Have question: Where do put: asobo-aircraft-a320-neo asobo-vcockpits-instruments-a320-neo asobo-vcockpits-instruments-airliners fs-base-aircraft-common ? is it to Community folder or only Asobo-aircraft-a320-neo?

[Venorcis]

Might be useful too, the directly relevant parts of the official changelog (from https://www.flightsimulator.com/patch-version-1-8-3-0-is-now-available/):

• General: AP behavior improvements.
• A320neo: automatic speed management improvements.
• A320neo: alpha floor condition is now correctly triggered.
• General: weight is better taken into account for V speed calculations.
• A320neo: target altitude can now be changed when AP is disabled.
• A320neo: armed modes no longer appear in boxes on the FMA.
• A320neo: flaps « FULL » indication instead of « F » on ECAM.
• A320neo: FMGS message « INVALID ENTRY » replaced by « NOT ALLOWED ».
• A320neo: FMGS now only displays arrival procedures corresponding to the selected runway.
• A320neo: FMGS now correctly displays ETA for approach points.
• A320neo: removed remaining waypoints on ND after selecting different approach procedures.
• A320neo: fixed heading bug alignment offset issue.
• A320neo: fixed missing runway in the perf page of FMGS when a departure runway is already selected.
• A320neo: fixed constraints flickering on ND.
• A320neo: FMGS block fuel indication now correctly initialized.

[Middi28]

yes but where to put all this folder? xD

None of these are things you should ever touch manually. This ticket is not installation or update instructions.

[Middi28]

ahh just put it in steam-Official and replaced with current folder but took backup off it, so what is the latest update to use with the new version ?

You should never be looking at or touching the packages in the official folder or any branches on this github prefixed with "asobo"

[UncleClapton]

theres nothing you should be putting anywhere @Middi25X, Everything you listed are things that the game downloads for you. rule of thumb is, if you do not know what you're doing with the files in the Official folder, you shouldn't even go in there. Placing anything wrong within that folder could damage your install.

[Middi28]

put all back again for sure :)) But A320N 1.7 is this one go for Community right ?

[UncleClapton]

@Middi25X Right now the mod is broken and incompatible with the current version of the game. I don't recommend using the mod at all until we can get an update out.

[Middi28]

Okei thx for all help and info just wait then :D !

[UncleClapton]

Working on FLTs, flight model, and systems.cfg now.

720

[tyler58546]

Just finished MCDU #721

[UncleClapton]

Working on A320_NEO_INTERIOR.xml, Panel.xml, and all the model behavior XMLs

[Benjozork]

I'm gonna work on Airbus_FMA.js, A320_Neo_PFD.css and A320_Neo_PFD.js.

[lukecologne]

• [ ] A320_Neo_UpperECAM.js
  • [ ] Some things are using Simplane over simvars directly now O.o

The upper ECAM shouldn't be a problem, SimPlane is mostly just a wrapper for SimVar calls. Sometimes it's a bit more logic than that but it should be fine. If you want, I can open a PR and add these Simplane functions to types.d.ts, and implement the new changes

[DoToAdventures]

Done FCU.js #730

[lukecologne]

UpperECAM done #731

[UncleClapton]

Just finished work on SAI (ISIS) #737

[UncleClapton]

Working on MFD/ND now.

[Middi28]

Good job! :D How long will it take before release?

[JackZ974]

For the PR that affect the PFD:

• 613 can be included IMO, since it is working as is and the code changes do not break anything in the PFD code (verticalspeed.js has not received any changes)

• ASOBO fixed the horizon desync in the PFD.js code, so I guess that the Fix horizon #611 is no longer needed

• 616 is broken

• 612 is broken

• 558 can be incorporated, provided name change of variable (I'm on it)

[JackZ974]

Made necessary name variable change to #558 for compatibilty

[adenflorian]

i will close this since the last porting pr (MCDU) has been merged
