Initial post below was about 33.2 - Thead updated to focus on 34 by JL.

Thought it was time to start a new thread relating to the current release

Running B33.2 on P3D2.2 I noticed a couple of things:
1 - The strobe and beacon are flashing with way too high frequency.
2 - When looking left and right, the only things visible is the strobes. The wings are not seen.

Not sure if the above relates to the PA or P3Dv2.2.

Thoughts?

The model provided by JL FGMS don't have views, so it's normal to view only strobes without wings and others

Hello all,

I've just finished a new version:
http://www.jeehell.org/A320FMGS_B34.exe

The new features are:
- Completely reworked AP/FBW. Thanks a lot to ToTom who did a great job helping me out on that.
- Completely reworked Sound module. Now it is possible to select a specific device for the playback.
- Some bugs corrected a bit everywhere.

There is no auto update possible for now. There were great changes inside the software internals, so it's best to do a full install.
Also, make sure you overwrite your older PA 320 model in your FS directory when asked to. There were changes to the flight model.

Best regards,
JL

PS: Stephen, sorr y I hijacked your thread and renamed it... Was easier for me

Thanks JL and ToTom, looking forward to trying it out tonight

Happens in FSX too . It takes out reality . The beacon and strobe can be adjusted in the fsx or P3d EFFECT folder by changing the value numbers in the corresponding PA effects . Have tried to play around with the number but still could not reach a realistic speed. Hope someone can post the amended PA effects folder to copy and paste.

CHEERS

Hi JL -- when and if you begin developing the weather radar for FMGS, will it be based on the ActiveSky Next API?

It seems that many software developers are going that route, from the creators of ifly737, to PMDG, and now this freeware radar --

Thank you.

It seems to me that the new simconnect allows you to make Radar weather directly with P3D. It is independent of the weather engine.

New model compatible with B34 (A320 - the same one that is in B34. Additionally A318, A319, A321 and TOPCAT files):

Hi,

The weather radar is still not planned for the near future.
The simconnect API does not allow for a proper radar, there is a bug in their system (since FSX) and it has never been corrected so far. Without "hacking" it's not possible to get the clouds/precipitation position accurately (I did my research and trials myself, it's truly not possible with the normal way, and the hacking way is really tough).

Regards,
JL

Stephen from OPUSFSX also will not be doing an independent radar. He recommends WX Advantage Radar.

First impressions with the new build

Aircraft now feels 'heavy', when you are controlling with the sidestick it now feels like you're controlling a heavy huge metal tube!

ILS turns are now accurate, none of that silly turning back and forth -- on my first attempt YBBN RW01, aircraft turned appropriately and correctly!

OM, MM, IM alerts! Nice touch!

Will have to do more testing but looking pretty good so far.

Sounds at startup seem to play twice? (I noticed it with the seatbelt chimes and engine start sounds playing x2).
