Foreword A320 FMGS software is a freeware solution to replicate the real Airbus A320's Flight Management & Guidance System (FMGS) and main electronic instruments for Microsoft's Flight Simulator®. My aim with this software is to achieve the greatest realism possible, given the limitations of FS, my free time and my programming skills. As of this writing, the following systems are (partially) modeled: • FMGS • AP/FD & FBW • Primary Flight Display (PFD) • Navigation Display (ND) • Flight Control Unit (FCU) • Multifunction Control & Display Unit (MCDU) • Engine /Warning Display (E/WD) • Status Display (SD) • Overhead panel and subsequent ACFT systems • Brakes triple indicator • Stand-By instruments The present guide will depict every functions implemented in the software. To do so, I will first describe every instruments then we'll hop on-board an imaginary flight from Toulouse Blagnac (LFBO) to Nice Côte d'Azur (LFMN), to master the FMGS operations. DISCLAIMER: This software is by no means related to Airbus, EADS or any affiliated group. It is intended to use only as a recreational software together with Microsoft Flight Simulator. Do not use as a part of training toward any kind or aeronautical certification, be it private pilot or commercial pilot training. This software should cause no harm to your computer. In the very unlikely event damage occurred to your system, I won't take any liability. Use at your own risk. I started this project to fit my homecockpit hardware. The commercial alternatives are very expensive, their price tag is prohibitive regarding the money I want to spend on a FS hobby. All commands are interfaceable with hardware through FSUIPC. If you use OpenCockpit's I/O cards, see chapter 13 for easy integration. If you use FDS hardware (I/O cards or complete modules), you may use the FDS module for easy integration. Check the relevant folder for more information. If you have any questions, remarks or anything you want to say, you can do so either via e-mail ( jeehell “at” jeehell.org) or through MyCockpit.org forums. If you don't feel like reading the whole guide, please read at the very least the FAQ (Chapter 15) at the end of this guide, or the First Steps Tutorial. The use and distribution of this software in any professional environement is prohibited without a proper licence. JeeHellWare A320 FMGS Beta 19.2 User's Guide Version 19.2 05/08/11 Page 6/200 2. Installation and customization 2.1. Requirements ◄ You need a PC with MS® Windows running. It has been tested successfully with XP(32bits) and Seven (64bits), it should work with Vista, and won't work on any other OS such as Linux, OSX, ... (unless you use some kind of windows API emulation). The communication with Flight Simulator is based on Peter Dowson's FSUIPC module. You'll need an up-to-date version. (At least FSX version V4.60, or FS9 V3.98, APPARENTLY, V4.70 is not yet compatible!!!!). 2.2. Installation It is plain simple. Just unzip the archive file containing the software to the folder of your choice (for example c:\games\FMGS ), making sure to keep the same folder structure inside that folder. It should look like this: Avoid using a folder inside c:\program files ! JeeHellWare A320 FMGS Beta 19.2 User's Guide Version 19.2 05/08/11 Page 7/200 2.3. Networking It is possible to deport all instruments/interfaces to computers over a network. To do so, you'll need WideFS from Pete Dowson installed and of course registered. As well as discussing with FSUIPC, the instruments need to share data so a little tweaking is required. you've probably noticed a file called network.cfg, present in the FMGS root folder, with the following structure : IP=localhost Port=8003 Assign to IP field the IP address or the Hostname of the computer running the FMGS server. If you run all instruments interfaces on the same computer (even if deported from main FS computer), you can leave “localhost”. For the port number, I suggest you leave 8003, but you can freely change it (firewall/routing problems etc...). To avoid overload, I use different ports for some of the instruments, but the range used starts at the server port. So to be safe leave 10 ports open starting from the port declared in the network.cfg. 2.4. Airbus Style Fonts Thanks to Christoph Paulus, the FMGS software comes with two fonts replicating the Airbus style. The AirbusFMGSMCDU.ttf is dedicated to the MCDU while AirbusFMGSScreens.ttf can be used for all other DU's (PFD, ND, E/WD and SD) These fonts were kindly “donated” to my project, but remain the intellectual property of Christoph. Do not redistribute them without his consent. You can contact him through his web site www.dalpi.de. In order to use the fonts, you need first to install them manually (right click install, or copy directly in windows\fonts folder). Then, in each DU, click the “Select Font” button and browse to select Airbus FMGS MCDU or Airbus FMGS SCREENS. I really would like to thank Christoph for the work he has done!! JeeHellWare A320 FMGS Beta 19.2 User's Guide Version 19.2 05/08/11 Page 8/200 2.5. Aircraft.ini These files are located in the FMGS Server\PERF\ folders. Use this file to adjust your FS model to the software. It should look like this after a fresh install: EPR/N1=N1 Baro=mb VFE_1=230 VFE_1+F=215 VFE_2=200 VFE_3=185 uploads/Management/ user-guide 68 .pdf
