Wow -- looks like a big update, downloading now :) Cheers JL.

asessa (http://www.mycockpit.org/forums/member.php?u=19170) -- not too sure if I previously mentioned this with you -- my autoland annunciators would also 'blink' ; but that was only because I had the captain side wired up, and not the FO side. I am not too sure if it had anything to do with the logic. When I wired up the FO side, the blinking stopped and it now functions as intended.

Hi Ben, thanks for your suggest i can try to wired up also the fo annunciator .

Hyi JL, hyi all!

Jeehell, thanks for your massive work.
Please be so kind and tell us, is there still a restriction for FSCockpit users? (Thread is closed)

Thanks & Cheers

[Leonidas]

Thanks JL for this update, no brakes high temp now...
The "COOL BRKs" option is the same with "BRK FAN" pushbutton on MIP, isn't it? When I press BRK FAN on MIP, it appears on E/WD, but when I choose COOL BRKs option from Addon menu nothing happens.
Regards

[Maddin91]

Leonidas, the COOL BRKs option will cool down the brakes immediately, while the BRK FAN takes it's time (like in the real aircraft). The COOL BRKs option is for a quick reset in case you want to take off directly after landing or rejected takeoff.

@JeeHell:
Nice update, thank you. Little problem though:
Installed on all machines, everything was fine. Started P3D v2.5. While the splash screen was displayed (before the terrain loading progress bar appeared) the sim closed down without error. Tried couple of times. Nothing.
Copied a backup of the flight model from B43 into the simobjects/airplanes folder, then the sim started normal. Did you change anything in the flight model? Something is weird here...

Where is COOL BRKs in the real aircraft?

[jeehell]

In the real ACFT it would be the fire brigade, but there is no switch for that one ;-)

@Maddin: weird issue with the model, there was no changes there...

[OmniAtlas]

Hi JL -- would it be possible to move some of these options to an MCDU options menu, or would that be difficult because of the FSX/P3D structure?

Latest beta is working great -- lots of small details. I will report back if I find any major (or minor) bugs.

Hello, i have a problem (from the two previous versions, which is the first a start using Jeehell A320).
When i complete the flight plan, while i fly, sometimes i see the flight path (green line) making some strange path at the arrival procedure. It looks like adding other points, some far away. It looks like a scratch draw. It may correct later and also may appears again.

My folder structure seems to be ok. My terrain (ND) works great and also all the buttons on the EFIS (Airport, Waypoints, etc)

I will provide screenshot later.

Any ideas??

This happens to me often, especially when I change plight plan. Usually these strange lines seem to go to ...infinity, disappear by itself while I get closer. If not, I use DIRECT TO button...

Hi JL


I have a big problem with triple brake.
I use 4 PC in LAN network, all working good.
Triple brake indicator is in the same PC that FO MCDU.
When I set ON Parking brake, nothing happens with brake's needles. But they are working when I press both brake pedals or separately (right or left).
If I set OFF parking brake , nothing happens with brake's needles and neither either when I press brake pedals.




Any ideas?

Do you have any plan to reduce size of the bird FPA and add PBD (Point/Bearing/Distance) function to FMGS ?http://www.mycockpit.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=11061&stc=1

[steinbach72]

Hello Jean Luc,

thank you for the latest version, I had been expected long because of brakes temp problem.
I made several flights with fresh install (on P3D 2.5 latest build) and have to say that nothing changes for me:
During taxi......stable 25°C - braking action does not affect temp. in any way
Airborne.....stable 20°C - whole 20 min. flight
After landing....brakes temp. raises again up to 400°C, with BRAKES LOW, no cooling down 5 min. after landing.

Has it any solution?

Thank you very much

Jiri, Prague

[jeehell]

Jiri, cooling of brakes takes hours, not 5 minutes...
Try to use A/BRK LO until less than 50 kts, then be really gentle on the pedals.

[jeehell]

masterp: I suppose you did not try to add PBD points...

[Leonidas]

The issue using Topcat insists. OUTR TK FUEL XFRD appears on EWD and fuel xfeed from left outer to left inner tank until balance. After that the message remains on EWD!

Hi Jean Luc,

thank you for quick reply, |I will try it and report.

Jiri

[jeehell]

Leonidas,

I will not correct anything because of third party addons.
It has been said that its best to load fuel from topcat when APU is not running, as the APU logic is the one foolling around the fuel consumption.

Once the XFR valve is open, it stays open until the next refueling, which in the sim will be after the next engine stop/start cycle.

Hi Jean Luc,

I did 2 landings

1. Exactly by your scenario.....HOT BRAKES AGAIN

2. AB LOW, at 50 knots short press on pedals to deactivate, then stop with reversers only, no manual braking action....HOT BRAKES AGAIN !!!!!

What to do????

Jiri

[jeehell]

2 solutions:
1. you wait with BRK FANs ON (as in the real acft...)
2. you go in the addon menu in FSX/P3D then click "cool brk".

This is NORMAL to have hot brakes, depending on the landing speed, weight etc...

