Having experimented with Jeehell some months ago I found that I need to do some hardware changes to my sim to fully transfer from AST to Jeehell, one of the main work areas is to replace the FDT input and output cards which are very good but no longer supported.
I am trying to keep the sim operational right up to transfer day as I get a lot of visitors so careful planning is needed!
I have moved all my encoders from FDT to Leo Bodnar cards, they now work fine across the network to FSUIPC.
My axes for throttle, flaps and spoilers are currently not on the FS computer, I will put those onto a Bodnar card but I not sure if Jeehell can pick these up across the network, perhaps I should move these to the FS computer but that means I will have to set them up again in AST until I can move everything over.
I am expecting that Jeehell will recognise FDS Sys cards for the overhead and the one I have just bought for the MIP and pedestal inputs and outputs. Also I am expecting that my FDS MCDU, my Open Cockpits MCDU and my other Open Cockpits input and display cards will be OK.
My FDS FCU using the G2 interface card is an unknown at the moment, this was based on a CPFlight card until FDS moved to G3 card by Tekworx.
Coming to specific questions:
1. Is the "Expert Guide" available in English? I know enough French to see that it has a lot of information I will need which is not in the "Advanced User Setup" on the website?
2. For my FBW I currently use FSCommunicator which is superb and can be tuned to get many of the A320 characteristics right. Unfortunately it is no longer sold and supported and I have had to tweak things to get it to work with P3D. I don't know how many of the parameters are in the Jeehell FBW, if it is not yet as comprehensive I wonder if I can still use FS Communicator with Jeehell, it is not installed on the FS computer and writes to FSUIPC across the network. The joysticks are therefore not on the FS computer?
Any help from other users will be welcome; acting on guidance from a previous post I have ordered a new graphics card for the PFD and ND displays.
