[ Closed ] ver 2.4 beta 3 WIN/MAC 64 bit (Page 1 of 2)

And sure.. Thank you for your testing!!!!!!!!!

Good morning JAR
I think you misunderstood me with my question last night (Sound Engine). This must of course not be immediately, but would be a nice feature. I do not know whether you have already seen this video:

I need you to make a huge compliment. What is possible with your new sound engine, in my opinion is for a giant leap in X-Plane.
I suspect this will provide developers for sound new opportunities.

So now, but enough of flattery;-)

And a small tiny report again for b1 edition. I will check out B3, when being back from hospital this afternoon, and - may be - how the bird performs in cold and dark according to FCOM03 SOP.

But now a short resumee of around three taxi trials, two under good weather conditions, one with standing water on taxiways.

Taxi in general looks fine, getting a more realistic shape. A big plus is that the oversized lateral acceleration of the plane while turning got considerately reduced. It makes the plane working more realistic.

Joystick electronic noise while operating on ground also has reduced somehow. (Stick used was Logitech Extreme 3D pro) Even with a dead zone of 15 percent, I had rudder movements in 2.3 just because of placing my hand at the flightstick. The problem exists also in 2.4, but on a more limited base. Yet there were interferences on the taxi steering and - probably - also on fbw.

While doing flight control check on ground I recognized that the bug has been solved, that kept ailerons stuck to last stick position. Setting the stick to neutral again, made both flaps lower to neutral setting again. Nice

Turn and turn performance also looks good so far. Was it easy to keep a 90 degrees turn with 30 knots with the 2.3, you will blasted of Taxiway with 2.4 doing so. So I felt that the taxi Performance is pretty much closer to reality and has to be kept in limits outlined in FCOMS.

Additionally, I checked out once, how the bird behaved in Taxi under bad weather conditions, doing some Slaloms in Moscow on taxiways with standing water. Still very much stability in it. I missed a bit the characteristic slippage of the nose wheel, that I could feel in 2.3 on a Taxiway with standing water.

Hot start function: I am no expert for Hot start function at all, mostly getting the bird alive via cold and dark procedure. So mistakes in usage made by me can also be probable. From three hot starts, one stalled right after take off, one worked very well, and one was accompanied by a pretty strange behaviour looking like extreme turbulences. MCDU Perf, MCDU Init, MCDU FPLAN have been properly set before take off.

Climb: Puh ... In Autopilot-Mode the A320 have been extremly high in vertical speed, ranging between 4500 and 5000 ft/min and with a Cost Index of 30 set at MCDU. I guess here some fine tuning is still needed.

Additionally, a resumee for the current b3: SASL-CTD-issue has been solved for me with b3. Activating the Aircraft worked fine.

Also sound issue got solved now.

Read you later

Maybe need try the same trick as for Windows?

replace from

to
/Users/theodumoulin/X-Plane 10/Aircraft/A320/

Hi !

I could register the 2.4B3, but now xplane is ALWAYS crashing, regardless which directory i use:

Aircraft/A320 -> crash
Aircraft/320neo_JARDesign -> crash
Aircraft/heavy metal/320neo_JARDesign -> crash.

Beta 3 is working really stable on my Mac. Had a short test flight from LSZH to EDDL today, didn't experience that Climb problem with 5000ft/min at all. My only annotation is, that the PFD and the F/O were freaking out about that we'd need more drag. I never had this situation at all and it was completly pointless as we were in a stable cruise flight at FL330. I like the improved FBW

With my test flight I was very pleased.
Thanks.

Regards
Dieter

Good day,
here is a screen shot of the settings I use for the A320Neo and the A330; I hope they help everyone.

I made one flight without problems, then I becoming to have CTD SASL issue, even renaming the folder to A320

SASL ERROR: Error loading panel: not enough memory
--=={This application has crashed because of the plugin: SASL}==--

Concerning the SASL-out of memory CTDs. Changing the Name of the A320-main folder to a similar structure like the ones used in A320neo 2.3 helped, at least  in my case.

As the problem is - too long path, this should help
move sim folder from
E:/fsim/X-Plane/X-Plane 10/
to
E:/X-Plane 10/

This closing at the start of x-plane is more than a path issue, on my Mac X-plane is installed on the Desktop. I have moved and renamed the folder to "A320" and placed it in the Aircraft folder and it still crashes on startup.

SASL ERROR: Error loading panel: not enough memory

I have 20gig of memory installed.
