A320 FMGS beta 26

[FSCockpit.eu]

Hello,

We are making the driver for our Panels to make it compatible with JH software (BTW, JH is really great job!!!) and we also have the same problem with ver. 4.7
I had to go back to version 4.6 and my keys were working without any problems with it.
I bought FSUIPC few years ago and , until now, my keys are working with ALL versions.

Hello,
first of all thanks a lot JeeHell for the extraordinary work you did and you are still doing. Really really appreciated!
I'm planning to build a cockpit based on the AIRBUS A320 and I'm currently testing your software. I read the first step guide and most of the user guide, using PA320 aircraft model and doing modifications in the aircraft.cfg file as described. I did joystick calibration and any other steps of the guide. Well, I have some questions:

1) regarding the EGPWS terrain data, I performed the entire procedure, then launched the EGPWS data extractor.exe. After about 10-15 minutes it seemed to freeze (see the attached picture) and no new folder appeared in the EGPWS sub-folder. I left it to work for over 6 hours but nothing happened. What I'm doing wrong?

2) I also tried to follow the LFBO-LFMN route example described in the user guide. It was all right until I took off and I engaged the AP1. After this point the aircraft model assumed a very strange behavior (overbank, exxagerated pitch or dive, AP disconnection) and it was unable to follow the route steadily. Then I aborted the test. I also tried to disable FBW system in the AP/FBW exe window without luck. Could it be a coefficient or aircraft model issue?

Thanks in advance

Hi Marco,

I don not know the answer to the first question, but the answer for the second is quite simple:
Just uninstal FSUIPC ver 4.7 that You probably have and revert to 4.6 - this should solve the problem.

Dear Sir,
thank you for your fast reply.
my current FSUIPC installed version is 4.25. I read about the incompatibility with the 4.7 version. Perhaps should I install the 4.6 version?

Thanks

Hello,

Yes definitely v4.6 is the version to use. It is available on flightsim.com.
Concerning EGPWS data processing, I don't really know what's going wrong. Try processing tile after tile manually?

Dear JL,
thank you for your reply.
I downloaded and installed FSUIPC 4.6. The situation seems to be better during the take off and in the climb phase, just after the AP engage. Now the aircraft is able to follow the route path and its behavior appears much better. But, after a while, it becomes unstable again. The AP disconnects itself very often and, when I try to engage it again, it doesn't work immediately. Thus, it is unable to follow the flight parameters. I tried to follow the guide many times but I'm not able to complete the flight properly. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
Concerning the EGPWS issue, I downloaded just a couple of tiles (let me say "Northern Europe" and "Southern Europe" to understand). In both case (processing the two tiles mixed together or a single tile) the result is the same. Sorry for my likely mistakes.

Thanks

Hi,

What FS are you using? FSX or FS2004?
Are the AP/FBW and FMGS server running on the FS computer?
What computer do you use? (CPU?)

Hi JL,
at the moment I use FSX acceleration pack on one single pc (later I'll do a test with two networked pc's). Pc features: AMD Athlon 64X2 Dual Core Processor 5200+ 2.71 GHz, 3 Gb RAM, Windows XP pro SP2.

Thanks

Hi,

Do you notice any frame rates drop in fs or on the instruments? Maybe all the software on one dual core PC is a bit too much.
