for Airbus A319 professional Aerosoft for P3Dv4.3
Hello,
is there a tools interface for this new product?
my MCP Goflight for freeware Airbus works very well but for this plane in payware it does not work.
Thanks for your help

I havent written any GIT code for the Aerosoft Airbus, but I have written it for another company's 'pre-release' Airbus product.
Im using the MCP Pro, and the logic and code to try to get the MCPPro to behave like the Airbus FCU was not easy.
Given that the MCP has less buttons on it compared to the MCPPro Im not sure how we can map the functions against the buttons on the MCP.
As Im now able to use the Aerosoft Airbus on my P3D 64 bit setup ( I wasnt able to get the old 32 bit version working), Im starting to write GIT code to support the Aerosoft version.
Whilst I dont intend to write specifically for the MCP, I can probably help you in setting up the code to make it work on the MCP.
I would need some assistance from you, however.
What I would need to know, is, which button, and which LED you plan to map to each function of the Airbus FCU.
With that information we can start on the easy functions and work our way up from there.

Thanks for your help . I want to try to work with you to define the codes. First of all you have to know that I do not speak English and therefore I am using a translator so I will have to go quietly and finally I am not very talented in computer science .... but I want to try to help you. I'm on vacation but if you want to contact us in September? Happy holidays can be yours too
Best regards

I came back from vacation and I want to help you on our subject, I send you a photo of the MCP of the aibus A 319 pro of aerosoft, I would like to find the functions on my pro goflight MCP that I put you in red. Can this help you?
thank you
I'm back now as well.
As you may or may not know, the knobs on the Airbus MCP have three operations - rotate, push and pull.
The display will generally show some digits, or a dot, depending on what mode its in (triggered by you pushing or pulling the knobs).
Therefore for you to simulate these operations, for each rotational knob on your GF Advanced MCP,you will need to find/use 2 GF buttons, and a GF light.
That will make it difficult to fit all the functionality on the GF-MCP.
The MCPPro has many more buttons and lights, and makes it easier to 'retrofit' to Airbus style operations.
Lets take one of the functions - Heading
The two modes you can use with the HDG rotary/display - HDG mode and TRACK mode.
The value to display for HDG display is stored in Lvar AB_AP_HDG_Select
The rotate function should add or subtract 1 degree from the value stored in LVar AB_AP_HDG_Select, making sure you handle the rollover so if the value ends up > 359 deg, you set it to 0, and if less than 0, you set to 359.
The value for TRK is stored in LVar AB_AP_TRK_set
You can work out which mode you are currently in by checking LVar AB_hdgtrk, with it set to 0 if its in HDG mode. If you change the value of AB_hdgtrk to 1, you have switched it to TRK mode.
This info gives you enough detail to be able to code buttons to go switch from HEADING to TRK mode, and how to illuminate a light if its currently in HEADING mode.
I hope this helps as a starting point.
I can provide more LVar details, but the logic and coding for the rest of the features will be more complex than the HDG function Ive described above.
You probably need to work out where/how you are going to assign all the functions and lights on your existing hardware to facilitate mapping to the Airbus MCP
Let me know how you progress, and I can then provide the next , more complex function to work on

I thank you for this beginning of programming for Airbus but I am not able to help you, I am not qualified enough with these soft. I renounce, then. thanks again