I will test it with different weights and speeds. But I never saw hot brakes in any airbus cockpit video. I saw a lot of them.
And is the normal behaviour that before TO temp doesnt change when braking? Even when you do it frequently?

Jiri

[jeehell]

To avoid too much unjustified heat (its hard in FSX/P3D not too brake too hard and taxi correctly), when speed is slow, the temperatures will not rise unless you really apply brakes for a long time.

Hi,

yes I understand, it has limitations.
I have one more idea. I am using SimPhysicsP3D, this software works with braking system too, so it could be any interaction in my case. I will try to turn off SimPhysics and will try different weights and speeds.

Thank you for your help and mainly for your huge work.

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Hi JL,
That mean you have already added PBD to version B44, is that correct? I just read the change log on your first post only, I will update from B42 to B44 tonite and try to add some PBD points (Format in MCDU is P/B/D, Right?).
Many thanks for your hard work Bro !!

It may brake by itself if not calibrated right. Try to recalibrate your brake pedals. First from Windows Control Panel and then from FMGS_config giving more tolerance (eg. 5%) to the neutral. Notice its behaviour at the taxiing. Speed should be reduced very slowly without thrust.

Somehow my joystick partially stopped working... In the configuration everything is fine and I can see the axis moving.
However in the sim not everything works.. all buttons are fine, even the slider used for the speed brakes work. But not the elevator, aileron and rudder axis. I doublechecked I have hydraulic pressure.

[Stephan Schwarz]

Maybe a double assignment of the axis somewhere in the sim or in FSUIPC?

I've tried loading fuel without running APU and Ext Power too. So, exactly the same message, but never mind about it, I don't care.

Thanks for the idea..I completely deactivated the joystick in the sim, but I dont think I can completely delete the assignment. I dont use FSUIPC. And it worked until the update..

Two small problems with the version B44 so far.
On one of my computers I could not run the Installer .
I received the error message, Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 or higher have to be installed.
I have upgraded to Microsoft Windows 10. Net Framework is already installed.
Have also tried the Repair Tool of Net Framework. The problem remained.
I have installed the required modules on another computer (also Windows 10) then and copied from there.
So I have solved the problem .

In SIOC Creator I have insert the input 34 for the upper position and input 35 the lower position for the EMER EXIT LT.
When I press on Apply Configuration I get the error message

Phase 2
ERROR! - EMEREXITUP -
Line: 211 Var 102, name EMEREXITUP, Link IOCARD_SW, Device 0, Input 34
%FAILED%

I have checked whether the input 34 was already used elsewhere.
This was not the case. No idea why the assignment is not possible.

My first attempts with the new version have shown that the problem with the fuel and TeamViewer
no longer occurs. Thanks for the new version.

[Fritz]

Too early happy! The problem with the fuel and TeamViewer persists.

I made a flight with Version B44 today. No other problems. Very stable.

One question. I had not been noticed that the switches of the ACPs could be assigned in the ITT Creator.
For the switch LEDs are no assignments possible in the ITT Creator. Is it planed to provid this in the next release?

[jeehell]

I forgot to add the LEDs in IIT creator, I'll try to put them in next release.

It seems the Skalarki ACP is fully knob backlightable with ?functional volume control. Are these features already supported with the Skalarki DLL file and FMGS?

Thank you.

[jeehell]

my software provides the SW/LEDs logic, but volume itself will not have much effect unless skalarki could interface that with the sound card or else...

JL

[Fritz]

I have also reassign the switch for the CARGO SMOKE in ITT Creator.
I tried the Test switch and it should happen
Pressing this button for at least 3 seconds, and until it is released :

Tests the smoke detectors in sequence,
Turns on the red SMOKE lights twice, and displays the ECAM warning,
Turns on the amber DISCH lights.

Nothing happens on my Overhead.

[jeehell]

What hardware did you use?
What LEDs assignations did you use?

JL

[Fritz]

Hi JeeHell,

stupid mistake on my part. I have installed an older version and therefore also wrong assignments.
I had no longer remembered. I'm going to modify the LED assignment and replace the Korrys later.

The Korrys are wired to a FDS SYS1X.

Hi,

I`m unbale to find an Offset for the EMER EXIT LT so I would like to ask if there is an Offset for this.

[FSlikerX]

or is there an Offset for the CARGO SMOKE ?

[Fritz]

In ITT Creator I have assigned the EVAC switch.
When this switch is pressed, EVAC should lights red and a horn sounds.
On my Overhead the switch lights but no horn sounds.

I have also assigned the EMER switch in ITT Creator.
If this switch is pressed, high-low chime should sounds three times, on all of the loudspeakers
and ON light flashes in white and the CALL light flashes in amber.
On my Overhead the switch flashes but no sound is heard.

Both switches are wired to a FDS-SYS1X Board.


I still have the Problem with the EMER EXIT LT switch
When I press on Apply Configuration I get the error message

Phase 2
ERROR! - EMEREXITUP -
Line: 211 Var 102, name EMEREXITUP, Link IOCARD_SW, Device 0, Input 34
%FAILED%

I could not identify the error. Did anyone else have this problem?
The switch is wired to an OC Interface Board.

