[Closed] Still problems with the FAIB Airbus

[Prisco 9]

Hey Simbol,

I'm a little bit confused,i still have some problems with the Airbus Types.

I downloaded the last versions from the FAIB site, but the lightsection looks different to your exploration. some have only 4 entrys, other there are the entrys 4 to 7 diabled.

[General] ....this is the 320 CFM
atc_type=AIRBUS
atc_model=A320
editable=0
performance=
Category=airplane

[LIGHTS]
//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landing
light.0=1, 5.998, 0, -5.835, fx_fsreborn_beacon2639
light.1=1, 3.718, 0, 8.5, fx_fsreborn_beacon2639
light.2=2, 0, 0, 0, fx_fsreborn_stab2639
light.3=3, -69.63, 0, 4.645, fx_fsreborn_navwhi2639
//light.4 = 2, -14.023, -55.505,  2.871, fx_FAIB_A320_strobe
//light.5 = 2, -14.023,  55.505,  2.871, fx_FAIB_A320_strobe
//light.6 = 3, -13.5, -55.151,  2.852, fx_FAIB_A320_navred
//light.7 = 3, -13.5,  55.151,  2.852, fx_FAIB_A320_navgre
//If you have Shockwave lights you can enable them by removing the "//" from the beginings of the next lines
//light.8 = 5, 0.09, -7.01, -3.778, fx_shockwave_landing_light_narrow // shockwave landing light
//light.9 = 5, 0.09, 7.01, -3.778, fx_shockwave_landing_light_narrow // shockwave landing light
//light.10 = 5, 37.319, -0.71, -5.463, fx_shockwave_landing_light_narrow // shockwave landing light
//light.11 = 6, 37.319, 0.706, -5.463, fx_shockwave_landing_light_narrow // shockwave taxi light

[General]......this a 321 IAE_S

Now i noticed, that i can't see any Airbus of my Airbusgroup in the preview on your airport. The airport is empty, other groups (like Boeing) are displayed.

There are red triangels (with an aircraft inside)  shown on the every entry of the airplane variation section.

Sorry, i can't insert any screenshot, i hope you know what i mean 🤦‍♂️

 

Please, can you giv me an advice to solve the problems.

thank very much

Hi there.

1) Check you are using the non wing flex model.

2) Check the fuel tanks selectors. Many times we have found on these forums people configured these wrong causing the lights on the FAIB to fail.

If you read the readme of the FAIB models, you will understand these have links to the fuel tanks selectors.

Thank you Simbal for your respons,

 

here is the fuel section i am using, i think it's like you wrote. May be, you find an error:

 

[fuel]
// Remove Center1 fuel tank to disable dynamic lights and enable custom light splashes
Center1=-41.4,   0.0, -1.5, 1.0, 0.0
// Uncomment Center2 to enable always on logo lights
Center2=-41.4,   0.0, -1.5, 1.0, 0.0
// Uncomment Center3 to enable always on cabin lights    
Center3=-41.4,   0.0, -1.5, 1.0, 0.0
// Uncomment External1 to enable always on navigation lights  
External1=-41.4,   0.0, -1.5, 1.0, 0.0
LeftMain=-9.7, -17.2, -3.2, 50, 0          //Longitudinal (feet), Lateral (feet), Vertical (feet), Usable(gallons), Unusable (gallons)
RightMain=-9.7,  17.2, -3.2, 50, 0          //Longitudinal (feet), Lateral (feet), Vertical (feet), Usable(gallons), Unusable (gallons)
fuel_type=2                                   //Fuel type: 1 = Avgas, 2 = JetA
number_of_tank_selectors=1
electric_pump=1
fuel_dump_rate=0.0167                        //Percent of max quantity per second, i.e. about 1 minute for full fuel

 

If i use the NWF Model, there is no double strobe for my AI. I had testet this.

HAve i to use the NWF Model for all FAIB Airbus, nethertheless wIngletsmodel or not?

Whats about the second problem i tried to describe, that the Airbusgroup is not displayed in the preview mode?

You can use the expert interface and select any models you want for preview. Just select it on the list and click preview.

If you don't select any, the software selects 17 ramdon models that are configured 100 percent correctly.

I suggest you use the fuel section that comes by default with FAIB, I know that works. If you cannot make these airbus work, review the installation of these as something must be wrong.

I also would advise to switch to AIGM-OCI, it uses all these AI models and automatically configures everything for you, so you don't need to waste any time modifying config files as now, which always leads to issues and miss configuration.

All the best,

Thank you Simbol,

i will have a look to all AI in the next days, to advice your tips.

The relevant sections of my FAIB A320 aircraft.cfg file (after applying the AILRP update) are as follows......

Each user will have different config and effects

[simbol 5,832]

Hi Chris,

I edited your post to avoid confusion. Each user will have different effects number and configurations depending of their system.. so it is not possible to compare the light configuration between USER A and B as they will never match after AI Lights Reborn has been applied..

The fuel config should be as your for the A320.. but each FAIB airbus requires a different config. This is why I strongly suggest to use the original config from FAIB or use AIG-OCI that set these for you.

Regard,

S.
