FSFO Features Request (Moved to Discord)

[Mike B]

Thanks Matthew.
Will give it a try and let you know!

Love the program, but I do have a couple of positive suggestions for you to consider ...

1. Button on title bar to shrink/rollup window and drop to bottom of screen, but remain on screen (rather than minimize)
2. Buttons to pause and mute (as optional alternative to key bindings)
3. Include a "Begin Next Flow" key assignment (no need for mouse interaction if desired by the user if not using voice)
4. User definable key bindings (to avoid conflicts)

Cheers

Hey smoothcat!

1. I'll see what I can do
2. A button to mute was introduced in 1.0.10; I'll consider the pause button
3. That was added in 1.0.10 (button #3)
4. I'll consider; but it's a long way off as it requires me to write a key capture method.

Thanks Matt,

I was referring to a button on the window, not joystick, but I guess a joystick button is more immersive.

5. A female FO perhaps ??

cheers (I'm enjoying this app a bit too much ;-)

Hi Matt!

Something to think about...

As I'm sure you are aware, FBW is working on adding VNAV to the A32NX. One of the things that VNAV brings with it is the ability to add winds aloft at various phases of the flight (so that it can more accurately determine appropriate vertical profiles). I don't know how it all works yet, but I did notice that Simbrief includes a "Wind Information" section in its OFP report.

Looks like this:

                         WIND INFORMATION                          
                         ----------------                          

CLIMB            T O C            T O D            DESCENT
350 273/041 -53  330 275/030 -50  330 274/028 -52  350 272/036 -55
310 277/026 -46  310 277/026 -46  310 274/025 -47  310 273/026 -47
200 192/004 -22  290 280/021 -42  290 276/020 -43  200 211/000 -23
150 133/006 -11  270 285/015 -37  270 287/013 -38  150 110/005 -11
100 128/002 -01  250 282/011 -33  250 288/010 -34  100 108/009 -01
Would be very cool if the FO could add that info to the MCDU.

Like I said, just something to think about for when VNAV makes its way to the DEV version.

All the best,
...jim

I'm hoping the FBW team adds an option like PMDG and allows you to upload a wx file. Regardless, your FSFO will be able to do this in the future....

I have the CRJ Version of your amazing program and I realized that the first officer sets the landing elevation for the departing airport, but when I choose descending check he is not setting the landing elevation for the destination, is that a bug ? Would be great if you could implement automatic setting the landing elevation for the destination.
Also it would be Great If the first officer could set the minimums in the Crj, these are quite a pain to be entered manual

Hope you can implement these and keep up the great work

Bam, it's a bug with the CRJ; if you set the landing elevation to the departure airport, you'll get cabin pressure warnings. I know Hans/Aerosoft were aware of this error; however, I don't know if they've fixed it. Can you confirm? The min request should be easy to implement.

Hello, if the window could be seen in VR, it would be perfect...especially for those of us who only fly exclusively in VR.

Hello,
I'm experiencing some FSUIPC disconnects during flights recently so then my acars doesn't work anymore ...
It happens that I don't even notice the disconnects.
Since FSFO also depends on FSUIPC, isn't there a possibility to do the following:
top right of the program there is a wifi reception icon.
Would it be possible to change the color of the icon (which is white now) to green when FSUIPC is connected and to red when it is not ?
That way we could immediately see the connection state.
Best regards.
Eddy.

[Matthew King]

Hey Eddy!

Funny, the WiFi signal was placed there for exactly that purpose. I'll include it in a future update; I'll also add a voice warning (capt, we lost ACARS connection). Also, when you lose connection, the link button (lower left corner) should change to Red; it changes to Orange when FSUIPC is connected but WASM is not not detected.

I will eventually add it to the window, as long as MSFS allows managed code run inside it's environment. I have no desire to rewrite in a different language at this time...

[krieke58]

Hi,

thanks for the reply.

In my case I have seen that, when I loose FSUIPC connection the "linked" text at the bottom stays green. I do have to unlink (then it goes orange) and relink again to get the program to work again after a FSUIPC reconnect ...

Regards.

[Matthew King]

That's interesting. Did you ask the guys over at FSUIPC to see if they can help?

[krieke58]

Problem solved by added line in fsuipc.ini !

Thanks.
