Given that I know how the glideslope indicator works, I know for a fact that it is not a bug in the A320-family, since the glideslope indicator has absolutely nothing to do with the A320 - it comes from the C++ code.

If you think there's a problem, you need to raise this on the issue tracker, not here.

I really couldn't say, but my initial theory would be that you were initially too high. That theory is supported by the fact that you were too high. It is also supported by the fact, that the second time, where it clearly worked, you were not too high.



The only change that may need to be done to the A320 is that the GS should really disconnect when you have a bad signal quality like that.

Agree ^

Perhaps you latched onto a "false" GS higher up - again a FGFS issue. We pull the deflection DIRECTLY from FG's NAV instrument as does the 737YV.

It is strange, I tested Concorde, I flew "under the radar" and GS indicator was too high even 0.5nm from LOC/ILS/DME 27R. So it is not problem of A320family. I made next 3 same low level test flight withs 737, GS indicator was in correct position. Simply, I do not understand. Lhasa is mystical place :)

Actually not an issue but can happen in real life too...

False glideslope confirmed. I made testflight with A320family and autoland was successful.

Hi!

Since Airbus A320 was uploaded by FlightGear, I have a problem with MCDU.

I write the origin and destination airports on the INIT page and after on the F-PLAN page should appear both airports and for example I could choose take off´s runway. However, I haven´t choise and I can´t enter manually my flight plan, therefore I am not able to fill FPL or fill departure proc.

Do you know how to solve it?

Thanks!

Um... that screenshot doesn't look like one of our MCDUs...
Also, why is this image coming from the X-Plane forum? If you're using indeed X-Plane, you should ask there...
If you're running flightgear and I just got confused by the image, then please give use the flightgear log so we can look for errors.

The image is X-Plane yes, but is the same that is happening in my FlightGear. It´s the first screenshot that I have found in internet. I´m sorry

okay, then please provide us with the flightgear log of that session so we can look for errors.

After a week trying, it occurred to me to uninstall the plane and reinstall it and it works again. Thanks for trying to help me.

In the 3D branch, the reversers got an overhaul.

Since my new JSBsim System based FADEC (that have been in the plane for a while now), the throttle computations are FINALLY separated from the FADEC's behavior and thus the input can be controlled in a much more modular way.

This means, we can finally allow use of the throttle to control the reverse thrust power. DEL toggles in and out of reverse like always. I have kept the F1/F2 bindings as they may be useful for keyboard users. This plane's reversers will now work more similar to the "standard way" that FG planes typically do it.

In the future, I will make further changes that allow the reverser engagement to mapped to the throttle axis's lower area below Idle, as requested by a few guys. This overhaul was necessary in order to even begin to think about implementing that.

Kind Regards,
Josh

Oh yeah, it will feel much more natural and intuitive that way ! :) Got something like this on my PC-6, so i can tell ! ;)

awesome... then I can finally do away with my hacky reversal stuff (allows me to open reversers mid flight)

Hi there,

I've been flying the A320-271N and I love it! I think I may have found a bug. For convenience, I do use the Radio Frequencies menu (F12) to switch frequencies. So far everything works great: ILS on NAV1, ADF1, and COMM1. However, I've noticed that VOR frequencies don't work well via that menu. The corresponding blue needles won't show up on the captain's navigation display when I activate the VOR selector. The workaround is to manually add VOR frequencies via the MCDU console. Not a big deal, but you may want to check this. You could also provide ADF2 support on the Radio Frequencies menu since there is only ADF available (ADF1).

Moving to another topic, I'd like to contribute to your development by submitting three deliveries for the Spanish airline IBERIA. I went to your GitHub repository and saw two active branches. Should do I directly make a pull request on branch 3D?

Best.

Edit: I've already done a pull request on branch "dev" with 2 IBERIA airline deliveries.
