I only highlight this, not as a comment, but more as a note that the GPU unit isn ‘t simulated. – Descent and Preparations Not that you can forget all the other manuals, but the tutorial is written in a way that you can find your way thru the aircraft very easily. © 2016 - 2019 X-Plained All rights reserved. I can’t really understand what’s going on. – General Preparations This select the right engine type for that airline and I may assume, also the thrust settings. When you zoom in closely on e.g. What else is highlighted in this manual? toliss_simbrief. – External Inspection. New features includes such things as added sounds, added background lighting on displays, improved autopilot, SmartCopilot improvements, FMGS initialization now possible, and many more. Pushback Preparations I compared the ToLIss A319 with other similar aircraft models like the FlightFactor/StepToSky 757, 767, A320 Ultimate, the JARDesign A320Neo, SSG Embraer E-195 Evolution. Is it really something that should be a part of the modeled aicraft? It’s fun to see how this all works. I didn’t test the complete tutorial flight, but picked out parts of it needed for my LFBO-LFBO flight. Referring to your idea of for example making a comparison of the ToLiss A319 versus the FF Ultimate A320 and perhaps adding the JARDesign A320 Neo and the Peters Aircraft A320 Series, I can be short although not everybody agrees with me. When I read this I’m always wondering based on what they say that, or are they real aircraft pilots, are they real AutoFlight programmers and so on and so on. AVAILABLE NOW – all new on P3D v4.5HF3, as well as P3D v5.0HF2 / v5.1! Liveries You need to register but it’s for free and a wealth of flight planning information becomes available. A big plus that the aircraft is also made compatible for X-Plane 10! For NWS (Nose Wheel Steering) you can decide to assign a rotary knob on your joystick or throttle unit. Was it worth this test flight? (Source EASA, see link). Downloadable FMS Files SimBrief now supports over 40 different FMS and route file formats for a variety of simulators, programs, and third-party aircraft. X-Plained.Com is pleased to announce, in consult with and the approval of matthew007800 from MattDesigns and Christoph_T, that we’ve decided to promote several ToLiSS A319 liveries of these painters. A good example that it is possible to have razor sharp external text on the fuselage, wings and engines is from JARDesign. Does the 3D cockpit have any animations besides the popups of the PFD, ND, ECAM DU’s and MCDUs? As I can remember from Airbus pilots during my good old days in the aviation, FBW Airbus aircraft fly easy or if you wish … easy to handle. And other good news … by leaving the Pyrenees behind me, the clouds are gone and I’ve got clear ground view. – Final Approach and Landing. If I moved the view down to block out any outside view frames went up to 25/30. Feel free to comment. I say on purpose “unnecessary animations” since to me the importance goes to the 3D cockpit and then in particular the flight dynamics. In my case that’s FL200 or you set the approach altitude already. As I started this “quick ToLiss A319 impression”, at this moment it is not my goal to figure out the contents of every tutorial page, but I can tell you of what I’ve seen, it’s a well-written, highly informative and comprehensive tutorial. It effects the external textures as well as cockpit walls, windows etc. I mentioned something about “weathered” look and feel. I’m glad to help. The aircraft is equipped/fitted/modeled with the well-known QPAC FBW system although FBW is only a part of the overall Auto Flight or FMGS. These are very well modeled, tiny parts are included as well thus the overall if made with great detail. From that moment it wasn’t possible to follow a pitch, roll or yaw “channel”, besides many other features. Oh oh, that brings me back to the good old Martinair Airbus days. You don’t believe me? What said before, the lead developer behind ToLiss is well-know with FBW (Flight By Wire), a part of the Auto Flight Airbus plugin and related systems. That brings me the next item; this ToLiss A319 isn’t only compatible with X-Plane 11. I plan to make a movie for the arrival as described in my review, but for now I only made a movie for the climb out LFBO (https://youtu.be/iao7GFBQRb8). Oh yes, in case you didn’t got me. The version number is V1.5.2 and build number 1299. So, the CFM sound is great, no doubt about that and after lift-off, there’s the sound of gear retraction. As of this writing – March 2018 – the ToLiss A319 cost you 69.00 USD. Time to check out. By Antekpilot 13 0. $19.98 Airbus A320-232 IAE Engine . Let’s have a closer look into this Airbus model. The IAE engine uses as primary thrust indicator EPR (Engine Pressure Ratio) while the CFM engine uses the N1 as primary indication. This is very difficult to maneuver and as per Airbus, it’s very unlike to happen! Perhaps it will cost you a few times to get the right feeling how to do it, but believe me, pilots have had many hours of training before they understood the steps to follow. I found something which is not a big deal since you and I don’t have at home, but the outer armrests of the pilot seats have no height adjustment wheel and there’s also no position indicator. That’s the same with this aircraft too. Once in the air, cloud layers active, it goes up far above the minimum of 25 FPS. As you might know, for creating a flight plan you could use many programs like Routefinder which offers you quickly a flight plan, but this is not in “X-Plane fms” format. have I seen better, read more realistic, modeled 3D cockpits? My experience is that the perfect or ultimate model doesn’t exist. After NARAK the STAR has started and everything goes according to what I see on the MCDU as well as what the