[jeehell]

Hi,

I will add some FSUIPC offsets in next release.

The EVAC horn sound is corrected in next release.

I'll add the high-low chimes someday for the emer call, not a big priority.

The EMER EXIT LT switch compilation bug in SIOC Creator is corrected in next version, it will come soon.

JL

[GoingForGold]

I have a question regarding the PTU sound: As soon as one engine is running, I can hear the PTU sound until the other engine is stable. So the sound is repeated over and over again. I thought that this should only be played once? Or is this intentional?

You can't even hear the PTU in the cockpit (confirmed by Captain Dodiano), so you should disable the PTU sound.

Hi JL!

In addition to SIOC...

1) IN SIOC Creator, I would like to ask you to correct as well the Device IDX for FO MCDU which will not be remembered.
I checked with an HEX-Editor and it seems the IDX is stored in *.mcdufo but when ever I open the config it shows "0"

2) The "Yellow Elec. HYD Pump" Korry acts like a latching switch even when the "Latching switch" flag is not set. I'm only using push buttons! In the FMGSServer.iocp.ini it is correctly defined.
ovhd_YellowPumpsw=408

Hi JL
I have a problem for long time, not critical but quite annoying: When I start the starter.exe my H/W overhead panels connected to a FDS I/O card doesn't start. I can start EXT PWR from addon menu, the button turns ON, but by pressing it doesn't become AVAIL. APU doesn't work as well.
I should close and restart the starter.exe 3, 4, or sometimes 7-8 times to work properly!
What could I try to troubleshoot this? Does H/W modules LOG help?
Best regards

[Stephan Schwarz]

How could I disable it?

Quite easy: just rename the file c\A320FMGS\SOUND\Sounds\ptu.wav to ptu.old and thats it!

[OmniAtlas]

How could I disable it?

Unclick the PTU box in the sound manager options dialogue.

[GoingForGold]

Another minor problem I have.

Usually, when I get a master warning (the red one), I click it away on the FCU panel. But, sometimes, when I deactive the AP shortly before touchdown, I can't deactivate it. I can click the button/annunciator and it disappears, but the text on the ECAM and the sound continue. So from the touchdown until I shut the plane completely down, I hear the annoying beeping.
Am I doing something wrong?

[Fritz]

After adjusting my assignment for the the Cargo Smoke Test, it works as it should.
A small thing I have noticed. When the Warning is displayed on the ECAM,
the GWPS and G/S switch lit simultaneously on the Cpt. and FO forward panel.
After a while it disappears.

But this is a very minor bug.

[brianwilliamson]

I have finally upgraded to V 44.1 after using 38 for some time. Main reason being that I have been busy putting new projectors in which are 1080p. Boy, that makes a difference. Again many thanks to Jean Luc for a great effort for the software. Really great. One problem I noticed with the upgrade is that I cannot get WPT, VORD, NDB, or ARPT to come up on the FCU (CPFlight V 116 ).The CSTR come up ok on the flight plan, and the plan has all the waypoints in ok. Just none of the others. If anyone else sees this perhaps let me know. Cheers, Brian W.

@Brian: I have also a CPFlight FCU V116. Dont't have this Problem. Can't you activate WPT, VORD, NDB or did you not see it on the ND?
When thesecond is true, then you have to copy the *.bin files to your NAVDATA folder.

[OmniAtlas]

I would delete all the bin files on all your client and server computers. Regenerate the files by restarting FMGS on the server computer. Then redistribute it on all the client computers. You need to make sure navdata1 and navdata2 have the same files.

Hi together,

i am using B44.1 and the MIP from Skalarki. When I connect to ext. power GPWS - G/S Button on the FO side is showing in red "GPWS". I am not able to switch it off. I'm not 100% sure but I think this must be something with the new version as I can not remember to have this in the previous versions of FMGS ???
A second strange thing is switching the "Terrain on ND" off. Switching it on for the first time works normal but to switch it off i have to press the button on my MIP twice ? and to switch it on again I have to press the button again twice . I haven't changed anything in the Profiler 4.3 settings.

Does anybody have an idea ?

Thanks and best regards

Hello virtual/real pilots,
And to begin of course (even if we keep repeating ourselves), a big thanks for this great software.
I am currently running B44.1, but I use it for already quite some time.
And I have this little problem, that seems to have already been reported one year ago.
I wonder if other people experience a similar trouble with the TRANSPONDER.

The symptom is, after startup, that the XPNDR displays a solid MODE "C".
I am not a real IFR pilot, but I do not think this is normal.
Indeed, in the MCDU you can switch between STBY and "C". But when flying online it is not desirable to start in "C".
Am I missing something or everybody just toggles the XPNDR with the MCDU?

I only have a HW FCU/EFIS and MCDU. I do not know how this would behave with a SIOC XPNDR HW switch.
From the SIOC creator I see the code would generate:
&ATC3POS = &ATCstby or &ATCcon.
Perhaps this would work with SIOC creator.

