Hi
After today's update my ECAM CP doesn't work even though Hardware monitor says: "EHID connected version 6" and I think reappeared a 1sec lag...
Regards

PS. JL please see my post #258

Hi Leonidas

I do not see why your hardware would no longer work. I do not have any problem with any hardware module.
Does it happen even on a fresh software start?

As for the trim wheels, I do not know what you mean exactly. If you have an hardware throttle quadrant with motorized trim wheels, then I do not drive them. I only change the FS trim setting. What you see on the SD is what should be used by your hardware manufacturer.

Hi,

@OmniAtlas: as I said, YOU MUST calibrate the THRLVR in FMGS Config, even if you use that little DLL (think of that DLL as a virtual joystick, it has markings, but still you need to tell the software where the detents are).

My apologies JL, it's been a hot Australia day and I have misread your instructions. All good now

NB - using the "T" button to test take off config does not work. Everything else arms including flaps with "y".

--

edit reinstalled and for some reason the test for T.O config now works with "t". Strange.

Hi,


@CPFlight FCU users: I had an answer from Paolo. At the time he designed the Glare Wings, he didn't know ithe AUTOLAND annunciator was also a pushbutton. So this is not possible to support this feature, as there is no physical switch in the panel...


JL

The fscockpit.eu Glare Wings have no AUTOLAND korrey either! It's only an annuciator.
So AUTOLAND as a pushbutton /korrey seems to be a quite new AIRBUS feature. In all my A320 FCOMs they don't mention AUTOLAND as a pushbutton but only as a light. But I must admit that these FCOMs are not of very recent date.

Hi René,

Yes you're right, and as far as I know, you will never find an FCOM with that feature mentionned, even recent ones.
I could only find a small reference to it in the A320 Technical Training Manual.
But that features exists on the real ACFT...

Indeed, sometimes after an update some features don't work, but after 2 or 3 times work normally, that's weird. Isn't it?
I'll check it again tomorow. Thanks.

I'm unable to use managed mode with the autopilot after takeoff - prior to Vrotate managed mode is configured (speed, heading and altitude). I am in climb mode.

i only noticed this issue after switching to mouse (emulated) throttles. I also noticed the A/THR does not engage automatically when the emulated throttle is pushed to TOGA.

Is this just a joystick config problem?

[OmniAtlas]

Works now, even with the emulated joystick you have to use a margin of error. I used "2". Doing a flight now from the Gold Coast and have taken off without any issues!

Hi JL,
thanks for the particulars about the AUTOLANDING (pushbutton) feature. So CPFlight and fscockpit Glare Wings are no really up-to-date, aren't they? It's a pity but no disaster.
Do you know if this said feature is rather new or have been implemented since a long time in real ACFT?
Kind regards
René
