A320 FMGS B46

[filippoporcari]

do u use any trim input totti?
sorry maybe for asking again: u did a clean install of jl?
may sound silly: b46 uses a different flight model and the aircraft model has a folder named differently than the old one....are u sure u're using the new aircraft loaded in p3d?

So just to be sure, you did not select cockpitsonic hardware support during install (nor any manufacturer which you do not use)?
because this could be a reason for a blocked trim...

No chance, still up and downs and crazy elevators in the outside view..... Hmm, no idea... I think,I will go back to 45.4.......

Same here!

Setup:
FSX
FSX weather, clear sky
no topcat
original aircraft.cfg (B46)
fuel (5,8 t) and payload (11,5 t) as loaded by FSX, no modification by myself

I had to trim the aircraft with extreme DN 3,4! With "normal" trim values TO wasn't possible (nose up as soon as thrust levers in FLX detent!) But during the flight, normal trim values (around 0)

Here my report
Climb and descent always with VS 2100.
Oscillation during climb and descent +/ (- 150 ft (with N1 oscillation as well)
Oscillation during cruize on FL +/- 400 (with N1 oscillation as well)

Climb (CL) FL150 = stable (st)
Cruise (CR) FL150= oscillation (o)
CL FL220= o
CR FL220 = st
CL FL250 = o
CR FL250 = st
Descent (DES) FL 220 = o
CR FL220 = o
DES FL 150 = o
CR FL150 = o
DES FL90 = st
CR FL90 = st
CL 150 = st
CR 150 = st
CL FL220 = o
CR FL220 = o
CL FL250 = o
CR FL250 = o
DES FL220 = st
CR FL220 = o
DES FL150 = st
CR FL150 = o
DES FL 90 = st
CR FL90 = st


A question of accident or is there any correlation (e.g. to the calibration of the throttle detents)?

BTW
I've got the same visual impression as Totti: even an oscillation of +/- 100 ft causes disproportionate up and down movements when you have a look outside. Probably we are spoiled by the smoothness of the B45 version

Hello Fil and thanks for trying to help me....... yes, clean install, B46-model used in flight...... on main-PC: FMGS-server and only captain FCDU, only clicked FSUIPC when installed, no hardware checked. On client installed rest of FMGS B 46, no hardware checked. client also finds server. No topcat and no external weather. I reinstalled P3D and also clean FSUIPC.INI. Takeoff and climbing is smooth. But trim is ill 3.8- 4.0 DN. At 9000 feet up and downs and thrust changes also up and down when AP is on. Then tried to climb higher and everything is smooth again.When reaching AP-altitude, f. e. FL 130, up and down again.

Hello jeehell, first thanks for trying to help me and for your work. No hardware support during install,only checked FSUIPC. please read, what I have written to Fil..... I hope, we will find a solution together, because some more guys have the same problem like me.......

[Totti]

Maybe up and down problem is solved....... I thought, it was a problem with the trim. So I checked my hardware again..... I am using an USB-Board, which is like a joystick with 110 buttons. One button was blocked and this button controlled the elevator in P3D-Controls. I deleted this button in the p3d-control.... Now, I have normal pitch trim. The first testflight was smooth..... So guys, look at all your hardware in the P3D-Controls... maybe there is one joystickbutton controlling the trim! Remove and try... I will do more testflights....

this is the third thing i suggested after topcat and weather
if u had trim inputs....or better check in p3d assignments that ANY KIND OF FLIGHT CONTROL is not assigned....by default p3d/fsx assign commands to joys or joy cards inputs!!!!
totti i think your problem is solved....as i told u i haven't anything special in my setup and it's perfectly working!

Yes, i seems so... everything is smooth........ Many thanks for your help. Now, another question... Is it possible to give the aircraft another livery (texture)?

[filippoporcari]

sorry i have no experience about liveries...i never look at the aircraft from outside view so never changed liveries

No prob, you can use any livery for the PA .mdl.
