Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus

Hi
That may very well be the problem given my old Saitek and throttle. The auto throttle problem does not occur all the time so I'll have to spend some additional time with it. Thanks for a great airplane.

Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus

So far after the auto throttle has activated I have not found a way to turn it off - the throttles themselves will not retard. I'm starting to think that this may be due to the envelope I am operating in - heavy aircraft just after take off - perhaps the computer senses that I have the aircraft in s...

Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus

Hi all
Thanks for the replies. I guess another thing I have not discovered is how to turn the auto throttle off to enable manual throttle control. Nothing I have tried has worked so far.

Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus

Hi all Continue to fly the 321 time permitting. In a couple of my practice take-offs I've found that the auto throttle is engaging at take off power without it or the autopilot being selected. I am unable to turn it off - the "on" "selected" light remains on. I have found that by...

Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus

Hi Francois The FMC is proving to work very well although I have not figured everything out. I'm sure this has been pointed out before but in my setup the console ignition switch in the VC will not turn although it will "highlight" with the mouse. I must use the "throttle" view a...

Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus

Hi Francois
Started learning the FMC now that I have things working. Lots to learn but so far going well.
Thanks

Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus

haven't had a great amount of time to work with it but it appears the FMC is now working.
Many thanks to everyone for the help.

Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus

Hi
I see no SID or STAR list, only a red "0" or "O" at the bottom. I've also tried several different airports including KMIA with no change.
Thanks

Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus

Hi again I accomplished the editing. The sim started without errors and the 320 panel looks great with everything working. The FMC unfortunately has not changed. The map with apparently all details shows fine but I can do nothing with the scratchpad to the right of the display. The track line for th...

Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus

Hi
Thanks again. You are very trusting to turn me loose with editing this kind of file but I'll give it a go and see what happens. My next question could very well be how to repair the file.
Cheers

Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus

Hi And thanks - seems like a great forum with lots of help. I did a check and all .DLLs seem to be in the correct places and the XMLTools.dll is not present. I am using the latest version of Prepar3D - 3.4 I think. On start up the sim has not asked any questions about the newly "declared" ...

Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus

Hi
Thanks. I'll give it a good look as soon as I can. In this case my airmanship is (on slightly) better than my computer skills so I'm sure it's something I've done, or not done - finding it to date has been a challenge.

Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus

Hi again all
I did another re-installation and now have found the FMC_Path.ini file but no functioning FMC - just the flight plan track line and map.
Thanks

Re: Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus

Hi Recently installed the A-321 into the latest version of Prepar3D. The airplane flies beautifully but while the FMC displays the map and route accurately nothing else works. I believe that all the installation steps have been followed correctly. I have tried re-installing with the installer but de...
