I think that is used for large bulky objects, that don't enter in standard containers.
I work on tanks location. If attitude change with fuel level, I think that is the solution. I think that tanks are placed closest of CG in real aircraft; the most logical....Prosdocimo wrote:Hi I changed cruise_lift_scalar to 0.9 and these are the results:
FL390, 0.77M
Fuel 50%: pitch -3.89
Fuel 25%: pitch: -3.24
Fuel 10%: pitch: -2.74
FL350, 0.77M
Fuel 50%: pitch -2.44
Fuel 25%: pitch: -1.91
Fuel 10%: pitch: -1.63
FL300, 0.77M
Fuel 50%: pitch -1.12
Fuel 25%: pitch: -0.68
Fuel 10%: pitch: -0.45
At FL300 it seems good but too much pitch at FL390. Maybe set cruise_lift to 0.95 could be better?
Edit:
François, is it right the weight in station_load.7=605 ?
The .5 is 6050
No A319 to complete the single aisle Airbus´ at first?fdd_fr wrote: When A321 will be completed, I will work on A380 (probably based on the A340 Tom Ruth's VC but with FD-FMC gauges, because it seems that the FS9 A380 VC occurs some FPS hit in FSX) with transoceanic routes (NATS & PACOTS).
If you ever fly with a ATC Controller like PROATC/XProsdocimo wrote: Thanks Thomas your job is amazing! Even if I'm not an airport creator so i will not use it
Wulf, I agree with your idea.wulfbindewald wrote:No A319 to complete the single aisle Airbus´ at first?fdd_fr wrote: When A321 will be completed, I will work on A380 (probably based on the A340 Tom Ruth's VC but with FD-FMC gauges, because it seems that the FS9 A380 VC occurs some FPS hit in FSX) with transoceanic routes (NATS & PACOTS).

The development of the program FD_FMC SID STAR precedes (Prof. version).
This version I'm working on will take some time.
Therefore I have decided to present a simpler version (Lite).
This still needs an installer and a manual. (3-4 Weeks it will be done).
What are the features of the Prof. version ?
Automatic creation of all csv files from a Navigraph Cycle.
Automatic adjustment of available waypoints.
with LAT LON data from the following data.
a.) PlanG database.
b.) OR generated by makerwys Pete Dowson files.
c.) OR Navigraph Cycle Data.
An import existing airport takes 1 minute.
Then you can new SID, STARS create or modify existing ones.
automatic copy of all files in the right directories
compilation (optional)
A generation of all csv, txt, xml, bgl from Navigraph data
A normal Airport as EDDW needs
a.) Reading the data
b.) Check, Fine Tuning
c.) Creating the Airport .txt file
d.) Creating csv, xml files
e.) bgl compile xml file
takes between 15 to 25 minutes.
What can the Lite version ?
a.) Import existing airport
b.) autofind existing waypoints from PlanG
c.) generates all files ( No need to look for too much commas)
d.) manual creation of SID and STAR
e.) auto update from lowercase to upercase (type ed eddw udado, will be updated to ED EDDW UDADO
f.) automatic controll of decimal signs. 52.99910875 will be converted to 52.999109
g.) Add+ a new waypoint, with arrow up/down move it to the right position. Total Number of WPT will be incremented.
etc.
Here a screenshot of the SID -DATA / SID -INDEX Form
I hope you like it

Hello Francois,Hello Thomas,
Your soft sounds great !!!
I haven't Navigraph data and I don't know how they are formatted; But is the speed information about STAR or approach are include in these files ?
no importance. A gauge folder can be in panel folder or FSX gauge folder. Same thing.wulfbindewald wrote:The sub-folder A321FD-FMC is located in the panel.A321CFM panel folder.
To be located into the FSX/Gauges folder or to stay as is?
I will check that. Maybe I should toggle center tanks valve before tanks become empty.Prosdocimo wrote: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.
This sheme is the right sheme.Prosdocimo wrote: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.
Ok. It will be done for next database update.The320Pilot wrote:Francois, I did a flight from EHAM to EGCC and I discovered a flaw in the EGCC approach data: current runways are 05L/23R and 05R/23L, but in the FD-FMC, the runways are 06L/24R and 06R/24L.
Could you please correct that? Thanks.
wulfbindewald wrote:Hi there,
sometimes it is helpfull to compare how real airliners are following official arrivals/approach. Enclosed a pic which shows a REAL landing track from a MD11F in KONT Ontario, California, today (left pic) and the defined ZIGGY5 arrival in FSX (right pic) with the A321 panel 1.16. KONT is under test and will be provided soon.

Well, let me elaborate. UK2000 Manchester Xtreme shows the current runways (05L/R and 23L/R). I don't what are the runways in the default FSX.fdd_fr wrote:Ok.

If I understand, speed brakes can extend at 100% with AP for A318, A319 and A321 and only A320 has 1/2 speed brakes.wulfbindewald wrote:A320/321 speed brakes efficiency during flight:
When I activate the speed brakes in the A320 V1.15 or in the A321 V1.16 and AP is activated, then the speed brake lever arm moves to 100%. For the A320 the efficincy during flight should be max 50%, but for A321 the setting for 100% is correct acc. to the pilots blog below. For your info.

Check your light section in aircraft.cfg :The320Pilot wrote:VC day lighting (toggled with the Recognition light switch) doesn't work in the A321.
I haven't tested the A321 during nighttime, but the A320's and A318's lights work well in my simulator. I am not using the default landing lights texture because they are too yellow. I downloaded another texture from Internet which has a bluer tint.Prosdocimo wrote: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 these two upper lights seem badly oriented as you can see just a light spot down the gear and not forward. The bottom small lights and the wing's seem ok.
Edit. I looked on the web, it seems that landing and taxi lights are kept both on during landings and take off. This may help to increase the light intensity here.
I didn't know 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.

- Open/close doors

- set the landing beam

That's what I said.With this exemple, synthax to write in the ECXEL file this terminal waypoint is :
Type = W
Region code = SB (brazil)
Airport icao = XFMC
Waypoint name = AAAAA
I agree thomas, but in first, I placed this airport in the AIRAC file with all "en route" waypoint, and that didn't work.moskito-x wrote:Hello Francois,

16 May 2015,
Solution :
Give the waypoint an owner
you give Waypoint AAAAA an Owner XFMC that's it !
Look here Terminal Waypoints
