Hello,

The latest version is now available!!
http://www.jeehell.org/A320FMGS_B47.4.1.exe
or with the auto update.

What's new in B47.0:
-Added Weather Radar using Hifi's ASN or AS16 (see below)
-Added EIS2 option (see below)
-Fixed Intercom Ext radio bug
-Fixed many FPLN and SEC FPLN little bugs (altnertate selection, procedures, etc).
-Added APU EGT moving EGT scale
-Corrected outer tank to inner tank fuek transfer rate (slower)
-Added engine anti ice valve opening timing (fault will illuminate a couple seconds).
-Added higher ground idle setting with engine anti ice on.
-Corrected ND freezes under some FPLN circumstances
-Corrected some FMA modes interactions/logic.
-Fixed AP disengaging every now and then (mainly for people using a trim wheel).
-Added RADIAL FIX INFO feature (not yet 100% complete)
-Fixed weird pushback radius


WXR radar:
1) on the "visual PC", a folder called WXR will be created in your FMGS installation (so by default, should be c:\A320 FMGS\WXR )
2) You MUST share this folder on your local network (if the NDs are located on remote computers). Take care with access rights, passwords, etc... Please seek help/advice on computer forums if needed, I do not have the time myself to help you too much here...
3) On the client PCs you will need to select that shared folder during the installation (you will be asked that in the window where you configure the ports/IPs).
4) If you do not have any hardware for the WXR, you can set the WXR controls through the MCDU, in the MCDU MENU page


EIS2:
EIS2 is now available as an option, which requires manual input. You need to add the following line in the file c:\A320FMGS\FMGS Server\PERF\PA320\Aircraft.ini
EISmodel=2

(EISmodel=1 or no line will give you EIS1 displays).

best regards

Hi JL,

and thank's for the suberb new features!

One thing I would like to ask is that because I'm
running only P3D at visual computer and Skalarki profiler and FMGS is at other computer, where should I find that folder? Also I'm running AS16 at third (instructor station) computer, so how to proceed?

Thank's for advance! :)

ASN/AS16 installation computer is no issue, as long as it works in P3D.
As I said in my little note, the folder is created on the VISUAL PC. You need to run the installer on all PCs, including the visual PC, and selected the appropriate options.

Make sure user Everyone has read/write permissions on the folder. And you are running ASN?

I suggest you go to http://www.badbadweather.com and look for some terrible weather. I had some airports with some rain but no data write to the wxr directory (EDDF for example) -- perhaps the precipitation was not severe enough.

I've achieve some success with the intercom app

However with the transmit button turned off (not green) it seems vatsim atc controllers can still here you. Will continue testing.

All the other features work great! You can tune into VOR by clicking the button, and even adjust the volume appropriately.

Hello, 'OmniAtlas'.

I must confess I am at a loss of understanding the purpose of the intercom app and so maybe when you have time and/or the inclination you can provide an explanation here on the forum of its worth and how you have it set up? I'm intrigued as to why and how you are using it for VATSIM. My current set up is with vPilot and a splitter cable coming out of a networked PC's audio card for the headphone and mic so that both pilot and F/O can listen and communicate with ATC.

All the very best,

I would need to check that. But the PTT(s) should be defined in FMGS (depending on your hardware...), in your voice app it should be left as an open mike, or maybe "synchronised" with the FMGS action (again depending on your hardware...).
I checked in the code, and the mikes should not "write" to the ext radio out unless the FMGS PTT(s) is(are) pushed in.
Make sure you have the PTT(s) push and release events declared (if not, you should get an ECAM caution after about 90s IIRC).

First, a big big thank you for your new and amazing update! Itīs so great what you do for the A320 Cockpitbuildercommunity and thatīs for low! :-D @ the moment all works fine for me!

Idīlike to use my selfmade WX Panel with my OC Hardware. I see there is allready a WX Buttons etc. integration for a Joystickcard, but did you plan an integration in your SIOC_Creator or should we write the script ourselves? Are the Offsets already stored somewhere?

Again, thank you, thank you, thank you, for your hard work!

Hi JL,
Great work on the new version! Appreciate those fixes on ND display! Also the EIS2 looks so similar to real bus!
May I know if my ND runs on remote computer, does it require write access right to the WXR folder? Or just read access right is enough?

