But I think it's a minor issue and there is no problem to leave the correction for a later time.moskito-x wrote:Very well recognized.Prosdocimo wrote:
The idea that i made is when you click on that button for the first time you have Fmc windows on. Fine. But if you close Fmc clicking on its window's X... to re-open it again you need to click on master button for the second time (but this instructs Fmc to be closed ..but already closed because you pressed X and not the master button!) and than the third time (that instructs Fmc to be open)
That's exactly what I have just checked.
When I close with X the FD-FMC window, I have to press twice the master button.
But if I use master button to close the window, I can open it with the next click again.

Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus
The shown Lights block above seems to be an old project airbus aircraft.cfg from A320 IAE, not A320 CFM and not a modified one for the FDD panel purposes.
May I propose that you recheck all your folder entries with the latest Panel release "A320FD-FMC 1.12 CFM&IAE". Here you will find besides the updated panel folders the current aircraft.cfg files for each engine version too e.g. CFM-version: Aircraft.cfg dated 20.12.2015.

Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus
hello,
Merry christmas !!
About delay when you press the Master Caution PB to open FMC window, this is since I added the code to close the window. Better work if you press slowly on the PB.
I don't why there is this bug. I on't find a solution today....
You have 2 wing lights because you have in your LIGHT section 2 lines about, with Navred light and navgre wing lights. You must delete these 2 lines, because CFM version has wing light hard coded in the Model, so additional lights are not required.
Here is my LIgHT section :
I will come back at home thursday.
Good flight

it seems that you not use the LIGHTS section of my aircraft.cfg or maybe you not use the aircraft.cfg provided with my pack. You should use my aircraft.cfg, because it has special setting according FMC.spyrosv89 wrote:I have this problem with the lights (bug I believe) in the A320 CFM version .

Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus
Hi is it possible turn off alarm (or make it not looped) when pitot is iced? It's pretty annoying as i need wait minutes untill it got deiced. For instance, LowFuel warning rings only few times even if i don't turn on Xfeed valve.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus
Yes, I will add a alarm cancel system, because it seems that when pitot is iced, FSX takes few minutes to deice, and alarm sounds until ptit is totally deiced.
I will do it

Panel V12.1 for the A318+320´s: The "seat belt" switch on the overhead panel is moving quite slowly in comparison to all other switches.
I did not notice this behaviour in former panel releases. Is this intended?

If you somebody has other request about bug fix or panel change, please tell me quickly, because I am preparing panel update (1.14) for A318/A320, because I want work now on A321 adaptation.
Next airport update : Saturday.
Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus
You want A321 version long range with 3 center tanks or standard version ?

Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus
Hi, to me S and F speeds in A320 are too much low now. I need to retract flaps just after takeoff. I would prefer the previous old values. But i don't know in a real airbus where they are
Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus
S and F speeds are not mandatory speeds ! Symbol show you only the minimum speed to retract, but you have to retract later.
It is forbidden to retract below these symbols.
This is only a security information.
I retract flaps at 185/190 kts and slats at 210.

YSSY - Sydney - Australia
YSCB - Camberra - Australia
SEQU - Quito - Ecuador
SKRG - Medelin - Colombia
Next AIRAC number will be 01162016 (saturday in 2 weeks)
I need some feedback. A french user has an issue with a multi-displays use (3 displays), with FSX-SE. When he want open 2D overhead, his computer crashes.
If somebody has already used the A318/A320 FD-FMC with more than 2 displays, can you give me some feedback ?

Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus
SKRG is also under construction.
Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus
Added to the list
There is a small issue in KMSP approach files (from 5 IAF) . Approach Rwy 12L ILS has a wrong altitude constraint value at waypoint SHUUT. You can land but aircraft climb of 1000 ft on an initial approach segment).
Airport will be fixed at the next airport database.
Some new of A321 works :
- I have many difficulties to find the right formula to calculate N1 for A321according weight and CI. But I am working
- I am testing a new position of the VC to be at the right location.
- Take off speed : ok
- Vapp : ok
- Autoland setting : Must be improved
- Aircraft behavior: nose is too up
I am working hard on flight dynamics and I hope beta for January 16
Edit : A321 VC position is ok ! I move forward VC and I think that position is good ! All mouse clickspot works (this is when I move backward that mouse area have issues);
If someone want test, I can upload the VC MDL file edited, if you have Project Airbus A321 on your computer.

Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus
I will prepare a set of panels with these buttons at the end of the week
I am testing with AI traffic my own AFCAD of KMSP, which fix all missing and wrong features of the FSX stock airport. ADE (Airport Design Editor) is a fantastic sowtware with many possibilities ! Incredible.
Fix missing runways and LOC, wrong ILS , I assigned Airlines to their right terminals and gates: this is a big hub for Delta and Northwest airlines, added missing buildings, Aprons, Cargo parking (UPS),taxiways, statics MIL aircraft in Military Area.
After, I will work on KRNO Reno.

Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus
As I had to add a missing ILS with a glide path of 3.54° to KRNO Reno, I tried to add some life to the airport. I am discovering ADE; It's a fantastic tools
What do you think ?
Cargo aprons :
MIssing fire station added
C130 Hercules added, as google earth show:
But I need of someone to test, because I am not sure than C130 Hercules will be displayed on another computer...
I am testing the FMC procvedure files to KRNO.

Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus
Francois, I know this is not related to the FD-FMC itself, but I'd like to know if you could help me. I'm trying to merge a 767 FSX model with a 757 VC. The problem is that the VC is located too far back. How can I correct this?
I think you know because I suppose you had to correct the VC position for the A318, didn't you?
Thanks.

Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus
Hi Carlos,
YOu can do it with "Model Converter X", a freeware that you can find on FSdeveloper website.
Do a backup of your original VC file.
MOdel Converter X allow to open and edit MDL files.
1- Open your VC mdl file in Model converter X and click on the following button "Transform Object" (see below)
2 - Change value in the small window (default is 1.0000; here I set to 1.25000) : you will have to do several test, because, you haven't any reference. Begin with 1.10 or 1.15.
Then click on "Scale": Value must be upper than origin; YOu can only move forward the VC. When you only move forward the VC and it will move also in altitude (upper) because you cannot move only in one axe without change VC aspect ratio. You cannot move backward (value minus than 1.000) because mouse area will not work after compilation.
Export (compile) the MDL file .
3 -Copy in your Aircraft model folder.
4 - Load a flight with the aircraft park at a gate and extend the jetway to the aircraft door. Look at the position of the jetway from inside the VC and compare with an external view.
If not ok, start agin from 1. USe always a copy of the original MDL file as base work file (do not change on the modified file).
I did the job with the A321 and found the right position after 4 tests.
Note : between 2 tests, you have to quit and load FSX to avoid that it keep in cache memory the old VC position.
Edit : fix my bad english language !

Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus
I have the SDK installed. I don't have time to send you the files today; I'll be busy all day long. Tomorrow I'll fix the FSX and SDK paths and try to do it again. If I can't, I'll send you the files.fdd_fr wrote:Stop! you have to configure the options menu to set FSX path, and I think that it requires FSX SDK installed

Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus
If you have downloaded KMRY, before this message, please donwload it again, because I did an error yesterday. Now, right files are online.
Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus
During an A321 test this moorning, I discovered wingflex feature of the PA model ! Really good job

Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus
Beta A321 CFM FD-FMC online :
http://freenavdbgroup.com/Temp/PA_A321FD-FMC_CFM.zip
Note :
- This beta requires that you have already A320FD-FMC installed, because no modules provided in the pack and aircraft sound use the A320 CFM sound folder with an Alias.
Panel update and fix:
- double click Master Caution pb to open FMC window fixed
- fixed a dozen of XML syntax error in the gauges set (thank you to Francesco Bragagnolo who provided to me the LOG error file from P3D, that give a report about panel errors.
These syntax errors was minors, but might occurs FPS hit and memmory occupency.
- Add security in managed descent mode to limit pitch variation.
What is expected with this beta ?
---------------------------------------
- I have many difficulties to adjust AIR file about engines settings :
N1 versus Throttle
N2 versus N1
N1/N2 versus altitude
Thust versus N1
Thust and N1 versus altitude
Exhaust Gaz temperature (EGT)
Thank for feedback and opinion.
I need your help to improve the file:
- It seems that thrust is too high at IDLE (for all altitude). That could occurs a low descent rate....must be checked and tested
- N1 value seems to be too high at hig altitude when engine at IDLE : hat could occurs a low descent rate....must be checked and tested
- N1 value decrease maybe too much when aircraft climb and altitude increase...
- Aircraft attitude maybe no perfect when level of : Maybe too much nose up.....same thing at cruise level and speed .
- Thrust value between 0 and 30% to taxi maybe too high....
- I think that flight dynamics is the best of the A32x series about turn,roll controls....
Edit : And if you can give me some feedback from the new VC location ? I think that it is at the right longitudinal place, but maybe too high ....
Thanks
Francois

Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus
A view comparison between A320_IAE and the current A321_CFM VC location shows, that the A321 VC can be vertically reduced by ~1.1 ft taking into account the A320 as reference (Real A320 and A321 vertical geometrical dimensions are identical).fdd_fr wrote:Beta A321 CFM FD-FMC:

For those who are interested to have an acceptable A321 VC view eyepoint should update the current view in the A321 aircraft.cfg as follows:
[views]
eyepoint=60.3, -2.0, 5.6
The vert. value 5.6 should be corrected as soon as an updated VC model is available. Assuming the VC will be lowered by 1.1 ft, then the new view eyepoint will be 60.3, -2.0, 4.5

Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus
Hi thanks! I don't have time to test it deeply. But theese were my first impressions.
I perfectly know it's a Beta version, so it's just to write down some notes for your attention.
- i like the new steering on ground, it's very realistic and i hope it could be implemented in a318 and a320 as well.
- I like the general fly behaviour, fly-by-wire seems more responsive and accurate in respect to A320 and A318.
- My VC point of view is behind the cockpit and i can only see the accessing door!
- On Ecam memo I read a sentence in green " (A:general"
- red alert "Pitot check" when temperature goes below zero seems not pop up in memo.
- sound isn't played as the string in sound.cfg to redirect into A320 folder is not correct
Here my first test (*).
At FL350 cruise, N1 reading was around 70.9 and FCOM says N1 maximum shoudn't be over 82-84. So i guess it could be fine.
(*) for this test i used FSX "clear sky" weather, so standard conditions as pressure 1013, 15°C, no wind.