I am just trying to bind another, non SIOC switch, to the standard IVAP offset 7B91.
With another software, when toggling 7B91, the XPNDR code behaves as expected and the IVAP module reflects this.
But with Jeehell software it just ignores this.
In the "Offsets.pdf" file I do not see any other related function.

Is this working as designed?
Or is it just the way it has been written?
Can't the OFFSET be used in order to control de XPNDR?
Are there any alternatives other than using the MCDU?

I could bind one of those EFIS ADF2 switches to this XPNDR funtion in SIOC creator, but I would really "hate" to do this.
Thanks beforehand for any creative suggestion.
Of course, if Jeehell himself, could come with an alternative, that would be great :-)
Thanks in advance !

[jeehell]

Hello,

Full integration of the XPDR logic into IVAP/squawkbox is not so simple, as they do not support complex XPDR (with modes A/A+C operations). I will check that, but I thought this should have been working. The MCDU page does not show the current XPDR operation mode, but rather how it is set to work "on the XPDR panel".

JL

Hello all

I have just made a fresh installation of P3D and A320 FMGS. During the installation of FMGS I got an error that can not be written into prepar3d.cfg.

Is this something I can ignore as everything seems to work or do I have to add something manually to prepar3d.cfg?

Cheers
Greg

[jeehell]

I do not write anything in Prepar3D.cfg. I only add the aircraft addon by using P3D tools to do that, maybe thats where it creates an error. Just check you have the jeehell A320 model in you aircraft hangar, otherwise you will need to install it manually.

Hi JL,

thanks for changing the MCDU APP page to reflect the TL instead of the TA. However, as it looks, the QNH flashing does not respect any manual entries made in the "TRANS FL" field.

For example: Approaching LSZH with TRANS FL = FL80, the QNH continues flashing during descent between 8000 and 7000 ft while QNH was set to 1030 already. I had the same experience on the flight before to EDDM where I also entered a TRANS FL manually.

Thanks for your help + Merry Xmas :-)

Does anyone have a "APFBWcoeff.ini" file with information for an A319.
A3xx is a family of aircraft with the same cockpit systems.
Some values are the same for all, like stated in Jeehell's manual:
"... ils sont donc supposés exacts pour tous les avions de la famille A32X."
But the Flight Profile is something else...

It would be great to be able to fly the PA319.
http://talk.pafs.wf/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=638
A318, A319, A320 FSX models can now be found on AVSIM
"FSX-native models for the Project Airbus A318, A319 and A320"

Reason: A320 carries 180 passengers, A319 130 pax. I never get the A320 full... :-)

@Stefan : the TL issue with PFD will be solved in next update, hopefully before 2016, but after Xmas.

@F22dead: please search the forums.... do NOT use any other models that can be found here.


Hyi JL!

When solving the TL issue, could you implement, that on the RW A320 the QNH is also flashing below TL, if the approach phase on the MCDU PERF page has NOT been activated (or has not been activated automatically). It stop flashing after activating the appr phase.
This is a rare situation coming up on short relandings after T/O without descent planning/spd reduction point/ ...
Would be a nice feature if you can add this, if it isn´t too difficult.

Thanks for your very high standard work.

@all: Have a happy healthy new year!

Kind regards

Hello JL,
after the update from 44.0 to 44.2 my 5 Clients will not connect to the Server anymore. Hope you can help. In the meantime i make a downgrade to Version 44.0.
Thanks

[jeehell]

Hello,

network wise there was no change between 44.0 and 44.2. I'd check somewhere else first (firewall, antivirus, etc). Then make also double sure that all configurations are set correctly.
Did you change any other piece of software (P3D or else)?

Hello JL,
now i have make the downgrade to Version 44.0 and all 5 Clients connect again without any further problems. I made a small flight from EDDL to EDDF and all works fine. Before i update to Version 44.2 i have update my P3D to Version 3.1. Hope thats help. Wish you a good start in 2016 and thank you for your excellent work!

Others don't seem to have the issue, so it is most likely a local problem.

Hi JL!

I'm trying to find a solution for Rudder Trim Display to display "L" and "R".
I'm using SIOC and I can see in case of "L" you are writing a "1" and in case of "R" you are writing a "8" to the display variable RUDTRIM_DISP4.

I found now a way to convert the OC-DisplayCard 7-Segment outputs to a 14-Segment display (I will use a KCPSC04-105 from Kingbright). In order to achive this I would need a "4" to display a "L" and a "2" to display a "R".

I suspect that you can not change it generally, because maybe others would need these values ( 1 & 8 ), but maybe you can include additional fields in SIOC Creator to be able to define these 2 values as parameters. Or maybe you make the Rudder Trim Display values available as FSUIPC variables, then it would be easy for me to create a simple SIOC code which would fit then for me.

Any suggestions from your side?