Thanks for your help!

Hi JL -- In my previous test I did not assign a PTT button -- a keyboard button was assigned under vpilot for test functionality.

I will need to rethink the logic and of course retest with PTT button assigned.

The physical microphone is assigned to Captain mic (Flight Sound X) and this (through the repeater functionality of virtual audio control sends out to Line 2). Line 2 is read on Vpilot as the microphone device.

Perhaps with the PTT not assigned, the channel remains open on the ACP.

Hi Darren, the intercom app is ingenious. What Jean Luc has done is replicate the Airbus ACP -- which more the less is a mixer.

Instead of using expensive hardware to control intercom and voice components such as this:

http://www.mycockpit.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=12192&stc=1

All you need is the intercom app and the Virtual Audio application.

This allows you to perform advance functions by linking up replicate or genuine ACP to the software and minimicking the real deal.

For example, if you want to turn off VHF1 or adjust the volume, you can do so. If you would like to listen to both VHF1 and VHF2 at the same time, the software allows you to mix both frequencies so you can.

If you want to turn on the MKR ILS, VOR, ADF morse codes tuned in and have the notification with VHF1 also tuned it, it is possible.

Sure you could directly connect to vatsim or IVAO on the client, but you wouldn't be fully emulating ACP and intercom functionality on the aircraft.

This is why the software is so amazing :)

Well,

unfortunately I am also having trouble sometimes.

Here is the METARS for Sydney for example:



YSSY
Sydney Airport
Australia

0
800
23/22
29.88
YSSY 210630Z 35011KT 0800 +TSRA SCT008 BKN027 BKN032 SCT040CB 23/22 Q1012 FM0645 04008KT 9999 -SHRA


Here is the weather in Active Sky Next:

http://www.mycockpit.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=12193&stc=1

However WXR remains empty with no data files being written -- so in some cities I can get it working, but in others, not so. Will need to test further to determine why that is the case.


---

Matter resolved -- the aircraft must move for weather data to be updated and *.dat to be written.

Hi!

First I have to say: Thanks JL for this update. The new EIS2 format is great.


But I also have problems with the weather radar.

I've installed AS16 on a client PC and it works with the FSX. Weather injection and updates are okay.
I've updated Jeehell to B47.0, the WXR folder is shared and I can open it manually from the ND computer and see the files inside.
I've searched areas with (heavy) rain and flew some time in this areas but nothing to see on the ND.

Because I'm a Active Sky newbie, do I make something wrong?


Another problem I have in some bad weather with clouds and rain/snow (not every time) with the engines. They spool up and down quickly like in the video below and I only can set idle thrust to get out of that.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yxk92wi2kqyb1rs/2017-03-20%2020.45.20.mp4?dl=0

Any idea?

Ok! The truth was that i was not moving and also playing with the tilt.

Only once i slew the aircraft to FL80 with Engines Start and tryed it quickly with no WXR.

I will try with a normal flight and report the results.

If i disconnect autopilot from the thrust levelers (with athr take over) and turn athr back again it goes on for few seconds and then it disconnects. And after that I cannot turn athr back again. I have to shut down whole FMGS and then for the next flight it works again, but I have to be careful with athr take over!

This is my first update process since starting with B45 ;-)

So before hitting the auto-update button, just a few questions:
a) Should I make a back up of some files before? For example the config file with the joystick calibrations?
b) I am using a FCU from FSCockpit.eu - will the update take over the connectivity settings?
c) Would I have to manually reinstall the special sound pack and special livery?
d) I am using FSGRW for weather and Rex for clouds. Can I install AS16 + ASCA parallel without deleting FSGRW and/or REX?

Thanks a lot!

Hallo Ben,
Hallo All,

Thanks Ben for your short tutorial. I think this explain something for somebody here.
For me was the password protection new, too. And i think that was the small issue what i get yesterday with the switching from Terrain visual to wx visual and the terrain doesnīt gone (Because there was no weather displayed on the ND). Today i reinstalled the Main FMGS and make all things done like in your tutorial. On the clientīs there was no request about the password (in the past there was) and the weather was displayed again and also the switching between the WX and Terrain works without any problem.
I think after you reboot the clientīs normally you have reenter the password, that all works without any problem again. But with your Tutorial we can bypassing this! Thanks a lot.

