And when I want to write the Heading there, it is set into ALT and so go on.
I've tested it several times in the B27 and it's working as written in the Manual.
Is there another FSUIPC-table for B28? Any ideas?

Hello,

i confirm this bug...can't set SPEED with B28!

Hi,

I just found the bug, I will try to make an update in the evening.


@Rob: in the real ACFT, the FD will try to get you back on the planned route (green line) as soon as possible. I will add that feature later (not a trivial thing).

Best regards,
JL

I also found a bug regarding the CAT3 thing. I do not know when it was introduced, maybe just before I released B28 vesions, and I haven't noticed the bug on any of my approaches since then...

JL

Hi all,

There is an update available through the automatic updater.
You can also download the full installation package, which is up to date with the latest updates.

Thanks, JL. CAT3 is back alive :) Great.
A little bug regarding MasterWarning: in cause you have two MWs at the same time and you hit the MW button, the red flashing stops but the bell continues for the second MW. I assume you should "accept" both MWs with one push of the MW button and the bell should be off after the first hit of the MW PButton. Examlple: set TO power with SPD brake not retracted and flaps not in TO config.

@ Stefan: Thanks for your offered help!The last update just solved the issue :)

Rob

Hi Rob,

I need to both look again at the real logic and the logic implemented...
I'll keep you posted.

Hi JL,

I just uploaded a short video with some bugs. I made the video yesterday evening with latest 28.4.

here is the link:

JL28.4 some bugs - YouTube

Cheers,
Rob

JL, I forgot something -> Remember our discussion about max bank limits and its dynamic??? Look what I found this weekend:

ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting
ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting

So the bank limit is a simple ramp function of true air speed plus the dependency of managed or selected heading mode. Hope that helps :)
Rob

Hi Rob,

Thanks for both the pictures and the video. I will look at all that.
This roll limit looks easy to add. I will try to do it soon.

Cheers,
JL

You are welcome. I have another tiny hint for you regarding the LOC capture bug. I just noticed something in the my bug video. Go to 2:30 min. You see that the ACFT is approaching the waypoint (5 miles away from the runway). When the FMGS clears this waypoint, you see a small & quick heading correction on the PFD. At that time I fast forwarded the vid. However, that means at that point the FMGS still follows the waypoints and NOT the localizer.

Rob

Hi JL!

Coming back to my problem with Sound-Module (Post #352)......

After complete new installation of B28.4 the problem is still there -> no sounds.
But then I tried to start the Sound-Module on the server and this works. Conclusion is, the Sound-Module doesn't work when running on client. It connects from the client to server but does not play any sound, at least in my setup.:(

I would like to run the Sound-Module on a different PC to play these sounds on seperate speakers.

FYI: All 4 PCs I'm using have the same hardware config except the server, it has a more performant graphic card.

hello Christian,

I'll have a look at this issue next week. I'll keep you posted.

JL

Hi JL,

Is there an option for creating a fix in the flight plan. I.e. a VOR FIX at a given radial and distance? if so how to enter these? and what about VOR ARCs with a defined radius?

Cheers,
Rob

Hi Rob,

you can create PBD points (Place Bearing Distance). ex: AZR/250/15 creates a point in the 250º for 25Nm of AZR VOR.
You can also create a PB-PB point ex:AZR/350-CGS/040 creates a point at the intersction of the two VoR radials.

This works also with fixes and NDBs.

However, VOR arcs cannot be created by the pilots,as in the real aircraft. They are part of the navdata. I'm still working on navdata to get a better system, but this takes time.

Cheers,
JL

Hi JL,
I have downloaded the version 28.4 and there is missing the client WideFMGS.exe. Did you forget to implement in the Version 28.4
greeting

Hi,

Are you sure about that?? I've just tried and it was correctly installed??

JL

Hi JL,
sorry i just downloaded and reinstalled the missing FMGS.exe.
What am I doing wrong
greeting

The WideFMGS client is installed on computer where the SERVER option is NOT selected during installation.

