Hi JL and guys,

Everything works great, I setup the MCDUs and the aircraft, start the engines and takeoff, a few feet off the ground everything is working fine, but a few seconds into the takeoff phase, the second with the FO displays and FCU and overhead freezes and I cannot even restart the computer without manually holding down the power button, but the main computer with the server continues to run without any hiccups. Any idea on this issue?

Hi Jose, have you tried running all the JL modules from one computer first to see if there are any issues?

There is no problem with JeeHell, now I believe is my second computer, maybe it's running out of memory in the process, I'll have to double check. One more question though, I am using the BU0836X for inputs and the opencockpits output card with SIOC for LED outputs, but I ran into one small issue. There is not an offset for SPD, HDG, VSI and ALT inc and dec, therefore I cannot assign it through FSUIPC. Any ideas on how to make this work?

Hi Jean Luc,
More stable version than I have seen before.
Seems like the Descent planning is improved.
One thing I have noticed a couple of times is on SIDS with Intercept as part of the procedure, the math does not find a correct solution and the interception point is way off. May be many 100 nm out. I guess it all comes down to the expected turn radius, which perhaps is too high thereby leading to a "non-solution" of the intercept equation, because there is no problem following the SID when in the air.
Tonight I had the issue at PAJN rwy 08 on the JUN5 departure towards with transition to LVD VOR (south east of PAJN).

Another thing I noticed when flying the Autopilot CAT I ILS11Y at PAKT with a wind of 140/13 was that the approach was 2/3 of a dot off on the leeward side of the approach. It was constant.
Could be a matter of different magnetic heading between P3D and JeeHell DB - due to being so far north. Dont quite know.
Thoughts anyone?

I have a question to the LDG ELEV AUTO function at the Lights Panel of the Overhead section. I use Skalarki IO. Can i use 10k Poti or do i have to use a switch knob with several positions?

Hi,

@SSO: I'll try to give it a try when I have the time.

@Space: I do not know how this particulat encoder is handled by Skalarki profiler. You'll have to ask him...

Hi JL,
can't configure my thrust lever. Using Saitek Quadrant and "Use one axis and switch acts as full reverse option in that window it works fine. When going to configure controls to set up TOGA/FLX/CL/IDLE it works but when trying to configure REV IDLE or MAX REV I cant set anything, before it countered to negative value when pressing the switch after idle position. Idle is max value of 65535 and TOGA 0.

Can someone can give me a hint?
Best regards
Stefan

Stefan,

As you can see in my other post on the subject it is VERY tricky.
What I have ended up doing is:
Set Idle to 1900 +/- 2000.
Set reverse idle to -2000 +/-1900.
When setting reverse idle, the counter will run 0, 1000, 2000, 3000 etc to 65000. You need to press the APPLY button when it passes the 2000. I think I had to try 20 times per throttle to get my timing exactly right.
That is why I requested that the values could be manually overrided rather than only reading the pot input.

Have fun
