A320 FMGS B44

I have a question regarding the PTU sound: As soon as one engine is running, I can hear the PTU sound until the other engine is stable. So the sound is repeated over and over again. I thought that this should only be played once? Or is this intentional?

You can't even hear the PTU in the cockpit (confirmed by Captain Dodiano), so you should disable the PTU sound.

Hi,

I will add some FSUIPC offsets in next release.

The EVAC horn sound is corrected in next release.

I'll add the high-low chimes someday for the emer call, not a big priority.

The EMER EXIT LT switch compilation bug in SIOC Creator is corrected in next version, it will come soon.

Hi JL!

In addition to SIOC...

1) IN SIOC Creator, I would like to ask you to correct as well the Device IDX for FO MCDU which will not be remembered.
I checked with an HEX-Editor and it seems the IDX is stored in *.mcdufo but when ever I open the config it shows "0"

2) The "Yellow Elec. HYD Pump" Korry acts like a latching switch even when the "Latching switch" flag is not set. I'm only using push buttons! In the FMGSServer.iocp.ini it is correctly defined.
ovhd_YellowPumpsw=408
ovhd_YellowPumpLatch=0

Thanks alot!
Christian

How could I disable it?

Hi JL
I have a problem for long time, not critical but quite annoying: When I start the starter.exe my H/W overhead panels connected to a FDS I/O card doesn't start. I can start EXT PWR from addon menu, the button turns ON, but by pressing it doesn't become AVAIL. APU doesn't work as well.
I should close and restart the starter.exe 3, 4, or sometimes 7-8 times to work properly!
What could I try to troubleshoot this? Does H/W modules LOG help?
Best regards

How could I disable it?

Quite easy: just rename the file c\A320FMGS\SOUND\Sounds\ptu.wav to ptu.old and thats it!

How could I disable it?

Unclick the PTU box in the sound manager options dialogue.

Another minor problem I have.

Usually, when I get a master warning (the red one), I click it away on the FCU panel. But, sometimes, when I deactive the AP shortly before touchdown, I can't deactivate it. I can click the button/annunciator and it disappears, but the text on the ECAM and the sound continue. So from the touchdown until I shut the plane completely down, I hear the annoying beeping.
Am I doing something wrong?

After adjusting my assignment for the the Cargo Smoke Test, it works as it should.
A small thing I have noticed. When the Warning is displayed on the ECAM,
the GWPS and G/S switch lit simultaneously on the Cpt. and FO forward panel.
After a while it disappears.

But this is a very minor bug.

I have finally upgraded to V 44.1 after using 38 for some time. Main reason being that I have been busy putting new projectors in which are 1080p. Boy, that makes a difference. Again many thanks to Jean Luc for a great effort for the software. Really great. One problem I noticed with the upgrade is that I cannot get WPT, VORD, NDB, or ARPT to come up on the FCU (CPFlight V 116 ).The CSTR come up ok on the flight plan, and the plan has all the waypoints in ok. Just none of the others. If anyone else sees this perhaps let me know. Cheers, Brian W.

I forgot to mention that all affected Switches are connected with FDS SYS Boards.

@Brian: I have also a CPFlight FCU V116. Dont't have this Problem. Can't you activate WPT, VORD, NDB or did you not see it on the ND?
When thesecond is true, then you have to copy the *.bin files to your NAVDATA folder.
