Topic: ver 2.6 beta 3 WIN/MAC 64 bit

First beta, please use it if you really want take part in beta-tests. It is a long way to test 2.6 in beta mode, cause a LOT of internal changes was made for this version. v.2.6 MCDU internal structure and internal data transfer code have huge difference compare with 2.5 and become like a330 now. For this reason a number of issue may happen for this beta stage.

beta 3 Change list (from beta2 stage)
+Dest EFOB at FUEL PRED Page fixed
+AirFMC indication fixed
+"blinking" displays fixed
+No TCAS alert sounds fixed
+Cockpit lights fixed (not sure about Compass Lt)

ver 2.6 beta 3 WIN/MAC 64 bit
So, this is the next 320 MCDU/ND improvements - reworked flightplan path (add TMPY FPLN, GA FPLN, ND), new SASL v2.4 implemented (should fix CTD when exit X-Plane), add Saitek Throttle Quadrant support (for LG, Flaps, GSpoilers control)

———————————————————————————————————————
——————————HOW TO INSTALL:——————————————
———————————————————————————————————————

Download link http://jardesign.org/a320/download/inst … V2.6b3.zip

HOW TO INSTALL:
  - be sure, that you use X-Plane 10.41 (64 bit only)
  - copy unziped "320neo_JARDesign" folder to ..\X-Plane 10\Aircraft\ folder
    (be sure, what you are not use nonEnglish symbols in aircraft installation path)
  - start X-Plane 64 bit and open a320, activation window is going to show up
  - enter your serial key (Regcode), click NEXT and after a successful activation reopen aircraft via X-Plane menu
  - activation works well with both MAC/WIN 64 bit

If your activations are over (activation error) - use contact official support http://www.jardesign.org/ticket/kb/faq.php?cid=1

———————————————————————————————————————
——————————IMPORTANT NAVDATA NOTES:————————————
———————————————————————————————————————

FMS NAVDATA Update:
v.2.6 use NavData from
../X-PLANE 10/Custom Data/GNS430/navdata/ folder
if not find there - will try to read it from
..X:/X-PLANE 10/Resources/GNS430/navdata/

If you need update your cycle, please use Aerosoft/Navigraph
- “a320/330 Native format” or (the same in fact)
- “XPLANE_GNS430_777WORLDLINER_FF757PROF_NATIVE”
and put new cycle to ..X-PLANE 10/Custom Data/GNS430/navdata/ folder


———————————————————————————————————————
——————       "BETA" is version for Beta-testers!!!    ———————————
———————————————————————————————————————

This is beta version for X-Plane 10 64 bit. "Beta" mean what some may work wrong. Please report about wrong thing, but only thing what changed in this beta - Flightplan part, MCDU work, ND work

Please not discuss things what are not in "whats new" list. Please post your opinion direct here. When you post some, please follow some rules like this http://jardesign.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=861

Of particular importance will be issues:
- Drawing (wrong, sure) SID/STARS on the Nav display (please attach a screenshot of true drawing from documents and wrong drawing from your ND, specify the SID/STAR, approach, runway, name of the airport, AIRAC cycle and provider)
- Displacement of characters on the MCDU screen (attach screenshots please)

Please read a FAQ before you post a bug http://support.jardesign.org

Re: ver 2.6 beta 3 WIN/MAC 64 bit

Hi !

So, I will provide you a step-for-step instruction:

0) Win10x64, XP10.42 release version.
1) I have installed the A320 2.6 b3 from the archive, no changes.
2) X-Plane 10\Resources\GNS430\navdata
   -> updated cycle to 1511, using format xplane_gns430_777...prof_native
     -> deleted the old one, copied the new one.

    remark: It does not only depend on 1511 version, older versions show same problem.                 
   
3) Created a flight plan "a320neo_2.6b3/FlightPlans/EDDFEDNY.txt"
   containing:
   
   EDDF SID ANEKI Y163 NEKLO Y171 INKAM T725 LAMGO T721 SUL T732 GARMO STAR EDNY
   
4) Start xplane, load A320neo_2.6b3

5) press hot start button.
   wait until all comes up.
   
6) INIT PAGE: EDDFEDNY -> CO RTE
              ALIGN IRS
              Flt Nr: LH555
              Cost Index: 30
              Crz Flight: 250
            -> next page
              ZFW -> Click
              Block -> Click

7) F-Plan PAGE:
            EDDF -> Click
            Departure -> Click
            07C -> Click
           
            Here is first problem: ANEK1D is listed twice !!
           
