FlyByWire community mod A320

whty? bruh

which version should i download of the a320nx? the stable,development or the custom version?

hey, there
 i have no 10 ft collout before landing, i have installed the new dev version. is that known to you .

FBW you make a fantastic job
 well done

Great @TenPatrol 
so you are not only our MSFS trouble shooter but our FBW hero too :slight_smile:

i have one question


Where did you retrieve that Take-Off trim-setting 0,5 DN from?

Thanks.

That app was kind of abandoned by the developer isn’t it?

Can you confirm this?

Hello

In what version or when will the Autoland and new ground services going to be implemented. Thank you

regards

How do you link the Flypad to the MCDU? Or is that not functional yet?

I think I couldn’t agree more with you GitHub, I have been following pretty many Aces on YouTube, in earge to learn something from them, but the only problem is nobody is using these airliners that came with the Microsoft/Asabo package, everybody are using some kinds of MODs and from these 30 different channels most all of them fly these FLY By WIRE’S planes, not the ones we had to buy from you. :frowning:
P.S. but I got to though say Asabo/Blackshark they make nice view and seenery, but not airplanes, Please let the guys at FBW do the planes for you, and beside that they are so quick to fix what you haven’t been able to fix since the release of this game in August.

Hello A32NX. Your mod is an “all in one” mod, therefore user have to go to you if they don’t like your flight model. Please improve your A32NX in these points:
1.) The maximum speed is 455 KTAS, but the airplane flies 503 KTAS
2.) The measured (L/D)max is 28.3, but the real life (L/D)max is 16.3.

See these screenshots for a better understanding:

I don’t know where you are getting your numbers from, but the airplane can definitely fly faster than 455 KTAS. For example, MMO at 30,000 feet in ISA conditions is 483.2 KTAS. A normal cruise speed of M0.78 at 30,000 feet on that same day is 459.7 KTAS. And the airplane is capable of going faster than MMO/VMO, but when our own fbw system is implemented, high speed protection will kick in to limit you.

In your particular screen shot, you are still in the flight regime where the maximum allowable airspeed (which is not the maximum speed capability of the airplane) is 350 KCAS (as indicated by the beginning of the yellow bar on the speedtape shown in your screenshot), or 535 KTAS.

The (L/D)max issue is a known issue to us (not the only issue!) that we are currently working to rectify. This will take some time, however, as we are not working only that one issue with the flight model. The “real life” L/D value you quoted is the L/D computed at a normal cruise condition, not (L/D) max.

Users don’t have to go to us to make their own modifications to the flight model in our mod. Just please don’t try to pass it off as our model anymore. As well, anyone is free to join our open source project and bring up issues or propose modifications. Just be aware that all modifications must be backed up be good reference source material. All proposals are then subject to our QA process, which may include reviews by IRL A320NEO pilots and engineers.

As a sim pilot of B739 NG ArianeDesign in FSX you had something special. That is why I support the project and would be happy if it succeeds, taking all circumstances into account. It is a demanding but also meaningful undertaking.

Please tell me when your QA process with your IRL A320neo pilots comes to a conclusion. I am happily waiting for your full report!
And I really do not like to have a ballast of 290 MByte for the two cfg files I changed. Please remember: It was the flybywire team decision to make an “all in one” mod, it was not my decision! But a measured (L/D)max of 28.3 is “a little away” from any reality I know.

Can you please give me the POH or other source where you got this number from? As you told me: How can I trust your numbers if you don’t tell me the source? My source was plain old Asobo cruise_speed.

Dear FBW Team (or anyone else),

From my understanding, Cat 3 autolands have been implemented. I am using yesterday’s build of the Custom version and I am pretty sure I was able to activate both autopilots a few months ago for a Cat3 landing - it just didn’t flare right, but otherwise it was able to be engaged.

This time though (and the last few times over the last couple of weeks), I am not able to activate AP2 - it just switches between AP1 and AP2, but doesn’t activate both. I tried to do this once APPR is active and localizer is captured. Tried once again once GS is captured and I am on descent
 Either I am not activating it properly according to some new procedure that changed, or I am using a version that’s not capable of it. My build is c090dcc. Any insight would be appreciated.

Ability to activate both autopilots is, I believe, only available in the custom autopilot version, which is different than the custom fbw version and is not available through the installer.

Sorry, you will have to watch for that on your own. We don’t have timelines nor do we keep a list of parties to notify when any particular change to the mod is completed.

As is your incorrect “real” (L/D)max of 16.3. I guess we’re even then.

FYI, the A320 is not a single pilot airplane and therefore has no “POH.” The maximum operating Mach number (MMO) and maximum operating speed (VMO) are operating limitations for the airplane. They appear in the public type certification data sheets for the airplane as well as the Airplane Flight Manua (AFM) and Flightcrew Operating Manual, neither of which are public. You can access type certification data sheets from any regulatory authority who has certified the airplane. Examples include the FAA and EASA. Or, you can just look in the Asobo (or A32NX) aircraft.cfg file.

The issue with your assertion about the maximum speed of the airplane is not just about MMO/VMO, however. It has more to do with you: 1) using a normal cruise speed as a maximum speed (just like you used a normal cruise L/D as (L/D)max); and 2) overlooking the difference between true airspeed and either calibrated airspeed or Mach number.

Paul, sounds like the FlyByWire team still hasn’t “caught up” to your level of understanding of flight physics. Please be patient with them.

Thank you for your words. I think the best is to point to some reading:

Read, understand and discuss. Best do it in this sequence.

Unbelievable.
