Module for A32NX

[NicolasTAP 6]

Hello all,

Has anyone a profile for the MSFS A32NX (flybywiresim/a32nx) ? 

Thank you

There is no point issuing a aircraft specific module yet as there are still no Lvars available to develop functions. Only default functions can be used.

Thank you

Have nice weekend

I'm working on it: https://github.com/joeherwig/A32nx-LINDA-aircraft-module

Feel free to join the development.

Thanks for your contribution Joe.

I am finally able to control the range and mode with my MCP. 👍

 

I have a few LVARS to share to anyone that I found using AAO.

I find these valuable because the mouse click area is so small (A32NX FBW developer version).

L:A32NX_SWITCH_TCAS_Position=SET (sets the TCAS knob from off to TA/RA)

L:PUSH_AUTOPILOT_CHRONO_L=SET (the push button on the glare shield area to start the timer)

L:PUSH_OVHD_CALLS_ALL=SET (button to clear the cabin ready warning)

Hi @lancealotg Thanks for pointing it out.
Added it in Version 0.4

Feel free to fork the repo and send me a PR for your addition.

Hi Joe

I have been working on some functions. I had some problems and I think I found the answer. ipc.readLvar was not working sometimes  when "L:" was included the with variable. I have changed the Battery functions A32NX_OVHD_ELEC_BAT_1_PB_IS_AUTO not A32NX_OVHD_ELEC_BAT_10_PB_IS_AUTO and they now work. Also I have added APU start/stop using Lvars. I am working on increase /decrease display brightness but not having much luck. Uses control 67227 with parameters 84 .. 94 can be seen the the console, each parameter is a different display but there is no way to apply a direction?

Frank.

Hi,

Sorry Idk if I am doing something wrong but when I try to use the battery related command they don't work for me. Can you please guide me about what I may be doing wrong as in FSUIPC log it says attempt to compare number with nil. All help is appreciated thank you.

Regards

[Carliolian 1]

Hi ????

I think you probably don't have the WASM  installed. Download and install the latest FSUIPC Version 7.2 from  

https://forum.simflight.com/topic/92507-fsuipc7-v720-beta-release-new-facility-to-add-lvars-to-offsets-for-both-read-and-writeupdate/

@Carliolian Hi, I do have the WASM module installed, I am using the latest FSUIPC version. I have tried all the battery related command such as toggle/set/on/off, I am unable to get any of them to work. Maybe I am doing something wrong in Linda. What commands are you using for the battery switches to work, thanks your help is appreciated.

Regards

Waqar

A32NX_OVHD_ELEC_BAT_2_PB_IS_AUTO is for the FBW A320 neo It can be watched in 

Developermode -> Windows -> model behavour debug -> LoCAL VARIABLES.

If you are not using FBW A320 then it will not be there. SO the "if" statements will return a nil.

Hi, 

I have tested and watched the local variable in the developer mode and for me its A32NX_OVHD_ELEC_BAT_10_PB_IS_AUTO and A32NX_OVHD_ELEC_BAT_11_PB_IS_AUTO when I press the battery buttons in the cockpit even when using the FBW A320 mod. I am using the build 0.6.1 stable version. I have managed to get the batteries working directly using FSUIPC but not using Linda which is a pain tbh. If you have suggestions it will be helpful thanks.

Regards

Waqar

well I guess I will be reviving this thread a bit as I search for all those fuel pumps and everything on the overhead panel that you have to do to startup the A/C

 

I found one command that does 5/6 fuel but not the right most one.

There is an issue with the fuel pumps switches. If all fuel pumps are switched off the engines will shutdown as the FBW A32NX does not assume gravity feed to the engines. Therefore, the ALL pumps OFF functions leaves the right most fuel pump on to prevent possible flame out.

yeah I just caught that and tried to edit that out in the actions.lua file but that hasnt seem to have taken. I have a toggle switch that id like to operate all those pumps. If I switch it off that is on me 🙂 pressing the toggle and having one pump not change is making my OCD flare up.
