Posted: 07 Feb 2012, 05:52
This topic is dedicated to the support and debuging of The Project Airbus A318/A319/A320A321 that I have modified by permission of Project Airbus Team, with the A32x Panel of stefan Liebe that I have modified and ehanced with his authorization.
Many thanks to Project Airbus Team and Stefan Liebe for their permission.
Note : The AP Knob buttons (SPD, ALT, HDG) are engaded/Disengaged by Right click mouse ! Settings (-/+) are always with left click mouse. Please, read the user manual in the folder of each aircraft (PDF file in english and in french)
This first post will be updated each time that a will have a update or information about these aircraft.
Today, 10th july 2012, there is 4 aircrafts available on AVSIM : A318, A319 A320 and The A321 are in Version V3 (panel v3.05) IMPORTANT : The A321 bugs has been corrected; there is an update for the panel.
See the A321 section for more information
This final version of the A321 is now available on AVSIM and brings many new features about the V2 of the A318/A319/A320 Panel
Please, read the user manual in each aircraft folder (there are English and French version of this user manual). It is essential because many new feature to know.
I recall the impotaant new features of this V3 :
- Improved MFD (ND) display with TCAS, airports informations, detailled GPS route with GPS approach for example, all the waypoints of the GPS route, two ILS flegs representation according the scale, filterd airport display (only towered and hard runwau airport with their ICAO name and other functions ......20
- 100% real cold & dark aircraft State at the beginning of a flight.(real manual engines startup and manual activation of the ircraft systems
- 100% real engines startup manual procedure with all the bleed circuit
- Bleed circuit 100% functional, with new BLEED page on the lower ECAM, with all swithes and functions work. this is the great new of this version with the manual engines startup.
- I have kept also the automatic engines startup function (with CTRL+E) but I have coded all the animations for the switches and the Bleed page on the lower ECAM.
- New fuel system management, like a real aircraft with all valves, pumps and Crossfeed function work, with reserve system, low level fuel alarm, real scheme to feed engines (from center tanks to wings tanks) , new Fuel ECAM page , managed by a new gauge
- Ehanced Fly By Wire function with two modes : "NORMAL LAW" and "DIRECT LAW"
- corrected the bug about the position of the X-BLEED selector between the 2D panel view and the VC view
- Real data for the weights, engines power (IAE and CFM version)
- Management for the different engine failures (oil leak, lubrification ) with sound alarm and ECAM messages
- improved constant mach Autopilot with correct bug when you load a saved flight at high altitude
- Improved VNAV (verticale navigation function) with best control of system before engage it
- all the switches work in the cockpit
- Now, the daylight virtual cockpit is operate by a specific switch; It is now totally independant of the cabin light switch.
- and many other things that is too long to describe.....

You can post here all your problems and remarks, I will try to help you with my bad english.
Last bug reported :
If your flight not begin in cold & dark sitation or if your engines shutdown immediately after take off, this is because your default flight is the original default flight of FSX, with the ULM , flying at "Friday harbor".
To solve this problem, start a flight with any aircraft, in any airport (prefer an airport of your country to have the right time according GMT in FSX). When the scenary is loaded. turn off all system of this aircraft ( engines, battery, ignition) and save the flight by checked the checkbox in the "Save flight" window called "make this the default flight".
Quit fsx.
Open the FSX.CFG file (located in "C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX" if you are under XP, or "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX" if you are under Vista or Seven) with the notepad or equivalent and in the [MAIN} section, add the line : DisablePreload=1
Relaunch fsx and try. For your next flights, don't check the checkbox "make this the default flight" when you saved a flight.
