We created this SDK to allow the developers and manufacturers of hardware en software to interface with the Airbus X Extended. As I am not a programmer I asked Frank (who written the C++ tool) to explain to me what is included. Here is his explanation: Basically: Compile DLL, place DLL into e.g. panel folder and call it from panel.cfg. To get access to the LVARs of our Airbus it is needed to go the way via a gauge (otherwise no access to these LVARS via C++) The source code you got is a complete Visual Studio 2008 C++ -Project, which generates a dll, the “AirbusXExtSDK.dll”. This dll needs to be implemented as a gauge into the panel.cfg (e.g. ”gauge62=AirbusXExtSDK!…

Hi, Following to my previous post, you told me that Airbus X Extended is normally not supported for P3D, If buy a new licence for Airbus A320/321 , does the dll AirbusXExtSDK.dll for the MCDU will works with it or I need a new dll ? Thanks.

I just received and MCDU form Skalarki : http://www.skalarki-electronics.eu/onlineshop/product/48-mcdu-proversion In order to use it with Airbus X Extended I needed to add the dll :AirbusXExtSDK.dll that given me the builder. It works, but : 5, 30 minutes after P3D stopped to work : Do you have an idea? I really want to be able to use my MCDU

Hello all, Does anyone have a copy of the sample download, the link in the thread below seems to be down? Best regards

Hi, is there LVARs for these 3 switches? ENG MODE selector ENG 1 MASTER sw ENG 2 MASTER sw Thanks.

Hi, It looks like I cannot download the airbus x sdk (I need it to configure spad.next through lvars). it says that this download is not available for my account. could you help me ? thanks

Hi, As the subject suggests, is there an LVar for starting/stopping the elapsed time on the chronometer? Thanks, Dave

Hi everybody, I would get whith my c++ application all the overhead status from simconnect. I use Airbus X Extended, I think it should exist custom variables to get for example the lights status of all overhead korry buttons, like "fault" or "Apu avaialble" and so on... Is it possible to get a complete list of custom variables for airbus x extended? Thanks for your answer

Hello, I'm using OpenAirbusCockpits to make a simulator with Arduino, the problem that I have is that I don't know when do I have APU/Engine/External, etc. So I must monitor de APU, I must do a little trick to know if it's started, then I must check the APU Master, Start button, bus tie, apu gen under bus tie, extn power (and not yet if it's available...) it's just too many things for just turning some faliure lights on... So, is there another method? I didn't find an LVar in docs to do it :/

I need to download sdk but it seems link doesnt work. Can someone reupload it? Thanks.

Hi, I would like to know the LVARs to switch ARMSPOILERS Thanks

Hi, Would the SDK be the way to go to build a component like the Aerosoft "Connect" ? e.g. A server-side exe that gives access to MCDU through a webpage. Or that program has access to data not accessible through the SDK ? The idea is to access/interact not just the MCDU, but COM panel, etc .. from any browser (not dedicated app/gauge) thanks.

I am working on an update to the LINDA utility to work with the VRInsight Airbus FCU panel and the Aerosoft Airbus X 320/321. However, I am having a few problems determining the correct LVars from the SDK that define the logic for the Managed Mode Dots and --- displayed on the Airbus FCU for Speed, Heading and Altitude. The logic for Speed (SPD) and Heading (HDG) seem fairly easy to determine (ie. using AB_AP_SPDmode and AB_AP_HDGmode_setDisp). However, those for the Altitude (ALT) managed mode is much more complex and difficult to work out. There are obvious conditions but these are affected by whether HDG is in Set mode, the approach mode and TOGA. Can someon…

Hi guys, I have played with LINDA a little and works fine with my FCU, but i am wanting to assign various buttons in the AXE to my keyboard (i have multiple configs for each area)... I have read about how to assign general FSX (P3D) commands to the keyboard like gear up and down etc and that works well... trouble is i cant seem to get things like the Master Caution off to work as i do not know what the actual AXE keyboard command is! This goes for a few other commands as well... IS there such a list that Aerosoft uses so i can assign each command to a keyboard key using FSUIPC? Thanks for your help guys Doug

Can you tell me LVARS and VALUES to use for the box. Thanks

Hi, Are there Read/Write LVARS for Master Warning and Master Caution. If there are I would like to know the value they should be set to to cancel the the alert I can't find them in the excel spread sheet I downloaded Thanks

Hello, as you see in the title I have a question concerning the FCU from CP Flight. Is it compatible with the Airbus X Extended? And which drivers does it need? http://www.cpflight.com/sito/dettagli/fcu320.asp Thanks in advance. Best regards Jens

Hello Can i use the lvar (ASC_Com1_Sfrq) for him write the standby frequency and in what form (for a frequency of 128.275 for exemple) and what length should be offset FSUIP ? Thank you for reply Raymond

I am working with the SDK and am trying to find the Lvar to determine whether the VS field is dashed or contains values (VVS or FPA)? I have tried all those listed in SDK2.4 but none relate to this value. Any suggestions?

Dear all, I'm sorting everything out at the moment, how to get my Opencockpit Hardware to work together with the Airbus. As far as I understud atually, I need to use Lua scripts and to write or read values via FSIPC offsets. In all the script's I saw so far, always a SmalOverheadPushButton value is set. What does that mean? But by the way, is it possible to have two separated PFD's and ND's, for both the captain an PnF ? Thanks for every help. Jackson

Hi, I have just bought the Airbus X A320/321 a few days ago and am in the process using the GoFLight Interface Tool to set up configuration files so I can use my GoFlight Modules with the Airbus. Using the GoFlight Interface Tool you create what it calls “Bespoke Events” and in these bespoke events you can set one or more lvars and/or trigger events. You can then assign these bespoke events to the various buttons, switches etc on you GoFLight modules. I did some research on the Airbus before I bought it and came across the SDK file AXE_SDK_109.xlsx which is a comprehensive list of the lvars the Airbus uses. Armed with this document I was able to rattle thr…
