A320 FMGS B34

Hi,

I hope the updated user guide will be there for next version.
The lights effect are visible only if you have the "effects" file copied in the effects folder of FSX. It should be done automatically during installation, but you can force it manually.
As for the 100% CPU load, I need more details such as your setup specs, which process exactly is taking up CPU etc...

Regards,
JL

Hi JL

After today s update, we thank you for, the CPU 100% is gone and client/server communication improved. But the External Lights problem still there.

Hello Mike, you have load and installed the update via the updater in the FMGS Software or is there a download file everywhere ? Now the problem with the cpu load is fixed ? BR Veit

[A319vmlw]

Hello Stephan, after starting all pc´s there is no problem but after a short time likes 10-15 Min the problems beginn and the switches had reaction time from 10-15 sek. but only sometimes it feels like a temporary cpu load from 100% for a half min. after this time it works for a few minutes. I have no idea at the moment BR Veit

Anyone still getting a lot of 'wind sheer' warnings as they are about to land?

I had a complete CAT III landing failure at KLAX yesterday 50ft from touchdown because of a windsheer warning.

Overly sensitive?

The update was done thru the updater automatically upon starting A320 FMGS And as for the delay in response to which user A319vlmw pointed to , I have it too.Mike

Good day Jeehell

Very good new version, however sometimes I had a completely dead apu, and the electrical ground unit appears as connected but plane does not energyze, someone else with similar behaviour?


Here, some testing:


** Vertical revision locked in PRIMARY and SEC FLT PLAN


Insert any flight plan, perform vertical revision, the 10000 ft 250 kts restriction can not be inserted. High altitude airfield limitations must be made with selected speed.


** No fix info , radius or abeam features implemented


** Ir alignment not matching DdRMI heading


Plane off, external power or apu on, Ir aligment ( fast or complete) , Init page, set dep/dest airport pair, R3 -> ALIGN IRS, check that DDRMI while not aligned should read heading 360, and red flags.
DDRMI, heading always matchs even not aligned.


** ALT flight plan departure sets arrival airport at flight plan


On Init page, set dep / dest / alternate airports
At begining of alternate flight plan, click departures, and choose one.


you will notice that alternate flight plan Destination airport shows ITS arrivals, so alternate departure not posible to sequence, not tested if ENABLE ALTERNATE feature works, but it might...


This issue also occurs in SEC FLIGHT PLAN.


**Erroneous fuel prediction if mcdu not filled in DIFSRIP order


Airbus acronym DIFSRIP is the recomended method for fMGs filling, however INIT, FPLAN, RADiO NAV , PROG, PERF, FUEL PRED & SEC FPLAN, is a standard filling way too in real practice. As soon as Dep, dest pair is inserted a DESTINATION BELOW MINIMUN message appears, even theres enough fuel.


** FM light in MCDUs does not light when MCDU MENU key pressed.


** GA MODE, cant be sequenced with APP MODE in a go around , or when visual circling or visual approach.


Complete any precision or non precision approach in MANAGED/MANAGED or MANAGE / SELECTED MODES, then perform a GO Around, rejected landing or touch and go, FMgS goes into GA mode, but not able to select PREV <PHASE, neither Activate the approach phase.


Best regards,
Adonis

adonis,
the FIX INFO feature is not present in all MCDUs software on the real plane: only newer soft has it...this was previously discussed and can't remember if JL told he would/wouldn't implement it.

about GA looks strange: i made tons of go arounds also few days ago and i was always able to select approach phase after go around...just to be sure: did u move the thrust levers to CLIMB at GA thrust reduction? this way the autothrust is engaged.

the acronymous suggested by Airbus is DIFRIPS: data, init A, f-plan, radio/nav, init B, perf, sec f-plan.

regards

Hi,

@OmniAtlas: are you sure you actually do not have any windshear?


@Adonis:
** Vertical revision locked in PRIMARY and SEC FLT PLAN
I think you refer to the revision directly from the FPLN page? This method is not working yet.
However, if you go into the VERT REV page (click on the RSK abeam the waypoint, the scratchpad being empty), you can there modify the SPD and ALT constraint. I just tested and had no issue at all with that?


** No fix info , radius or abeam features implemented
I will look into that for the near future


** Ir alignment not matching DdRMI heading
I will try to make the flags and 360° hdg soon.

** ALT flight plan departure sets arrival airport at flight plan
I do not understand exactly your issue here? I can enter correctly all segments?
I found one issue related to the ALTN APPR which actually may enter the actual route AFTER the ALTN airport, this will be corrected today hopefully.


**Erroneous fuel prediction if mcdu not filled in DIFSRIP order
This is VNAV issue, very tricky. Working on that constantly, but accurate fuel predictions are really difficult to get.


** FM light in MCDUs does not light when MCDU MENU key pressed.
MCDU lights are not handled yet.


** GA MODE, cant be sequenced with APP MODE in a go around , or when visual circling or visual approach.
While in GO AROUND mode, the PERF page will never show the PREV PHASE prompt, but only ACTIVATE APPR PHASE (followed by CONFIRM APPR PHASE prompt), and NEXT PHASE. Note the NEXT PHASE will not engage the CLB phase, it is just there to review the CLB PERF settings (CI, managed speed).
To switch to another phase, you need to retard the thrust levers to CL detent, then push twice the LSK6 to go back into APPR phase.
If you divert, it should switch to CLIMB phase automatically on ALTN enable.

Edit -- found the problem -- its the 'smooth wind changes' with FSUIPC...it was enabled.

This option has to be DISABLED for optimum performance!

JL -- please add this to your documentation!

Whats the effect of having it enabled??

You do not get optimum performance with the engines, the aircraft will fail to climb and maintain its altitude/speed.
