Hi All,
the latest installation package: http://www.jeehell.org/A320FMGS_B31.4.exe
I had issues with Avast antivirus, it detected the AP.FBW.exe file as a virus. This is obviously a false positive, but take care while installing not to quarantaine it.
I'll upload an autoupdate later.
Regards,
JL

hi Omniatlas
the TOGA mode does not arm the autothrust, ATHR is active from FLEX/MCT to IDLE so you need to move your levers to climb or mct to get ATHR active.
also can you please clarify when you mention " - prior to Vrotate managed mode is configured (speed, heading and altitude). I am in climb mode. " if you are in heading you should be in OPEN climb mode instead of climb mode. Managed modes are engaged when lateral navigation is complete and tehere are not discontinuities, or you have heading in green and Nav in blue.
regards

Hi adomonismartinez -- it activates fine now -- it was a emulated joystick config problem :) For some reason I must not have been completely in TOGA/FLEX mode because of the joystick margin error.
Hi JL -- is it okay just to do an autoupdate if we have B31.3 or should we do a clean install (uninstall previous version then reinstall 31.4)?Quote:

Hey Jeehell, after updating to Version 31.4 there is no connection to the modules which are installed on networking pc. any idea why? Firewall are all off...
Only modules could connect which are on the server PC

I'll inform fscockpit about this issue so Tomasz may change the simple annunciator by a pushbutton.

Hi,
@OmniAtlas: yes this is all fine for me, put the name you want ;)
You should only have to do an autoupdate.
@SimStar: how did you update?
Do you have wideFMGSserver and clients running?

Hi everyone
Every now and then, I get the following message some seconds after engine start:
F/CTL DIRECT LAW
(PROT LOST)
-MAN PITCH TRIM....USE
This behaviour I have since ever. So it has nothing to do with B31.4. Has anyone an idea how I can prevent this? Start-up of SW and checklist is always the same.
Following is my configuration:
Main PC: FSX, FSUIPC (w/WideServer), FMGS server, AP/FBW, FSUIPC connect, FMGS_navdata, sound module, hardware connect (Joysticks, FCU CPFlight)
CPT PC: PFD, ND, CPT MCDU
EWD PC: E/WD, SD, STBY, WideClient FS, interfaceIT (overhead hardware)
FO PC: OVHD logic, FO MCDU
Note: I'm using interfaceIT for overhead hardware rather than the FMGS Hardware Connect so I can assign actions when switch is on and onother when switch is off. This saves me some number of inputs.
cu, Adrian
HI Adrian,
i got same behaviour from time to time. When message is active i reset all ELACs and FCTLs with switching off and on, then the message disappears. So one of the Flightcontrolcomputers failed . But how it comes to this message, i dont know, maybe too much delay, when internal logic switches from APU-power to gen-power? The last times i start with groundpower connected (I know not realistic, but for testing more comfortable), i didnt got this situation.
Regards Henrik
Hi
the message, F/CTL DIRECT LAW (PROT LOST),can mean several things.
According to fcom the system affected comes underlined, also when you lost protection you are in alternate law or direct law (when you lower the landing gear) and both are caused by a double failure.
Since flight controls seems affectd It might be, either
Hydraulics , both green and yellow systems not presurized and PTU in off position,
or
Flight computer FACs, SECs and ELACs off.
Make sure you complete the "All white lights" .. extingish in the overhead panel, which means to turn ON everything that is already OFF.
best regards
Adonis
You are welcome,
Aww something I forgot, the autoland button lights when you are reaching minimun in cat II approach and you disconnect autopilot very close to the authorized minimum altitude or when plane degrades the CAT Three dual capability...
Regards
Adonis
PD the proof of truth :-)

Adrian,
The recommended method for FDS boards is with my jeeheell_IIT module (which actually uses interfaceIT). If you really wish to use any other means, you have to make sure your implementation is correct. You'll have to check the OVHD software to see if you have any HYD or other systems OFF.

