never mind

Are there any CPDLC experts here? I'm currently flying US ops and most carriers there don't have the DCDU installed. Does that mean these aircraft are just not capable of CPDLC or should they still get the clearances via the AOC pages on the MCDU? I can request a PDC via the AOC page and then the ATC alarm flashes on the panel, but despite getting a message on the MCDU AOC page that "request received" I don't get any clearance there. So does CPDLC work without a DCDU via MCDU AOC pages or how do US carriers do it otherwise?

• [2024] Fixed missing flap sounds on 320WF
• [2024] Fixed refuelling panel door interaction not disabling when fuelling with GSX
• [2024] Fixed various cockpit clickspot precision issues
• Fixed A319 rear cargo bay texture issue
• Fixed A321 CFM cockpit bass too strong
• Fixed CFM N2 too loud in certain conditions
• Fixed CFM buzzsaw high-pass/wrong tonality
• Fixed missing sounds under some conditions (if the soundbuffer is overwhelmed there will still be a chance of missing audio)
• Fixed A319 custom cabins not working
• Fixed right side engine exhaust effect placed incorrectly

EFB

• Fixed potential errors when processing PDFs
• Fixed potential issue with EFB brightness being saved with very low values

Launcher

• Display options are renamed to reflect their appropriate use. USE ALTERNATIVE DISPLAY RENDERER → USE DISPLAY SAFE MODE. PREFER CPU RENDERING → FORCE SAFE MODE CPU RENDERING
• One time reset of display options to recommended defaults

I have had sound stutters and pauses after this patch. A319 CFM in MSFS2024. Thankfully no WASM crash or other issue but the sound. Hopefully @Aamir is aware of this issue.

Also, now the GPU Panel State has stairs as default… I wonder if that could be selected to Jetway instead as a default?

Can you try rolling back to v1986 via the red dot in the installer next to the previous version? I'd be interested to know if that clears your sound stutters.

To add, this is the first report I've seen of sound stutters related to either BFU or Patch 1, but will monitor for sure.

I just installed the update

 

Anybody experiencing the wind noise too loud in the cabin ? seemed better the initial version. 

Yes it seems to me too.

I had reported that the A320 CFM engine sound was too loud during takeoff. I noticed that with patch 1 it was not fixed.

Is it possible that the engine sound in the cockpit during take-off is more intense than the sound experienced by passengers next to the front engine?

i'm with MSFS 2020

Hey - we're dialing in this new sound implementation so volume levels were sort of all over the place, we're knocking them back into shape now, but if you wish to try some fixes, a branch is available. Simply click the little icon on your installer, right next to Fenix A320 Base Pack that looks like a little fork almost. Enter: bfu-sound-fixes-2, and then click OK and update your install.

Anyone find - GLS - symbology missing...  I tried - GLS Y 25L - at Frankfurt EDDF a couple times....

...and  the plane tries to land too short, before the Piano Keys. (If keep AP on past MDA)

Thank you for the prompt response, I tried the new option and found the A320 CFM sound in takeoff from the cockpit view still too loud compared to the passenger (front engine) view and compared to the videos. It will definitely improve, thanks again for your excellent work.

Just wanted to see if this is still an issue for others, but when you specify an initial descent IAS on the perf page, does your plane still default to that specific IAS as soon as it starts descending instead of descending with the specified mach setting then switching over to IAS when they match? I remember bringing up this issue previously but not sure if the updated vnav was supposed to fix that or even if it is a bug.

Just on a side note, regarding flying the A320 in SU 3 Beta:

Until now I always had the impression that up and down drafts in rain clouds only really affect small planes like the 172. But today I was silly enough to try to approach EDDP 26R in really terrible weather. I captured GS at 3000 ft but catched a hefty up-draft which resulted in an overspeed warning. I stupidly continued just for the heck of it and got several windshear warnings just before touchdown. Very impressive. I will never do that again!

This may be s simple fix, or even user error, but since the update I can't get the comm radio's to work. They're just black screens.

In Las Vegas, that's just a regular occurrence.

You may not get all those warnings, but during the day in summertime, Asobo's exaggerated and unrealistic modelling of thermals and turbulence wreaks havoc with any aircraft.

That worked!  Thank-you!!  Flying without sound stutters, noticing the changes, appreciate the team's efforts.

There are some issues with Panel and Pedestal lighting, however I know it’s a WIP. The sound did not spasm whatsoever. There is a bit of engine sound looping but the stuttering is gone!

I just tried the A320 sounds and the wind noise is much more realistic now. Does not sound like there is a huge blower fan in the cabin.

Engine sounds are great also. 

 

I managed only today to do my first flight with the BFU update, the PFD and ND refresh rate is really poor now after the update on my side, nothing else changed, is this happening to other? (MSFS2020)
