Fenix help?


Recommended Posts

Hi,
I'm trying to use this with the Fenix A320 but I always get either one side's ailerons doing something wierd on approach, reversers not activating after touch down, parking brakes staying set on takeoff, spoilers suddenly deploying during the takeoff roll etc...

Is there a certain "procedure" how to replay a recording with the Fenix correctly?
Do I need to setup the aircraft in a specific way before loading/playing the recording?
Are there things to make sure to avoid when doing the replay?

 

Thanks!

Hi ! For addon aircraft if you have problem on reply  i advise always  to record your flight , go to main menu , make a new flight , place yourself in a runway and load replay and play . This procedure ONLY if obviously have problem replay a flight in the same session when you recorded the same flight .

anyway you can send me your recorded flight via email? Flightonfly@gmail.com

Okay, thanks, I will give it another try with the procedure you described above.
One reason I purchased this was an FSElite article stating quote:

"... This latest version continues that trend with a new user interface, better integration with PMDG and Fenix products."

So I assumed there has been made some special adjustments to make the recordings of control surfaces etc. possible in the Fenix.
Right now, I get the same results with free tools like SkyDolly. But i will keep trying...

Thanks

Thank you Antonio ! 😉

"... This latest version continues that trend with a new user interface, better integration with PMDG and Fenix products."

Yes for Fenix and PMDG you ll have Spoilers, Reverse, Ailerons, Elevator, Rudder , Gears, Flaps for both and you can use Live Ghost Features as well. I ll have some more enhancements for the next (free because minor version) Updates of FCR.

Same here, I bought the 4.5 version around 2 months ago because it was advertised to work with PMDG and Fenix

but very disapointingly it doesn’t

flaps, gear, reverse is animated but the other flight control surfaces is not

I need a proof video that it animated corectly before even thinking to purchase the new version

Yes, I did try so many times by going back to the main menu and restart the game with Fenix plane on the runway. And then load the FCR file. The spoilers went up insanely during take off. This happens for every each single reply.

I keep coming back to this, especially after the latest update that stated "...supports the events of the Flaps, Gears, Ailerons, Spoliers, Reverse Thrust and Slats."
Unfortunately and to my disappointment, it just doesn't work for me with the Fenix, Not a bit. I just recorded and replayed a recording and neither flaps nor ailerons or spoilers were played back correctly, in fact they just did nothing. I really don't believe this will ever work with an airliner that uses its own external flight model.....

Hi! 

Did you reinitialized fenix before load replay from fcr ? I tested your file recorded in news build and it works

Hi Fabio,

would you be so kind and explain what exactly you mean by "reinitialize" the Fenix? Could you give me a step by step guide? 
What I did was just open MSFS, load a fresh scenario with the Fenix and then loaded the file in FCR.
(Ideally, I'd like to review my landing right after I ended the flight and disembarked the passengers)

And what do you mean you tested "my file"? I never sent you any file.... !?!

Cheers

Hi! 
 

sorry I confused you with a previous user .

reinitialize it means go back to the main menu (after finished the record) and select runway , select fenix and position it in the runway . After you ll load recorded flight via fcr 

okay, any specific panel state recommended?

Did another 2 tests, it's just not working here.
The recording does not respect gear position, flaps and ailerons at all, spoilers only randomly and the ailerons do strange stuff during replay.

I'm sorry, unless I missed setting something specific for the Fenix, I'd say this just isn't working.
If you have a specific setup, timing, procedure and scenario where this worked, fair enough. But a general, practical day-to-day recording scenario (start record at 3000ft AGL during approach then stop recording at the gate, then watch your arrival in a replay), FCR just can't handle it I guess....

Okay, seems to work way better now, thanks!
Flaps, spoilers, reversers are played back quite correctly, only ailerons are still acting up a bit (only the port side for some reason). Will keep testing.

Hi Fabio,

do you think you can do something about that left spoiler always being up as soon as a aileron movement is recorded? 
No idea why it's only the left one, doesn't matter which way the turn is recorded but as soon as aileron movement is replayed, the spoiler goes up and either stays up or goes down about half way.... (See video of a replay)
