Hi,
so I‘m currently using the Thrustmaster Warthog base with a A320 stick from flightsimprojects.
Now I‘m thinking about switching to a Virpil WarBRD base and since the website states it is compatible with Thristmaster grips, I wonder if my A320 stick will then fit on there too.
Flightism projects sell separate A320 sticks for both bases, so it would seem the one doesn’t fit the other, but since Virpil says TM sticks will fit, I am confused.
Does anyone know?
Thanks
Stu
PS: I of course also asked the guys at flightsimprojects, but they (suspiciously 🙂 ) never responded.

Quite some time has passed, just wanted to report, Gatwick has still issues...
It tells me I'm off by 650ft to the centerline, which btw is exactly the distance between rwy 26L and 26R. -
Hi Marc,
just a small request, would it be possible to add a "bounce detection" of some sort?
Right now, when I bounce a landing, it will record only the final touchdown, which after a bounce is more than a greaser and not really what I'm interested in afterwards.
Slamming it down on the "first" t/d isn't recorded but the smooth second one is, which tells me nothing about where (and how bad) I messed up 😄 Can it detect both? Or at least rather the first one than the other(s) 😉Thanks
PS: also still hoping for a vertical altitude marker/line on the graph where that I can set somewhere.....(in my case 30ft - Airbus flare mode activates). Would make it easier to evaluate the timing during flare etc....

Thanks for the suggestion. I actually own most of them, but unfortunately none provide the above functionality afaik, mostly due to inaccurate schedules/data or lack of an option to exclude certain airports etc. A pilot‘s life comes close (although their airline schedules are also out of date), but it‘s all in a career context, unable to use it only to create a roster of just any airline, so not exactly what I am looking for.
I will take a look into the two I don‘t have though, so thanks again for the list.

Hi,
before I try to code something like this myself, I was wondering if anyone knows of a tool or similar that creates random flight rosters or schedules based on real world flights (ie for VA flying)…. ?
So basically a tool where I can set an airline, destinations/airports I own, desired max flight time etc. and the tool spits out a random list of real route pairs of that airline, either A-B, B-C, C-D etc. or A-B, B-A, A-C, C-A etc…
Does something lime this exist?
cheers

In P3D you can get the historic weather provided by a third arty addon, but not (yet) in MSFS ... However, you can manualy set the weather a bit like it was historically.
What challenge do you mean? PSXT aircraft are not detected by flightsim ATC programs.
Okay, got it, thanks for the explanation.
Well, by "challenge" I mean the general possibility that you approach/depart a runway and another plane comes in head on from the other side 🙂 But then again, that's kinda always a bit of a challenge with AI.
Thanks again,

Yes
thanks.
okay, so this poses a bit of a challenge then, since it might lead to AI using a different runway (the one that was used when the flight actually took place) than the live MSFS weather situation would suggest. am I correct? -
Hi,
I'm thinking about implementing this PSXT/RealTraffic setup and before I go ahead and purchase anything, I'd like to know how the historic traffic (a must for me) acts regarding the weather situation in MSFS.
Since MSFS doesn't yet provide historic weather, it would be a historic traffic in real time weather. Does the traffic then use the runway that is suitable for the current MSFS weather condition, or will it fly the track that has been "recorded" when the flight took place IRL? (not sure how this works, if it's just the aircraft that are historic or the complete flight incl. flight plans and departures/arrivals etc.)
Thanks for any info!

I took a look at your recorded approach data and it shows you landed with 0.6° of bank angle. In the summary listed on the top, this will get rounded to 1°. But in the plot it won't be so the deviation from 0° will be very small.
All in all, your approach looked very stable and smooth so I wouldn't worry about a 0.6° bank angle at touchdown 🙂
Okay, I'll stop chasing the zero then 😄
Thanks!