Is your aircraft moving? Dat weather files do not write (the radar does not 'sweep') until the aircraft moves.

Glad to hear the tutorial helps. I will put up one on intercom next.

It did help. I will try to move the a/c, though I don't think that will make the difference - tried it before without any returns. Thanks again for the tutorial, and looking forward to the intercom one :)

Updated feedback:

I Finally made it with weather radar.
The problem was that I had P3D 3.2 and install Jeehell for P3D 3.3

After that the radar worked perfectly with the aircraft NOT moving in the main PC (P3D, ASKY and FMGS)

The problem I have now is that normally the ND runs in a remote computer and cannot "see" the files. I map the WXR drive from the main pc, but the problem is probably that the mapped drive have a different user (main pc's admin) and the ND in the remote runs with the remote pc's admin...

Hello,

I just downloaded the new little update for the version number and EIS2 displays... And now I have a problem with both PFD's. The left and bottom parts doesn't show on the displays and resizing doesn't help.

Also I tried both EIS1 and EIS2 setup. EIS1 shows little bit more at left and bottom of display, but neither doesn't do the trick...

Best regards

Hi JL!


I installed B47 today. My first test flight was successful without any problems. WXR works great.
One important topic for me is the hardware interface implementation for ACP and WX-Radar panel via SIOC (prefered) or FSUIPC.
I would really appreciate if you could get this done to bring my panels alive :-)


Thanks for your great work!

Hi JL -- with the latest update there is now a scaling problem on the PFD regardless if you use EISmodel=2 or 1.

Thank you.

edit -- just realize Tuomas above also mentioned the same thing. Oops :)

And if you guys didn't know B47 also includes a dimming potentiometer function for the weather and terrain, amazing :smile:

Hello JL,
i have found one other issue, the APU EGT did not work correct!
When the APU is starting, the temperatur scala is going to a higher position and after a few seconds, it goes down to 0 Degr, but the APU is still working !
Please have a look.

The assigment for dimming the weather and terrain can be found in FMGS_Config -> DUs Dimmer.

I have an old hardware Panel for the WX Radar. GAIN an TILT are Pots. Will there be an assignment for this too?

What did you have assigned for the release action (Skalarki TQ)? I found manual input flag. Is that correct?

Hi
Last update in the late afternoon, no particular problems except the FMA display which was incomplete, wider.
All is normal now after adding in aircraft.ini of C: \ A320FMGS \ FMGS Server \ PERF \ PA320
The following line: EISmodel = 2 to enable eis2

Since switching to B47 I no longer have the 'decel' display in green on the autobrake, it is active on the ECAM.
The display test is correct for all systems from "ann / l" in the test position on the overhead.
Am I the only one in this case ??

(http://www.directupload.net/file/d/4669/sgip9mc3_jpg.htm)

I have a 2015 Skalarki Pedestal with WxRadar panel, I can change gain and tilt with the Pots, but tilt gives one problem: While properly calibrated I can only turn the tilt down to 0 instead of -15 and so I mostly donīt see the precipitation on the ND. I can reach negative tilt values only via MCDU and then the precipitation display on the ND is present as it should be. Is that a problem of Skalarki profiler or can it be solved somewhere in JeeHell?

You have to look for the date of the A320FMGS_B47_0.ex file it must be the 23.03.2017. in my case the downloader did`t override the older once! Run the exe file again and you will see if it update, after this the updater come once again to update the PFD. In the whats new.txt you see then the following:
A320 Software Solution Beta 47
------------------------------


23/03/2017
What's new in B47.0:
----------
-Corrected PFD display




22/03/2017
What's new in B47.0:
----------
-Corrected wrong version being displayed
-Reworked PFD/ND EIS2 layout a tiny bit (to take up all visible area).

Now in my system i`m on the actual point.

Jean Luc would it be possible to bump a "patch version" number each time you update the installer? I think this will solve a few misunderstandings and make it more consistent. Much like what semver.org (http://semver.org/) suggests, a widely adopted software packaging/distributing naming scheme.

It could be like:
47.0.0->47.0.1 for fixing bugs, nothing else changes
47.0.0->47.1.0 for adding minor functionality that doesn't break anything and is backwards compatible safe
47.0.0->48.0.0 for adding major functionality that breaks/might break compatibility and/or requires some caution and/or advances the provided options a lot*

You're already doing this more or less, we just need the patch number too :)

*The last statement defers from the original semver proposal to be more consistent with how JH cycles are currently distributed

Question to those of you who have already made a "distributed" installation.

