Help with CFG tweak

Recommended Posts

Hi All

I am trying to merge the PA Airbus's with Wilco panel's and I'm happy with the results so far except, I need to make pitch adjustments for the "AOA" to the A321 and A380 in level flight and on approach . Can any body tell me which elements have to be changed within the aircraft CFG to get the pitch angle I want. Currently the A321 is a little too nose up and the A380 a little too nose down. I'm using Wilco's flap settings so they display properly in the panel at the moment but of coarse they dont work as well as the original PA flap settings. Many thanks in advance for any help that is given.

 

Best regards

You only need to adjust the [flaps.0] section with the Wikco settigs, the other flap sections can be left alone as PA intended. In PA FDE (if understood correctly), the flaps.0 section does nothing to lift and drag.

 

If after returning all oher flap sections to PA settings fails to fix your issue, try adjusting the cruise lift scalar in the [flight_tuning] section. Hope this helps.

 

PS: Which panel do you use for the A380? I've never tried to merge a panel to this plane.

Hi Luis

 

Many thanks for your reply. Just to make it clear what I have done, I've put Wilco Flap settings into the PA Aircraft cfg so the "flap stages" show up properly in the Wilco panel display. The PA settings do not display properly  in the Wilco panel. However, would the same principle you stated above still apply? Many thanks once again.

 

PS: Originally I used the PSS panel for the A380 but now I am trying to use the Wilco A340-600 panel.

OK. All you need then is replacing the flap angles in the [flaps.0] section, but leave the scalars in this section at the original zero values (as set by PA). The other flaps.x sections should be left untouched. That's all AFAIK.
