A320 FMGS beta 26

Hello,
The AP disconnects by itself only in case of overspeed, A.FLOOR or if you move the sidestick with too much amplitude.
Is any of this occuring?

JL

Hi JL:

Thanks for your reply....Yes in fact i have an overspeed, and don't ask me why because i don't know yet...The aircraft it's in the Top Off Climb (15000Fts for example) and i have a speed target 280Kts, but for something else the aircraft increase the speed himself too!

Hi Sacramento,

Maybe you should check your throttle lever or lower your CI.

Hi:

Well I think i had find the problem concerning AP disconnect and other's problems that i had with the software, and maybe it was good that i share here the test's that i had made, once i'm a cockpit builder, and the most cockpit builders work with a few computers on the system:
1 - We need to have razonable computers to run PFD/ND, and SWD,SD....my old computers are not enough for run this software!
2 - After a few tests with all computers in the network, i had the best establish, when i put PFD/ND in the best (old) computer i have to run this visuals...
3 - After that i had put Overhead in a old computer, and MCDU in annother old, but razonable computer, and the FCU run in the server.I had discard SWD/SD because i don't have a razonable computer to run!
4 - With this setup, i had make a real, first flight, without much problems.

My conclusion with A320 FMGS is that we need razonable computers to run on network, core 2 Duo are the best for A320FMGS on clients, because this give us a good smooth in the comunications betwen each computer, and the software run very well. If we don't have good PC's for work, then the problems appear, that's because clients can't communicate smooth with all the system!

Some issues that i don't know if it's still causing because the "bad" setup i have:
1 - When establish in the desired Flight Level, the MCDU mark a speed = 323 Knots and in PFD the aircraft show a speed of +/- 330/340 Knots
2 - I have difficult in reduce speed when i start my descent, or better i can't reduce speed, or worse the speed increase with a VS = 1500 fpm, and off course this cause an overspeed and the AP disconnect himself.
3 - The FBW seem unstable in the approach, but much better in take off....annother problem caused by the bad setup???I don't know!

And i think it's all for now...

PS:TOM19, what is CI?

Thanks
Manuel Sacramento

hi sacramento,

Yes indeed core 2 duo are a good minimum choice.
As for your other problems with overspeed, as Tommi said you should try to reduce the CI or cost index. If your CRZ mach is near MMO, it can be a problem.

Cheers,
JL

Hi,

25 is OK. I don't know what's going wrong then...
Maybe you can try to select a lower speed before engaging DES mode, then resume managed speed after the aircraft is in descent...

Hi JL,

I can't update navdata to current AIRAC. I've downloaded latest package from Navigraph and installed it. After that I did run Configure and set the correct file. Files are in they places but on the MCDUs A/C STATUS page active nav data shows 1113, not 1201 as it shoul be.

Tommi

Hello,

The AIRAC date information on the MCDU DATA page is purely eye candy and has to be changed manually. Go to FMGS Server\Navdata folders and modify the CycleData.txt file.

JL

Hi JL,

ok, thanks. As long as nav data is upto date thats good enoughf for me :)

Hi JL:

I try to chance the options for the Antializasing, in PFD and ND, but after chance the slide for right and restart the software, the slide, remain in the left without any change...to you know what's could happen here?

Thanks