First, thank you very much JL for this very nice update!

Everything seems to work nicely. However, in my case I am unable to get the weather radar to work. Here is my setup:

PC 1: Running FSX and Jeehell FMGS Server
PC 2: PFD, ND, E/WD, SD and Software FCU
PC 3: Capt. MCDU and Overhead interface (this PC is a Windows-Tablet)
PC 4: Active Sky 2016

I always install as an admin on every PC. I have shared the WXR-folder on PC 1 and I have mapped the correct folder on every client PC. I am able to read and write to that folder from every PC. Active Sky 2016 is working and is injecting the weather into FSX. I just installed the latest FMGS update and I am currently flying in severe rain with rain and thunder/lightning. I have also read the nice tutorial for setting up the network share and I couldnīt find that I had missed something.

No files are being written to the WXR-folder on PC 1. I have not installed Jeehell FMGS on PC 4 since it only runs Active Sky 2016.

When I turn on the WXR through the MCDU, the only thing that shows up on the ND is the tilt value of the radar. It varies depending on the pith attitude of the airplane. EGPWS is working and I can turn on and off Terrain on ND as I could before.

Any ideas?

It's possible under FSX the simpatch module is not correctly installed, you may need to add it manually, it is required to have the WXR.

emulov
03-28-2017, 01:20 AM
With the simpatch module enabled the weather radar is now working! I had manually disabled the simpather because I was doing some flights with a small GA aircraft and FSX was always shutting down with an error. Now, with simpatcher re-enabled, I still get an error when shutting down FSX. But that is just a minor issue as long as the Jeehell FMGS suite works perfectly.

Thank you so much for your help!

Hi Jean Luc,

sorry for my bad english, but I have a problem since Beta 47.
In my Home Cockpit I use four Computers. On all Computers the software starts automatically via Autostart Folder. With a little tool I can start every software in the right order delayed in seconds.

On the PC running FSX and FMGS Server, the order for start is starter.exe, Skalarki profiler and then FSX.
This order is by the Situation that I use FSX in Full Screen mode. All Software must be startet bevor FSX is ready.

Since Beta 47, FSXConnect and HardwareConnect doesen't connect to FSX if it is fully loaded.
After FSX is fully loaded I must Close starter an reopen it. Do you made any changes?

Include Version B46 all works fine

Do you have any idear or solution for my problem?

Thanks Dieter

I also have the same problem with P3D and B47 on shutdown. I always get a crash some several seconds after closing P3D (generally with P3D the main window disappears fast when closing it but the program runs in the background for a while until it goes). Maybe simpatcher's cleanup code is not realising resources on receiving the quit event.

I also some times get the same crash while starting P3D after the welcome screen that allows you to select aircraft, airport, etc. I have a default flight with jeehell pa320 loaded in a gate. If this startup crash happens once will keep happening until I change something (usually select another aircraft, another graphics profile, airport), even if it would be the same loaded on the default flight, just reselecting it will most of the times work. I even deleted my default flight and created another one just in case there was something wrong there but again with intermittent crashes on startup. I didn't bother confirming simpatcher is the culprit as it is relevantly a small nuance and I didn't see anyone else mention it before.

Hello,

first of all thank you JL for the excellent update.

A few weeks ago I have had a training at Lufthansa Flight School A320 in Frankfurt. JL and DLH compared I can say that JL has done a really good job.
Nevertheless, I also noticed some improvement for JL:
First, all Airbus with fly by wire hold the position given by the pilot.
E.g. I pull up my airbus to v/s 1000ft/min. Then the Airbus hold a v/s of 1000ft/min (no autopilot!). In JL I noticed if there is a wind pulling or pushing the aircraft I can set it up again. So the real A320 get from the wind e.g. 2000ft/min and then it takes 1000ft/min automatically.

The next thing is that while taxiing on ground the JL Airbus has high acceleration on idle time. Sometimes I am (while both eng are on idle) speeds of more than 30kt.

Maybe there is a way to correct it. I know you have not a lot of time but for more reality this is important.
Thx.

