Hi JL,
how do I open the doors and cargo doors? When using the FSX keys the DOOR/OXY Display does not show the Status open.
Regards
Stefan
Hi
@Antonio: I will add that
@Stefan: the door page does not show the FS door status unfortunately...
Regards,
JL
Yes, and i tested a small flight yesterday so the distance was smaller than 250nmQuote:

Hi Beret,
Sorry I do not understand what you mean here? ill' wait for the pics...

hi jl,
my name is filippo from rome, italy.
i'm not in the "airbus family" ...not yet at least :-)
i actually own a 737 ng dual seat trainer built by myself and running smoothly.
i was just evaluating a possible switching in the future to the 320.
your piece of software looks promising and the airbus community should thank u for the years coming!
i just made a quick install of your suite today just to give it a quick try...of course i have no airbus hardware connected.
my setup uses 2 pcs: server pc where fs (p3d) runs as long as fmgs server+ap/fbw+fcu+overhead+mcdu and 1 client pc where i tried to run cpt pfd&nd+fo pfd&nd+ewd+sd....
having troubles on client pc since fo pfd doesn't start even if selected in the starter.ini....fo nd keeps being black...and the cpt pfd reacts VERY slowly with big lags and delays.
may all this depend on too many displays on 1 pc?
hope not to have posted in the wrong section. :-)
all the best
filippo
Thanks for the new update! :) Tried it out tonight so here are some feedback. (Mostly minor things)
1. I can confirm this for B30 at our setup. The TO INHIBIT remains on after 1st T/O and never goes out.Quote:

The following were apparent also in earlier versions.
3. After a light test the FDS FCU goes black, until you press reset in hardware connect.
4. The FDS radios are reversed, the inner (big) knob is decimals and outer (small) the first digits.
5. Quite often on SIDs the ND draws the route as if we were flying in the opposite direction (with a 180 degree turn), but still flies the correct route (direct). Also the magenta "speed restriction" dot and TOC still remains on the actual route (not on the green line). Sometimes also a 360 loop over waypoints.
6. Two times (at least once when loading a CORTE) the whole route on the ND was in cyan. (As for the missed approach procedure)
7. With B30 I still only gets CAT I with dual APs. (Ovhd on client computer).
8. In B29 I noticed that if the ND was in plan mode as you entered a STAR the ND crashed almost every time as you where in the TMPY FPLN mode.
Overall the suite works very well :D. This weekend we flew several longer legs in one session without any problem at all with B29.
Regards
Marcus
Hello Filippo,
What are the specs of your client PC? NDs are very CPU intensive, so it is possible that they eat up all your CPU. For such a setup (with all displays on 1 computer) I think a quad core is necessary, or at least a very good dual core.
Also, up to date video drivers may do some good.
Best regards,
JL
Hello Marcus,
I will look at all these bugs for next main release (except the TO inhibit one which will be patched soon I hope).
JL
TO inhibit should be corrected with latest automatic update.
Regards,
JL

When i at home i make some pics of his.
Regards Beret
hi jl,
thanks for your answer: the client pc has a intel core2 duo E8500 cpu 3.16 ghz....it is actually driving all the displays of the 737 both cpt& fo plus both eicas....of course comparison can't be made.
i was just wondering if i was going in the right direction or if all displays on 1 pc couldn't be setup for some technical reason.
i'll made a test today only with cpt side
thanks again

Is it possible to fix this or is it a feature :-) In previous versions (<29 I think) I did not have this problem.
Thanks
Stefan
Hi
@Beret: I need to know the messages you get. Waiting for your pics when you have time.
@Filippo: to see if the problem comes from your CPU, run the task manager and see how many % of CPU usage the various software take. My software is probably much more demanding than most other external software. But drawing an accurate ND is really not an easy task...
@Stefan: I did only change the TA/RA threshold computation, nothing else. Do you use FS9 or FSX? also, ND on a remote computer or local computer?
Regards
JL
I am using FS9, ND is on remote computer.Quote:

