A320 FMGS B31

[tcane]

Hi Jean Luc,
I do not know if the following problem is from me or your software.
I have entered the flight schedule and preferences in the MCDU and all seems to be fine and ready for takeoff. After i pushing the Heading Knob on the FCU the Flightplan becomes a solid green line and the FCU is in the managed mode.
But after Takeoff, shortly after I left the ground, the FCU goes back to the select mode and the green line is dashed again.
I push the heading knob again to go back to the managed mode but nothing happens.
Here are two Videos with the Problem:
First Video is a Overview of the MCDU settings and the Takeoff. (Sorry for the parking brake fail )

In the second video you can see how I try to come again in the managed mode.

Do I make something wrong or is it because of Jeehell?
Looking forward to your help and ideas.

King Regards Florian

p.s. Can we use now the autoupdate?

Hi all
when I start FMGS without the FSX I see the master caution button on the FCU, this button disapears when I start FSX... do I have to activate it somewhere, or does my FSX mess up

Regards
Stefan

Hi

The B32.2 is available: http://www.jeehell.org/A320FMGS_B32.2.exe
The autoupdate should work correctly again.

@Tcane/FLorian: you most probably did not fill correctly the INITB page (and eventually you missed Cost index and/or CRZ Level on INITA). This can easily be seen in FPLN Page:you have dashes instead of predicted altitudes and speeds.

Regards,
JL

This is probably what would happen if you suddenly powered the real A320 in mid air without any systems running...
This is not a bug, FSX should be started before my software, except after a new installation or if new scenery/navdata has been installed.

Sorry Jl,
in this video i make a warm reset in fsx and I had forgotten to specify the load. But once I accepted'm already at 3000 feet. Do I have the same problem when I try to get into the managed mode.

On the takeoff roll on your video, it is also clear on the FMA that you did not engage neither FLX nor TOGA (First column of FMA is empty). This can be because you missed the detent, or the detent is not correctly calibrated in FMGS Config.

Yes, I can atest to what JH is saying. Autopilot modes will not engage properly if your joysticks, input devices are not configured correctly in FMGS Config. Make sure you leave enough dead-zone.

What I just noted: you did not enter the Flight Level on the INIT page. Maybe this can also be an issue?

EDIT: JL has seen the same some posts before, sorry for doubleposting

@Ben: only few runways have markers nowadays...

Hi Jeehell, I just tested landing on KLAX 24R (http://www.airport-data.com/airport/LAX/ils/24R.html)

There are beacons during this approach, but I did not see any notifications on the displays.

Also, I can no longer enter my weights in the INIT section of the MCDU -- I can no longer go left or right (NOT ALLOWED) with the arrows.

Regarding MCDU...

This must be done before starting the engine.
