Hi Leonidas,
3: it should be working correctly though? Are you using hardware there?
JL

Yes, I'm using a hardware switch connecting to FDS card. Should I invert the switch connectors, so that ON became OFF and vise versa?

Hi Stefan,

Yes I could reproduce it. But it will take some time to fix it.

HI
@Papelin: when does the shaking occur? I need more info on that. I do not recommend turning the FBW OFF.

@Filippo: this is normal, do not touch the settings in the AP/FBW, they should be good by default.

Hi!
Excuse me for the delay.
This matter only happens rarely, but lately everything is ok but the Autothrottle stick or the Autothrottle display indication.

I think this issue is happening to me because of a wrong Throttle joystick setup.(This is working badly for me?)
I wish We had some offsets to configure the throttle positions ( REVERSES, IDLE, CL, FLEX AND TOGA) by means of the joystick buttons or just by the keyboard.
(Don't get me wrong. I don't want you to look at me like an oportunist man and take this chance to make some kind of requirement )

For instance, when I put the Throttles ( I have a CH PRODUCTS THROTLE PRO USB) onto the CL position, select a new altitude higher and then press the altitude button , the bus begin climbing up higher, but in the PFD I can see:

'THR LEVER' and "LEVER CLB" words, (the 'LEVER CLB' word (is in white color and flashing all time), rather than the "THR CLB" word, I guess.

In other words: Shouldn't it appear THR CLB instead of THR LEVER + LEVER CLB (flashing all time)?


When moving the throttle stick just a very little bit, it appears the "MAN" word with a red square at the PFD. I think the throttle is moving out from the CL possition. I don't know. I guess....

Is this autothrottle working way right, or maybe there's something wrong that is happening because I didn't setup the throttle stick in the right way yet?
I have set a 4% error ratio for every detent possition in my throttle stick configuration.
(PD: I have set up at 2% error and nothing has changed )


Should I change my Throttle stick by another more complex one?
Another reason could it be that I´m running FS9 and FMGS in the same computer with Two monitors. Maybe it´s so much loading for just one computer?

Excuse for my ignorance. I´ve never ever flown a bird like this one. The only Airbus I've ever seen is PSS, Wilco and Airsimmer. I don't like Neither of them .
The only system I like a lot is yours: jeehell FMGS.

Greetings.

Hi Papelin,

THR LVR calibration is critical, you have to make sure the following are respected:
- each detent has a non zero error zone
- each detent has a big enough error zone so it can be easily found when moving the lever
- each error zone must not overlap with another detent error zone

If when you put the thr lever in CLB detent you still get LVR CLB flashing, then your levers are not in the correct position.
The MAN indication means you are between CLB and MCT.

You do not need a complex throttle, and this is not a computer issue either, this is calibration I think.

regards,
JL

Hi JH,
I have a problem with the installation of the navigation data
(current data from Navigraph for Leveld 767).
All other parts of the JH FMGS software works without problems.
But if I want to enter the departure and destination airport in the MCDU,
then comes the following error message "no data available".

All software (JH-A320FMGS_B30 with update and FSX) are installed
on the same computer on the drive "D".
So there should be no problems with the
operating system W7 Professional and the internal firewall.
The installation were all performed with administrator privileges.
Furthermore, the User Account Control is turned off.

The following error:
1. Start of the program "Configure" with administrator privileges
2. Window with its own IP address 192.168.178.61 appears
3. Fenster with the NETWORK SETUP screen is displayed
3.1 Activate the FSX running on this computer
3.2 select the path for the extracted navigation data
(D: \ Program Files (x86) \ Microsoft Games \ Microsoft Flight Simulator X \ Level-D Simulations \ navdata)
3.3 DONE button
3.4 window with "File acces denied.

From this loop, I'm just entering
the local IP address and
disable that the FSX is not running on this computer.

I have also removed the write protect on all folders and files on the D drive.
Another attempt to copy the navigation data on a USB Sick did not work.

What can I do ?

[jeehell]

Hi

Did you try to copy the level navdata to another fodler prior to importation? Like c:\leveld\
This way you ensure there is no protection whatsoever (program files folders ARE protected on windows, no matter what you do, and I did not took time to adjust my software for that...).

Hi JH,
first of many thanks for your help on Sunday.
Yes, I have tested with C:\leveld but it has not been successful.
Therefore, I had copied the data on the USB stick, which also has not worked.

Do you have another idea?
Andreas

[filippoporcari]

hi jl,
yes i must join thanking u for answering on sundays as well!
even if i'm not experiencing any navdata install problem, could u please explain better the 2 notifications we get while installing new navdata? i receive a 1st notification asking "copy older navdata to navdata1?" and a second notification "copy newer navdata1 to navdata2?"
what's the difference between navdata, navdata1 and navdata2 ?
what are we supposed to answer to the 2 above notifications?
regards
fil

Thanks for your time, patience, and effort!
and thanks for being there developing the most exciting airbus software ever seen.

At last! I got it.
I think I didn't understand what exactly did I have to do.
Well. It´s done and the only words I can say are: I'm speechless. This software is absolutely amazing!
Thanks a million of times!
I think now that the shaking movements from up to down were due to I didn't set up any data into the MCDU init second page.
I did enter the Zero Fuel Weight but I didn't ever enter the C.G.
Why? It´s the question. Because when entering a value of Zero, the MCDU did say me: Not Allowed mate!

Now, I'm entering a value of 1.0 and the plane doesn't move any more.
Which is the right value should I have to enter? I guess there must be some sort of table or something like this.

Greetings.