Thanks
Christian

[jeehell]

Hi,

Some people may indeed already use the current values to set up their own displays...
Instead of using an FSUIPC offset or make your own SIOC code, you can already make it yourself by editing what SIOC outputs.
Simply remove the link to a display for the RUDTRIM_DISP4, and add another variable linked to your actual display, which will read the RUDTRIM_DISP4 variable and assign the correct value to the 14 segment.

Regards,
JL

[AUA171]

Hi!

This was also my first idea, but I do not want to make any changes in your SIOC code generated by SIOC-Creator. I only want to add my own SIOC Code seperately.
Either I need a trigger whenever the value changes between -999999 , 1 and 8 which would call my new variable to write the changed value to my 14-segment display.
Or I need to permanently scan &RUDTRIM_DISP4 within a subroutine which will be called by a timer every e.g. 1/10 second.
I guess the scanning would be the best, I will give it a try in this way and see how it performs.

Hello,

On my last 4 ILS approaches I have observed that the speed by managed speed is not sufficiently reduced.
I have activated approach in the MCDU and pushed the APPR Switch on the FCU.
A target speed of about 175 kts is displayed on the PFD. AP1 and AP2 is activated.
The speed is reducing to about 200 kts and I set the flaps to Flaps1 but for Flaps2 I am to fast.
The autothrust accelerates again. When I set the Speed to manuall on the FCU,
a Speed of 204 kts is displayed on the FCU. I adjust the Speed to 145 kts, then the autothrust does not
accelerate again and I am able to set flaps up to Flaps4.
Without manual intervention, the auto thrust is not automatically reduce the speed enough.

This problem I have not had before. Can anyone confirm this?

I use the FCU from CPFlight.

[romeow]

Hello Fritz,
I've observed more or less the same issue (using still version 39). I've noticed as well that wind speed changes worsen the behaviour of ATHR. Make a test with no weather and probably you will see that ATHR works perfectly.

A kind of workaround: If ever there is windy weather don't use managed speed until you are on the GS.
Regards
René

[Fritz]

I use FMGS version 44.2. Have upgraded from Prepar3D 2.5 to Prepar3D 3.1 during the holidays.
I've had this in different weather situations. Once at 1 kts crosswind or 4 kts headwind
according to METAR, same behavior. I'll be watching it on.

Thanks for your reply.

Regards Fritz

[jeehell]

At some weights, the managed speed while in flaps 1 (green S speed displayed on PFD scale about 1.24*stall speed in clean configuration) is at or very near the VFE of flaps 2 (fixed 200kts). This is a known issue on the real A320, the PERF of the aircraft sometimes require selected speed input. Also, in descent, the aircraft will always be hard to decelerate to extend the flaps. Sometimes you NEED to lower the gear (particularly in some ILS with slopes of 4°).

JL

[romeow]

Hi Jeejell,
your description ist exactly what I experience from time to time but it's only a part of the "problem". An example what I (and probably Fritz) mean: descent, current speed 250, speed set 210 (managed or selected doesn' matter), VS -1400. N1 should be reduced now to idle (the blue indicator arcs of N1 show this input requirement!) but ATHR stays more o less constantly on a power input which is too high so that the aircraft is accelerating in addition to VS . Even increasing VS (e.g. -2000) to force ATHR to cut the power setting doesn't help. ATHR stays unimpressed at a certain N1%. You have to disable ATHR to force the engines to idle.

This behaviour is not reproduceable. As I said before I assume there must be a context with the weather engine(s). On flights with no weather (no ASN and FSUIPC weather settings off) I haven't been confronted with this kind of problem so far.

Regards
René

[jeehell]

Varying winds do cause this kind of problem, even on the real ATHR...
I really suggest you limit FS/P3D to light or moderate turbulence at maximum. More than that will really cause issues (the turbulence is much too strong in FS).

JL

Hi JL!

First of all, thanks for your great job. I am old PM and AST user, but I must tell, that your FMGS is more profesional then others.
With last update B44.2 works everything fine, except elevator trim not reset to zero, when AC touch down.
And one question. How to reset Appr phase - back to normal flight speed. In real A320 just input new FL on PERF page and that deactivate appr phase (speed go up to CRZ)?

Best regards
iperne

I will try to solve the elevator trim reset soon.
Regarding the APPR PHASE reset to CRZ, I thought this was already implemented, maybe it's not yet released or it is still buggy, I will check that.

Terr on ND assignment -- Hi JL -- did you change the logic assignments for Terr on ND (captain and FO?) ...

JeeHell has changed the logic, because the Terr on ND switch is a momentary switch.
For me, this works fine. Are you sure that your switch is a momentary switch too?

[EdwardInBeijing]

Exactly same thing!!!

Strange routing problem... the same as the other.. but I've had it a long time and just put up with it. I wonder if it has anything to do with navdata setup. I'm using aerosoft but can't seem to get the latest actually working.

On that point, I have MCDU's on 1 pc, MIP panels on another, and server on a third machine, Does Navdata need to be on all of them?

I've installed it using the app into both the root directory and the navdata directory on all three machines but no new version shows up in the system.