Hi there,
I recently noticed that on my last 30+ landings, the report's landing information always shows a 1° bank on touch down.
I find this "consistency" a bit strange, and I know that I have had very leveled out touchdowns as well. Plus, on the curves you can also always see a 1° "bank" even during rollout.Could it be that the Fenix and Aviaserver are somehow misaligned?
Cheers

Hi,
I wasn't reporting any issue, I just wanted to make sure it works before I buy a license 🙂
And it indeed is working.
Thanks
-
Hi,
sorry if this has been asked before: Should the Flight Monitor work with the Fenix A320?
Thanks
-
Additional ideas:
- Add Yaw/Rudder graphs
- Add direction of the center line deviation (L/R)

version 16.1 was just released which rectifies this problem.
It was caused by aviaFlyByWire that didn't handle certain addon aircraft - but that should be fixed now.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Ah okay, great!
Thanks for the quick support!

Hi,
I've been using aviaserver/flight monitor for months not and updated to the latest version today when I found out that while aviaserver is running, my joystick inputs won't "reach" the sim (I'm using the FSLabs A320-X). Aileron and Elevator controls are completely dead, it's only when I close aviaserver, they are working again.
Any advice?
Thanks,

I would use Herve Sors 'Airport Inspector and Editor' in preference Stu, no need to edit and compile, open the BGL and update the ILS using inbuilt current airac data.
Oh man, thank you so much!!! Worked perfectly!
That was a super-easy 3-click fix, awesome!Solved! 🙂
Cheers

Thanks guys, really appreciate your help and patience.
While I was able to point the application to the correct SDK plugins, it's still giving me errors while compiling, although I only changed one ILS frequency.Unable to do this.
Will avoid 27L when going to to EDDV.

In the folder setting page you should check you have the SDK, bglcomp and shp2vec installed.
Yup, I have it. Can't find any bglcomp.
-
Okay, you know what, I give up.
Apparently I'm missing some paths/files, a bglcomp exe which I can't find in any SDK, ADE asks me for the sim I'm using but the drop down menu isnt working, I can't enter the scenerey.cfg location manually...I guess this is for very FS9/FSX sceneries, not P3D.
But thanks for your patience and help. I'll just use the default ILS freq then.

Well, it's neither in the location you mentioned nor at the path that is set in my settings above...
It always saves only the project file, no bgl. -
10 minutes ago, G-RFRY said:Open settings then option and select save with BGL in the project tab all mine are saved to my backup drive, then place the new BGL in the Data /Scenery for the airport as shown for EDDL. But don`t delete the original Justsim BGL just edit to .OFF this way if you do it wrong you can go back by removing your BGL and turning back on the original BGL by removing .OFF . I use upper case then i know it`s my edit .

Thanks, but it's not quite working yet.
In the options you mentioned, I have a "With Bgl File" option, but even when I activate it, it will still only save a .ad4 file.
I guess I'm still doing something wrong.... -

This is the pro version but try selecting a new frequency from the drop down box this a JUSTSIM airport Bgl,
The pro version for $10 is well worth it and supports the developer for Flight sim the best tool you can learn.
Sorry, maybe I expressed myself unclear here. 🙂
Thanks for the advice, but I did actually manage to change the frequency, not problem there.
What I was asking was how I can save this modification into the BGL I opened. I don't see any command or anything for this....I can only save as a "project". -
2 hours ago, C2615 said:Use ADE(airport design editor) to edit it and recompose should be fairly easy, just make a backup in case the bgl content some thing that couldn't be compose (most likely to seen in some non-photo real freeware, on high end one those "some things" normally in different file)
Thanks for the tip. I have no experience with ADE, but I managed to open the BGL I thought was the right one and changed the frequency for the ILS 27L to 109.95.
But I couldn't figure out how to "save" the bgl... Can you give me another hint? Did I even do this correctly? 🙂
Thanks!

Hi everyone,
so I recently purchased JustSim's EDDV and noticed, that it uses wrong/old/default ILS frequencies. The correct ones currently published in the charts do not work.
So is there a way I can correct this myself somehow?
Couldn't find any update/fix online...BR & thanks for any advice,
Stu
Flightsimprojects A320 TM stick on Virpil base?
in Hardware Controllers: Joysticks/Yokes | Throttle Quads | Rudder Pedals | Drivers etc

Thanks, that's what I assumed too. I think I'll take my chances and just give it a try.
