Project Airbus – Talk

Prosdocimo

Hi thank you! Luckly my panel is ok untill now. But what I should see? Does attitude freeze during descend? How could I realize it during this phase? A little note on the new aircraft.cfg. Two extra lines should be added into [Light] section otherwise flood lights don't work (I cannot write down the...

Hi Bjoern, just a curiosity, did you modify displays (ND, ECAM..) brightness as well in your mod panel? I realized they are darker than Francoise's last release and the shown informations are barely visibile on my monitor.

Prosdocimo

(...) In case anyone wants to test my changes, here's the model file and assorted files: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6K_xiE2GqmMT2Nxc2hrdzFsZTA/view?usp=sharing Thanks! I tested and I really appreciated your mods. Expecially new interior lights, belt switch turning at right speed, and switcha...

8-) Now I can't go over 33 even with computers off. Because I added a security that is active all the time. So, I can change system to limit bank only when FBW is "on", but I don't know if it is like this on real Airbus. I will try to get time to search in the Airbus manual, but I think th...

Prosdocimo

Could be possible improve FBW system as well? As far I know we could go over 33° of bank angle appling a constant sidestick input (67° max). And after switching off computers we shoudn't have anymore these restrictions. Now I can't go over 33 even with computers off.

Hi, Bjoern It's true! I can see it because it's drawn in the following HD textures (two pages before): In the meantime one pic for the sim enthusiasts: New alternative HD texture set for the FSX default A321 VC and for the Project Airbus A320 VC too, available in flightsim.com, file name "fsx_d...

Hi Bjoern We are thanksfull about your contribution to François project! All your future improvment suggestions are really appreciated. Among these, I would like suggest to make clickable the TERR ON ND button that is close to ND display to make terrain visible on that. Now we just hit a spot on the...

Good job! To me everything is ok!

Hi François
In A320 v1.45 panel, FMC's optimal FL says 920ft !
In a flight from Heathrow to Fiumicino, 10.000kg of fuel loaded.

Prosdocimo

About panel update, we do with wulf a last change; We try to improve Approach code; I try to add to the FMC, a feature to calculate the optimal V/S to join the next waypoint during an approach, when approach gradient is not special. Testing.... A nice feature! Sometimes it happens that I'm too high...

Prosdocimo

Hi I haven't see this bug yet. Have you tried to fly with FBW computers on? I normally do.

Prosdocimo

Thanks! I'll try it next weekend
Did you get FPS drops?

Prosdocimo

Hi Wulf i guess 0.005 is close to what i would expect moving throttle levers manually. I tried it and it seems good. My little suggestion would be about focusing on how quickly A/THR moves throttle levers. I found a video about a-floor engage and full thrust 100%reaching, on an A320 real sim: it was...

Prosdocimo

Hi thanks! Not such pitch bug until now. I like how it descent. I also found restrictions in flap deploiments if the speed is over limit, it's good as i was going to ask you to introduce it. Could you please tell me where the pitch bug monitor file is placed? However to my taste, engines are now too...

Prosdocimo

May i ask LIMC?

It seems that this simplified gauge version has no success....

It has! I haven't had time to test it yet, but i will test on Ruth's A330 soon.
I think is a good idea, even if the lack of managed vertical navigation is a strong missing

I agree that I haven't give many time to write some part of ECAM code and read all the Airbus documentation about warning message. I preferred to concentrate on writing FMC code about aircraft control during climb and descent and all procedure (holding , ARC). Time is limited and I had to do choice...

Prosdocimo

Hi i've just a question. What is the purpose of secondary Ecam? If it shows damaged parts, all lights alerts should be green untill they are failed (i mean by fsx failures window)
Thanks

Prosdocimo

Thank you!

I don't know if is intended. But during climb at transition altitude i don't have any more the flashing QNH/std alert on PFD display. And also "wing light" is still in red in Ecam2.

Prosdocimo

Hi, I have wing light (red/green) and wing strobe. other people haven't these lights ? Francois Hi. Yes I have. I just write these points below just in case i was misunderstood. "Nav&Logo" switch on hoverhead panel controls Navigation red/green lights on wings. On Ecam system status t...

Prosdocimo

ok. I will update lights sequence for next panel update Francois Hi, i would like suggest to remove "wings lights" red alert in lower Ecam status page. As this kind of light refers to inspection wing lights that don't seem to be present in PA model (I mean, there isn't the light effect in...

