FSX & Magenta ??

[brianwilliamson]

Thank you Thomas for that good information, and I will do further testing today. The Simboards were an issue as I then deleted the whole Simboard program and re-installed it. The flights were ok then, and I did 5 straight ILS approaches perfectly and the sixth one did not lock onto the Glide Slope properly, so will need to look into why that happened.
It is so time consuming to find where the problems arise, but we have to find the answers by sheer hard work, regardless !!
I will post any further findings as I go.
Cheers...............Brian W.

Just so you can see what happened on the last approach, here is a picture of the little circle that locked onto the ILS instead of the normal indicator, which resulted in a glide slope further down the runway.

Pete Thanks

> Correct. 18 fps is quite good for FSX -- is that what you are seeing, on average?

I have looked at 22 frames

So mostly seing around 16 to 22 .

> There are no connection problems showing up at all, judging by these logs. Did you still notice something awry, or were these just lucky flights?

I have those awrys still with on Model ( Overland A380 )
If this on comes not up in GS straight to runway you newer
can touch down very well !!
But i can`t make that with PM`s Airbus AP - it`s impossible
because i get those small left and right turns shortly from Runway

The stupid thing is if i shut down the PM Airbus AP
and set the Planes own AP on - i go down the GS stable like a rock
and setting off exactly on centerline from Runway

I tried tousend things ( chanched comlete airfile and aircraft.cfg
flown witout any panel ( no gauges there at all )
but ............no chance.
So we started this tread and now i can be shure it is not the conection !

So i don`t know anymore - looks like i have to give up now ,
because that can not be the thing to trie 5 days and still got the same results..........
Hopefully there coming up new builds in near future.......
maybe i have some luck and the querrys are gone than................??

Will see

regards
and thanks for your help

It sounds like the data provided to PM about the A380 is not good enough. Did you make the file yourself, or get it from someplace else? The A380 is that new I'm surprised that there are reliable files for it, yet.

To see if it is just a conflict with the A/P not understanding your A380, try a model which is already well configured in PM aircraft files.

What is the way you switch OFF the panel gauges?

Did you switch OFF the FSX FbW?

[brianwilliamson]

Yes Thomas, no fly by wire and no panels.

Thomas ,

> What is the way you switch OFF the panel gauges?

Oh , i just delete every entry in the Panel file and leave the
Window 00 - but just the Panel BMP file to load !
And i leave the eyepoint section aswell !

So i only have the Panel bitmap to show up - without any gauges !

But that dosen`t help at all i am shure now it has to do wit PM´s AP
Maybe Enrico can look in the Glide code and can make the plane use the Glide
with a straight Heading to the Runway.
As allways as i take a look at the Airbus ND in Glide ( lets say the plane is about
3 NM from runway ) it is not in a straight heading to the runway. I thick that causes
the swinging , because the plane tries to center that mostly at the last 2000 feet
what causes the prob.

The own xml AP off the plane tries to centers the Glide at about 3000 -4000 feet
and fies " rock stable" down the Glide and sets off exactly at the centerline from the runway.
You can not play around with rudders to try a good landing it`s allmost impossible
it`s a big plane - for that the AP has to do that work , but has to do it exactly.

So if there small differences or special things coded in it i think you get problems
with that kind off a big plane.
Don`t forget the plane is mutch bigger than a Jumbo Jet and therfore i assume
it has to do with the AP.
He is not delicate enough for that.

And to say - i have tose small left right jerkeys in every plane Airbus and Boeing ,too
but other planes are smaller and so you have a little more room at it dosen`t hurt that mutch , you still on the runway and you can head the AC to center the runway.

Would be nice for the next builds you can throw a look in the Glide code
i think there can be done something.

I had older Builds with other cods in ; they where mutch exacter therefore ,
but they that old i think they not pretty useable anymore.........

And i will clear here : I AM NOT HERE TO FIGHT WITH PM OR ATTACK THEM ;
JUST TO POST MY FINDINGS ,

to help me and others who have simillar probs to push PM looking in it.

And to say again - if you want me to test them as beta i will glad to do.

By search on different forums I found interesting things special about your Overland Airbus models.
- not really realistic flight dynamics
- auto-trim works much to slow, extremly with Flaps set
- A/C goes to fast down (sinkrate) with Flaps >1 to full
- special problems on Autoland

Did you try the default FSX A32x with your setup, no panel and FbW disabled ?

The flights were ok then, and I did 5 straight ILS approaches perfectly and the sixth one did not lock onto the Glide Slope properly, so will need to look into why that happened.

I the case that Brian (see above), Jonathan and me special THOSE problems don't see and as well never in Boeing suite saw I think it is may be something on your setup related.

Also the Airbussoftware is not designed for A380, we don't have anything for this A/C.
The software supports A319 - A340.

And please don't forget that ALL FSX A/C's has to be updated for the different FSX updates, SP1; SP2; Acceleration because the updated Simconnect versions works very different, Pete can sing a song of this.
If the A/C's you use are not designed for the newer FSX updates you can get strange behaviors.

What's about pmFileCheck logs from all Clients, did you run it?

[Mario Görs]

Thomas ,

> - not really realistic flight dynamics

I told i did other ones they not bad for me !

> What's about pmFileCheck logs from all Clients, did you run it?

Shows all up normal results did it more times so i think it`s OK

But now i will stop this discussion because i writing and writing
but the results dosen`t bring me forward.

Just to say for your Question`s :
I am in MS Flightsimming over 10 years now and i think using PM Software
since around 2002 ( Not know exactly at the moment , but around this time )
so i can handle stoff with gauges and airfiles and AC .cfg`s ect.

But this discussion is banging out in "searching a tree in a big forrest"
but getting no results - so what now ??

I don`t know............for me i am shure it has to do with PM`s software
but i have what i have ( this software , and can not do anything more )
so it is at it is...and all those writing mails here bought me..........NOTHING!

PS:
> - A/C goes to fast down (sinkrate) with Flaps >1 to full

Changed this on too they allso not bad now !

> - special problems on Autoland

this isn`t the true i can handle it pretty well !