Thank you very much
is this new in the Version....
have a nice day

Hi JL

i have a problem with Ecam . When Pressing STS in normal situation will display the screen but when there is a fault pressing sts will flash the screen for a second and returns to the previous one. Using Fscockpit .

Thank you

Hi JL,

regarding the recently mentioned flashing SD issue: I can confirm this bug. But I didnt check with 28.4. However, this bug rings some bells (even with the latest versions). When you have a fault the SD seems to keep switching between two pages... creating these flashes. If you want we can check with 28.4. savin you some work :)

JL, I know there is a bunch of coding & debugging work BUT... :)
any chance to add the INTERCEPT symbole for the vertical profile during decent as described in the attachment?

Attachment 7621

Drop me an email or PM if you need further support!
THANKS!!!
Rob

@ sound master Daniele: is there any update of your sweet soundset planned? At least for the callouts?? :) Thank you as well for the nice work.

Hi,

If you could confirm the SD flashing thingsd I'dappreciate.

Regarding VNAV profile intercept symbol, this is non trivial, and the VNAV itself is not yet accurate enough.
It will be in some months at least...

JL

Got it. :) I will let you know when I've managed to recreate the SD-flashing issue.

Ah... one more: when you do an VOR-APP and you press press the APP on the FCU... the ILS on PFD flashes in 28.4. The question is ...do you push the FCU APP during a VOR-APP or shoudnt the PDF "ILS" text flash in 28.4???
Thanks JL!

Rob

Hi,

I would like To download software 'A320 fmgs', but when using link on page 1 I receive an error mentioning that requested url is not found.

can someone please advise if it's still possible to download this software?
many thanks in advance!

nice weekend, Jeroen

Hi,

The URL has been corrected.

JL

Many thanks, the link works :D

Hi JL,

I just installed a brabd new System and wonder if I can take the joystick calibration file from my old system, but I don't know the file name and the path where it is saved....

best regards

Stefan

Hi,

No you probably cannot copy that, it is VERY likely windows will change the joystick configuration.
However you can try to copy the files and change the config afterwards if it fails.
The files needed are located inside FMGS Server and are called:
AControls.cfg
JoySW.cfg

JL

Hi all,

with the lastest update on b28.4 I have seen that the slideslip index in the attitude indicator is "wandering around" from center to left, to right, back again etc.

This is happening on both PFDs simultaneously. Has anyone the same problem?

Thanks
Stefan

Hi,

Try temporarily to turn ON the autocoordination function in FS. I will work on AP/FBW to correct that behaviour.

JL

Hello,
it´s just an idea, but maybe I´m notthe only one running your great program without much additionalhardware (at the moment) so :
Would it take great effort to make someadditional „programs“ connecting to fmgs server like brake selecor panel or ECAM panel tobe used with a touchscreen (the same way your overhead panel or fcuworks) ?
Best wishes Toulouse

Hi,

Well this is actually quite some work to add those, and to maintain them throughout the future versions...
I'll see what can be done, but this is really is not a priority for the development.

Bet regards,
JL

Hi JL,

where can I find this function in FS? I have the German version and cannot find anything in the options which is looking like autocoordination. I am using FS9.

Thanks
Stefan

look in realism settings, bottom right, flight controls -> auto-rudder.

JL

Hi JL,

is there any rule when the label "ILS APP" should appear on the top of the ND? I have the impression that it's often missing when it should be there, but it might also be a user error :)

Thanks
Stefan

Hi,

This label is not working properly, I have to correct that one day...

Regards,
JL

Hi Jean Luc,
I have just finished connecting the fire panel but can not find the variables in the manual. I need because I used the new card opencockpits that uses the outputs display and I can not use your SIOC creator but I have to write the code directly. please can you send me the list of variables?
Thank you so much for your great work ...at the fair the simulator worked very well with version 25.2!! Now I want to install version 28.4
Thank you very mach for everything

Best regards

Umberto

Thanks, that helped.

Another one: since B28 I cannot start the ND clock on FO side (button on glare wing) any more. I am working with Skalarki's Glare + pedestal I/O and heard in his forum that this obviously is a problem of JL B28. In B27 it was working.

Thanks
Stefan