Additionally, I have another problem the same as @Brianwilliamson, where no navdata is showing when selected from the FCU. Wondering if this is also related to navdata

[OmniAtlas]

JeeHell has changed the logic, because the Terr on ND switch is a momentary switch.
For me, this works fine. Are you sure that your switch is a momentary switch too?

I do not have enough momentary switches so the terrain on ND has been assigned an on-off switch. Is it possible to choose the previous logic as an option as it now does not work correctly? Thanks.

[jeehell]

Unfortunately no, I cannot have split versions for single users. The real logic is using a momentary switch here.

It may be possible to do some little electronic circuit for less than a couple bucks to do "edge detection" on your switch so it will act as momentary (pulse on each press).

[masterp]

I have no problem with Terr on ND. Use Push event to turn on, Push Event (Release) for turn it off.

Hello JL,
I'm really happy of your great software, but unfortunately from a few days I'm having strange behaviour of PFD a few minutes after take off. It freezes for a few seconds not following joystick input and after that it starts banking, making an uncontrollable tonneau ending to crash. Same thing happens with autopilot inserted. Any ideas please. I reinstalled B42.2 software with no success and I was thinking to install an old version to see if I have the same behaviour. To run the software I'm using 3 computers: the server that runs P3D v3.1 with all skalarki hardware connected and joysticks and pedals to usb ports. The second computer with PFDs and NDs and the third computer with EWD, SD and the 2 fmgs. Thanks in advance to anyone can help me.

I do not know how long it will take , but will try to build it as soon as possible

I just happened across this thread and thought I would throw in some info for anyone worried that this file is a virus.

First, the first link buenthead discovered is definitely and miserably *junk*. There are scads of sites out there that serve no other purpose than to spoof visitors into downloading some worthless pathetic "fixer" software, usually asking for money at some point (but not always....just getting spyware on your PC is worthwhile for many of these sites). Just look at it.....all the information is vague and general. You could insert ANY file into that page and it would fit...which is exactly what they do. I work in IT...these junk sites are set up with "template" pages that simply regenerate to include frequently searched terms.

The second link appears as though it MAY have been generated based on user-provided content, but there's still no way to be sure. Even if it is, there is no other identifying factor to the file aside from its filename. "ios.exe" is such a general term, and keep in mind that Apple's OS is also called "IOS". Chances are, whatever "ios.exe" may (or may not) have been provided to that website is not actually the ios.exe that we are concerned about.

This brings me to another point.......

Any respectable security-oriented website that handles a database of files is going to include the file SIGNATURE...usually an MD5 hash sum. This is a string of letters & numbers that is mathematically derived from the size and contents of the file in question.

Cockpitsonic, FSUIPC, Skalarki modules
EHID Drivers

On Client pc i had
EW/D, SD, Stby Instruments

How is the best scenario for you ?

[jeehell]

The distribution looks good. There is no reason the ECAM worked before and not anymore after networking, since it is all still plugged on the server.
The ecam application on the network is only a display, the hardware input is treated on the server computer no matter what (even when hardware is plugged in remote computer: the actions are sent to the server, treated, and the EIS then show what is required).

Hi guys
Can you complete all lines in MCDU INIT page 2 manually? With import key some lines are incomplete...

[Maddin91]

No there are some lines you can't edit.
But for me the import works. Be sure to do MCDU initialization in following order:
INIT A, F-PLN, RAD/NAV, INIT B, PERF
Reason for that: To calculate Alternate Fuel, Extra Fuel and so on the MCDU needs to know the route first. When filling INIT B without doing F-PLN first, it can't calculate extra fuel etc..

I have upgraded from version 44.2 to 44.4 today. My ACC Press gauge stops working.
In the IPC console offset 73A7 delivers no value anymore. Is there something changed?

In the overhead the LED for Cargo Smoke FWD "DISCH" is permanently illuminated.
Even three LEDs, which I have assigned to MISC6 light continuously.
The LEDs are connected to a FDS-Sys 3 Board.

I'm going to start IIT Creator and save again.
Let's see if this helps.

[Fritz]

After I generated a new IIT.dnt with IITcreator the error with the permanent illuminating leds is corrected.
The problem with the offset 73A7 still remains.

Is the function already implemented that the trim wheels returns to 0 when landing?
I use the TL from Skalarki. With this it is not yet functioning.

[filippoporcari]

the trim resetting to 0 was implemented since some time ago then it stopped resetting...jl is aware of this.
i'm also using skalarki hw but the problem is not the hw: if u look the fctl page the trim does not reset in fmgs.

we're talking about the trim resetting to zero RIGHT AFTER TOUCHDOWN.
it was correctly functioning before...not now: if u check the flight controls page on the system display the trim stays at the value used at touchdown and pf course skalarki hardware remains there and is not resetting.
how can your tq reset the trim to zero if the input is not given by fmgs?

Hello, I've received my new FDS momentary switches for the GPWS / G/S -- the switch is now wired up.

I notice on startup the GPWS LED remains turned on for several seconds.

Is this normal behaviour in the real aircraft?

