A320 FMGS beta 30

[AirFan]

Hello guys,

Over the weekend I spent some time to update server and client to 28.3. in addition, the online update was performed for both machines.
But I still have the problem with the wrong waypoint being displayed on the upper right ND.

Could somebody tell me if that is a local problem. I want to avoid a complete new install.
could someone please try the following:

plan a route -> take off -> sometimes after you passed the first waypoint, check if second waypoint is displayed correctly in upper right corner (in my case the first waypoint remains up there and the distance increases)

then try a DIRECT TO --> Is a temp point shown on the ND with a new temp route? and does the upper right corner displays the selected DIR-TO waypoint? In my case see dont see a temp point, no new route and the first waypoint of my original route is displayed on the upper right corner of the ND... However the FD performs correctly and the MCDU is also showing the right stuff.

really strange... I wonder what that is
I would appreciate any kind of help.

Regards
Rob

Hi Rob!

I had same problem yesterday. After passin a waypoint it didn't change to the next one. It stayed that same one to the end of the flight. I have only tested with one flight.

Tommi, Thank you for your quick reply & support. I guess that wasnt a coincidence. That's the bug I am talking about.

Hi,

@Chris:
Did you download the update through the updater on all your computers?
Also, it is best to start the server computer first.
The ND database is installed with the standard installation package. If you see the ND with the red flags, the most likely scenarion is you did not align the IRS (on the OVHD panel AND in the MCDU INIT page).


@Rob and Tommi: i'm working on it, this is apparently a bug, and not a user fault.

Hi all,

I think I made 100 flights already with this software, but only now comes to my mind: Isn't the SD in real life displaying the wheel/gear page automatically when the gear is coming up or down? In my case this is not happening on the SD.

Thanks

Stefan,

The Wheel page should be displayed after first engine is started and until the take off thrust is set, and also after L/G is down (below FL160) and until the last engine is stopped.

However, if somehow you set a specific ECAM page manually, the SD will no longer change pages by itself, until you cancel the manual selection (push again the lit up ECAM page button).

Thanks, I will have a closer look on my next flight.

Another question regarding flaps display on upper ECAM: I remember from real A/C that the flaps dots for the different flaps positions are not displayed when flaps are in position up. I have also seen this on this picture for example: Photos: Airbus A320-211 Aircraft Pictures | Airliners.net

Maybe this is airline specific? Because in your software it keeps displaying the dots even if flaps are up.

Thanks
Stefan

It's not airline specific, I just never took time to hide the dots... I'll try to do that soon.

Hi JL,

I have a little question....
a few day ago i Recordet in a320 cockpit a beautiful APU sound ( Start-Running-Stop)..
The question is: ist possible insert this sound ina320fmgs Sound directory and start this when i push a APU Sw in HVD panel?
Or is possible this with another way?

many Thanks!!!

Great idea Daniele,

indeed this sound is missing and would provide some more realsim.

@ JL: I hopefully will get some really nice recordings of ALL callouts from a full flight sim. I told the guy to record it via a cable and the headset plug so there is no surrounding noise. When I have it I would like do donate it as well, in case you are interested.
JL, I might mentioned it before, the sound system needs a tiny tweak to be able to play 2 sounds at the same time. i.e. ALT callouts and RETARD callout during land.
