A320 FMGS beta 26

Thanks

My flap settings is 1+F and it is correctly shown on the EWD.
But I don't know why the stall speed is set so high. The aircraft is completely flyable at 135 kts.

I get it now, it's not the FS problem but comes more or less from my software...
The problem is, FS doesn't provide that much data concerning stall speed. FSUIPC only gives two offsets: clean stall speed and full flaps stall speed, and no variations according to the weight... So, I had to improvise...
I will see what I can do about it, but meanwhile I recommend Flap 2 for TO

Hello,

The only way I could reproduce the ND bug was with DME INTERCEPT points on STARs . If you could confirm that? (or maybe give me the route details you so I can confirm myself).

Hi,

I wanted to fly from EDDL to EDDW via MEVEL L179 OSN R15 BASUM T820 PIXUR.

I've done some modifications and some testing, I haven't had that error anymore.
I couldn't quite repeat the problem, and I think I may have put an old file in the package which caused the bug.
Anyway, this version has been tested on several routes, including yours, and everything is clean.

here is the link: http://www.jeehell.org/A320FMGS_B12.2.zip

If you could make even just a quick test to confirm the ND works, it would be great!!

Cheers,

Works perfect until now (climb)
Only thing is that the chrono on FO ND is INOP.

Okay, I'm back on ground. There were no problems with ND but just a few other things:

• Chrono on FO ND is INOP (already said that)
• Chrono text is wider than its background if time is more than 9:59 (9:59 fits, 10:00 is too wide)
• When I selected EXPED, speed was set to 340. Why?
• On approach the FMGS was unable to hold my selected VS -2000. I descended with -600 ft/min and suddenly the aircraft began to climb. See screenhot:
• Border around LAND on FMA is not wide enough. The border just frames the 2nd column and not the 2nd and the 3rd for LAND mode

[jeehell]

I'll correct the ND (frame and FO side) in next version and the LAND border.
EXPED function is supposed to get the best climb or descent gradient (not V/S apparently) according to your phsase.
So if you're in climb mode (actually if the FCU alt window is set above the actual altitude) then the speed target becomes green dot.
If you're in descent mode (if the FCU alt window is set below the actual altitude) then the speed target becomes MMO/VNE.
Thats's what I understand from the A320 FCOM.

Concerning the V/S issue, I'll look into it as well. This mode is really a headache, always disturbed by other things.

By the way, next time you post a screenshot, leave more of you wallpaper exposed

Cheers,

Hmm, ok. From videos I know for e.g. an emergency descend you select FL100, pull the thrust levers back to idle and press EXPED.

Will do this
And now down to TV, Germany will play in about 40 minutes

Hello,

The latest version is available:
http://www.jeehell.org/A320FMGS_B13.zip

What's new in B13:

-Corrected some more VNAV bugs...
-MCDU FPLN page will show dashes when necessary data has not been entered
-Stall speed calculation reworked. I don't use FS anymore, there is a file in the PERF folder of each aircraft to set the vairous Stall speeds (Vs1g.txt)
-MCDU Perf Pages reworked: now F,S and O speeds are shown, RWY shift and THS added. The THR red/Acc altitudes and VApp are auto-inserted and can be overriden manually.
-MCDU Airport key functionnal
-NO SID, NO STAR and NO APPR features added in the MCDU.
-PFD design reworked
-AP2 logic, however there's no way yet to engage both AP during approach.
-AP/FD logic during TO phase
-SIOC creator now features the tabs for the OVHD and other new things
-Master Warning and Master Caution logic is at its beginning:
*AP Take Over button and ATHR instinctive disconnect buttons available as both offsets and keyboard shortcuts, see the documentation.
*Disconnecting the AP or the ATHR through the FCU will raise MC or MW alerts.
-New sounds can be played: Cavalry Charge, Single Chime, SeatBelts, No Smoking. However, I couldn't find any redistributable version of these, so you'll have to overwrite the files I provide with your favorite sounds...
-ATHR can be disarmed during APPR phase.