A319 is doing. And …. Verified with the ASM (Aircraft Schematic Manual) and I think it should be rheostats. Movies that deal with ground preparations, engine starts, aircraft takeoff, climb, cruise, influence of bad weather and so on. No unnecessary animations are implemented like animated baggage bins. Again, that’s a matter of taste. Informed ToLIss via Skype and send the necessary data as confirmation. Post was not sent - check your email addresses! In the aircraft Objects folder there’s a specific texture file that has all the text and marking of the panels and thus they are projected on each panel. The first thing I need to do is to create a “ground situation” and set the “aircraft configuration” of my choice which will be “COLD and DARK” by overriding the XP settings. It stores the situation files as qps. They use a separate external text sheet. This is just one example of the simulated split system. – Worth to Know … trimming … yes or no? From LFBO it flies first in a northwest direction, then heading for the Pyrenees. They differ a lot, but you and I know that. I hope others reply and can help you with your questions. One of the reasons I prefer SkyVector is not because it’s easier, but with SkyVector I have the control over the amount or sort of waypoints, VOR or NDB beacons. While this sounds like a small update it actually includes quite a new of new features, along with some bug fixes. This brings me to another item and that’s the Flight Plan format which is the default fms file format. Besides many other things, this is a great tool in case you need to create flight plans for the FlightFactor/StepToSky A320 Ultimate since that aircraft uses corte.in flight plan format. Oh oh, I planned, no, I promised myself to write a quick impression of this brand-new Airbus A319 from ToLiss, but it turned out to be a comprehensive review. Preparations – General Preparations – Cockpit Preparations – Pushback Preprations Flight Impressions – Taxi, Takeoff and Initial Climb – Worth to Know … trimming … yes or no? Dear all, Thank you for the great Review and comments! What I said in the previous paragraph, the easiest and best solution is to set the “Engine Type” to AUTO. Thank you Philippe. You can reach me via email Angelique.van.Campen@gmail.com or to Angelique@X-Plained.com. It all feels as “so simple” and “as expected”, and it does work OK. With the range selector in 80NM -I’m flying towards KANIG – I see already waypoint BOLSA which means not far from NARAK thus where our STAR starts. This is also applicable for the AFT cockpit wall C/B panels. Note that the combined 2d/3d panel version does not have an updater feature; you will have to redownload the entire package every time the aircraft is updated.”, And finally, the tutorial manual. FiatAvio withdrew as a shareholder of the program early on, but the now-renamed Avio still remains as a supplier. As you can see for yourself, I included one VOR beacon. Please forward to 1:40 for the actual video. On all Airbus the information goes to the computer and then to the surfaces. When updating the navigation data, please only update the data in the folder Custom Data. During climb, with the AP connected or still flying by hand, I play a bit around with – when my speed is not too high – GEAR extension. Là, j'arrive à me débrouiller pour rectifier l'erreur. Normally I won’t write down anything on how the engine starts or just a brief engine start experience, but this time, I need to! INIT page A is always there, but INIT B is only available as long as the engines aren’t started. It doesn’t allow you to give excessive inputs, which is correct since the simulated system/computers don’t allow you to do. It’s a complex aircraft and when you’ve read the other manuals, you’ve understand by now how important it is to read or to use the tutorial for this LFBO test flight? Ok, instructions ……! What’s also the case, that’s how I think of it, when we see the FPS counter, we all think quickly “oh oh, that’s too low”, but when the counter isn’t available, we just look to the overall screen and when that feel good (smooth movements), there’s no need to know the actual FPS. Then it’s time to takeoff and wow, that engine sound is a great to hear! For a new flight, you can now start with SimBrief in the browser. It’s much appreciated, but above all, I wrote and tested it with a lot of fun. Neither less, the team has taken the time to model a nice and good looking Virtual Cabin. Perhaps less realistic, for this LFBO – LFBO test flight to the Pyrenees, it’s handy to create my own plan which is impossible with Online Flight Planner. A closer look into the ToLiss aircraft folder tells me that in the sounds folder has a ToLiss_Custom folder of roughly 15MB. That said, I decide to follow the flight plan by hand. – Manual We’re familiar with many add-on aircraft – and whenever applicable of course – that offer a single Auto Flight- or FMS system. Learn how your comment data is processed. And it’s not just the engine start behavior, it’s everything that starts already with placing the ENG START selector to ING/START and how other system react on that, as well as when the engine is stabilized. I compared and tried to listen in the simulator, switching between both engine models, but honestly, I didn’t hear a difference. I wrote the ToLiss A319 review and soon, when I’ve got my new iMac Pro, we’ve planned to write a comprehensive review of the Flight Factor Ultimate A320 which has no QPAC FBW Auto Flight plugin but an own developed plugin that should simulate the Auto Flight of the A320. I know that everybody wants to see this in a review or whatever somebody writes. And at the end, even for me as experienced reviewer it’s very difficult to judge what is good, what is bad, what is realistic or what isn’t. Coming into EGKK it was