MCDU/FMGS issue


TomA320

Recommended Posts

Hi, firstly just want to say how pleased I am with the product and how well Airbus have done, I just have one or two issues which I would like to sort out.

Firstly when I program the FMGS, and enter the DEP/ARR ICAO codes (eg EGPH/EGCC) and line select it into the appropriate box, it will not insert and just vanishes in the scratchpad. This is a little frustrating as I can't fly a proper flight with out entering this information.

Secondly when I apply reverse thrust, the speedbrakes do not automaticly deploy.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Tom

Hi tom,

Reverse thrust and speedbrake logic are not linked.

Arming the speedbrake means that, when the aircraft lands [tire pressure increases, and also the landing gear's suspension is used] the speedbrakes will deploy.. thats why sometimes, when there is a really soft landing, speedbrakes wont deploy,

standard ops for most airlines will state the pilot not flying will call "speedbrakes" after touchdown to confirm to the captain they have been deployed

Hi,

I also have the problem with not beeing able to enter any data into the scrathpad. It now says 0. in the scrathpad and the clr button does not work.

I also have a problem arming the spoiler try to use a programed swith for that command but I get full spoiler instead.

Im experiencing the MCDU problem like Tom. I cant type anything on the MCDU.

That sounds like different problems.

Tom can enter the code but can not transfer it to the correct line. Could it be you see a single blue "/" in the to/from field? That indicates the codes you entered are not recognized. I see it when I make a typo.

Paulo cannot enter anything at all. Paulo, first of all are you sure you are on a page that allows anything to be entered? And secondly is the scratchpad empty or is there something shown?

Yes, that's exactly what happens, but I've tried so many times and double checked the ICAO codes and they are fine. I'll try again. Should I load the Airbus X from the default flight? Thanks

There´s a 0. in the scrathpad and it can´t be erased.

Okay that indicates the DLL we need is not loaded. I advise you strongly to de-install the product and install it again while not logged in as administrator. If that does not solve the issue, find the dll.xml file (it could be a hidden file) and see if GPSModule is listed there. Don't worry however, we know what the causes this and we can help you solve it.

We use the default command [shift][/] to arm the spoiler, so you will have to program FSX to accept that.

What do you enter exactly?

MCDU Problem Solved, editing the dll.xml file, the GPSmodule adress was wrong, i dont know why it pointed to a inexistent FSX adress.

Anyway, its working fine now, thanks for the help Mathijs.

Regards,

Paulo

If 0. is shown in the lower left corner of the MCDU display check this:

\FSX main folder\Modules\ This file must exist: GPSModule.dll

Then open this file with notepad:

Win XP: \Documents and settings\Username\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX\ DLL.xml

Win 7 and Vista: \Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\ DLL.xml

This entry will be found somewhere near the bottom:

<Launch.Addon>

<Name>GPS Module</Name>

<Disabled>False</Disabled>

<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>

<Path>Modules\GPSModule.dll</Path>

<DllStartName>module_init</DllStartName>

<DllStopName>module_deinit</DllStopName>

</Launch.Addon>
