.

Hallo again,
made a short test flight. On the ND the green navigation line, ndb, vor, wpt, etc doesn't not appear. Also the TC/TD still on the display! Navdata @ the moment from Aerosoft with the last cycle and it has been loaded.
Can programming the flight plan with waypoints etc.

Hi JL,

thanks for the explanation. I have tested once more (with B42.0), and in fact the problems regarding fuelling exist when the APU is running. When I switch off APU, fuel load is working fine in both TOPCAT and FSRefuel. So I will switch off APU before fuelling, that's fine for me (and maybe even more realistic).

For some reason there is no glideslope in Sydney 16R (YSSY) when using FMGS 42.0. http://wiki.flightgear.org/Sydney_International_Airport

I have installed the new navigraph data. I am not too sure if it an issue with FMGS, Navigraph, or P3D.

Hi,
The problem has been fixed. Deleted and reinstalled all the *.bin-files from the Server and Clients. Now it seems to work all correct again. Didn´t know why i have to make this procedure before all running normal again. :shock:
Only the brakes are getting hot after landing. Landed with autbrake "low"... all fine and temperature in normal conditions.
Taxi to the gate without any braking and the temperature rises to hot. Also when i still on the gate and after shutting down the engines... the temperature rises.

Cheers

Looks like I don't get a glide slope (also seen in Brisbane, YBBN) and this may be due to an error with the database.

I've experimented and it looks like the database only needs to be present on the server file -- MCDU running on the client works fine with all the data points. However take a look at this when I load departure on runway ILS01 (Brisbane)

http://www.mycockpit.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=10704&stc=1


Frequency is recorded as ILS/FREQ IBA/10950.00 http://www.airservicesaustralia.com/aip/pending/dap/BBNII01-143.pdf

The IBA of Brisbane is 109.50 (this error also shows up on the PFD on the lower left hand corner).

I've reinstalled FMGS (deleting the previous navdata folder) with the same bug.

Thank you for the quick fix, ILS display error is solved now.

Glide slope however is still not operational, and it does not display on the PFD and I am unable to get a glide slope lock.

Localiser is able to display and lock fine.

Yes, I've also tried back my old Aerosoft NavDataPro and the GS is now present and working.

It looks like the bug is isolated to the navigraph dataset. Cheers.

09-12-2015, 01:36 PM
Hi,

I updated the navdb.dll again, it should solve the glideslope issue.
You' ll need again to recompile the bin files for the fix to take effect.

Regards,
JL

OmniAtlas
09-13-2015, 08:18 AM
Hi JL, I've updated and deleted the bin files to recompile the database.

The glide slope is still not visible. Not only that, but WPT, VOR, NDB, APRT (selectable on the EFIS) data points are not visible on the ND when selected.

jeehell
09-13-2015, 10:03 AM
Very strange. I updated again the DLL, that one DOES work on my computers (tested at LFMN RWY 04L/R).
Again, recompiling the BIN files is necessary. And you need to put the new bin files on your remote clients as well.

JL

OmniAtlas
09-14-2015, 04:54 AM
Glide slope is now functioning with the navigraph data, but WPT/VOR/NDB/APRT datapoints are missing on the ND when selected on the EFIS. Database also resides on the client computer.

Switching back to the aerosoft database and copying to both client and server, these datapoints are now visible again.

jeehell
09-14-2015, 05:09 AM
I did test the navigraph database and the latest DLL also on a remote computer, and it did work. I see no reason for it not to work on your setup.
Please make sure you did copy all the bin files and that it of course has the right DLL as well on the remote PC (the updater should have been ran there... or at least copy if from server).

Regards,
JL

Hi JL, I flown yesterday and i noted a little problem with the IRS ALIGN.
At startup i put the IRS switches in correct position, but when i inserted my path in INIT PAGE (LOWW/EDDK) the FMGS returned "GPS PRIMARY LOST" error.
The IRS didn't align , i repeated the procedure several times and then was ok.

I use NavdataPro 1509 , any idea?

Hi Jeehell, I'm trying the new navigraph database and I have this issue: when I insert the the route in the flight plan everything seems to go ok. but when the sid in completed the navigation goes completely wrong. all waypoints are miles away and to solve the problem I have to write back the waypoint over the same wrong point. It is very strange. Then reverts normal performing the star at the destination airport.

Hi JL,

i did updated FMGS today to Version 42.0 and after installation i did update again, so I have current version.

Now i have a problem with Thrustlevers! not able to increase thrust. moving lever to reverse, reverser will open and thrust increase. moving lever from idle up to T.O. thrust does not increase.... thrust is staying in idle.... but ECAM shows the right lever position I have choosen.



Any idea?

Hallo Jan-Luc,

Today was the first opportunity for me to make a flight with the new navigraph database. The flight plan was EHAM GORLO UL980 LAM UL179 CPT EGGD. What I noticed was that the waypoints that originate from the SID and STAR are correctly inserted in the FMC, the waypoints from the flightplan are not, they have values of N0W0.