Bouncing airplane bug?
Fuel in the center tank is empty - aircraft bounces immediately on injection of new fuel and weight balance. I can't trim because the aircraft keeps on bouncing and resetting the trim wheel value.
Again using TOPCAT to export the weight and balance --

P3D bug?
Very good, those are the ones we sign on plane before leaving ! :lol:
Now dependeing on conditions you have the v1, Vr and v2 speeds, also the flex mct value in celsius degrees. The performance charts vary depending on airfield elevation, runway lenght, field temperature, qnh and tower reported wind.
Attached please find a standard runways analisys chart from Airbus for a 489 ft elevation 3000 meters runway.
To get speeds, firts locate weight on left column, then check your flap settings, Conf 1 or 2, finally match it with runway wind.
example: tow weight 64 tons, flaps 2 and 10 kts tailwind
Speeds v1 / vr / v2
142 / 143 / 145. Flex 56
now you know what to write in the perfomance take off page
Regards
Adonis
Hi OmniAtlas,
Which version P3D do you use? V2?
I do not use Topcat. I always do my loading through FSX/P3D (V1.4) menus. I never had the aircraft bounce for more than a couple seconds?
JL
Hi JL
Should we forget the before NavDataPro saved Pilots Routes?
Regards
Hi
For now yes.
regards,
JL
Thank you Adonis -- I also use TOPCAT which I believe this is where they derive their data from :)Quote:

JL
Adonis -- does the aircraft autotrim after you insert V1, Vr, and V2 into the mcdu? My trim values are still at 0 just before I takeoff and all MCDU data is entered.Quote:

Hi,
Yes I've seen that bug in last version, trying to fix it.
There are "no failures" in the sense you cannot trigger them, but there are some ECAM warnings which do come up when some systems are shut down for example. Also, in the case of AP, the bug comes if you disconnect the AP through the FCU (instead of instinctive disconnect button on stick), or by moving the stick/rudder.
JL
I use P3Dv2 and Topcat.Quote:

Thanks JL, it happens for me when I retract the flaps too early shortly after takeoff (speed restraints) -- AP shuts off and I can't reclick on them.Quote:

The difference is huge. Compare these aircraft cfg file...Quote:

Thanks, JL. The reason I'm not using jeeheell_IIT modul is because I cannot assign an action when going to 'on' and an action (same or different) when going to 'off'. May be I used the wrong switches in my Overhead panel. Because the korry switches stay 'on' when pressed and go to 'off' when pressed again. And for simple switches (e.g. Beacon on/off) I only use one input for 'on'. Or maybe I don't fully understand the jeeheell_IIT module configuration. Can you tell me how to configure correct? Thanks.Quote:

@Adrian:
1) For toggle switches (i.e. like the beacon ON/OFF), you only need one input wired to the ON position. And you assign the ON action only (i.e. API_SW_BEACON_ON). I put the OFF action as well as the list is shared for all the hardware modules, and some hardware do not have ON/OFF detection on a single input.
2) Korry switches: the real ACFT uses both ON/OFF (not momentary) switches and MON/OFF ones (momentary).
-You can use yourself both types in your cockpit. In both case, you assign the action to the (M)ON position, and the software will (if necessary) detect the OFF position.
-For the ON/OFF switches of the real ACFT: if you chose to use MON/OFF, you need to select the "toggle action" option instead of the "separate press/release actions" option.
In any case, all korry and ON/OFF toggle switches only need one input on you I/O board.
Some of the 3 positions toggle need an extra input (like LDG lights). And the rotary switches need as many inputs as positions.
Regards,
JL
By the way Adrian, is your OVHD soft on a remote PC? And the EWD?
JL
Hi JLQuote:

Yes, the OVHD and EWD are on different remote PC's.

Changing the configuration to 'Project Airbus' in TOPCAT works. No more bouncing aircrafts!Quote:

I would normally expect the engines go into IDLE and the A/C trying to keep the speed by adjusting the pitch. When I do this at FL300, the engines are not going to IDLE, just slowing a bit down. During descent it is slowing a bit more down the engines, the more I descent the more slowing down the engine settings. Only at around FL240 the engines go into IDLE completely.
Is this how it is in real life? I actually don't know, so maybe it's all like it should be...
Thanks

Quick query -- shouldn't your QNH be at the correct value (what you entered in the MCDU) when approaching? When I switch from STD -> QNH it is the same value when I departed.
