FSAirlines tracker and FSLabs A32X

[FLR2109]

Hi,
I'm lucky... I'm a Early Adopter of A320 FSLabs.
I tried it with the tracker of FSAirlines. There is some little issues.
First, the tracker doesn't detect the parking brakes. It's not programmed like other aircrafts, but runs still with the Parking brakes buttons of FSX (AES has the same issue). I tried to programm a button with FSUIPC, the brakes are ON in the aircraft but always no detected by the tracker.
Then, the tracker doesn't detect the position ON or OFF Landing lights. This time, in programming 2 buttons of my joystick, it's possible to do detect the positions ON or OFF.
Can you look with FSLabs how to modify your tracker program.

Thanks in advance... too bad for penalties

PS : sorry for my english

Nobody to help me
Do you think there is a possibility with FSUIPC with LUA for exemple

[EDIT] I have an information from FSL. The name of LVar used is : FSLA320_ParkBrake ... perhaps it's useful for your devs

Thats the problem with payware that does not follow the standards. We can't really customize the client for every different aircraft out there on the market.

Ultimately I would like to eliminate the parking brake penalty and replace it with something else, just not sure what that something else would be.

Thanks for your answer Joe.
You are right but I think in the future the A320FSL will be a "reference" in the aviation sim world.
It's an good idea to remplace the parking brake penalty by other,If it's too hard to change the tracker
Even with the brake penalty, I will continue to fly on this fantastic aircraft and with FSAirlines

Hi,
I have another issue with A320 FSL and the tracker.
3 times (in ~30 flights) I had a refueling> flight aborted without real refueling. 2 times it was in final and 1 time during taxiing to the gate.
it seems that it happens when there is a transfer between the outer wings tanks to the main wings tanks.
Would it be possible to slightly increase the margin before the detection of refueling ?

Thanks in advance for your help

Not to sure if this is going to help,

With captain sim and PMDG aircraft I had to set the fuel pumps before starting any flight. Then starting the client with the fuel loading already done.

In flight I wasn't able to play with the fuel pump settings despite the annoying errors stating fuel flow ratio etc etc. In the end the tanks would be uneven but stopped the client from thinking I was cheating. Could be worth a go?

Hi,
Thanks for your answer
I run the tracker always after I have set the fuel in the aircraft. For PMDG, Majestic, IFly and other aircrafts.
I had never a refueling in flight and I have ~300 flights with FSAirlines... I have a refueling only with the A320 FSLabs.
The FSL A320 is a very complex aircraft.... but it's so fantastic

Hi,
About the false refueling, I have an "interim solution"... I set the fuel more than calculated (1.5 t.) to prevent the transfert between outer tanks in inner tanks of wings. Since I have no refueling

Aloha,
No news about the parking problem .... I have a proposal for you.
I think you could change the brakes penalty (which is a minor error) by a penalty for a touchdown more 500 feet/min. This is a deserved penalty

I have had 45 penalties because of the parking brakes

thanks in advance

You must have been either reading my mind or reading this forum!

We are planning to do exactly that and have already done it in the beta client (v2.2.0.b4), parking brake penalty is removed, hard landings are in!

I would simply like to add that I am experiencing these two issues (parking brakes penalty and refueling) with the latest version of FSLab's Concorde-X. Surely they've updated some Concorde-X systems with some coding of their A320, as I did not have those issues in the past.

I'm glad to read there's a new version "in the oven"

One last comment. On Concorde-X I'm experiencing another issue. Even using the CONTROL+SHIFT+L shortcut the client does not detect the landing lights switch. I have to click on the FSA client first, so that it is the "active" window, and then use the shortcut. It is not the end of the world, but that did not happen with previous versions of Concorde-X

Bests,

Edit: I have just read about the new v2.2.0.b4. I will give it a try as soon as my last flight gets reviewed for an "inflight refuelling"

Aoha Joe,
It's a good news from you... thanks a lot

Hello everyone,

I have the Airbus A320 from FSLabs (Flight Sim Labs) and the same problems with the penalties of "refueling" and "landing lights" with the client v2.2.0.b6.

The penalty of "parking breaks" I haven't seen in this version, for that of "landing lights" in this version of the client we have the option of the button, although this penalty is ridiculous.

For the "refueling" happened to me in the landing with a popup window that automatically finalizes the flight, which causes to have to repeat it.

Does anyone know of a solution?

[FLR2109]

Hello,
for the landing lights, you must program 2 keys or joystick buttons with FSUIPC. Select a button and aassign "landings toggle" or 2 buttons with "landing ON" and "landing OFF".
For the refueling, I calculate the carburant with SimBrief and put 60 min carburant reserve. Since I havn't any refueling.

[grecc93]

Same problem with the refueling. Couln`t finish one flight without the refueling error.
Also the reserve didn`t help.
Hope there will be a solution.

Regards
