John Dowson Posted September 8, 2020 Report Posted September 8, 2020 If it works on the Boeing but not on the Airbus, it sounds like an issue with the Airbus model. I'll take a look and see if this needs reporting to Asobo, but I don't think this is an issue with FSUIPC7. I'll report back once I've investigated. Thanks for the report.

Thanks for answer 0x07D4 it work like on a320: AP ALT set 5000 0x07D4 = 5000 AP ALT encoder turn to alt 3000 AP disp in game show 3000 in but offset 0x07D4 = 5000 push confirm AP Alt button AP set 3000, 0x07D4 = 3000 😞 is it possible to know offset for AP_ALT_VAR_SET_ENGLISH event ? THANks Edited September 8, 2020 by Karl_Yoghurt

I'm not sure I understand the log snippets you posted. How did you generate them? The A320 log (which you say isn't working) is using the AP_ALT_VAR_SET_ENGLISH event - is this via offset 0x07D4? The Boeing log only shows inc and dec controls,.

The offset only changes when the AP Alt is set.... I'm a bit confused now.... let me check this....
Karl_Yoghurt Posted September 8, 2020 Author Report Posted September 8, 2020 i will make video for understanding
John Dowson Posted September 8, 2020 Report Posted September 8, 2020 Just now, Karl_Yoghurt said: i will make video for understanding I don't think this is necessary. Are you saying that the AP Alt inc/dec controls are reflected in offset 0x07D4 for the Boeing directly when sent, but not in the Airbus until you confirm with the AP Alt (set) button/control?

John Dowson Posted September 8, 2020 Report Posted September 8, 2020 Btw, how are you sending the alt/dec controls? Is this using FSUIPC, or are you operating it in the UI? If the latter, can you activate event logging in FSUIPC, and see what events are being sent when you do this. I suspect that FSUIPC may not be seeing the alt/dec events in the Airbus,, but are in the Boeing.
Karl_Yoghurt Posted September 8, 2020 Author Report Posted September 8, 2020 in UI and by MobiFlight Project (encoder) i just turn knob and push confirm in game UI - log FSUIPC7.log
John Dowson Posted September 8, 2020 Report Posted September 8, 2020 Sorry, but you log doesn't tell me much as its a 'continuation' log - I can't even tell what aircraft you were using. Anyway, it doesn't matter, I think I know what the issue is, but need to look into this a bit further. I'll get back to you, but I suspect that the airbus is not updating the AUTOPILOT ALTITUDE LOCK VAR simulator variable correctly.
Karl_Yoghurt Posted September 8, 2020 Author Report Posted September 8, 2020 0x07D4 offset also perfect work on Cessna Longitude AP

UPDATE ap ALT change by 65893 and 65892 events but i cant confirm alt set by events (also i can find button in game controls) i try look in log events - nothing problem only in a320

I have reported to Asobo. Edited September 10, 2020 by John Dowson Reported to Asobo 1
John Dowson Posted November 29, 2020 Report Posted November 29, 2020 @Karl_Yoghurt The latest release of FSUIPC7, v7.0.2, contains AUTOPILOT ALTITUDE LOCK VAR:3 at offset 0x0818 - this may contain the value you are after (the altitude displayed on the FCU in the A320). See https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/a320-fcu-variable-autopilot-altitude-lock-var-vs-displayed-altitude/307093/3 John
John Dowson Posted December 1, 2020 Report Posted December 1, 2020 For AP issues with the A320, please note the following post from Asobo: Quote We are aware of the AP issues with the A320 and the team is working hard on a fix to resolve this with the next update. In the meantime from FlyByWire: The Direct Link: https://github.com/flybywiresim/a32nx/releases/download/vmaster/A32NX-master.zip Thank you for your patience. Best regards, Royal John
