If I remember well, the lower Ecam works only if 'PAgauges' is in the Aircraft title.

If you have added it, it is possible that you have to restart Fsx to make it work !

Done both.something is still missing for sure.

I had also problems with the lower Ecam initially.

Don't remember well the chronology , but I used first an Fsx version

of the A380 (found in some library) and added the VC manually afterwards.

There were problems with the autopilot in the original PA VC and with

the lower Ecam.

 

Then I decided to try the official PA FS9 base model directly in FsX !

In the Vc the autopilot worked immediatly and I think possibly also the

lower Ecam.

 

The model files Fs9/Fsx are completly different.

For Fsx there are 2 model files, one with cabin and one with VC.

For Fs9 there is only one , with Vc.

 

So I think it's worth a try to use the official Fs9 model base model

of the A380 which can be dowloaded here :

Guy,

 

I used the official fs9 model right away !

Do you have ALL the PA procedures in the panel folder ?

I have _ap, _clock, _ecam, _fmc, _lgip, _nd, _pfd, _rmp, _sfd, _sys .

 

The lower Ecam will not work if for example _sys is missing .

 

Guy

Yes all them that you mentioned are there.

I have added a POPUP for the FCU (autopilot) to the PA380 pss panel .

To display it do Shift-9 .

As with all popups you can resize it and place it where you like.

 

This way it is not necessary to return to the 2d panel to make AP settings.

You can stay in the beautiful VC ! :rolleyes:

Some lttle drawback's:

- the zoom-popup of the lower ecam doesn't work any more ( was previously shift-9)

- in the Fcu of the 2d IFR panel some lights don't work any more (Ap, AT, Efis control )

 

I have attached the new version of the panel.cfg . (defined as .txt to get it accepted)

 

Guy

Hi,

 

I have just started to add the PA A380 to my FSX aircraft and would be very interested in getting the Panel.CFG file you are mentioning. I have also the PSS fleet in FS9 and would be very interested to have this also in FSX.

 

many thanks  Helmut

Can someone help me to make it more realistic using sweetfx.  

 

My PC specs are as below:

Core i5 2.9 Ghz

8 gb ram

1TB Hdr

GT 610

 

Everything else works fine and normally fps hits the 60's but realism hmmmm. Not what I expected.