Prosdocimo

Hi, please could you also add buttons-colored overhead as you did for A320/318?
Thanks!

Prosdocimo

Thanks Françoise!
I found the trick. I was leaving taxi lights ON as in many real life pictures i've seen them on during take off and landing.

You may add this list at the end of your manual as appendix

Prosdocimo

I also realized that ECOM skips always Climb1 memo. It goes from TakeOff to Clb2. In A320 CLB1 was appearing longer. Thanks! CLB1 to CLB2 arrives when Cabin seat belt switch is off and aircraft above 18000 feet. Hi i realized now that when lower ecam displays INIT CLIMB just after take off, the upp...

I added a Pax cabin window view to the panel : http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/527014A32112.jpg Hi I cannot see the oblò / porthole. May i download a particular texture? I also realized that ECOM skips always Climb1 memo. It goes from TakeOff to Clb2. In A320 CLB1 was appearing longer. Thanks!

Hi thanks, keep up the great work! It asks me a password to downolad. I can't download it

wulfbindewald wrote:The change of the light beam vector/orientation from the landing and taxi lights (CTRL+ numpad 2,4,6, or 8 for down, L, R or up) is IMO sufficient to adjust the ground lighting.

I didn't know it!

I have to try next time thanks

Prosdocimo

About landing lights, probably there is an issue on nose gear's lights direction. If you watch at it by the front, you can see four lights. Two small lower (both taxi lights) and two upper (a small one on the left that is a taxi again, and a larger one on the right that is a landing light). Now thes...

Prosdocimo

To me it works but it's just a little weak

Prosdocimo

Yes it seems not working as the first tanks that are emptied first are the central ones and not the wing's. In a318 and a320 it's correct. I also realized that the central #1 and #3 go to zero. Meanwhile in the #2 there is a leftover when wing's tanks are switched.

Prosdocimo

Hi thank you! Attitude is ok to me. I found two things. The first tanks used are the central ones and not the wing's. Shoudn't be on the contrary? During the switch between a finished central tank and the new central one the engines seem stopping and starting again.

Prosdocimo

In my opinion we have already A318, A320 and A321. In case of a next twin engine airbus, i'd like fly A330 instead

Thanks Thomas your job is amazing! Even if I'm not an airport creator so i will not use it

Prosdocimo

Great! It was a bug I had

Hi thanks for this update! Autoland and flare seems work perfectly. I landed at 3 degree or so. Here some notes about pitch attitude at indicated FL. Please note that negative pitch values refer to a positive attitude (upper sector) in PFD! And viceversa. You may check this on the bug gauge in 2D pa...

Prosdocimo

Hi I found this

https://www.google.it/url?sa=t&source=w ... oA40eGNaXQ

But it takes A320 in example. Are those values common to a318 and a321?

Prosdocimo

No idea, but have you tried to change back one by one those values?

Prosdocimo

Thanks for your clarification, but is not that value linked to FOB value in FMC right pane?

I'm defenetively looking forward your updates!

Prosdocimo

Hi I realized that Estimated Fuel at Arrival is not updated if I change fuel quantity by menù after the aircraft had been loaded.

Prosdocimo

Hi thank you!
I would say:
LIRC Reggio Calabria - it's difficult due to mountains and crosswind. A special abilitation is required to land. Rwy33 requires a strong angled landing
LIMC Milano Malpensa - just because it's missing and the presence of ai traffic in fsx

Prosdocimo

Thank you Françoise. I found this video about a simulator in which idle N1 seems to be just around 20%. Ok it's an A320 and the engine should be a CFM

Hi thank you for the update. Here my feedbacks. Engeenes run well now, good job! Here some notes to you kind attention. I feel that V1 Vr and V2 are too much close each others. I found that airbrakes are deployed fully during managed descent, and not by half maximum as in a318 and a320. Lastly Ecam ...

Prosdocimo

Hi i found that center2 and center3 tanks are not counted into the fuel ecam page. I mean, i only read the main center fuel volume that is not the sum of center + center2 + center3

very complex!

Hi great! Looking forward to fly it

I would like put a318's colored overhead buttons into a320.. how could i do? Thx

Prosdocimo

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
