Hello,

I announce my 3 years work : Project Airbus A320 FD-FMC version

Aircraft can be downloaded on AVSIM library with this link (free account required) :

http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=pa_a320fd-fmc_iae_cfm.zip&CatID=root&Go=Search

FD-FMC is a simplified FMC, with an unrealistic appearence, but a real flight management. Indeed, it offers real vertical navigation features.

Only for FSX+SP2 or P3D.

Many thanks to Project Airbus team that authorized me to use their fabulous Aircraft, and many thanks to all Project Aitbus forum members who help me to debug this panel.

Please,read the user manual provided with the Aircraft.

Francois,

 

Thanks for your contribution in bringing this aircraft to all for free.

Thank you greatly for your contributions to the community. I know a lot of people depend on freeware because it is so tough paying for all the addons out there on a limited budget.

Thanks !

 

You can see a video (HD) of the essentials parts of a complete flight, controled by FD-FMC (beta version 0.95)

 

 

 

an other video(HD) : Take off from LOWI Innsbruck with real SID Rwy26, where you can see manual startup (with an older beta version of the panel...)

 

Hello,

 

Some new and updated airports have been added to the database, for FD-FMC.

 

You can dowwnload them here : http://freenavdbgroup.com/?p=830

 

Think to download the new AIRAC file (version 10172015).

 

A FMC update coming soon. This update fix some minor bug and add the LOC back course Approach mode (used in some airports, like KRDD).

 

Check this thread to know when update will be available.

 

Francois

 

 

 

Good flight

Hello,

 

New FD-FMC 1.14 is available for A318 and A320 FD-FMC.

 

you can download panel updates here : http://freenavdbgroup.com/?page_id=159  (each aircraft, A318 and A320, has is own FMC, but VC texture are the same for all aircrafts).

 

This update fix the X-Bleed issue; You have to download panel update and new VC texture to get the right position of X-Bleed selector on VC and 2D overhead.

 

Now, Pitot sound alarm can be disabled by press on Master Warning.

 

 

Original aircrafts pack are available on AVSIM library with the following links :

 

A318 FD-FMC 1.12.1 : http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=&Name=&FileName=pa_a318fd-fmc_cfm.zip&Author=&CatID=

 

A320 FD-FMC 1.0 : http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=&Name=&FileName=pa_a320fd-fmc_iae_cfm_331210.zip&Author=&CatID=

 

 

New Airports will be added to the SID/STAR/Appr database Saturday.

 

And A321 beta version is under construction....

 

Happy Good year 2016 from France.

 

Francois

A happy new year to you, Fracois!

And merci beaucoup for your fabulous work.

Thanks, Francois! Happy new year to you, too.

Hello,

 

A321 FD-FMC is now available. FD-FMC version is 1.20 (some minors bugs fixed and new features like holding pattern with 2 altitude constraints, and multiple/no standard gradient for special approaches.

 

A321 has new AIR files (CFM and IAE) with flight dynamics improved.

 

Now Airport database has 217 airports !

 

all information here (with link to download this new aircraft on AVSIM library) : http://freenavdbgroup.com/?p=1068

Francois,

 

I just happened to stumble upon this thread - I hadn't realized these wonderful freeware packages were available.

 

Thank you and the other members of the team for all your hard work to make this project a reality! I have downloaded the files and am looking forward to installing them.

 

Regards,

Scott

I just installed the rikoooo.com package of the project airbus, and I just now saw that there were these updates for it. I intend to install everything. Please let me know when the VC updates for the A321 are ready. Thanks!

 

Excellent job everyone who worked on this! This is just what I needed!

Hi, I have moved on to the Aerosoft bus now, (maybe soon I will move to something else...) but I would like to say thank you for getting me started in serious flight simming. Your addon is the one that made me get interested in the realistic stuff, like PMDG, and Aerosoft.

Oh sorry for the delayed answer !

 

I was very busy with the project, because I am preparing an important update and an auto-installer program:

- New descent gauge with improved code to follow target speed

- Many small bugs fixed

- FMC can manage now for an airport : 202 SID, 130 STAR and 16 approaches per IAF. (old value was 102 SID, 66 STAR and 14 appr/IAF). THis change was required for huge plateform with many runways like KDFW Dallas Fort Worth )

 

FD-FMC version 1.50 coming soon and the pack will have an auto-installer program because many user have difficulties to install by hand aircraft.

 

So, it will come with 240 airports in its procedure's database

 

I think that it will be availbale before end of July (A318, A320 and A321).

 

François