            Select first one: ANEK1D -> Click
            No Trans -> Click
            Tmp F-Plan -> Click, Insert -> Click
           
            SID looks good !! :-)
           
            EDNY -> Click
            ILS06 -> Click

            MOKOP -> Click

good day,
the video is up-loading now so give it a few minutes and you can see the loading of my route just like you did 
1) starting XP and set-up at EDDF
2) Hot start
3) flight plan made before the load up so ready for the flight
4) = # 6) INT Page  (ok)
5) = 7) when setting up depart ok on 07C click->

-> —-> first not issue but different name of SID ANEK1D for me is named ANEK9D so, I clicked on it —> then No Trans ->>  no double no bad
I have this as my data file tree but my Nave data says that it is still the original nav data yet i put it into the trash and there is only Navigraph data loaded into the XP app

this video show the route loaded ok in the aircraft MCDU with the Nav data I am using and doing the procedures that you used.

Re: ver 2.6 beta 3 WIN/MAC 64 bit

Hi !

1) You are using navdata in the a320 directory ? I thought this will not work any
     longer with 2.6B2 and newer version ??

     So I do not have a NavData dir in a320neo dir.

     -------FMS NAVDATA Update:
     v.2.6 use NavData from
    ../X-PLANE 10/Custom Data/GNS430/navdata/ folder
    if not find there - will try to read it from
    ..X:/X-PLANE 10/Resources/GNS430/navdata/

   If you need update your cycle, please use Aerosoft/Navigraph
   - “a320/330 Native format” or (the same in fact)
   - “XPLANE_GNS430_777WORLDLINER_FF757PROF_NATIVE”
   and put new cycle to ..X-PLANE 10/Custom Data/GNS430/navdata/ folder
--------------------

2) in "\Resources\GNS430" I updated the NavData also.

    If I restore the old and original cycle (what was 1405, included in xplane) the flight plan I have entered
    is working.



=> So the problem starts if I try to update the NavData. I do not know which versions make the problems,
      but 1511 and 1504 do make problems.

That's because you are using old navdata. in 1411 there is ANEK9D, newer ones use ANEK9F

And I guess it has something to do with the following lines:

SID,ANEK1D,07C,4
...

SID,ANEK1D,07R,4
...

SID,ANEK1D,ALL,5
...

The "ALL" is new, maybe there are the problems....

yup I have tried to up-date but the data will not up-date !
Ok now I have the data updated so back to the issue

Re: ver 2.6 beta 3 WIN/MAC 64 bit

Good day,
I was able to up date to 1513 and have the route still work right until i looked at the whole route then i saw that it is 17741nm long so, something is wrong with the waypoints.  I can send you screen shots if you want
Brian

  EDDF SID ANEKI Y163 NEKLO Y171 INKAM T725 LAMGO T721 SUL T732 GARMO STAR EDNY so this si the same route as the http://onlineflightplanner.org so I must do some more data search!

This is the way the route should read you need to replace the waypoints  where I have put dct with (DCT) and it will be a good route ! then no STAR No VIA on the EDNY just RW06 OK and you will have the route you were looking for ...
//* EDDF SID ANEKI DCT NEKLO DCT INKAM DCT LAMGO DCT SUL DCT GARMO STAR EDNY //

Yes I ran the rout above it is a nice little route and the flight level should be lower since, the route is so short more like 18500 is more of a up and down 100nm route ...

Re: ver 2.6 beta 3 WIN/MAC 64 bit

Hi Mr. Romanov,

I'm relatively sure that bug#1 (double ANEK1D) are the SID constrains at EDDF (and other airports, too).

SID,ANEK1D,07C,4
SID,ANEK1D,ALL,5

Start at runway 07C leads to the constraints "ANEK1D" because of "07C" matches "07C"
Start at runway 07C leads to the constraints "ANEK1D" because of "ALL" matches "07C"

And now we have two "ANEK1D" displayed in the FMC. And nobody knows which one is which.

I have no idea how this is solved in "real live", but I think there must be some "priority handling"
which decides Runway 07C -> "ANEK1D/07C is shown because of "07C", ANEK1D/ALL is shown
because of "ALL" matches "07C" but not shown because of "ANEKI1D/07C" mached before, so priority
says "NOT SHOWN" -> do not display.

best regards,

Ok, I tested your route. I changed the route and replaced with "DCT" as you suggested.

Result: No change. It's broken again.

The only thing that helps a little bit is to ignore all, star, trans, just set runway. The result is:
http://jardesign.org/forum/img/m/552/t/p1a6oh7cske7qkqok6alc81kcf3.jpg

Then, of course, from GARMO direct to ARGEV to ILS06. That is OK for what I have entered,

But that's not what it should be...