low heavy cloud, but strangely frames were all over the place, up to 23, then down to 11. – High or Standard Definition Why fun? Overall an external aircraft that is full with tiny details, accurate so I’m very pleased with it. but you won’t have externally a GPU connected to your aircraft. Not strange since the whole background and programming knowledge is based on the previous older QPAC A320 models as well as the programmer who’s behind of it. Next the ToLiss Simulation manual. It uses, if applicable, the stabilizer TRIM tank to change or improve the C.G. Does it matter for the FMS … no, not at all! Philippe LFLL. While typing this, I’m desending to 6000 feet, all managed mode, heading for LASBO. The ToLiss Airbus A319 model comes with CFM and IAE engine configurations. While the ATA 100 numbering system has been superseded, it continued to be widely used until it went out of date back in 2015, especially in documentation for general aviation aircraft, on aircraft Fault Messages (for Post Flight Troubleshooting and Repair) and the electronic and printed manuals. Listening to the movie it’s clear to me that the IAE engine has overall a higher tone and yes, in case you bring this up, the movie deals with the Airbus A320 engines, but these sound differences are minimal versus the A319. The text on the panels, it doesn’t matter where you look, is razor sharp, so that’s not a problem at all. engine heat blur or APU fire. Before closing this section, I would like to higfhlight the following; the simulated ToLiss A319 doesn’t offer external stairs that position themselves near an opened door nor that a baggage belt is simulated, but is it really a problem? And yes, for this test flight I used real time tracking and real weather conditions. Excellent impression of the Tollis A319, thank you. Introduction Some ToLIss A319 Facts – Configurations – High or Standard Definition – Liveries – Manual – AIRAC Cycles First Impressions – 3D Cockpit – Virtual Cabin – External Inspection LFBO Test Flight Preparation – Flight Plan? Enter in the scratchpad a name for your entered flight plan e.g. What you can’t do is making a floating window of it. Some topics deal with an X-Plane crash when loading the ToLiss A319. Is ToLiss a brand-new developer or perhaps not? Not only nice, it’s realistic, but there’s always the question…. I’m not getting good frames, especially in cloud or frame heavy airports, at EHAM they can go down to 19 fps. It does not merge “Default XYZ” data with “Custom XYZ” data. don’t show much weathering, the light grey selector knob on for example the overhead panel do offer a lot of “used spots”. I had a comparison on my blog once and it was in favor of the FlightFactor version. All together not easy to calculate. The current aircraft configuration I’ve choosen is with CFM engines and I know they aren’t the same as what I know from the past – Airbus A310-200 with CF6-80A3 – but the sound is awesome. – Freeware | FlyWithLua package Setting up a descent, and all the calculations that belong to this. After I’ve updated the default X-Plane AIRAC and placed the lfbolfbo.fms flight plan file into the X-Plane Output/FMS plans folder, it’s time to start with the cockpit preparations. Full FMGS functionality. And above all, different indications. This section deals with how to enter my proposed flight plan. It’s also designed to work with X-Plane 10 and I think that’s a good marketing strategy. The FMA (Flight Mode Annunciator) on the PFD tells you when to move your throttle back to CLIMB thrust and the FD (Flight Directors) tell you what pitch or roll input has to be given. This will override the previous situation. Listening to it, seeing how the engine starts, how it accelerates, very realistic and without doubt a big plus! Highlights: 2 additional engine types for the ToLiss A321; The 3 subvariants of the A321 NEO family: the NEO, the LR and the XLR; 3 new exit configurations aligned with the Airbus Cabin Flex concept for the A321 family. The review is based on model version 1.0 build 864. It requires a legitimate copy of the ToLiss Airbus A321 V1.2 to work. Remember; on the sidestick you only have the PTT p/b (Push To Talk switch for the radio) and the red AP disconnect p/b. I can tell you, it’s important! Additionally, starting at page 25, the manual offers standard operating procedures including FMGS initialization. Following on from the recent previews from LatinVFR, the scenery development team has released Madrid-Barajas Airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator.Madrid-Barajas Airport (LEMD) is the busiest in Spain serving over 60 million passengers each year. I do the writing with pleasure, but did I cover everything? By the way, the official identification of an A319 fitted with CFM engines is A319-111 (-112, -113, -114 or -115) (CFM International, a joint venture between GE Aviation, a division of General Electric and Safran Aircraft Engines (formerly known as Snecma) while the A319 with IAE V2500 Serie engines will be A319-131 (-132 or -133) (AE International Aero Engines, is a Zürich-registered joint venture manufacturing company founded in 1983. This enhancement was able to be made using this video here I have tried my best to edit out times and destinations etc. Much appreciated and I’m happy that you liked the review. Worth the reading I would say. Then from the dropdown you select either engine type. – Flight Plan? Hold on , no dedciated sound file for the IAE V2500? The aircraft simulated systems react more or less directly on your input. Delete the situation file of your wish and make a new one although you can also change the siutation on the aircraft , and save it under the same name. Those windy conditions effect the aircraft behavior while flying more or less parallel LFBO and descending from FL100 to 6000 feet.
