ToDo List
Electrical
- Files
- /Nasal/electrical.nas - [1]
- Notes
- Aircraft already uses Syd Adam's Jet Electrical system.
- To Do
- Move Nasal file to a dedicated directory in the Systems folder?
Hydraulic
- Asigned Developers
- Narendran
- Branch name
- develop
- Files
- All Hydraulic files in /Systems/Hydraulics Directory
- Notes
- Will start work on the hydraulic system as soon as the cockpit is ready
Instruments
- Assigned Developers
- Jon
- Narendran
- Branch Name
- develop
- Notes
- PFD - Rebuild 3D Instrument, use better textures and markers - COMPLETE
- Upper ECAM (EICAS) - Rebuild 2D Instrument with latest A320 ECAM Layout (3 section)
Pneumatics
- Asigned Developers
- Narendran
- Branch name
- develop
- Notes
- Include basic pneumatic air pressure system, also include system cooling functions.
Fly by Wire
- Asigned Developers
- Narendran
- Jon Ortuondo (Bicyus)
- Polly
- Branch name
- fbw-devel
- Notes
- Basic airbus flight conrol laws and flight phases/modes work. FBW converts pitch-rate, roll-rate and g-force (over 210 kts) and converts to control surface outputs using pids. Also, when stick is neutralized, fbw shifts to stabilizer pids where trimmers maintain pitch and bank angle.
- To Do
- Move fbw.nas and a320-fbw.xml to common Systems directory. - DONE
- Update FDM from Airbus-fbw branch
- Further tune PIDs (Polly/Jon?)
- Implement mechanical backup law (requires better systems)
- Study and Implement Flare Mode for NORMAL LAW
FMGC, FCU and mCDU
- Asigned Developer(s)
- Narendran
- Branch name
- flight
- Notes
- Using data from smart cockpit and equicom. [4]
- Making a whole new Autopilot/Route Manager system. < Most of this is complete, but the PIDs need to be played with. (Polly)
- FCU is basically just the old 'Mode Control Panel' but that too requires some extra scripting.
- Resources
- Equicom mCDU Emulator [5]
- SmartCockpit FMGS Doc [6]
- SmartCockpit Systems Briefing [7]
- SmartCockpit Autoflight Systems [8]
- Completed Sections
- FMGC (AP1, AP2, NAV, A-THR)
- FCU (aka. MCP)
- FMGC (WP Transition Manager)

ECAM procedures and Alarms systems
- Asigned Developers
- Jon
- Branch name
- develop
- Notes
- Functionalize ALL ECAM Pages :P
New Cocpit Model & xml
- Asigned Developers
- Narendran
- Jon A. Ortuondo (bicyus) - xml
- Project > Repository > Branch
- FlightGear Airbus Development > airbus-a320neo-devel ([9]) > flightdeck
- Files
- All Flightdeck models are in root
- Notes
- Basic shell, panel, glaresheild, sidesticks, seats and pedestal models complete. These have also been textured.
- Overhead panel will be derived from the old one but model will be improved
- Cockpit has been ported into FlightGear
- To Do
- Animations and re-positioning of instruments - STARTED
- Re-make PFD and EICAS? (current versions are not too realistic)
- Asigned Developers
- Scott
- Branch name
- develop
- Notes
- The nav display is common to the A320, A330 and A340 series, so ideally would be shared between all three. Using the C++ NavDisplay instrument available in FG 2.6, Scott has created a full-functioning display for the A380, which can be adapted for the A320 with minimal effort, I hope. (It's probably not possible to share the actual XML between the A320/340 and the A380, alas). Contact James or Scott before spending time on this task, please.
- I checked up and found that the nav display is common for all airbus aircraft from A320 to A380, which means we already have a fully functional nav display from the A380. All we'd need to do now is port it (which'd probably include re-sizing) into hte A320neo.
- Status
- Base files applied
- resolving minor adjustments on each of the "mode" displays
- committed ARC/ROSE NAV, VOR, LS modes, supports WPT, ARPT, NDB, VORD EFIS switches
Low Priority / Unstarted
Rembrandt Lighting
A319neo and A321neo interior
- Please edit if anyone wants to take up any unstarted sections.
