Fenix A319 Glareshield - flashing light indicators

Featured Replies

After a week or two flying GA, I have just returned to the Fenix A319 and spawned it on a ramp at LIML. When it loaded up, both FD indicators together with the speed and heading indicators were flashing on and off. I thought this might be a random failure, but have been unable to find such a failure. Checked the breakers, and the settings to no avail.

Then downloaded the Fenix again, and spawned it at the same location - still get the flashing indicators. This happens whether I am on ground power or the APU.

Never had this before - has anyone else experienced it - and does anyone have any suggestions how to fix it?

Happy flying days.

Sounds to me like the startup flow for the FCU/FMGS etc, these units are "waking up" and initializing. Can be seen on a cold and dark startup too, once you sort some power to the aircraft!

Aamir - I have left it for plenty of time to initialise - every other display initialises fine - and I have been flying this aircraft since its release - so am very familiar with the 'waking up' and 'initialising' procedures.

Whereas the FD's, speed and heading indicators are flashing - the altitude in steady.

Which sim version are you on, @SquadronLeader and also which variant of the A319?   I've just tried one of the 319 versions in MSFS2024 and I'm not seeing the issue - but I maybe trying it on the wrong sim or 319 versions.

Going to uninstall and reinstall to see if that works

I think that was the version I tried - but I'll have another go with it.  Back shortly. 👍

Nice Livery!

 

But nothing untoward here: 

Spawned Cold and Dark at LIML; turned on External Power and took a photo as the screens were still initialising; took a photo once all of the instrument boot-ups had settled down.

The FD lights booted ON but steady - not flashing.  Speed and Heading not flashing.

Uninstalled and reinstalled - changed Fenix aircraft variant  - and still experiencing the same issue.

Not sure what to do next.

Many thanks Aamir - I will do - just thought I could sort it out myself - but obviously not on this occasion.
