A320 FMGS B40

ben i don't know fds hardware but yes one thing is the backlighting system of the panels (backlighting is available when aircraft is energized and dimmable thru INTEG LT knob on the pedestal) and one separate thing are the green leds of the buttons of the ecam control panel lighting up when button is pressed and corresponding ecam page showed on SD.
pls note that EMERG CANC button is ALWAYS lit in red as the aircraft is energized.
regards
fil

Thanks for clearing that up Fil -- I have an older model FDS ECAM, LEDs are yellow ("warm white"), and not green :)

In the latest FMGS update the LED do not light up even when the page is selected.
The CLR button seems to be the only LED correctly functioning (activated by triggering TO Config when the aircraft is not fully configured for take off).

I'm correcting my previous post... ECAM LEDs works always, but input don't. Only ENG works as ALL. (Cockpitsonic H/W)

Hi JL,
+1
Also affecting AES, which now starts Pushback in spite of Parking Brake (=Brakes) set and does not disconnect the pushback truck when pushback is completed even when the Parking Brake of A320 FMGS is applied.
Since B40 applying Parking Brake shows "Brakes" instead of "Parking Brake set", even Ctrl + . does the same as soon as A320FMGS is running.
Can you do anything to show these tools "Parking Brake set" as before? THX!

Yes, it works now -- I have a similar problem. JL is away on holiday right now, I am sure it will be fixed when he returns.

Hi JL and everybody

I have the same problem with SKALARKI ECAM Panel .

Regards

jerome.

Hallo All,

Same here which is a shame because this week I have a real world A320 pilot (easyJet) checking out my Skalarki cockpit.

Best regards,