E.g. I pull up my airbus to v/s 1000ft/min. Then the Airbus hold a v/s of 1000ft/min (no autopilot!). In JL I noticed if there is a wind pulling or pushing the aircraft I can set it up again. So the real A320 get from the wind e.g. 2000ft/min and then it takes 1000ft/min automatically.

The next thing is that while taxiing on ground the JL Airbus has high acceleration on idle time. Sometimes I am (while both eng are on idle) speeds of more than 30kt.

Maybe there is a way to correct it. I know you have not a lot of time but for more reality this is important.
Thx.
Niklas

Thank you Niklas. if you can post your request on the FMGS bugtracker list (where all bugs and request) are noted, then JL can take a look at implementing these features.

This is something i also noticed. Not always ( i will try to find under what circumstances this happens) although the Engines are on idle the aircraft moves. So i have to use about 15% reverse thrust to keep it steady.

Also i don't understand why the parking brakes (P3D default) is not working. I will check if there is an event from JeeHell configurator to assign it to a button.

Thanx,
Mike

IMO high ground acceleration is a sign of simpatcher not loading.

Ground friction/acceleration is a function of gross weight and density altitude. In real life and most configurations the airbus needs a bit of thrust to get started taxing and then it will happily taxi on a straight line with engines idling slightly accelerating to reach 15-20kts. During 90o turns it will dissipate some speed so a slight engine thrust is needed half way through the turn or while exiting the turn to resume taxi speed faster.

But a light enough plane on a low density altitude will accelerate to 30+kts quite easily and will require frequent braking action to keep it around 20-25 despite engines idling. A heavy plane on a high density altitude will need a bit of added thrust every now and then to maintain a faster taxi speed and a bigger boost on turns.

My experience is that with simpatcher working the taxi is quite accurate. Running the reversers to slow down the plane down in taxi or maintain a constant speed is totally unrealistic. Use the brakes if you have to (tap fairly to reduce speed, release then back to braking again if needed).

Hi Everybody, I installed B47 and all the updates. Since 2 days I get the Auto Updater which want to update my version. When I press update it downlods a B47 version which I installed. However the Auto Updater starts everytime again ??? This happened now on my main pc and also on my CPT Side PC. Additionally my CPT Side PFD is showing a too big font ? This is strange as it was solved already 1or 2 weeks ago ! Can anybody help ?

Hi all,

if someone has still problems with the athr button that it doesn't turn on anymore if you have disconnected it I have found the "solution". I think JH made an typo in here http://www.mycockpit.org/forums/showthread.php?t=31380&page=5 that write to aircraft.ini that "allowAFLOORinhibit=yes". It has to be NO! Then it works! :)


One thing I would like to know is that how the AP disconnect button from sidestick should work. When I am landing, little bit before I land I disconnect the AP from that button and there is that little beep sound for three times and it disconnects the AP and everything goes well (usually) :)

But when I have done that once from the sidestick button the next time (if I don't restart FMGS) there will be master caution, the alarm sound doesn't stop before I push the master caution and also clear the ECAM. I think the right procedure would be that every time when I disconnect AP from the sidestick it should only beep three times and that's that. Without master caution and alarm sound which I have to reset to stop?!?

Then I have a little problem. Always when I turn on the electricity to the aircraft the passenger oxygen system light is on at the OVHD. And I can't turn it off... One time it has turned off, but I can't figure out what caused it. Also the light is on at the FMGS 2D panel as well.

Hey JL,

I really like how the software developed over the last time and especially since the EIS2 it looks pretty neat.

However there are some big differences in the design of the ND to the real plane:
Pic from the real plane:
http://www.mycockpit.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=12217&stc=1

As you can clearly see, in the real plane the range rings and drawing area go all the way down to the VOR/ADF identifiers.
Also the font of the VOR/ADF information, the message boxes (which by the way can be two at once, if one of the is "TA ONLY") and the airplane symbol are much larger. In general it seems the text is larger and thus better readable compared to JeeHell.

Any chance to modify the ND to be closer to the original?

Best regards,
Martin

I have Skalarki's components, so I think this is a problem in the FMGS then?

