A320 FMGS B31

Filippo: I do not provide support fir IVAP or squawkbox. It happens that they share the standard FSUIPC offset for mode and code, but FS has no ident feature. I may add that one day, I'll see what I can do...

Hello, I think I figured out why I'm having stability issues. It has to do with CG and fuel -- I wasn't loading it correctly! I was fueling the center tanks first then outer tanks to capacity, instead of the other way around!

From flashcards http://quizlet.com/5053314/a320-fuel-flash-cards/ --
Describe how fuel should be distributed after refueling.

"After refueling, the outer cells should be filled to capacity followed by the inner cells. The center tank should receive fuel after the wing tanks have been filled to capacity which is approx 27500 lbs."

Request -- auto fuel distribution accessible from MCDU please

It flies much better now -- however I still get speed restraints (yellow ticket bar on the PFD) on landing and cannot reduce past 180 knots. Is this related to FOB (sorry not too familiar with airbus systems).

I also do not have the FO EFIS open -- will you run into problems with autoland if you enable autopilot 2 and the FD is not enabled for the FO?

Does anyone know why my flaps do not display their text setting on the EWD (picture attached) and do not show them transitioning in blue? I am using the keyboard (F5-F6) for now.

Jeehell -- whats your paypal address - can I at least buy you a coffee??

Hi Omni,

working with F5/F6 on the keyboard will give you problems. You should assign an axis for the flaps in the JL configuration, otherwise it will not work correctly.

Yep thats right. You need to either use an axis or joystick switches for the flaps increment/decrement. You have to use FMGS config for that (not the FS commands).

As for donating, I do not need money. You can give the amount of money you want to any charity out there on my behalf, I'll feel much more comfortable that way.

Regards,
JL

Thanks JL - setting flaps with the axis works.

What is your charity of choice?

Hi,

FS Flightkeeper has the option to play specific sound based on events happening. One event is "Cabin Signs On" (or Off). I assume the FSFK is using the FS default cabin sign switch event. When I switch the signs on/off in FMGS, FSFK does not notice this. Is there any chance I can make this happen?

Thanks
Stefan

@OmniAtlas:
you're shure with the wight? It doesn't matter, how many fuel is inside the tanks, doesn't it? I got this unstable behavior with 20% in each tank (choosen in FSX) at my Standard Airport round.

[OmniAtlas]

No not a hundred pc sure but for some reason the erratic elevators are gone. What weather program are you using?

[Space]

I am using the normal FSX weather, got these effects also in calm conditions.
