Hi guys,

 

You've probably noticed the underpowered engines, and by changing one variable they can be much better. Just swap in 19.6 for the "inlet_area" section, and you should be good to go. Still a bit weak, but hey, it can actually climb at 280 KIAS at 3000 FPM now.

 

 

You can climb at 3000ft/mn, but at low altitude, but more the plane is high altitude, less the climb rate must be. See in my "User manual" the sheme about my VNAV gauge, and you will see that over the aircraft climbs, the higher the rate of rise decreases because the engine power decreases with altitude.

 

Most FSX aircrafts are overpowered and are not realistic. The Project Airbus are realistic for this point. and I spent many hours calculating its climb curves with the weight of the aircraft in real time when I have created my VNAV gauge.

how do you pull up the moving map with the TCAS?

Hi Peter,

 

 

 

Excuse me, but I don't understand what you mean....

what ctrl-# brings up the new panel or window that shows the moving map with TCAS / Terrain etc.. it is not in the readme or anything on how to activate this window?

See page 12 of my user manual : To display the radar map, set the ND selector on "PLN" position :

 

 

 

and if you click on, the radar popup larger. The scale selector work also with the radar map.

 

 

I spent a lot of time writing this manual in English (excuse me for many mistakes), then please, read it

Anyone with any idea how that VasFMC is installed onto these aircraft? Just downloaded all 3 after reading this thread.

 

Merci, Francois, for this wonderful add-on.

Very fine products. It's hard to believe I didn't have to pay for these.

Yes, I understand what you mean, and I don't disagree. It's just that it took excessive amounts of throttle to do anything. I felt that it couldn't quite keep up with your VNAV gauge, witch is great by the way, and a first in the freeware "market".

 

When I engage ALT on the ground, the vertical speed goes wacky after takeoff, unless I disengage and reengage ALT hold.

 

Great planes though, and are you doing an A321, since I'm sure someone here's going to ask?

I have installed the A319 and A320 aircraft and all I can say is "wow". I finally feel good about simulating flights that use these aircraft.

 

Really looking forward to the A321, and A330/340 if you decide to do these as well (I think you mentioned you planned on this).

 

Thank you, and Project Airbus, so much for your great work.

 

Merci beaucoup, Francois!

thanks!! now for some ACJ models or repaints to go along with them

Do not engage "ALT" on the ground.Either you take off manually and you engage VNAV (and not ALT) when the aircraft is 2500 feet above ground level, or you engage VNAV (not ALT) on the ground, before take off.

 

In this case, you must before select the target altitude (3000 feet minimum), armed A/THR and set the heading of the runway in "HDG" but not engage HDG.

when the aircraft in on the ground, you have just to press VNAV button, not other AP buttons. This is the VNAV gauge will engage automatically the AP and the ALT/HDG/SPEED mode after take off.

 

Read the VNAV chapter in the user manuel.

 

 

The VNAV must be engaged when the aircraft is on the ground (before take off) or when the aircraft is above 2500 feet AGL. I f you press VnAV button immediately after take off, it will not be run.

 

When the aircraft is flying, (above 2500 ft AGL), you must be in AP mode with SPEED, ALT and HDG or NAV engaged before press VNAV button.

 

 

 

MAy be my curves not perfect and in a case , VNAV must be set a VS too hard. When Vnav is active, you can adjust manually all settings (vertical speed, speed);

 

 

Please, report me if you find that the vertical speed is not right, and in this case, tell me :

 

- the type of aircraft (A318,A319 oir A320)

- the weight of aircraft

- the altitude where the problem is happens

 

This will allow me to update this curves and I will make a gauge update.

But I have made hundred of test with members of a french forum and the curves must be right.

 

 

Excuse me again for my bad english.

I'm not one for button pushing my way through the sky but I downloaded your fantastic and cute looking A318 and actually really love it!

 

Great handling qualities through my Microsoft FF stick - I've have had much fun performing touch and goes.

 

Definitely the "cutest" airliner I know. If I'm allowed to describe an aircraft as "cute" ;)

There weren't any "problems", so to speak, but haven't you noticed that instead of reaching the set speeds, it generally hovered a good 40-80 KIAS behind them? For example, VNAV set the speed to 310, but it's at 260.

 

Nope.

 

 

 

 

Hi daveo; If you click on the primary Ecam area where display the consumption, all values will be in lbs.

See page 13 of the user manual :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As well, if you click on the pfd area which display the target altitude, it will be in Flight level or in feet.

 

 

Thank you for your feedback

Thanks for the heads up on that. It was a late night download and flight and of course no manual reading at 3 am. :-)

I have installed the A319 and A320 aircraft and all I can say is "wow". I finally feel good about simulating flights that use these aircraft.

 

Really looking forward to the A321, and A330/340 if you decide to do these as well (I think you mentioned you planned on this).

 

Thank you, and Project Airbus, so much for your great work.

 

Merci beaucoup, Francois!

 

 

 

Thank you very much

 

 

 

Yes, the next step will be the Project Airbus A321 (V2.1). It will be ready in few days....

 

 

 

After, I would like to adapt A330/340 by tom Ruth and also the 747 v4 by Posky, but I need the authorization of the authors before......

 

 

 

Have a good flight

I am glad that you like it

Have a good flight night

Is it possible to disengage HDG? I deselect but unable to manually control direction.