And I have two sidesticks, for CPT and FO. If I push the AP disconnect once it disconnects the AP, but if I press the button like 2-3 seconds it will change the priority. If I push it in CPT side, the green light/priority button goes on at the FO side and the priority left... Is it right like this, that the light goes on at FO side and the priority is left (CPT)?

Just for your info, I am using FSX. It may be different for Prepar3d.


Open a Run box by pressing Win+R, then enter "shell:appdata". This should open an Explorer window inside the "AppData\Roaming" folder. Inside here you navigate to the "\Microsoft\FSX" folder. Here you will find the "dll.xml" file.


If you are unable to access the "AppData" folder, you might have to select “Show hidden files and folders” in the folder options first.


http://www.mycockpit.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=12229&stc=1


Open the "dll.xml" file with an editor and look for this entry:


<Launch.Addon>
<Name>SimPatcher</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Path>c:\A320FMGS\SimPatch\SimPatcher.dll</Path>
</Launch.Addon>


If you have the entry like above, your SimPatch module is installed, otherwise you will have to manually enter the above lines (copy - paste) and save your "dll.xml" file.


Now your SimPatch module is installed and you should have a working weather radar.

Isak

Today I made an approach to ESSA. On the Waypoint there was a constraint 4000 ft and 160 kts.
I set the Flaps to full. The plane reduce the speed, but to low. At 120 kts I set the THR to TOGA to avoid a stall but the thrust goes max to 65%. In addition I put the nose down to rise the speed. Don't know what happened here.

Some issues I have concerning with the sioc creator. All these are minor bugs.

I have assigned the 3 IR mode selectors in the sioc creator.
Selector IR3 works normal. IR1 and IR2 I have to switch from OFF to NAV twice to
start the alignment.

I set the seatbelt sign switch to auto. If the plane lifts, the seatbelt sign goes automatically off.
I have assumed that it goes automatically off about 18,000 feet?

Too bad it is not yet possible to add "invert" for an assingment in the sioc creator.
I made some mistakes with wiring some switches. There are on when there should be off.
Tried to fix this with my own sioc code but not very succesfull.

The new Version is a futher little step to make FMGS more realistic. :-)

Hi Fritz,

I have had couple of times pretty same kind of problem and... Check that your engines anti ice is on (and of course the weather conditions). ;)

Then, some questions and "bug" reports:

- I have a problem with brake gauge (have been with every version of FMGS): When the systems are running (engines off) and there is brake pressure if I push either side brake pedal the brake gauges move like it should. Also when I turn handbrake on and off the brake levers move at the gauge. But when the engines are running it doesn't work anymore. When I press brakes the gauges doesn't move anymore. Only when I turn handbrake on/off it works. But if I turn antiskid off, then the gauge works, but if the antiskid is on, only handbrake moves the gauges. Is this normal, or what (usually the pilots does the brake test when they are starting taxiing, I can't...)? :(

- Then I think at the real A320, when you turn the aerial pressure to standard it should also automatically change the ISIS air pressure to 1013? Is it like this or not?

- When A320 lands it should turn the trims automatically to zero? Mine doesn't...

- I have also the APU exhaust problem, it turns to zero degrees

- When I turn the systems on, the LDG ELEV is always at manual at ecam. I have to turn the LDG ELEV knob from auto to manual and then back to auto. Then it disappears from the display

JL, or anyone, comments and help? :)

And JL, thanks for the new upgrade, now the OXY light is off and also got some help about the sidestick APP button, I had to make a release button for it as well. :)

What TQ do you use? Mine is a Skalarki TQ 2012. Mostly it trims back to zero when landing but sometimes not. Haven not reconginzed a pattern.

Hi Fritz,

I am using Skalarki TQ 2016. I have made some more research and when I land the FCTL page in ecam also shows that trim is somewhere else than zero. For example my last landing the trim stayed at UP1.6 at FCTL display. So, it doesn't go to zero. At anytime... :(

The LDG ELEV is working now. Only thing what I have to do is always when I turn on the electricity to the plane I have to turn the knob from auto to manual and then back to auto. Then the LDG ELEV MAN goes out from ECAM. I am using Skalarki OVHD 2016 (P&P 2015).

Thank's JL for the answer about triple gauge, so it is working just at it is supposed to. :)

Do anyone have right FCOM prosedure about the ISIS? Should it go automatically to 1013 Hpa when you switch the aerial pressure to standard at FCU?

