A320 FMGS B45

Hi
Under what circumstances NAV ACCURANCY DOWNGRADED and UPGRADING again?

Hyi guys!

Please don´t mix up procedures and systems:
The A320 FMS calculates a position tolerance.
Navigation accuracy HIGH means, the calculated position tolerance is within the required navigation performance (RNP), LOW if the tolerance is greater than RNP.

If the system switches from HIGH to LOW, you get:
NAV ACCUR DOWNGRADE (and vice versa with UPGRADE)

What you do with that message tells you your procedure. You won´t fly a go-around if you do an ILS approach (because you follow the ILS signal), maybe you have to fly one on RNAV/RNP appraoches (where you rely on GPS).


By the way: B45 is great. This is unbelievable perfectly done. Thank you JL!!

Kind regards
Michael

The issue with ILS and RWYs is due to mis alignment between the navdata from Aerosoft/navigraph and the facilities inside FS/P3D.
To counter that, when compiling the navdata bin files, my soft reads directly the FS/P3D BGL files to correct the navdata with ILS/RWY lat,lon,course.
With P3D V3, now everythign has to be put outside P3D folder, this could be the issue, particularly if your problem is only with addon sceneries.
The problem is also present with Runways which changed QFU, or which were later added, so the original runway naming changed to for example R/L or C.

Hello, any help with that?

[Migelito]

Does anyone know when the

'COM VHF1 EMITTING' on the SD is triggered?

Should it always display with PTT? Or only if PTT has been held down for several seconds?

Thanks.

If VHF emitting more than 60s.

i don't have my fcom in my hands now: what i'm sure it DOES NOT happen every time ptt is pressed for normal operations. if i remember correctly it appears if u have a stuck mike/ptt button.(ie button pressed for long time)

Cheers, thanks -- the PTT event is now programmed as a PUSH and RELEASE trigger. I do not get the VHF1 emitting message now.

Now to figure out how to link it to an ACP/RNP.

JL -- you mentioned your software will be compatible with FDS ACP?

Noted, you must be a real world pilot.

As far as I know, FDS does not make plug'n'play ACP panels. If you can assign each buttons directly in IITCreator (using an FDS IO board) then yes.

Thank you JL -- I will correspond with FDS and see what they can offer. Otherwise it looks like Skalarki is the only vendor that offers a PnP version?

On a side note -- a small request JL -- would it be possible to implement a PFD/ND / etc. display screen ratio lock? I would like to maintain the original ratio of the window when resizing (resize in the corner only with double arrows) but have difficulties maintaining the correct X and Y measurements as intended. It would be fantastic if this feature could be implemented. Thank you!

Ben, you can manually change the size (width and height) of any EIS app by going in the folder c:\A320FMGS\EIS and there you look for the files such as PFD.ini, FOPFD.ini etc... Inside those files, you can set the top left corner position (TOP and LEFT entries) and width height as well. This is in pixel (x=0 y=0 is the top left corner of your screen).

Hi all

since the new version in correlation with IOProfiler 5.0 I got this message:



I thought I have seen one post to that similar error message but can't find it anymore. It says "index is out of the array section", when pressing Bat1 or Bat2 on my OverHeadPannel (Skalarki). Does someone has a clue what that could be? Is the first time that I get this error...

Best regards
Stefan

EDIT:
Problem solved. Again a quick and high quality support by Marcin (Skalarki). Had a wrong setting in the xml file....

Best regards
Stefan
