Hi,

Please see:

http://haversine.com/forums/8/thread/482

Or the README-A320-FF.txt file in the HaversineAir folder, for details about the FF A320.

You'll need to publish some datarefs in a text file.

fun flights,

Thanks for that Skyfox..
I already done it.
I put the dataref of FF A320 in a file called ‘publish.txt’ in the data folder of aircraft from FF A320, it makes no difference.
Any other suggestions?

Ok I try it with FF A350 and woks well.
I think that the reason is not working with FF A 320 is because I used it with FF A320 Ultimate.
Can anybody confirm that?

The A350 uses a different system so its unrelated.

Give me a moment. I went and tried the A320 and it wouldn't launch the screen anymore so I updated the A320 and now X-Plane doesn't start :(

I'm on an M1 Mac too.

please bear with, be right back with some progress...

Hi again,

OK so I got it working. Updating the A320 damaged the CEF plugin and it wouldn't work, but now it does, kind of....

Anyway, everything in latest versions:

- M1 Mac
- X-Plane 11.55r2 build 115501
- A320 version 1.3.5
- I reinstalled the A320 with the x-updater app
- I had to recreate the publish.txt in the FF320 data folder, in my case:
.../X-Plane\ 11/Aircraft/Airbus/FlightFactor\ A320\ ultimate/data

So make sure it is there.

- Launched X-Plane
- Conncted External power
- Pressed EXT power button on the plane

And the MCDU lines came to live in AirFMC.

So it definitely has to work.

===

Do you see the keyboard of AirFMC changing to the Airbus style? Do you see the keys changing?

If they do but the screen is just blank, make sure an update hasn't deleted the publish.txt from the data folder.

If it doesn't, it may be a communications / firewall problem.

If so, if you could send me your Log.txt file through support we can take it from there and try to figure it by email.

I'll send you a message shortly,

Just to close this case, and in case anyone out there encounters a similar problem on Mac, the issue was due to an incorrectly formatted publish.txt file.

If / when using macOS TextEdit to create the file, make sure you select "Make Plain Text" from the "Format" men as to not save it in rtf mode.

Alternately just copy the publish.txt file provided in the HaversineAir folder instead of creating a new one.

Fun flights all,
Joao @ haversine
