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).

Yes, but is there a way to resize the windows using the mouse with out changing the XY ratio? For example if I enlarge Y, X will resize accordingly.

Windows is is also bringing Linux/ bash compatability and I am wondering if this could bring future UNIX versions of your software.

Thank you.

Hi JL,

I have some questions:
1./ Normally on approach with AP disconnect, there are a warning sound and triple click sound by aircraft itself (Approach capability downgraded)

In JL FMGS after AP disconnect, the warning sound comes on and the only way to cancel it is by press the Master Warn button (triple click sound comes after that). I think it is not correct Right ?

2./ When aircraft in CLB-Nav mode, if we select heading or change to OP CLB mode, there are also a triple click sound. I think FMGS does not have "triple click" sound in this case, is that correct?

3./ Modify speed in MCDU: I am in CRZ mode, I come to DES mode to modify the Speed, but seem that FMGS does not allow, it only allows you to change Cost Index. I think the managed speed can not modified, is that correct?

Thanks alot JL.

Hyi JL, hyi masterp, hyi all!

1.) I expirienced the same, so I had a look:
- If AP off from the pilots: warnings are temporary (AP OFF message for 9s, master warning for 3s and cavalary charge. If you press APTO p/b OR master warning p/b within 1,5sec, you can stop it immediately)
- If Ap off from failure, warnings are continous until pressing master warning p/b (ECAM warning: AUTO FLT AP OFF)
2.) A vertical nav mode needs a lateral nav mode. If you go into a lateral selected mode like HDG, the FMGS does not know how you will
continue (and can not calculate a TOC, TOD, ...) and changes the vertical also in selected mode -> Normal behaviour. This is a so called
mode reversion. Each mode reversion is accompanied by a triple click.
3.) Correct

NEW question from my side:
In flight, Ap off: When i push the APTO p/b, I should have priority as long as I hold the button down. When I release it, normal ops should be there again.
In my setup the priority stays on, even if I release the button (this is normal, if I press the button more than 40s, which I do not do)
Just can get rid off it after landing.
Is this a software item or did I mixed up something ?

Thanks and greets

I believe after holding down the button for 40 seconds the controls are latched (locked to your side) so the light will also be up. The PNF can try and press and hold the autopilot off PB to take over control again.

Probably you not assigned release action fot this button.

@totom: Thanks, I mixed a none up in.

@OmniAtlas: Also thanks, but to say it carefully: The thumbnail is incorrect. Just trust the FCOM .

Jean Luc,

I am experiencing a MCDU database display error. The MCDU ends up in a state where it says please report, so this I will do

Arrival is programmed into ESSA on a NILUG1P for 19R. When changing this to 19L it is like the change is not registered and the list of STARS relevant for 19L is not presented. I can change to 01L and back to 19R no problem, but not to 19L.
It is Ok as initial choice.
I am running the latest AIRAC for april
