A320 FMGS B46

[jeehell]

Hi all,

At last, after many months of development and testing, the new version is available!
http://www.jeehell.org/A320FMGS_B46.0.exe
or use the auto udpater.
What's new:
-Completely reworked LNAV and VNAV. MCDU predictions should be much better, as well as DES computations and tracking.
-Reworked the RNAV approaches.
-Completely reworked ND route display.
-Reworked flight model.
-Reworked many FMA modes arming/engaging
-Corrected FSUIPC Mode C bug with IVAP/vPilot
-Sovled many FPLN entry/revision bugs
-Added a direct sim1.dll fuel flow and friction fix (in a FSX/P3D addon module called simpatcher.dll, you must allow this module to run). You do not need FSUIPC for the friction fix.
-Added engine and airframe icing simulation. Icing is detected only when you use AS16 or ASN (I do not trust the FSX/P3D icing model). The effect will be maximum N1 reduction (to simulate lower thrust, this may change on future implemntation), and a revolutionnary technique to reduce lift/increase drag (this techinque is not used by anyone else yet, as far as I know. It directly works on the coefficient of lift/drag of the model, not a simulated wright addition or spoilers extension).
-Solved some hardware trim issues
-Reworked spoilers system (smoother effect, less abrupt when only small amount of spoilers are out)
-Added ISIS initialisation sequence.
-Reworked ISIS speed/altitude tape font size
-Added software interface panels for : THR LVR, SPLRs, FLAPS, ACPs, LDG GEAR.
-Corrected some issues in EHID modules, and added individual calibration features for all potentiometers.
-Corrected a few ECAM warnings which were not correct
-Corrected an issue with some lower overhead variables in SIOC module overwriting other variables.
-Added joystick POV buttons support. Those will work only on momentary buttons (i.e. not on toggle switches like lights)
-Added sound for AP solenoid engagement (same sound for now as the relay clacking, but the sound file can be changed later for a better sound, if anyone can provide it).
-Implemented a better magnetic variation model inside the software. This should improve accuracy on procedures (coherent A/C hdg as on the charts as well are better aligned LOC on some airports). This should mean you do not have to update the FSX/P3D magnetic model anymore (at least not for my software).
-Reworked installer package. Particularly, added an option to run FSX/P3D on a remote PC from FMGS server (seems to help reduce FPS hit in some cases)
-Better engine out handling (rudder trim, flight model, etc...)

Looks like a lot of new features and JL has outdone himself again.


Anyone having issues with Navigraph October 2016 release? I've installed FMGS from new and I am unable to generate the bin files.

I have even tried manually copying the navrecord.dat as per the new documentation.

What does the log says in C:/a320FMGS/logs/logNDB.txt ?

JL

[OmniAtlas]

No logNDB.txt in that folder.

FMGS_configure also crashes on closing, I think this may be related to the new CPFlight module.

[jeehell]

Maybe this one is still in the navdata folder then?
FMGS config crash on exit is known and has no effect on the saving etc...
