A320 FMGS beta 30

[Leonidas]

Did you start the server PC first?

I have tried it with no clients, just server

Hi Leonidas,

I do not understand how you tested the software? The only thing which changed is WideFMGS, on a single computer it can only work just as it before?

Thank you Jeeheel, Anyway your informations are very helpfull for my understanding of the different parts of that Simulation.

Reroute mean due to an emergency change the arrival to an other Destination. so if i do that some strage things might be happen with the MCDU (FMGC)

I found two other things:

-The oil amount is not messure in %, its in quarts (qts)
- Flying to an waypoint is displayed on the ND. When overfly it should goes quickly to the next waypoint, stored in the Flightplan.

-It happens sometimes, that in approach phase and approach mode the Loc is acquired but the glide will not acquired. Check for example LTCE. Database error or reroute MCDU error?

Hi,

@Daniele: I've tested your sound set, and I must say it is very nice! the sounds are really clean, no outside interference at all, congrats!


@Chris:
- Oil quantity in quarts: I know that, but FS provides only % as measure and I do not know the real quantities used in the A32X family...
- The ND should show the right WPT without issue at all? is your ND on a remote computer? If so did you try the last update? it might solve that.
- I cannot test every single airport/ILS. Do you have a glide signal on the PFD/ND? if so, the AP should capture the G/P.

Cheersn

No JL, no like before. Let me explain again
B28.3: Perfect!
1st update: I could start it with problems
2nd update: I could not start batteries, or press any other button on MCDU to begin a flight.
Regards

Did you try to close Widefmgs (clients and server) then run them manually?
First run the server, then each client.

Hi Jeehell,

-Oil quantity for a

CFM 56 engine: normal 110 to 130 qts the indication have a 0 one left and 20 on right (for 200)-Yes ND is on remote.. its a minor bug..(on the first view you just read the 100 and think omg engine going dead because less than 110)

- Today on rwy, everything as usual and again no managed mode possibile to switch....the hardware is OK, means i can see the output and the a reaction on PFD (HDG, ALT..) Happend very often.

- Also when i reroute i think the FMGC doesn't accept the new airport really, although its indicate the new Airport letter code. But on PDF i still see the original destination RWY. Then the MCDU make strange things sometimes.

- PFD show me not the ILS bars, The freq are set, course are set, (MCDU show me the right freq,course ), but no path and LOC marker is visibile. i only get LOC Mode in the PFD and the plane make the turn for establishing.

- What i also observe is that a reconnection on PFD, ND, SD, EWD, MCDU... never works, means when i need to reset the Server and start again i need also start all other modules as well again although they was only a short time connected...

Hello JL

After the last update , my PFD does not show the ILS bars .

Thanks

Hello to everyboby,

@ Daniele: I also did a short test with your donated soundset. Thank you very much. I can't imagine you done all that within one day! I like it. 2 things:
1. - I am not 100% sure but I think I noticed some interference for the engine sounds. but I love your spool up sound during take off run! Really nice! some more tweaking and it will be really nice!

2. - I can't hear any difference between APU on and off in the cockpit? I also can't see a file for APU start and shutdown...
In addition, is there a way to trigger the start or shutdown of the avionic fans? The fans are always running even everything is off. But very nice! I will look forward to your next update

@ Chris: in case I remember correctly: you have access to the real bus quite frequently? would it be possible to take a short video of the lower ECAM with the wheel page during landing phase when using the auto brake feature? So I could see the temperature rising due to auto brake? maybe some different landings with different ambient temps and landing mass?
by the way: is the auto brake power depending on the aircraft weight? I would like to think of a simple temperature model for the wheels but I cant find any videos were somebody shows the Wheel page during landing. All are either focused on PFD or the runway Maybe you can provide some shoots???

@ JL: I know you are busy with all these tiny things... I have to mentioned that I wanted to try the latest version the upcoming weekend. I will keep you in the loop with my findings .
However, I tried to re-ajust some ILS data in the earth_nav. WOW... that seems to be really complicated. I only touched the LOC. After many many many many tries I found a pretty good runway angle and the corresponding vector position, so it is centered all the way down the runway.
If I now fly manually both magenta squares are fine. However, the AC does not follow this modified ILS? The AC either seems to fly parallel to the GS or the LOC. but mostly parallel to the LOC.
The runway angles are precisely indentical. Im sure you have some more experience with the ILS. Any idea? I assumed that both (LOC and GS) need the same runway angle AND the LOC vector point needs to be on Centerline + the origin point of the GS need to be at the touchdown zone but can differ in lateral direction... I am confused about the try and error idea. Is there an official way to ajust the earth_nav to any scenery? some help? Thanks, JL!

Its a really great software.

Guys, have a nice weekend!

FYI ...have the same results as Leonidas. Connection ports are open and exist on both machines, client and server. No switches can be operated. After hours i found out: FSUIPCConnect needs to be started manually on server side. Also WideFMGSServer manual start after killing in task manager. Exactly the same necessary with client. Simply a batch problem of the starter. Is there any configuration possible (file) or is this hard coded?