[OmniAtlas]

Flying with approach mode activated, then -> direct to waypoint

approach mode is deactivated, and speed restrictions reset to waypoint calculated on descent.

Should approach mode mode remain activated?

[jeehell]

HI

When you do the EGPWS tests, yes the LED will lit up for several seconds.
As for the APPR mode, you are talking abuot the FMGS one (not the FCU APPR bitton)?
It probably depends on which point the DIR TO is done? is it part of the APPR procedure?

JL

[OmniAtlas]

Hello JL,the red GPWS light is turned on when power is applied to the aircraft and ILS on the overhead is not aligned.

When you you align ILS on the mcdu, the light extinguishes.

I will ill have to double check, but how does the aircraft know the way point is part of the approach procedure? Does it have to be part of a STAR?

hi masterp, when flying circuits at an altitude below 3000 ft u have to switch off TERR on the overhead egpws section. the egpws logic of the 320 is pretty complex, jl explained it some time ago here, so if u climb at an altitude lower that 3000ft u have to switch off TERR if u don't want the callouts.

Same issue here! Not regularly but often. No idea why.
And sometimes the "opposite": in ATHR mode engines don't spool up after the actual speed is going below the speed set in FCU.

regards
fil

[OmniAtlas]

Hi Fil -- I am not too sure why this is happening.

The aircraft is configured correctly, the weights prior to take off have been calculated with PFPX and loaded with TOPCAT.
The aircraft is in managed mode, and approach mode has been activated, as confirmed in the MCDU.

I will try and fly the same route and see if it happens again. Perhaps a strange bug.

[filippoporcari]

ben, assuming that the aircraft is correctly programmed with consistant data for the approach...
...u should consider some aerodinamics: 320 is well known as other aicraft (applies also to 737) to be not as good is descending and slowing down.
when planning the descent and approach crews add some 10nm to decelerate to green dot...then consider the slope of the final descent to decide how and when to configure. just an example: if u capture a "steep glide" (maybe 3.5°) with the aircraft clean at green dot speed then select flaps 1 u could not be able to decelerate to placard speed to select flaps 2...only way is inducing more drag lowering the gear.
this applies to many aircraft...and is part of the pilot job to anticipate it.
this is the only thing coming in my mind about this...assuming the aircraft is properly programmed.
regards
fil

[masterp]

Also tailwind could make your aircraft hard for decelerate.
so lets say if you have 5knots tailwind, so better to add more additional 5nm gap to decelerate, and extend the config 5nm earlier than normal.; or even lower the gear as fil mentioned. So it is pilot job :)

[masterp]

Has anyone experienced Windshear alert with FMGS?
I only have the warning from Active Sky Next, but not from FMGS.

[OmniAtlas]

Hi Fil -- I think the only difference i made in the flight plan was changing the Cost Index...instead of using 30 like I usually do, I selected 80 or 100. Could that make a significant difference?

Please try on your end if you have time, thanks.

MasterP -- windshear is simulated.

Anyone else having problems with increasing brake temperatures after landing and rollout in the latest build?
Seen even with autobrake LOW.

/Stephen

[filippoporcari]

@ben: the cost index has nothing to do with that....CI plays a role in the speed fmgs uses in climb and cruise. as i reported never experience this and i cannot reproduce it.
@SSO: the brake temperature increasing after landing during rollout and taxi seems fully correct now....even using autobrakes at low it's fully correct to have brake temperature rising to some 300°!
in the past this was not simulated at all and it was not correct.
all the real 320 pilots flying my sim found consistent the brake temperatures displayed on SD.

Ok - I see it continuing to rise past 450 deg if I do nothing...

[filippoporcari]

as it is simulated now it implies the pilot makes the right decisions (autobrake setting according to rwy lenght, autobrake use time, manual braking, reversers use) as real pilots are supposed to....according to next flight delay time and so on.
if u just set autobrakes and let autobrakes do their action until the aircraft comes to a full stop it's pretty normal to have temperatures rising to 400° or above.

[filippoporcari]

SSO the maximum brake temperature is not reached AT touchdown but during rollout and taxi in...this applies to every aircraft its due to the carbon material used in brakes components which keep heating up after the huge friction applied in the braking actions.
just an example of operational: some old school captains preferred an hard and short braking action right after touchdown and use the rollout as a sort of braking cooling action due to the air passing thru the brakes' elements.

Hi Fil, I've retried the same flight to LOWW and the aircraft again did not slow to approach speech. This time even when operator mode was selected to slow down the speed the aircraft did not respond!

miguel as far as i see u're still in clean configuration....that's not correct...as i reported it's aerodinamics....if u look at any fcom (even other aircrafts) u should extend some slats/flaps BEFORE catching the glide.
otherwise only way to add some drag is deploying the gear.
airbus describe the approach on its fcoms: before intercepting the loc flaps 1 and speed; one dot before catching the glide flaps 2 and speed....then gear...then continue to full configuration.

fil, you're right with your notes!
But one thing I really do not understand: With Miguel's flaps configuration it's obvious that the aircraft will accelerate on GS. But why does N1 stays on more than 40%? Why doesn't N1 go down to IDLE in this circumstance (with an active ATHR)? As I wrote I sometimes face the same problem (although Flaps 2 set)!

