new Beta Fenix A320 v0.3 (16 Jun 2022)

[ScotFlieger 280]

This module has been developed for use with the Fenix Airbus A3200 running on MSFS 2020.

The module requires use with LINDA 4.1.4 and FSUIPC7 7.3.6 or later. See Note below on Lvars.

Due to delays with MSFS exposing Lvars to FSUIPC7 on start-up, it is strongly recommended that you start MSFS2020, load the Fenix A320 ready to fly and wait a minute before starting FSUIPC7 and LINDA. It is also recommended to click Restart LUA Engine as the last thing.

A full list of functions is provided via the link below. Default configuration setup files are provided for all VRi MCP panels and CDU2/3. However, no testing has been possible on the MCP1 (Original) panel and no guarantees can be given.

Version 0.3 beta provides most important functions for operation of the aircraft. Some function names have changed for consistency. This version provides the following improvements:

• Removed Fuel MODE SET from Fuel Pump ALL functions
• Added Side Stick AP Disconnect button functions
• Added Throttle ATHR Disconnect button functions
• Fixed EXT PWR OFF function
• Fixed Master Warning and Caution functions
• Added limited VRI FCU ALT display
• Added FO EFIS functions
• Added Weather Radar functions
• Added multiple functions for BAT, EXTPWR, ADIRS, AICE, HYD,  BLEED, PACK, Radio Power, BRAKE FAN, XPDR and ECAM
• Fixed duplicate ENG1 Anti-Ice functions
• Renamed APU Bleed functions
• Added ENG1 and ENG2 Bleed functions
• Added PACK1 and PACK2 functions
• Added HOT AIR functions
• Added HYD PUMP Button functions
• Reduced VRI FCU Knob fast sensitivity
• Fixed Pedestal Flood All dec function
• Fixed Autobrake functionality

Due to limitations in the available interface it is not possible for the VRI FCU Speed, Heading or Vertical Speed to be displayed; the Altitude provides limited synchronous display provided Alt Step left on 1000ft. The FCU Knobs are not animated but functions are provided for rotation, push and pull.

The module makes use of a number of extra features provided by FSUIPC7 including WAPI/WASM. These features allow LINDA to access the Lvars and offsets as well Hvar and .EVT events. Users will need to make several changes to their set up to fully exploit these features.

• Edit FSUIPC-WASM.INI to add the entry LvarScanDelay=x where x is 45 or 60. See FSUIPC7 Advanced User document pg 45.
• Edit FSUIPC7.INI to add the entry UseAirLocForProfiles=Yes under the [General] block.
• Ensure block [WAPI] / EnableWAPI=Yes is present in FSUIPC7.INI.

The Fenix A320 should display around 2100 and 2200 Lvars and no Hvars. A problem with Lvars will display a Check Lvars message. Any value different from these or the warning will require that MSFS and FSUIPC7/LINDA be restarted.

Report any problems and issues on the LINDA Support sub-forum.
