Fenix A320 Flap Binding Issues?

[Treetops45 1,082]

All my aircraft have the Flaps bound to a lever on a Logitech Pro Throttle Quadrant, without any issues, & it gives me variable flap settings.

The Fenix A320 Flaps are not accepting the binding & don't respond to the Logitech flap lever.

Anyone else have flap issues, & anyone got them running off a Logitech Throttle Quadrant?

Have you try to setup in fms page 3 juste where you have setup throttle levers ?

Do you mean in the MCDU??

Haven't got to that yet, but will check it if that is where you mean.

Thanks

You can't use the flaps until you do the MCDU calibration.  So this is the answer you seek

I thought it was quite handy and easy how they built in a detent system into the mcdu. I don’t think anyone has done this before? Usually it takes a third party program to do this and it’s not nearly as easy. Lots of brilliant work in this addon. It may not be perfect but I think it’s the most well thought out study airliner created to date.

Worked out the flaps in the MCDU, thank you.

Must say the Flight Control Unit is way different to the 737's. I'm looking around for LNAV & VNAV buttons to no avail.

I need to find a good description of how the Flight Control Unit & A320 Autopilot works.

Airbus logic is quite intuitive when you get the hang of it. You push to hand the control to the computer. You pull to override anything that MCDU would like to do. You can think of it like this: Pull towards yourself to take over. Push towards the computer to let it take over.

Thanks for info.

How do you 'pull' the dials? (Mouse?)

Do you have to set that up via the MCDU?

Well then... I've been flying like this for a couple of days now.

Can this be done while in the air, or is it strictly a ground operation? I'm at FL330 with some time to kill. 🙂

Put your cursor near the bottom of a knob. When you see a little arrow pointing down, that would be towards you.

Thanks.

\I saw something on one of the Demo flights, top left of the Flight Control Panel had a sign saying "STD".

What sign should there be if you just want to bypass the MCDU & set up a flight that has a Heading, VS, & Altitude level off, & Speed set for Auto throttle?

If you assign the flaps axis via FSUIPC, please do not calibrate it there: FSUIPC wants to impose their conditions (sorry, Pete and John), considers Flaps 1 and 1+F as two different positions and gave an extra detent for this. I don't remember having done so for the FBW A320.

Ok

I have tested this using the VS dial & the Nav dial & the Altitude Dial.

In each case all I get with the Mouse arrow hovered over the dial is a 'hand' symbol. no arrows up or down.

I click when I see the hand but don't notice any movement at the dial.

I can rotate the dial using the mouse wheel, eg, to set Nav direction.

Look in general options -> accessibility and make sure "Cockpit Interaction System" is set to "Legacy"

Flybywire Sim did that for their NEO, and Aerosoft for their CRJ. Only difference is that their calibrations are to be found in their respective EFB's.