Usually when the pushback is completed, engines are running and pilots are starting to taxi, how they test the brakes? Do they turn the antiskid off and then push the brakes and see the pressure for both sides from the triple gauge or do they just brake when the plane is moving and feel that the plane is decelerating?

-=Tuomas=-

jeehell
04-16-2017, 01:37 PM
Hi

I don't really have time to teach how to fly the aircraft... Everything is described in the FCOM and other documents.
ISIS is of course a separate instrument, otherwise it would be useless as a standby instrument. It has its own controls...
For brake tests, obviously brakes work when the aircraft slows down.... And the fact the needle dont move means the green system works as normal supply. That's all there is to it.

Now some new miracle: since updating to B47 (B47.0) it happens randomly, that the route is not displayed on the ND.
As always, I enter the flightplan, while IRS is aligning. Now when the alignment is finished, the red message on the ND disappears and just shows the plane and the runway. But no route!

Since I only had this effect two-three times the last days I wonder, if this has to do with the update, or if I am the one, maybe missing something? What could cause the ND not to show the programmed route?

Thanks,

I have the same problem randomly, the only way to see the route on the ND is to close the FMGS on the client and start it again. (I have all the displays on one client)

Hi!


I'm having an issue after I updated the Nav Data to 1704 with Navigraph.


Both MCDU are displaying the correct cycle and all data looks to be correct. However, after loading the route, and when trying to insert a different route, the ND wouldn't display the new route but the one I first inserted. The MCDU's flight plan page looks OK but the ND is stuck with the first route inserted. The same thing if I request a Direct To or a Radial In.


I updated the Navdata twice.


Please help!

Nothing to do with navdata. You have a frozen ND or issue with networking it seems.

Hello All,

I have a big Problem with my FMGS.
On all Airports the Glide Slop is not in the middle of the Runway.
I'm using the last AIRAC from Navigraph 170401.
All files in the Navdata Folder are present.
I have deleted the *.BIN Files and have created new Files, but nothing solves the Problem.

FMGS Server runs on a dedicated Server. The FSX Computer has only the Sound Modul.
Two Computers are for CPT and FO Side with PFD, ND and MCDU.
The Navdata on both Computers are present.

In the Picture is the PFD and the Aircraft on Runway 26R in EDDM

http://www.mycockpit.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=12270&stc=1

I hope anybody can help.
I don't know, if it is possible that the AIRAC causes this Problem.

For testing I disable all scenerys, but on the default Airports I have the same Problem.

Regards Dieter

Hi spiliot,

it is no only in EDDM! All Airports in FSX.
But I'm shure it is the AIRAC from Naviraph.

I found in a Backup AIRAC 1607 from Aerosoft, now it works correct.

Jean Luc,
are there differnce between Aerosoft or Navigraph?

Hi Jean Luc,

Ok, I have tested both Navdata. As I describe, if I use the Navdata from Navigraph the ILS on all Airports are wrong. Any meters left or right from the Center. If I use the Navdata from Aerosoft all ILS on the center of the runway.

I think, the source data of both (Navigraph or Aerosoft) are the same?
If I delete the *.BIN files and the files in NAV1 and NAV2 folder and create new one, is there a difference in the process of creating the Navdata files?

I can't determine what is the problem with AIRAC 1704 from Navigraph?
And I think, I'm not the only one he use the Navigraph AIRACs.

I hope you can help.

The vpilot documentation should key you in:

http://vpilot.metacraft.com/Documentation.aspx#networking
Running vPilot Over a NetworkvPilot can be run on a remote machine in your network, separate from the machine running the flight simulator, provided you have the correct version of SimConnect installed on the vPilot computer, and you have configured the SimConnect.cfg file correctly.
vPilot requires SimConnect version 10.0.61259.0, which is the version that is included with the SP2 or Acceleration SDK. The installer can be found in the following folder:
<SDK INSTALL FOLDER>\SDK\Core Utilities Kit\SimConnect SDK\lib\SimConnect.msi
You can also download the SimConnect client installer here (http://vpilot.metacraft.com/Assets/Files/SimConnect.msi).
For instructions on configuring SimConnect in a network setting, please consult one of the many guides found online.
In order to get smooth movement of aircraft when running vPilot on a remote machine, you will need to run the vPilot TrafficProxy program on the machine that is running FSX. You'll see a shortcut to run the TrafficProxy in the vPilot folder in the programs list on the start menu. The TrafficProxy can be run on the FSX machine either before or after vPilot is started on the remote machine.
Note that you must install vPilot on both the remote machine and the FSX machine. On the remote machine, you will run the main vPilot program. On the FSX machine, you will run the TrafficProxy program. The two systems must have the same version of vPilot installed.
The TrafficProxy also allows you to configure a keyboard key or joystick/yoke button on the FSX machine to be used as your Push-To-Talk (PTT) button. The TrafficProxy will watch for the button/key press and send it to vPilot via SimConnect. To configure a PTT button this way, press CTRL-S while the TrafficProxy window is active. You will see a Settings screen with options to configure a PTT button. The configuration works exactly the same as within vPilot itself.