Hi JeeHell,

I just reinstalled all my computers and am facing a problem. How do I Setup the Skalarki Thrust Levers that are corrected to another computer? In Skalarki profiler they're working flawless.

If I open the Config Tool with FMGS running I get an error message. If I open it with FMGS closed, the config tool will not detect the THR LVRs (Skalarki Profiler shows "JeeHell A320 FMGS: no" because it is not connected to the Server).

What Software (P3D, WideFS, SkalarkiProfiler JH320 etc.) Needs to run and in what order, to make the THR LVRs be detected by the Config tool?

All Skalarki Hardware runs ok and works fine, except the THR LVRs - which I can't configure.

Sorry, you're right, that backup are AControls.cfg and joySW.cfg.
So, I can't even execute FMGS_Config.exe. It doesn't run (no message). Anyway, that update for Navigraph (Sept. 12) was so big (hundrends items downloaded) or something went wrong with update?

Hello Maddin,

in case TQ is connected to remote PC do it like this:

1. start remote and server PC
2. start FSX or P3D, or which one u ever use
3. start profiler on remote pc ( hope u settted levers up in profile before?)
4. start FMGSconfig.exe
5. run profile in Profiler on remote PC
6. now on server PC click in the field for TQ axe and move the lever to detect them

This is how it is working!

It looks as if the AP/FBW module is not connected to the FMGS server? Can you check that on FMGS Server window?

romeow
09-17-2015, 06:23 PM
For a change something quite different!

I've noticed that A/THR can't hold selected or managed speed as soon as wind speed changes are too excessive. In this case N1 decreases and stays between 66 and 72% - not enough to maintain speed. The blue arc asks more thrust but it looks like the needle can't exceed the 70 %. So the aircraft constantly loses speed.

Do all of you know this "bug" or am I the only one? Is this a problem of JH's software, of FSX or of the weather engine? Any workaround?

Regards
René
BTW While cruising with calm winds (or no weather loaded) A/THR works perfectly.

Are you actually able to get SID/STAR/APPR???
You have a problem way before the ND display, at the compiling process, for an unknown reason... As long as you don't have 9 bin files, the ND will not show the VOR/NDB/etc.

It seems it stops compiling while working on the holding patterns, which is weird. It could happen if you somehow try to close the server, but from what you say this is not the case.


Did you try downloading again the navdata file?
You have a navrecord file in both navdata1 and 2 folders on your Server computer?

JL -- with the latest update, rudder is now not controlled.

On the ground on take off the a/c runs off the runway with a rudder right.

In the air when I push the rudder full right, it does not centre on release and bounces full left before returning to neutral.

I have configured my rudder pedal correctly with FMGS config and did not have this issue before the latest update. Regards.

Hello everybody,

found the time to test the actual release on my sim and it works charming. But i found only issue regarding the prorityfunction of controls. When function is calles by stick or button, callout is correct but function is activated for the wrong side. E.g. left switch pushed -> Callout "priority left" and lights illuminate on left side green and right side red -> left joystick without function but right one is OK. Same problem, when right pushed, only left is working. Is it possible to fix this?

Hello everyone,


I put the 43.0 update online. This is a minor update, though I had to change several things in the installer package, hence the numbering to 43.0. I won't create a new thread...


The main addition is the official support for P3D V3.0. Please report if you have any issue with installation and running the software on P3D V3.0.
NOTE: the aircraft files are not copied into P3D V3 Simobject folders, as this is now the recommended way of adding objects to P3D.
So, for V3.0 users, the aircraft should be loaded directly from C:\A320FMGS\Aircraft\a320 FMGS JH Project Airbus A320-214
This is where you'll have to install the sound packags for engine sounds.
For those who manually installed the aircraft into the P3D Simobject folder, please remove it from there.


I also corrected a potential bug which made the OVHD logic app consume a lot of CPU.

Plus very minor fixes.

hi ben,
we did a lot of testing and discussion about this in volovirtuale.com (i'm a very active member there) to summarize i'm using the same settings (mid settings never pushed anything to max) used in 2.5....tried with clean cfg and with few "solid" tweaks but no go. all the users having win10 seem not to have stuttering i'm still on win7. in my opinion all started when i put in fsuipc (tried also very last updated dll) and it is required for skalarki to operate profiler.

To fix this issue with permanent asking for updates, just rename the Updater.exe (e.g. to Updater.ex_)
I always rename it so it will never be automatically executed.
I want to run the updater only manually, so I do not get updates automatically to avoid getting "buggy" updates installed.

cleanest way to update manually: open STARTER.INI file in fmgs main folder and add:

this has been told many times here :)

Hi JL -- perhaps give the user the option to use the ND pot to either control the brightness level of the screen, or for the terrain --- personally I would set it to the terrain intensity level for practicality purposes.

It doesn't seem to be airport related, I have seen a similar problem at EKCH the day before. I am using Aerosoft NavDataPro latest cycle (valid 12NOV-09DEC15). Maybe anything wrong with the NavData?
