A320 FMGS beta 30

Can you remove the Pil/co routes? They might be the cause of the lag.

Hi,

when I switch off Autopilot or A/T I sometimes hear the resulting sound, but most times I do not hear it. This was the case in version 27 but it is still in 28 and also with the latest update.

My sound module is on the client, but having it on the server PC it's the same problem. It tells me the sound module is connected fine. Altitude callouts come out fine. If I continue switching on and off the A/P every 3 seconds, then let's say in 1 of 5 cases I am hearing the sound, in all other cases not. It should not be a problem with overlapping sounds that come at the same time, because there are no other sounds at that time.

Anyone an idea?

Thanks
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

This is a known bug, I haven't had time to figure it out yet.

Yes JL, that's it. You are perfect! I'm not going to use pilots routes until you tell me so.

Now my minor issues:
1. When terminate the starter everything turns off except CPFlight FCU. I should unplug it from power, otherwise stays on even after shutting down the PC!
2. The photo of E/WD shows a message I saw during landing after touchdown for the first time after last update. It stays there with aural and MW sound even after shutdown both engines. It doesn't turn off when I push the MW button.
3. The photo of SD shows that GEN 2 is off allways, even when the ENG 2 is started and OVHD switch is as it should be.

Hi,

All those having issues with network/widefmgs should run the automatic updater on all computers. Any reports appreciated!

Cheers

Hi JL

Thanks for the update of the WideFMGS. In summary, it works nice. Nevertheless, I still found some issues:

I tested the new software versions with the same 'use cases' (UC) I reported in December (see page #30). UC-1 and UC-2 still remain; means, if I shutdown one of the WideFMGS clients, the WideFMGSserver ends.

UC-3 works half way through. This means that if the WideFMGSserver is stopped manually and restarted manually, the clients do connect. However, if I shut down all FMGS applications on the server by stopping the 'starter' and then start them all with the 'starter', the clients do not connect automatically. I still have to stop and start the clients as well.

Also, the 'STBY' remains in status 'connected' although stopped.

I also tested with a flight from LSZH to EDDS. The connection was stable and all displays updated fast and smooth. I also had the feeling that the CPFlight update cycles are faster. I just wasn't able to land with A/P. But I think this is missing knowledge about A320 system on my side

Thanks again for your work.

Hallo everybody ...

I have an annoying problem here. On one of my network computers I run the
PFD / ND / MCDU . Hardwareside I use the MCDU of Skalarki. So I have the
Skalarki I/O Profiler 3.3 running there. Everything works fine until a period of
time, when I can`t use the keys of the MCDU any more. There is no error
window, and the MCDU ( softwareside ) is continuing to work. Restarting the
profil under the Skalarki Software doesn`t help, just restarting the whole network
computer will let it work again ... until ..... again ..
Is anybody having the same problems and has maybe got a solution ?

Thanks ....

@ Armin: Have you tried to run the MCDU with the server PC? You could try to use the profiler on the main server. At the end you only connect the display of the MCDU to the client pc... maybe that works better? I dont have this MCDU... but maybe its worth a try.

Hi Rob,

thanks for your answer. I really try to get everything away from my FS X PC. It hardly can
manage it with 3 beamers and FSX with one big and three small open windows.
Just after I wrote the message, I tried something else. I installed the Profiler 3.3 over the
old installation 3.1 . Now I made a fresh new installation ..... I just did a quick test flight
Düsseldorf-Frankfurt and it never stopped. But we will see if that was only luck

Hi,

First, I'll be away from programming for a couple weeks, due to professional reasons getting me away. I'll have a reasonnable internet access but do not expect me to answer really quickly.

@Adrian: I will look at that when I'm back. This is strange, as I really tried to cover most 'abuse' cases during my tests and it aways turned out OK. I guess I missed a few things...

@Armin: OK keep us posted, hopefully it is solved now.

@Leonidas:I'll have a look at those issues when I'm back.

Bext regards,
JL