Ok thanks I understand now your issue. I will look at it . DO you also run the OVHD on a remote computer? or is it on the FS computer?
Regards,
JL
Hi JL
The OVHD run on the FS computer.
Regards Beret
hi again JL,just made the test and also running only cpt pfd, cpt nd, ewd and sd the pfd keeps having lags and stutters...pretty impossible to fly.
of course the issue is on my side...unfortunately i couldn't open task manager to check the cpu load...anyway i suppose my pc should be able to run smoothly cpt side + ewd + sd...what u think?
the OS of this remote computer is a stone age old win XP....32 bit...never gave me problem so i've been lazy and never upgraded that one to win7 64.
i spent time optimizing FS pc :-)
do u think the OS could create the issue?
thanks a lot

Hi JL, in this time i'm in flight, after 10 mins to takeoff i still have TO INIBHIT and the A.FLOOR when climb :(

3. I also noticed that the autothrust has become a bit nervous again on CRZ LVL. The N1 is going up and down always between 80 and 83%.
4. TCAS is giving me lots of warnings now, even when traffic is more than 8000 feet above or below. Is that like in real life?
Thanks
Stefan
hi again JL,
i re-read the manual about installation instructions to be sure i did everything in the correct way...could u pls confirm my setup is correct?
FS PC (server): fmgs server, ap/fbw, hardware connect, fsx connect, fsuipc connect (maybe this is not needed? read somewhere u use simconnect now), ovhd, fcu, mcdu...of course i'm talking about only your software modules, i've no hardware at this stage (only a joy and a throttle to make the tests)
REMOTE PC: pfd, nd, ewd, sd. (am i missing something here? ...i did NOT install fmgs server here)
i'm pretty sure i did something wrong somewhere in the installation and missing something.

Hi guys, hi JL, this is a report of my flight :
1. After takeoff the "T.O. INHIBIT" message remain till to land.
2. If i program at start an ILS approach, the "ILS APP" message was displayed from the takeoff (but it should be display only 250nm before land)
3. During climb i have many "A.FLOOR" message and the speed decrease. I had to stop climb at 290 (i programmed 330).
Can this situation be influenced by weather engine? (i use REX 2.0)
4. During approach when i disengaged AP the nose went up
5. Dus dimmers of CockpitSonic Ecam panel doesn't work (i report also in relative topic)
I updated B30 to last version yesterday before fly.
Regards
Antonio
hi antonio...we catch each other here as well as on Volovirtuale forum :-)
i don't want to answer for JL of course...but as a standard rule when testing autopilot auto throttle behaviour the best is to check them with no weather engine at the beginning...just to be sure everything is working properly with no wind/turbulence interfering...
just my 2 cents
filippi
Hi Filippo, yes i know it.Quote:

Hi all,
there was an issue with previous auto update. Please try again...
I will be away for the weekend, I'll look at the other issues when I'm back.
Best regards,
JL
Thank you JL and have a good vacation
hi jl,
just for info (take a good rest in the weekend) i made another test today and the remote pc has a 90-95% cpu load!!!! just pfd, nd, ewd and sd...something must be wrong on that side in my installation...don't this those 4 displays take so many resources...don't u think so???
even if the comparison can't be made my actual 737 setup with all 6 displays (cpt+fo) side has a cpu load of 5-7%!!!!
what could i have installed wrong?
again...have a good weekend!
filippo

hi,
to add something about my strange cpu load on client:
tested running all the displays the cpu load is nearly 1%...after this running fmgs server on server pc the cpu load of the client (of course) keeps at 1%....as soon as i start FS (p3d) on server pc the cpu load of the client jumps to 99% even if the displays are still black (aircraft cold and dark)...i crosschecked the widefmgs on client pc and it lists a lot of DISCONNECTED with port numbers afterwards. the fmgs server on server pc shows all the modules connected in green.
my problems is of course connection related...i'll investigate a bit this morning...will start trying to make a clean installation of FMGS in fs pc not installing this time fsuipc connect.
any idea on what to check much appreciated.
regards
fil
Hello.
First of all, I want to thank you for this gorgeous software. Just unbelieveable!
And then I wanted to ask you a question or a requirement:
Would it be possible setup the Throttle in order to hear some kind of "click" sound at every detent throttle position?
Is it now possible?
Another again, thanks for this wonderful piece of cake!
Greetings.
Hi
@Filippo: try to not launch the ND, this is the one which is the most concuming.
@Papelin: Sorry I will not add that kind of sounds. I only produce the "software" sounds not the "hardware" ones.
Regards,
JL
Thanks a lot.I Understand it and apreciate your fast answer and your interest and dedication.Quote:

Hi JL,
I have some issues regarding switches and LED control on the overhead panel:
1. The ANTI ICE WING korry always is on when starting the FMGS server. When switching it off it always Switches automatically on when switching the wing light on. Is that a normal status?
2. ANTI ICE for ENG 2: The ON LED is not working. ENG 1 is fine. I tested it and when using the IO Profiler the LED is working fine, even when Setting up the Output in the profiler and choosing the LED from the Output ID it is illuminating.
3. I am missing the MAN START korry setting for ENG 2, for ENG 1 I can choose that on the IO profiler from Macin.
4. Bat 1 and Bat 2 are not decreasing when using the batteries only.
5. The APU Agent DISCH LED on the Fire Panel is switched (On is Off and Off is On :-) )
6. When having the Airbus dark and cold at the gate, I need always have the flaps in TO config, when leaving the lever at zero position the warning sound comes up. Is that like in the real Airbus?
One question to the sounds which came with the installation, do I have to configure them, so that I can hear for example the APU starting?
I am using FDS over head panel and Skarlarki IO boards/WIN7 64 Bit and FSX.
Again, great job JL it is an fantastic software and support.
Thanks for that.
Regards
Stefan
Hi Stefan,
Please for all I/O issues concerning Skalarki's boards, contact Marcin first. If he finds out that is a bug in my software, he'll contact me and we'll see together what to do.
As for issues n°4 and 6, I'll look at it.
Concerning the sounds, I do not provide environment sounds (engines, APU, etc...). However, Daniele "Immaging" has made some sounds for the A320:

hi jl,
hope u had a good weekend :-)
made another test after clean installation on the server side: now i get the 4 ports connected on widefmgs...but cpu load always @99% when launching p3d...i tried to close the pfd and tadaaaa the cpu load dropped to 30%....so the problem seems to be the pfd....but may this all p3d related? i don't think so because it uses simconnect as fsx does.
i'll give a try with fs9
...may some services of windows use the same ports fmgs uses? pls note my 2 cockpit computer does NOT have any antivirus program and firewall disabled on both.
this is driving me crazy...i'm sure it's not your software being cpu hungry but something wrong on my config/network...any idea is of course welcome!
bye for now

HI JL,
Just tried your new patch for the TO inhibit. That one is solved. Nice.
some feedback to lasted version:
#1 When you turn off all FLTCTRLs ELACs, SECS etc... the AUTOBRK is listed as INOP... but its still working. When listed due to Hydraulic issue the Autobrk does not work (which is correct). BTW Can you decrease the flap extension speed with low hydraulic?
#2 It has been mentioned. Vertical seperations >8000ft still trigger "TRAFFIC TRAFFIC"
#3 Sometimes you hear "TRAFFIC TRAFFIC" but there is non on the ND. (Yes, zoomed in)
#4 once I was left of the track, the ND showed a value like "2.7R" next to the ACFT symbol. Dont know how I managed that.
#5 What should the ACFT do when you are in managed and you come to a FPLN DISCONTIN.? Now it just continues with the next waypoint after the DISCO but is that the real deal?
#6 when insert anything in the FPLN you are always on top of the FPLN. So when entering several WPTs you have to scroll alot. Is that the real deal?
#7 Can you add the transition for the FD bars when it activates the next WPT. Now there is a "jump" of the bars. I guess that should be gone when the FD actually brings you back on track, right?!
#8 like the new dynamic rudder travel limiter :)
#9 I will upload another short vid which shows an ILS approach and an autoland. My autoland looks really strange. It flares but also rolls in one direction. Wonder if others experience something similar. The vid also contains some other minor things during approach. Here is the link: Jeehell b30 - YouTube... it will take some more hours to upload though. Guess it will be available tomorrow morning.
Thanks + Regards
Robert
