A320 FMGS B36

[jeehell]

UPdater and full packages should be good now with the b36.3 version and no more update loop...

If you are sure you have 36.3 installed on all computers then yes...

Is it possible to Backup Display positions and the configs for Axis and Inputs?
how?
always much work with every New Version...

[filippoporcari]

it is all written in the manual space...and all around the forum.
displays: save the files cfg in the EIS folder.
joy and axis: save Acontrols.cfg and joy(something).cfg in fmgs server folder

Hi,

This should correct the Skalarki missing STBY freqs, as well as adding the analog inputs:
http://www.jeehell.org/SkalarkiIO.dll
You NEED to reassign the analog axis in the FMGS config application though.
It also may not work...

Hi JL

Thanks for the update. Following some feedback of the B36.3 test.

The following behavior is with both DLL's (old and new):
RMP Device
- Frequencies only showed after Active/Stby button pressed
- kHz range shows only 2 digit, e.g. 122.67 instead of 122.675
- 1st officer RMP: kHZ frequency change only affects VHF3 independent of selected VHF radio
- Captain RMP: all OK
- VHFx indicator not initialized during start up. Indicator only shown when switched at least once

RUD Trim
- Rud Trim value only shows up when trim switch used. After being used, it remains on. Similar behavior as RMP devices.

SkalarkiIO.log content
- Error = bind failed with error, Code = 10048

New SkalarkiIO DLL:
- Analogue axis not tested yet - I haven't done the reassign yet. Hence, they don't work as you wrote. I will do them later.
- With the new DLL HardwareConnect crashes sometimes during startup with the following error shown:

HardwareConnect.exe Bad Image

C:\A320FMGS\Hardware Modules\SkalarkiIO.dll - log is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support.

General B36.3 behaviour
Every now and then I'm loosing connection between the FMGSServer and its clients. If communication is lost, the WideFMGS clients show 'Access violation'. This behavior I haven't seen in B36.2.

B36.2 and B36.2 versions
The WideFMGS clients do not reconnect if the WideFMGSServer is restarted. On the client side I see repeating messages "MsgListMutexMain1 timed out".

Adrian,

Regarding the RMPs, I do not have the behaviors you describe. Please check again your profiler settings.
I can see the last digits, also the RMP2 encoders both change the RMP2 STBY freq, and everything is displayed when it is supposed to be displayed...

The rudder trim is not modeled in my software. What you see is added by Marcin. I do not provide support for that.

SkalarkiIO.log is not produced by my dll, but by the older one. You can delete that file to avoid confusion.

The "hardwareconnect.exe bad image error" is startling. I never experienced this error. when does it happen? at the moment you start the application?

"MsgListMutexMain1 timed out" is not a problem, it's an indication and should not cause any crash/loss of communication.
I do not have any issues with communications in my tests (2 comptuers). I can stop and restart server/clients without errors. What is your network configuration?

adrian...maybe a silly question but: are u using the updated JLFMGS.dll provided by marcin?
u can't actually use old dll in profiler.

hi jl,
just made a quick test:
new DLL stby radios ok!!! still no axis detected...i could not assign them in fmgs config because the axis are not detected as before
old dll: everything fine
cheers