I don't insist to say that my problem is due to the change of navdata source. I've noticed this kind of LOC offset (30 m) in EDDK just after having changed from Aerosoft to Navigraph. I agree that this might be a pure accident without any correlation. But how are these LOC offsets caused?
The AFCAD file is correct so far. If you can exclude a navdata problem it must probably be a scenery issue.

Regards
René

jeehell
05-04-2017, 11:47 AM
The AFCAD file for instance may not be accessible if P3D runs at the same time, depending on many factors (P3D running as admin, installed in a protected windows folder, etc).
Also, if in latest cycle EDDK runways or ILS changed (because of mgnetic variation), then you can have many issues.

Make sure you have applied Hervé Sors ILS fix (not the mag var one, but the navaid ILS one).
Make sure you have used admin rigths when creating the navdata (go to FMGS Server folder and run only the FMGS server using right click -> admin rights).
Make sure you have closed down P3D/FSX when creating the navdata.

Just tested, it really seems to be a Navigraph problem - at least on my PC. I reinstalled my Aerosoft NavData cycle 1703. In EDDK and EDDM where I noticed two large offsets (nearly one dot) the LOC is correct now. But I don't know if I had the same result with Aerosoft's cyle 1705! I am going to buy this single cycle and will see.

I could fix this problem. Als JH correctly said it's not a Navigraph vs Aerosoft navdata issue!

Check the correct scenery path in Navdata/FSScenery.cfg. I don't know which program has changed my formerly correct FSX path into a P3D path. I've never installed P3D!

I don't know either why the .bin files accepted the Aerosoft's NavData with a wrong scenery path but not Navigraph's Navdata. Anyway, ILS / LOC works again.

Hi Asessa, Hi JH,

@Asessa: Thx for your reply. Yes itīs connected to a USB-Hub but with a external PSU. After some CTGīs in the lasttime i reinstalled the Servermachine these days and since this it seems to work.

@ Jeehell and Somebody who has WX-Radar-Problems: As you read above i made an clean install of the Servermachine (Windows, ASN, P3D, FMGS etc.) After these i start my P3D 3.4 with bad weather, but there was no WX-Radar. Network seems to be fine and all was installed as usual. After one day of problem search i find the issue why the WX Radar doesnīt work. The SimPatcher.dll was not added into the dll.xml of P3D.
So donīt know what directly failed but after manually inserting, the WX-Radar works again. Maybe there is a small fault in the installation routine?!

Hello,

I am trying to trigger ECAM functions on the FMGS computer using a keyboard attached to the Visual Generator (P3D) computer.

1. Should I be using the "Offset Word Set" function in FSUIPC to trigger the function, or "Offset Byte Set"? I can see on the Jeehell FMGS document bytes are used.

2. On the visual computer is it mandatory to install 'FSUIPC support'? Regardless, after install I do not see the fsuipc dll file in hardware modules.

3. To trigger the FSUIPC function on the remote (server) computer, is it required to use wideserver/wideclient?

Thank you,

Ben

OmniAtlas
05-12-2017, 10:55 PM
Okay, after much hacking around I think I figured it out --

Wideserver/wideclient is required -- they must startup before FMGS.

Offset Byte Set should be used.

Offset values must be set with the 'x' prefix, e.g. 'x78ED'

Parameter values on the other hand do not have the x prefix, so for F/CTL ECAM I would type in '14' for parameter (push button pressed), and '72' for release, confirm in the dialog box.
