I got stuck on CLB on my last flight. Once this happened to me on a flight during climb, because I forgot to define first step FL. Is there any way to force the FMC into the next or previous flight phase? I´m not aware to be able to jump between flight phases. Maybe Francois knows more. IMO only ne...

New update on this issue. It is funny that I'm having problems turning on the A/P, the FD and the communication panel only in the A320 CFM (both with and without sharklets). All the other models work perfectly fine. I really don't know what could be the error, because the A320 IAE works just fine a...

wulfbindewald

Just guessing.....have you declared the new XMLTools64.dll too? This file resides in the dll.xml file in the AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/FSX folder, but unfortunately I do not know where it is located in P3D.

Prepar3d 64bit requires modified gauges. The basic PA32x panel is developed for 32bit. It is mandatory to download and install the basic full pack A32x panel V2.0 version at first e.g. from AVSIM. Then you might update it to the latest panel v2.10. The "Modules" folder within the basic ful...

A32x panel V2.0: The A32x aircraft models are generally the basic PA models from 2011. Only the A320_CFM model is updated in 2017 and include the visibility from the outer Cockpit section, looking from the VC. I examplary checked the new A320 and A321 sharklet models which show the outer Cockpit whi...

wulfbindewald

It is unlikely that any PA aircraft model and its hardcoded lights will be changed in the future, as far as I know.
Furthermore there are new A32x aircraft models with sharklets available, wich all include hardcoded lights again, see post 25 Mar 2020.

wulfbindewald

".....Updating the A319 and the A320 ...."
The valid aircraft models A318 to A321 are included within the basic pack V2.0 and there are no doubled nav lights on each wing tip on my end. Which updating do you refer to?

wulfbindewald

Try rename the new "A32x_XML_Sounds.gau" to "A32x_Sounds.gau".

Thanks to Francois, who provided an examplary aircraft data set for the A320 CFM sharklet version including an Easyjet livery in this forum, see mail 5043: http://www.pilote-virtuel.com/viewtopic.php?id=39706&p=202 Please locate the aircraft data set into the SimObjects/Airplanes folder as usual...

I have read that you have omitted the course knob because the ILS intercept is automatic - but the course-indicator should have the same heading as the ILS approach. Now it has a constant heading of 340 degrees. The ILS course can be toggled on the pedestal. An automatic ILS course recognition and ...

"...previous version of panel...". Which version do you mean? V1.xx or 2.0 beta?
If you mean v1.xx then make sure to remove all existing A32x panel files prior to the new V2.01 installation.

wulfbindewald

Flap hande in 3D cocpit, does not return to the zero position in manual manipulation with mouse, and keyboard knob retract fully dont work after landing! In the previous version of the panel, this worked! It's normal or bug? The actual flap positions are working fine in the panel & aircraft acc...

There doesn't seem to be an ini for A32x_XML_Sounds.gau so is this why I get no callouts on p3dv4?

Strange, because I found the A32x_Sounds.ini file in my "PA A32x_Common" folder.

wulfbindewald

-Is there a way to save these knob's statuses (max light) or do I have to turn on the screens manually everytime I load the plane from now on? Never had these issues in the versions 1.xx Please make sure that each glass panel brightness is at 100% (or your favourite value) and save the aircraft fli...

I removed the old installation completely

Please check that any old Gauge "xxFD-FMC.CAB" , valid for the old panels v1, is also removed in the FSX/Gauges folder. This might confuse panel v2.

wulfbindewald

I have the DLL and the declaration is ok in my dll.xml file. I have the TCAS gauge and right declaration in panel.cfg file, but I never saw on my ND an effect of TCAS warning. I guess you have checked the corresponding declaration in the [TRUSTED] section. The TCAS works currently (visual&sound...

wulfbindewald

So, I think that I have a problem on my computer with TrafficRadar that doesn't work. Maybe I have forgot to do something.....but not effect on my TCAS.... I have the TrafficRadar.dll line in my FSX.cfg, so the file is correctly installed. But mayb another action to do ...... ? Does it require a sp...

The FMS should be activated after switching on the electric and ADIRS activitaion.

VC brightness at day: The dome lights are used to additionally illuminate the whole VC. If you feel they are too bright, then you may change manually the location from the corresponding dome light in the Aircraft.cfg. in the section [LIGHTS], where you can vary the light point x-coordinates =A/C lon...

