Marten@Stairport Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 We might do it someday. However I still don't understand why they don't connect that to the default x-plane datarefs like all other developer do. They know how to do it because their Boeing aircrafts work perfectly.

HaW Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 The reason for the difference to their other aircraft is that the FF A320 was ported from a stand-alone A320 simulator and therefore is not using XP internal datarefs nor flight model. They have now added datarefs that XP understands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaW Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) I have another issue. All the jetways I have added to sceneries leave a significant gap when connected (see screenshot). Is there a way to correct the gap? Many thanks, Hans Edited February 20, 2019 by HaW added screenshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten@Stairport Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) On all aircrafts or only on the FF 320? Works fine for me with the latest version. Edited February 20, 2019 by Marten@Stairport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaW Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Thanks Marten! I installed the latest version and re-installed all the jetways and it’s working as expected now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaW Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I have another couple of questions. 1) Is there a possibility to change the order of the jetway animations? I believe it wold look more natural if the order were like this: >Rotate3>Extent>Rotate2>Rotate1 (wheel direction adjustments when needed) 2) There is a possibility to synchronize XP datarefs with FFA320 datarefs using the FFA320 Connector. Which XP datarefs are needed for SAM to function automatically? Many thanks Hans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaW Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Thanks Marten! Turns out that the FFA320 "inner workings" keep the XP dataref for the Beacon lights (e.g. sim/cockpit/electrical/beacon_lights_on) in a permanent ON state. Looks like nothing can be done about it at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonOlsen Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Hallo Marten, Is it possible to use the dataref "a320/Overhead/LightBeacon" for the FF A320? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten@Stairport Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Yes it is technically but its a lot more work than you might expect. If we find enough people willing to pay for that we sure do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marten@Stairport Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Can only estimate, probably something around 300-500€ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argaeus Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I must admit that after the updates, the automatic connection of the jetways to FF A320 is broken. You can manually connect though. Just fyi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcgaub Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Hi, I developped a small LUA script to synchronize the FF A320 Beacon with XP11. You need to have FlyWithLUA installed. Create a new textfile with .lua extension in the script folder, and copy the following script inside the file. After that, the Jetways work in automatic mode. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- ffa320-beacon.lua Copy FF320 Beacon Status to XP11 Beacon status - SAM auto mode working -- -- VERSION: 1.0.0 Author: Marc GAUB : marc@gaub.lu -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- local DEBUG = 0 -- for debugging -- Functions -- function switch_beacon() DataRefID = XPLMFindDataRef("a320/Overhead/LightBeacon"); if (DataRefID == NULL) then if (DEBUG == 1) then logMsg("A320 Beacon : DATAREF not existing") end else dataref("xp_paused", "sim/time/paused") dataref("a320_beacon_lt", "a320/Overhead/LightBeacon") dataref("sim_beacon_lt", "sim/cockpit/electrical/beacon_lights_on", "writable") if (xp_paused == 0) then if (a320_beacon_lt > 0) then if (DEBUG == 1) then logMsg("A320 Beacon : beacon enabled") end sim_beacon_lt = 1 else if (DEBUG == 1) then logMsg("A320 Beacon : beacon disabled") end sim_beacon_lt = 0 end end end end -- Main -- if (DEBUG == 1) then logMsg("A320 Beacon : Start of FlyWithLUA script") end if (AIRCRAFT_FILENAME == "A320.acf") then do_often("switch_beacon()") else if (DEBUG == 1) then logMsg("A320 Beacon : Not in the FF A320 cockpit") end end 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
