A320 FMGS B47

Hello JL,

First, a big big thank you for your new and amazing update! It´s so great what you do for the A320 Cockpitbuildercommunity and that´s for low! @ the moment all works fine for me!

Id´like to use my selfmade WX Panel with my OC Hardware. I see there is allready a WX Buttons etc. integration for a Joystickcard, but did you plan an integration in your SIOC_Creator or should we write the script ourselves? Are the Offsets already stored somewhere?

Again, thank you, thank you, thank you, for your hard work!

Cheers Florian

For now, there is no possibility, I need to add those in the coming weeks...

Allright no problem and stress. Until then we can control it via the MCDU.
Thanks!

By the way... The EIS2 looks really great!

Hi JL,
Great work on the new version! Appreciate those fixes on ND display! Also the EIS2 looks so similar to real bus!
May I know if my ND runs on remote computer, does it require write access right to the WXR folder? Or just read access right is enough?

Thanks for your help!

Read access is enough.

EIS2 format and...WXR !!! I love you JL
Hope lateral offset function will be added soon.
Thanks JL

I would need to check that. But the PTT(s) should be defined in FMGS (depending on your hardware...), in your voice app it should be left as an open mike, or maybe "synchronised" with the FMGS action (again depending on your hardware...).
I checked in the code, and the mikes should not "write" to the ext radio out unless the FMGS PTT(s) is(are) pushed in.
Make sure you have the PTT(s) push and release events declared (if not, you should get an ECAM caution after about 90s IIRC).

Hi JL -- In my previous test I did not assign a PTT button -- a keyboard button was assigned under vpilot for test functionality.

I will need to rethink the logic and of course retest with PTT button assigned.

The physical microphone is assigned to Captain mic (Flight Sound X) and this (through the repeater functionality of virtual audio control sends out to Line 2). Line 2 is read on Vpilot as the microphone device.

Perhaps with the PTT not assigned, the channel remains open on the ACP.

Hello, 'OmniAtlas'.

I must confess I am at a loss of understanding the purpose of the intercom app and so maybe when you have time and/or the inclination you can provide an explanation here on the forum of its worth and how you have it set up? I'm intrigued as to why and how you are using it for VATSIM. My current set up is with vPilot and a splitter cable coming out of a networked PC's audio card for the headphone and mic so that both pilot and F/O can listen and communicate with ATC.

All the very best,
Darren Sugden

Hi Darren, the intercom app is ingenious. What Jean Luc has done is replicate the Airbus ACP -- which more the less is a mixer.

Instead of using expensive hardware to control intercom and voice components such as this:



All you need is the intercom app and the Virtual Audio application.

This allows you to perform advance functions by linking up replicate or genuine ACP to the software and minimicking the real deal.

For example, if you want to turn off VHF1 or adjust the volume, you can do so. If you would like to listen to both VHF1 and VHF2 at the same time, the software allows you to mix both frequencies so you can.

If you want to turn on the MKR ILS, VOR, ADF morse codes tuned in and have the notification with VHF1 also tuned it, it is possible.

Sure you could directly connect to vatsim or IVAO on the client, but you wouldn't be fully emulating ACP and intercom functionality on the aircraft.

This is why the software is so amazing

OmniAtlas thanx for the quick reply!

I am using Active Sky 2016 (not Next) but i assume its the same thing....??

The installation was with Administrator user, but i also checked the permissions.

I applied custom weather in LGAV and in AS2016 Map tab, the precipitation is been shown!

Any other idea??

Well,

unfortunately I am also having trouble sometimes.

Here is the METARS for Sydney for example:

Here is the weather in Active Sky Next:



However WXR remains empty with no data files being written -- so in some cities I can get it working, but in others, not so. Will need to test further to determine why that is the case.

Matter resolved -- the aircraft must move for weather data to be updated and *.dat to be written.
