A320 FMGS beta 30

Hi JL,

I assume it seems there are currently some other issues like "The network" in focus of your work. However, I just noticed another little thing for your todo list: The "SPEED BRAKE STILL OUT" ECAM MSG is missing. It should pop up when the Throttles are not in idle and the speed brake is still extended.

Thank you & regards
Rob

Hi,

I'll add it eventually. There are a LOT of ECAM messages, this will take a long time

Cheers,

Hi JL,

from time to time (but on each flight) I am having delays between input and response (e.g. pressing a key on MCDU or changing heading or speed on FCU, also OVHD). Currently I am not using any hardware modules, only Logitech joystick and Saitek throttle quadrant (with complex joy because of reverse switch). As I said, I did not have these delays with B26.

I have made a lot of tests as you suggested: no scenery addons, graphics settings to "very low", no weather, no AI traffic, no other addons, fps locked to 30 (as already always before), no EGPWS etc.

Unfortunately my problem persists, from time to time having legs of several seconds. My network traffic is always < 1%. My overall CPU performance on the server PC is around 55%, on the client PC it is around 15%. Network and CPU traffic always remained the same during the lags, there were no peaks. I also ran a permanent ping on both PCs, pinging the other PC all the time, the response times were <= 1 ms always. Maybe I could use a network analysis tool like Wireshark or Colasoft Capsa to get more into detailed network traffic analysis?

Thanks
Stefan

Hi JL,

just to let you know that I have made some more test flights - in total now 4 flights which all went well. My issue seems to be gone. The one thing I changed before was disabling MS Essentials. I am not yet 100% confident that this is/was the root cause, but at least it seems like that. I will do some more tests, also one or two with enabling Essentials again to check if the problem comes back.

Do you think that Essentials might be the cause? I have it on the system from the beginning, but the problems only started with B27. Maybe anyone else has encountered anything similar?

I will keep you updated.

Thanks
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

It is hard to tell. All security software can be a problem, I know that Norton and Avast can cause some issues as well. Hopefully this was the cause of your issues, and now it's solved.

Hi JL
After last update I can't fly with AP on, because A/C increases its pitch angle very much until stall. I try managed and selected mode with different V/S values, but it's the same. Any ideas?

Hi,

If you use FSX, do you start my software using starterFSX? it is the recommended way for FSX.

Solved, thanks.
Two issues left for me: 1-2sec lag for hardware (FCU, Thrust levers, Sidestick, Flaps, Spoilers etc) and MCDU software (Overhead panel software is rapid!...)
FCU leds turn on after 2-3 times turning on-off the FMGS starter, eventhough it's working properly (exept the lag)

Hi to all...
I think my lag problem is just a part of general performance problem at version B.27. Everything except overhead panel works with lag and fps loss, even the PC that runs just PFD-ND. There is no smoothness at all. It's much more stable than the B.26, but I think I prefer to have some crashes or freezes, than this. Please JL undo last changes... I can't fly anymore

Hi Leonidas,

I'm still working on the network communication and other stuff.
This is not easy stuff to keep it fast and efficient, so until then we'll all have to wait... But I'm working on it.
