PFD / PFD 2 Display

[PW2000 11]

Hello,

I found some smaller Issues on the PFD and the PFD 2 (Version 1.21):

1: When switched on the ILS Mode on the PFD the white Box where the adjusted course is shown is flashing during turns (see Attached picture)

2: The selected ILS Frequency and ILS Ident on the Copilot PFD are flashing when flying turning (see Attached picture)

3: The Flight Director of the Copilot shows the wrong direction, when turning. (Seemed to be reversed)

4: The Speed Bug on the PFD shows not the correct adjusted speed. When adjusting 250 kts the Speed Bug shows 251 kts. (Zoom in and check it)

5: Still missing: the Speed Bug when in MACH Mode.

Hello,

for everybody having the same problem with the "flashing" course window on the PFD, here is the solution:

1. Make a copy of the original file

2. Open the PFD file under the display folder

3. Search for the lines below

4. Replace the original numbers with the ones written in bold (Float Position)

That will set the course window a little bit higher as in the original one. This stops the flashing effect for me.

Maybe it could be included in upcoming updates for Airbus X.

Great post! I'll have to make these mods and try it out. The presentation with bolding for the needed changes is excellent!

Thank you, I hope you like these modification, only a small one, but it fixes the problem seen in the picture above.

Hello, Aerosoft stuff,

yesterday I found another bug on the PFD. When the ILS Info Text is switched on, the DME indication shows always ---. Even when selected a VOR/DME Frequency.

(I know, some ILS systems and some VOR´s have no Distance Measuring Equipment (e.g. NIE near Hannover)!). So I check it with other VOR´s (WRB) and ILS

approaches (IHNW at Hannover) which has DME but Airbus X shows always ---. Must be another Bug. (Version 1.22)

Should be corrected in the next update, or tell me how to correct that.

Markus
