A320 FMGS B35

[jeehell]

Hi all,

I update is available, either through the updater or the full package:
http://www.jeehell.org/A320FMGS_B35.1.exe

I reworked the joystick system again a bit. SOme of you may have to redo the calibration to get proper axis centers and courses.
The navdata has been greatly reworked, and now the NDs should no longer have any issue displaying the VORs/NDBs/etc.



@turbovela: there is currently no documentation for SIOC Creator, but if you know the SIOC system, it should be quite simple, you just need to enter the input/output numbers just as you would in your own scripting.
There is a function called testbit, if I recall correctly, to check if a particular bit is set or not on a byte offset. I'm very sorry to say this, but your remark seems to indicat you still have a bit of learning to do on the FSUIPC/offsets/SIOC scripting, and this thread might not be the best place for you to get help.


Best regards,
JL

JL,

Thanks for the reply, I actually have a lot to learn and I'm in the process of it, a friend pointed me in the right direction, and to go through the Peter Dawson (FSUIPC) forum. So I am doing a little more research before I start asking more questions....lol, but still, thank you for your reply help.

good morning JL,

nice update you made for us. I can confirm, that all items on ND are now displayed, when in networked mode. Great job!

Hi JL,

thanks for the update. I also an confirm that the ND´s in network mode are fully functional now. Also there was no need to recalibrate any of my stick axes.

Cheers

Hi all,
after the update from yesterday my online flight from LSZH to EDDT was satisfying as ****. All went fine and was stable without any problems. Thanks a lot to JL, great work.
What I do not understand is that I had to fly manually without FD, all was fine until I went airborne the route in ND became dashed and it was not possible to go in managed mode on FCU pressing to managed mode, it consists manual mode. Also I cant't access PERF in MCDU that was blocked too. MCDU worked fine so far (DIR/INIT etc), just PERF was blocked. Did I miss something in configuring? As far as I remember all was filled and activated. This behavior is new to me.
Any ideas?

Hi Stefan,

that's crazy, I had the same problem during one flight last week (LSZH-LEPA on 19AUG). I am sure I had filled the PERF page before completely. The first thing that happened was during T/O run: the FMA on PFD did not display the usual TakeOff Power labels that usually come when you move the thust lever to FLX.

Test rest of the flight was the same as you describe: No managed speed and no managed NAV possible, all needed to be entered manually in FCU. Also no access to PERF page on MCDU any more.

All following flights I made afterwards were fine again.

Regards
Stefan

Hi Stefan

maybe a STEFAN bug . I will check tonight if that happens again . But good to know that I am not he only one.....
Any real pilots on board to give us a hint what we maybe missed?

Hi,

If the PFD does not show MAN FLX or MAN TOGA, then you have a problems. This means it will NOT transition into takeoff mode, thus once airborne, it does not know what to do, so managed modes are not available.
I do not know how the real thing behaves. If someone has a better understanding...

Hi JL
just came back from a flight from EDDT to EDDF and no managed mode when airborne. Did not see MAN FLX or MAN TOGA. could that be that I need to configure my throttles again?
