Majestic Dash 400 ACARS Problem

Featured Replies

Hey bought Dash 400 on Saturday. Nothing but praise for plane.

 

Only thing run a VA and having problems with acars software.

 

Tried Smartcars and Kacars. Tracks flight but landing rate plus 1000 or more

 

Xacars doesn't start because it can't tell when engines are started or stopped.

 

I know this is caused by FDE running outside of FSX, but wondering if there is a setting in MJC control panel which might resolve this.

I managed to get FTG Acars to work by selecting "Shift=P" twice in quick succession.Before taxi.

Sounds daft, but it worked. Then it started recording the flight.

System: MSFS2024, ASUS Rog Stryx Z790-A,  Intel i9-14900KF,  Asus ROG Ryujin III 360 , Asus Hyperion Case,Rog Stryx 4090 OC, Samsung 970 EVO M.2 SSD, 1Tb Samsung 860 EVO SSD,64Gb G Skill Memory, Asus Aura 1200W Gold PSU,Win 11 ,LG C4 48" 4K OLED Screen., Airbus TCA Full Kit, Stream Deck XL. WinWing FCU, EFIS, MCDU

 

I noticed air Hauler wont recognize it either. Bumber dude!

So that's why it looks like I am nosediving into the tarmac all the time on the flight logs... makes sense now.

Due to the FDE integration, some of the variables that are reported to FSX will seem erroneous.  Hopefully we can look at addressing this in the near future.

Thank you Simeon. Great Model.

VAFS works fine...after you start the engines, press CTL-E and away you go!

Thanks Will, good find.  so I am assuming that one would have to invoke CTRL+SHFT+F1 to shut the engines down.

 

I have done some testing with several add-on loggers Flight Keeper, Avaliasoft's EFB, and noticed that some parameter do get logged, whilst there are some parameters the Flight Keeper recognized that the Dash did not respond to.  (The turbulence issue is one that we are investigating though because it does work at times).

Tried that with Air hauler and though it does allow to start it keeps resetting to engines off when changing prop pitch from MTOP to MCL. CTRL- E puts prop pitch at MTOP.

I can confirm this as well, landing data does yield a rather excessive value.

Yes, but it surprised me that it would register a climb value, not descent.