HI, I can't get the " # " button to work in the FMC. It doesn't let me push it. Others seem to work fine. Nice job btw. Is there any solution? Thanks. I'm using that 2.0 version that had a download link on this page and also downloaded and installed the updated common files from this page...

There is written in Bjoern´s Trafficradar readme, see older fork version 2.0 under 5. Transponder/TCAS panel: "......The "Above - Below" switch will filter the TCAS contacts on the ND, only displaying planes above (and slightly below) or below (and slightly above) the aircraft......&q...

I did a test, you are right! It can land also with one AP button on

Edit: AP1 land and APPR button on includes currently the flare characteristic with smooth touch down too with panel 2.0G.
The aim was that this auto landing with flare will only be achievable with AP1+AP2. Francois to be asked....

I can still autoland with only 1 AP pressed in 2.0G, which file is the new code in? I want to make sure that it is copied across. Thanks.

I recommend to install the full panjel 2.0G in one step, not partial to avoid compatibilty risks and I think the installation is much easier.

wulfbindewald

Hi Wulf, i had the same problem. I don't remember the fix, but just compare the electrical section in aircraft.cfg between A320cfm and an other airbus were things are ok. The first number should be 0 for all the entries if i recall well.... Thanks, you nailed it. The line "avionics_bus = 1 , 1...

A32x panel 2.0G: The frequencies are not displayed in the A320_CFM VC radio stack. All other aircraft versions A318, A319, A320_IAE and A321 work fine, see examplary pic below. - The VC model is for all versions the same, so this should not be the culprit. - I checked the model.cfg from the A320_CFM...

Autoland is only available when both AP buttons are on.

yep, at least since panel 2.0G.

wulfbindewald

I recommend to install the latest panel 2.0G, see Francois´mail from 13. May 2018. Then further discussions might be easier. I agree, that the joystick command AXIS_FLAPS_SET does not work with the panel coding (jet).

I found that the speed changes from a defined value during approach e.g. 180K to 0 (at FAF) instead of the coded value ~160/140K on final. I have not recognized this prob in earlier panel versions. I guess there is a conflict between the flap setting panel code e.g. when I use my Saitek throttle fl...

Hi Abdullah, I repeated your defined flight from OJAI (No SID chosen) to HESH (DELMA RWY 22L STAR), Approach: RNAV RWY 22L without any prob with panel 2.0G and A320_IAE, HSEH is FSX default (no add. scenery).

The std. hold pattern tracks are described in the "[EN] FreeNav DB Group Manual v4.15.pdf", chapter B1.4, and to be find in the freenavdbgroup.com download section. IMO the above mentioned pattern is a right turn inbound pattern and coded as ...,1,2,172,352,60 (e.g. for 60s) in the appropr...

I have a question: If an airport has RNAV transitions, should I put it in the procedure? I am not sure, what you mean as there are different "RNAV transitions" during a flight cycle. May be one concrete chart example and pic would be helpfull and a short description how you want to define...

Hi Wulf, I realized that in your Mcdu I can read "version 2.0 beta G". I don't in my installation, but I installed the last Françoise 2.0G from his link. I only put my textures. What's wrong in your opinion? This is strange, because I did not change anything at first within the eight new ...

Hi Bjoern, based on your 2.0G hotfix from 20.05 at 13:13. I interpreted your installation description as follows. - To throw both new xml files "A32x_MCDU_2D.xml" and "A32x_MCDU_VC.xml" and the .bmp files into the existing A32xFD-FMC folder. - To delete the existing file "A3...

Bjoern, I was talking about MCDU popup window. The console Mcdu is fine. I tested again the lights. I cannot turn on panel lights without touching dome lights switch. I must have dome lights on DIM position to automatically have panel lights. And turning it to BRT i have dome light. Why is there th...

The only small error I could find in the modified MCDU gauge is in line 620. "A32x_MCDU_W.bmp" should be "A32x_MCDU_O.bmp", but this has absolutely nothing to do with the gauge background! I have no line indications in the xml file. I found in total 2 "A32x_MCDU_W.bmp"...

wulfbindewald

About MCDU, i put background_color=10,20,30 to remove its transparency. This line needs to be put in [window07] field in panel.cfg for each aircraft The line "backgound_color=..." in [window07] already exists. Just change the numbers from 0,0,0 to 10,20,30 as stated above. Thanks Prosdoci...

The popup MCDU in the VC can be shown with keyboard commands too. The new MCDU since beta 2.0 and the old style MCDU panel are available:

new MCDU: shift+8
old style MCDU: shift+7
