Project Airbus – Talk

Flyer10

So your flight plan is created and loaded before loading the plane? Then you would see no difference. You have you load the flight plan after the plane for it to mess up. I think most people would do this as they don't know what runways, sids, stars etc will be used until they contact ATC and of co...

Flyer10

That's the behaviour I am seeing except the first flight doesn't work for me, did you clear the flight plan and load the plan after the aircraft? People who load the Plan first won't see any difference, the people who need to start the APU before contacting ATC to get the plan are going to have prob...

Flyer10

Switching aircraft doesn't help. Clearing the fsx data will result in the elevation always being zero as the only way to make it work is to load the flight plan before loading the plane. Try it yourself, clear the flight plan, load the aircraft and then the flight plan and the elevation will always ...

Flyer10

Previously I tried the 320, now I'm trying the others The battery switch was working and then stopped as I was switching through the planes, then it wouldn't even work on the aircraft that it did work on before. Very strange. If I load the plane, import a flight plan then the elevation will be the s...

Flyer10

ok, my 2 problems could be sorted as the show up in pre flight, the battery switch is obvious and so is the 2 different heights in the arrival page which I think is the cause of all the later problems. Load up any flight plan with an arrival airport of over 1000 feet and you should see it yourself.

Flyer10

I tried the new files, the k variable for the battery switch seems to have been removed so the default key or hardware switch doesn't work now. I'm tried flying into UAII and it's at 1348 feet and which is correct on the arrival map but its 11308 in the big pink letters above it. I got the retard ca...

Flyer10

Nice, can you try flying into somewhere like Sion LSGS without a star and see if the ILS/IGS approach works, you'll have to set the descent box to 17,000 as that's where you pick up the ILS/IGS. If it works there, other places should not be a problem. Good work on the choice of VCs, has the TR VC be...

Flyer10

I don't think you understand and its off topic so lets just drop it.

Flyer10

Hi I know about the star box. But my problem is in the pinkish value "elevation:" in the upper right corner in arrival page. It's always 0. I'll attach the debug report soon Thats the problem, it means you cannot land at any airport over 3000 feet unless use have a star or land manually.

Flyer10

Why should you not be able to fly an airbus plane? Only the advantages of an FMC are lost. The project is called "Project FMC simplified for Project Airbus" . Many Hight Tech Airbus I have already flown in the FLightsimulator I have to enter SID STAR and Approach Transition to use lateral...

Flyer10

It worked perfectly before unless I forgot to set the descent altitude before beginning the descent. All the FMC needed was for you to get to the descent altitude, then an ILS or manual approach was possible. I just copied the .55 cab files back and the altitude was fine in the FMC. Its definitely a...

Flyer10

Pro atc has worked perfectly with these planes up until the last update, I dont think it has anything to do with proatc as the altitudes were messed up without pro atc running. Ive never once set a sid or star in the plane itself. So the plane will not be able to fly into airports without an FMC sta...

Flyer10

I looked but couldnt work out how to get the .csv file. A normal p3d save doesnt make a .csv and I couldnt work out if you could save via FMC. The altitude is wrong even in preflight without entering anything. I think using the star arrival somehow bypasses the problem but it should be there on ever...

Flyer10

I just did it again ZUJZ to ZLLL, I entered 9000 as the end of descent altitude, the airport is at 6388. I press the ALT to begin the descent and the value is gives me is 3700 which is 3000 feet undergound. Now I cannot even try to test the ILS because it will never go into that mode. The elevation ...

Flyer10

Hi I found that in A321 v1.57 my destination airport is always at 0 ft. If I switch into A320 (still at v1.55) the airport elevation is ok. So maybe there is a problem in v1.57 by which all destinations are 0ft! I think using the star covers this problem up, did you not use a star and then had trou...

Flyer10

To Flyer10: Please confirm, that you have no prob on a FD_FMC provided airport with an usual Flightplan, SID, STAR & approach loaded and here the callouts do work ok. I don't use SIDS or STARS from the FMC, pro atc does it itself and injects it into the flight plan on the fly. Can you try a 400...

Flyer10

Probably a airport approach data issue or a FSX airport altitude bug, not from aircraft or panel..... Flare is calculated with airport altitude data, provided by the FSX database. can you tell me the name of your airport ? It happened at every airport I tried, ZLLL (6388), ZWSH (4528), ZWWW (2126) ...

Flyer10

I just discovered why there were no callouts, I got them in my latest flight but was still 2300ft AGL when the aircraft tried to flare.

There seems to be a serious bug with this release.

Flyer10

Strange, I downloaded with Firefox 52 no problem, did you have any download manager active? The step climb seems to be broken, I tried it in an a318 and it just went into overspeed instead of climbing. I have to manually start the climb and then it was ok. Just to confirm the target altitude does no...

Flyer10

The file unzipped perfectly for me. It maybe a cache problem somehwere. About the callouts, it worked perfectly before but didn't after the update but I didn't think it did anything with the sound folder, I will check it again over several flights. I have 4.1 installed with every file you highlighted.

Flyer10

Thanks. That's a great fix list, is the pitch freeze bug where you reach he TOD and it will only go to 1000fpm and would then stall if you left it? If so, I suffered from that a lot. I suspect it had to do with the centre of gravity hence why it happened for some people and not others. Edit, but on ...

It's interesting that the blinking lights appear on the A320 but not on the A318 or A319.

