A321 FBW - Advice and offensive initials not allowed

[badgenes 125]

OK so I've watched A320simpilot's videos but apparently missed something critical: when typing in the EFB for Simbrief the sim processes my input too which equates to all sorts of s**t going on/off.  As well, I am no longer able to input my simbrief userid in the MCD.  Obviously these are critical issues that prevent a proper flight setup so if someone can perhaps correct my mistakes I would be most appreciative.

Try left click on the EFB whilst holding the right ALT key and it with create a second window which you can type in withour affecting anything else in the aircraft.

I'm fortunate enough to only have to reset the parking brake 😄

A321? They have that now?

Fix your MCD issue: delete FBW mod and reinstall using their installer from scratch

 

as per the EFB entries that is a known  issue My login switches the lights and de-ice on.

To the FBW devs who frequent this board, can I suggest adding a keyboard to the EFB so we can click keyboard keys on the EFB itself? I'd post in discord but I cannot.

Yes, Air France flies them.  However my post cannot be edited to correct my mistake so....FBW A32NX

One minor annoyance (which I'm sure will be fixed at some point) is that, unlike in the MCDU, your user name isn't stored in the EFB. Also - I thought there was a move to switch to pilot IDs instead of user names <??>.

OK so I've removed the mod, downloaded the latest installer and installed stable this time and still I go into the MCDU, AOC, Options, Simbrief and not able to enter after inputting userid.  I must be doing something wrong but not sure what.

ahah i get it now.  numerical numbers...

You can add a feature request on their GitHub page.

OK so again I'm stuck.  I've got my numbers numbering, I've got a flight plan on simbrief, I goto Init Req and...nothing happens. no alternate route, etc.  I will say I did load the flight plan via MSFS...is this why this is failing to load the remaining info?

Not sure which versions is being discussed here (Stable, Development or Experimental) but I use the Development version (b79537a) current one.  I have no issue with entering just my sim brief username via the keyboard, then mouse clicking somewhere in the blank area on the EFB screen for it to accept the input.  Then on the EFB's first page I select the 'sim brief' button, it loads and all works fine.

[badgenes 125]

stable version but I was running the dev version.  so you are inputting into the EFB, clicking SimBrief, then are you clicking Link MCDU?
