I updated FSFO to version 1.2.8.0. FLOWS AND CHECKLIST PRE FLT FLOW cycles through the checklist but stops at SET COPILOT MCDU. PRE FLT CHKLST and following CHKLST's continues to show PRE FLT' FLOW's FlOW/CHECKLIST with last action still showing SET COPILOT MCDU.
Autobrake still not being set by FSFO

What airbus version? If it's the FENIX I can't duplicate the SET COPILOT MCDU issue. Is anyone else having this issue? Also, are you using integrated crew ops?

Thanks for reply Matthew, Using FenixSimA320 1.0.6.146. Not familar with integrated crew ops. If I reload FSFO 1.2.7.0 checklists work fine with current Fenix A320. Whilst the FLOWS/CHECKLIST 'list' with the latest FSFO does not cycle beyond SET COPILOT MCDU the subsequent selected FLOWS AND CHECKLIST operations are actioned on the Fenix A320 (whilst the FLOWS/CHECKLISTS remain on SET COPILOT MCDU) and what is happening appears on the lower section of the FLOW/CHECKLISTS.

Not familar with integrated crew ops. New setting with v1.2.8.0. Will let you do more of the stuff instead of the FO doing everything. If you want FO to do everything, turn it off. See configuration screen. ...jim Attachments:

Thanks Jim, I did have the REALISTIC CREW OPS 'OFF'and in USER OPTIONS SET MCP DURING PREFLT/PRGM FMC DURING PREFLT TO 'ON' to test all FO functions. As I become more familiar with FSFO I will reduce the reliance on the assistance of the FO. Unfortunately, as the PRE FLT FLOW is stuck on SET COPILOT MCDU, I do not have the checklist shown if I activate voice to respond to the actions listed in other checklists. If I'm the only one with this problem I'll plough on and investigate further particularly with REALISTIC CREW OPS ON/OFF selection.

This is really odd as I didn't touch the FENIX MCDU method. Also, I'm sure I'd here a lot of complaints about it as FSFO Fenix is well represented. There's got to be something unique going on. Now, I did change the logic with how Flows are cycled on the screen; so, it's possible FSFO is on his walkaround when you think he's not doing anything? Can you please verify that FSFO doesn't press any buttons on the MCDU? I honestly think this is just a misunderstanding with how the carrot is moved on the screen and not FSFO failing to program the MCDU. One other thing, make sure you have the adv option, captEnterPrefData option set to 0 (if it's set to 1, you'll have to set to 0 and restart FSFO). If it's set to 1, FSFO expect you to enter the INITB and PREF data.

Hi Matthew checked as suggested but no change. Found workaround, after FLOWS/CHECKLIST stuck on SET COPILOT MCDU, closed and then reopened FLOWS/CHECKLISTS and was then able to cycle through all the check lists as detailed. Must be a 'bug' in my setup (although do not have the problem with the previous FSFO!)and as you highlighted, no other FENIX user has brought this problem up. The rest of FSFO works fine with the exception of landing autobrake not being set to 1 but ok if 2 requested by the FO.

Ok...I see what you're talking about now. Help me narrow this down. How are you initiated the pre flight checklist. Are you clicking the button or calling it via voice?

Once other thing...are you moving the EFIS ND RANGE To 20 nm? That tells FSFO you're done with your part of the flow

ND set to 20nm. Tried both voice and button control. Voice appears to work ok but button control sticks on PRE FLT FLOW:FLOWS/CHECKLISTS:SET COPILOT MCDU. To proceed further, using button control, I have to select PRE FLT CHKLST and reset the list select button to call up the correct FLOWS/CHECKLISTS. Not a problem for me as I prefer to use voice control.

Tried FSFO today with voice activation and ND 20nm. Able to continue with FLOWS and CHECKLST cycle and corresponding actions taking place with FEN A320 but FLOWS/CHECKLISTS remain stuck on SET COPILOT MCDU.

Can you check your task manager and see what is running under FSFO?

Task Manager - FSFO_NEXT(2).
Under LOAD AIRCRAFT/FORM there are 2 FEN A320, clicking on the top one says you do not have a licence for this aircraft. The lower FENIX A320 connects OK.

I think that's your issue; somehow, you have two instances of FSFO running. Try terminating one of the them.