Im pretty sure it was on the A318 and A319 IAE for me, I didnt check the A320 or A321 because I thought it would happen with those too.

This is in P3D.

Flyer10

Im pretty sure its the a330 with Tom Ruth cockpit, also I can confirm the day lighting flashing when the switch is in the upper position.

Flyer10

The restrictions could be a lot better and easier if you could just click on the flight plan on the right and type in 220/A8000 for example. You could then be able to do multiple restrictions at any point in the flight plan. The first part is speed, then A for above, B for below and no letter for at...

fdd_fr wrote:I agree. I haven't said correctly the bug.

The issue is that speed constraint is never cancelled even after passing waypoint. Aircraft stays at 185 until cruise !

I think I also had the same problem when manually entering a speed restriction in the FMC.

Flyer10

Thank you for explaining it, is there any chance of being able to select target altitude during the initial setup on the ground before take off?

Flyer10

I can select the target altitude during cruise but not after descent is initialised which is always when I realise Ive forgotten to set it if its a high airport. Its fair enough if it cant but done but the real life airbus stays in managed mode until the retard call out. I can go into more detail if...

Flyer10

For some reason I never get the vref green dot when not using the FMC star but it did appear when I did a test flight with no FMC flight plan.

Flyer10

I'm pretty sure it happens on every single flight for me but I will do that, another little thing that would be nice would be copying the optimal flight level to the box when you click on it. It works with the lower one which is always FL350 but not the upper calculation which is what I use. The bug...

Flyer10

I noticed a couple of bugs with the A32x, the ToD doesnt work any more, its sticks at the distance of the top of climb, when you reach cruise altitude, it gives you an optimal altitude of something like FL780. A lot of the time climb and descent doesnt stick to the target, I can be climbing at 180 k...

Flyer10

This company offers a demo of a not very good a330 but it could be in the manuals, I believe its limited to 10 mins flying time but it could give you an idea of the a330 overall.

Flyer10

You have several choices, move it to idle, move it to toga/MCT or use push/pull to dial in the speed you want. I dont think there is a fully manual mode with the AP on.

Flyer10

As above, its working as designed, you just push the levers forward if you think youre getting into a bad situation and need MCT or TOGA. That brings it out of the AT position.

Flyer10

Thanks for that, so I found the DLL.xml opened it in note pad and it was correct as the instructions say, Imade sure everything else was in the correct place and the paths were correct as per instructions, still not working. Double check you have the correct one for your sim and of course the corre...

Hi, I have used the A319 FMC on my old windows XP and all worked great, I have just changed to windows 10 and a new computer and reloaded the A319 FMC but am unable to enter any fields in the FMC using the keypad eg, runway heading or Flex to temp or DPT Position. The fields that are just click to ...

Flyer10

Good choice sticking with Airbus, I think the logical choice would be to keep getting larger, eg go for the A330(200/300/F) next, then A350(900/1000), A340(200/300/600), A380 (841) It may also be easier to stick with the 3 Tom Ruth aircraft as the flight dynamics are very good. Looking forward to th...

Flyer10

I had a very quick look, everything seemed ok although the autobrake and anti skid still didnt work from the VC for me.
Its a bit late to take it out for a spin so Ill report back later.

Flyer10

Guys, about next project, I began to adapt A321 panel to Tom Ruth's VC, before begin to write a full set of gauge for A330/A350/A380. So, after some hours of work, I am close to get all gauge working and at the right place in the TR's VC. I remain some issue : Barometric knob does'nt work in VC; I ...

Flyer10

Thank you for explaining everything. The VC x bleed used to work for me but the ignition only ever worked with the 2d popup. It makes sense that you use the current TR VC if you cant change anything as the a340/a880 already have the four throttles, it just needs a serious texture upgrade and the FMC...

Flyer10

Agreed...In fact, I've been trying to use the A340...and with all due respect to it's author. (TR)..it needs an update. ZA Ive flown the TR A330, A340 and A380 and they all fly great but as you say, its looking very tired as the cockpit is very bad when compared to this version. In fact the current...

Exactly, I think most people would prefer a realistic a340 than an a350 with an a330 cockpit.

Default FSX airbus already switches to direct control below 100ft. You can notice this in FDD's as well. I normally fly with all flight computers on and below 100ft i have a direct input control from my joystick. Ive never noticed this in the FDD version. There seemed to be the 1 second delay like ...

Flyer10

-No, it shouldn't. You always have the option to have A/T in managed or in selected mode. Sometimes you may need to take control of the aircraft yourself, sometimes you can let the A/P and A/T control the plane. -Well, I can't speak about that, because either the coded STAR slows the aircraft, or I...

FLyer10, I haven't enough knoledge to improve the drag of the aircraft. I tried, without success....too complex for me and I don't found clear documentation about these AIR file tables. About LVARS/FSUIPC, can you give to me more information about what you expect ? Maybe I can give you what you wan...

Heres an a330 cockpit, its almost identical to an a32x. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/11/A330_Cockpit.jpg The dimensions would change so what would be easier, trying to update a 10 year old Ruth cockpit or transplanting the great a32x cockpit?

First of all, many thanks for this excellent set of freeware planes. There are a few things to make it more realistic: -The autothrottle should stay in managed mode until touchdown. When you get within 30nmi of the runway, the plane will go into approach mode, slow to slats speed, then once you sele...
