A32x in FSX: Improvement for strobes/beacons and VC lighting

Post by guy »

I am a new user of the PA A320 and A319.
Fantastic aircraft!
Congratulations to the developpers.

In FSX the original PA strobes and beacons are too fast.
One way to solution this is to replace the FX file in the lights-section of the
aircraft.cfg with the corresponding file of the default A321.
For the A319 you can not replace the wing strobes, as they are hard-coded
because of the flexing wings.
This should also work for the A318 which I have not yet flown.
I also changed the parameters of the VC-lighting to make it work (by shift-L)

For the A320:
[LIGHTS]
light.0=3, -13.90, -55.25, 2.45, fx_navred320pa
light.1=3, -13.90, 55.25, 2.45, fx_navgre320pa
light.2=3, -69.70, 0.00, 4.70, fx_navwhi320pa ,
//light.3=2, -69.70, 0.00, 4.70, fx_strobe2320pa ,
light.3=2, -69.70, 0.00, 4.70, fx_strobeh ,
//light.4=2, -13.95, -55.25, 2.45, fx_strobe320pa
light.4=2, -13.95, -55.25, 2.45, fx_strobeh
//light.5=2, -13.95, 55.25, 2.45, fx_strobe320pa
light.5=2, -13.95, 55.25, 2.45, fx_strobeh
//light.6=1, 6.8, 0.00, -5.80, fx_beacon320pa ,
light.6=1, 6.8, 0.00, -5.80, fx_beaconb ,
//light.7=1, 3.83, 0.00, 8.47, fx_beacon320pa ,
light.7=1, 3.83, 0.00, 8.47, fx_beaconh ,
//light.8=4, 45.827, 0.00, 5.01, fx_vclight ,
light.8=4, 47.827, 0.00, 5.01, fx_vclighth ,
light.9=5, 11.570000, -10.48, -5.81, fx_PAland ,
light.10=5, 11.570000, 10.48, -5.81, fx_PAland ,

For the A319:

[LIGHTS]
light.0=3, -62.00, 0.00, 4.70, fx_navwhi320pa ,
//light.1=2, -62.10, 0.00, 4.70, fx_strobe2320pa ,
light.1=2, -62.10, 0.00, 4.70, fx_strobeh ,
//light.2=1, 6.8, 0.00, -5.80, fx_beacon320pa ,
light.2=1, 6.8, 0.00, -5.80, fx_beaconb ,
//light.3=1, 3.83, 0.00, 8.47, fx_beacon320pa ,
light.3=1, 3.83, 0.00, 8.47, fx_beaconh ,
//light.4=4, 41.827, 0.00, 5.01, fx_vclight ,
light.4=4, 47.827, 0.00, 5.01, fx_vclighth ,
light.5=5, 12.570000, -10.48, -5.81, fx_PAland ,
light.6=5, 12.570000, 10.48, -5.81, fx_PAland ,

I forgot to say that I increased also the pitch-stability.
There were light pitch oscillations during cruise.
In the aircraft.cfg :

[flight_tuning]
elevator_effectiveness=1.0
//pitch_stability=1.2
pitch_stability=2.5
..

These figures should have been fine to begin with. :?
Could it be your joystick that's causing the issue instead?