Hi Fil - I am unable to drop the stats/flaps because the aircraft maintains a speed of 250 kts - this is despite having approach mode activated (done so automatically by the aircraft).

Ben

[masterp]

Hi Ben,

It looks like your aircraft was catching the profile from above Glide Slope, and it can not reduce its approach spd.
I attached the chart of ILS 34 LOWW... can you try again to manually active approach phase earlier and at initial approach fix SNU got the green dot 4000 feet first (may be make a holding pattern if required), and try to catch the ILS at 3000 feet. Then 10nm ILS Flap 1, G/S 1 dot Flap 2, Gear down, F3, Flap full.
I will try this approach when I back home and report later.
http://www.mycockpit.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=11295&stc=1

[OmniAtlas]

Hi masterp; I was following the descent profile calculated by FMGS -

1. would this this be incorrect (JL has said this needs work) and of course in the real world you will be relying on ATC and charts.

2. Approach mode is also automatically selected (20 NM from touch down if I remember) - would this be incorrect in this case and it would need to be activated earlier? In the real world when would it be an appropriate time to activate approach mode - how would you know - or are you dependent again on ATC, spacing between aircraft, etc.

Regards.

[filippoporcari]

Ben there are many parts of your way of flying that approach which are wrong from a pilot point of view.
let's start with VNAV: vnav in not yet correct 100% of times in JL soft as per JL statement. even in the real aircraft VNAV may not be 100% correct....from this comes the GOLDEN RULE of any pilot (mostly airbus pilots): think ahead of the aircraft...and make mental checks of distance and altitude (as any pilot would do flying any aircraft).
the "3" rule is THE rule used by any pilot to judge if the path is correct.
most of the times i used a managed descent in JL soft making my checks i discovered i would be HIGH and FAST on approach...that's why in due time i reverted to selected vertical mode and selected speed to achieve the correct path/speed...this is pilot job also when flying a total computer based aircraft like 320!
so the point is:u should probably not have started that approach in that conditions (altitude, speed, configuration)...of course u can always deploy the gear to get some drag...but it's not considered a "clean" manouvre even if always usable.
regards
fil

[romeow]

Fil, you are right again. But it doesn't explain the fact (have a look again on Miguel's screenshots) that ATHR doesn't reduce N1 even if it's indicated by the blue arcs! Why does N1 stay at 43 %? To my mind that is the main aspect of Miguel's problem - and mine as well (from time to time). Sometimes I assume that some specific weather conditions may have an influence on this item.
Regards
René

[filippoporcari]

renè as already answered i don't know....
maybe jl fmgs can't work properly being the condition such abnormal.
i don't even know if the real aircraft would do that or not because a pilot would never bring the aircraft is such a situation!
all i can say is that in all the approaches i flown, with a correctly configurated aircraft, i never experienced such problems.
logic hidden behind a complex feature like a-thr, especially in a complex aircraft like a 320 (just thing for example at the ground speed mini logic which is perfectly modelled in JL soft), may be very hard to be achieved in a simulator and are maybe based on the correct configuration of the aircraft as it should be expected from a pilot.
we should correctly understand the aircraft logics and fly it in the correct way if we want it to react and behave as expected.
wind may be a factor renè but in ben's situation it was a head wind of 6kt which is like flying in wind calm conditions (wind is considered calm at or below 5kt)
cheers
fil

[masterp]

Yes, VNAV managed descend and constrain calculation is not yet 100% correct with Jeehell FMGS and even with real aircraft.
So we should always ready for the vertical speed manually / OP Des with selected speed for the approach (also that is the job of pilot in real life as Fil mentioned :) )

I think it will take a long time for JL to fix this. But hope it will be done soon.

To JL: As I remember you said that the value in AP/FBW has 0 impact...however I played with it and found that,
- if both slide to full left, then the stick very very sensitive
- if both slide at 0, the stick (Logitech) still a little over sensitive.
- if both slide at around + 13->15, then the result is acceptable. movement is so smooth, I did not get floating when flare anymore :D

Perhaps JL can comment? I was able to slow down to approach speed the last flight by using operator speed controlled. I think somehow it is linked up to VNAV and ignoring the descent mode.

In other news --- P3D 3.2 has been released and includes a built in 'failure' OS --

SimOperator, a native Instructor Operating Station (IOS), enabling real-time scenario creation and modification. Instructors can now control the simulation in real-time by freezing users, introducing failures, and much more.

[romeow]

Perhaps JL can comment? I was able to slow down to approach speed the last flight by using operator speed controlled.

Same here! No problem to slow down the aircraft after deactivating ATHR and using the throttles instead.

[jeehell]

ATHR in speed mode is sensitive to speed variations, maybe a bit too sensitive, I'd need to check.
In approach phase, it IS tuned to be more sensitive anyway (faster reaction in case of negative windshear).
