A320 Airbus USA
Edition- additional info

18.08.1998
I know A320 Airbus USA Edition is an oldie (wasn't it 1993 or so when it saw the light?), but I only got it some time ago after flying all those years with the A320 Airbus Europe Edition, where I sorted out what was there and what wasn't (because the documentation wasn't 100 % complete). Well, the documentation of the A320 Airbus USA Edition is even worse - they miss a lot of information. Therefore I created a file containing the missing information.
(Note: This
file [was] updated continuously. You won't find any more airports
than I have listed here, but sorting out all the extras is time
consuming!)
At 10/09/98 the whole west coast scenery was checked, but there
may come additions to the east coast scenery.

Note: The last mentioned NDB is not active in the program because of a programmer's mistake. Load the west coast "NAVSITES.FIL" into a binary editor and look for the last lines, find the string "...AP N..." between the binary characters. Replace this by "...AP NN...", note this must be AP followed by four spaces, then NN. Because the original file has five spaces behind AP and one N missing, the facility isn't recognized as an NDB by the program!
Note that several designators are NOT what they are shown in the manual, for example Arcata-Eureka is shown as KACV, but this one isn't recognized by the program, as the designator in the program file is ACV. Another one is Monterey/ Carmel Peninsula, this one is listed as MRY but must be fed in as KMRY. Furthermore there are several airports where you can feed in an additional designator (KLAX/XLAX, LGB/XLGB) to depart from another runway. Normally you'll always leave from the same runway, at KLAS that's RWY 25R. By feeding the flightplan designator XLAS, you'll be leaving from RWY 01L (note this is a very short one!). These designators won't always put you exactly on the threshold to a runway, sometimes you're on the platform near a taxiway to this runway. I haven't found out yet whether the "duty" option also generates Xxxx designators or not.
Input to VOR/ ADF receivers can be done by clicking the receiver and using the keyboard (not the keypad) for the frequency. Input form is "1-2-3-4-5-RETURN" for 123.45 in MHz or kHz.
LDA landing systems operate similar to ILS systems, i.e. the AP can be locked onto them. LDA stands for "Localizer Type Directional Aid". LOC systems cannot be used for AP landings.
When flying within range of an ILS transmitter, the receiver will turn to indicate 000.00 upon flying out of range, therefore the receiver must be retuned to the channel before it can be used again.
The west and east coast sceneries operate as "stand-alone" systems, thus no overflights are possible. You simply fly "out of scenery"...
The [L] on Atari systems selects different sound options:
Default = digital stereo
First time [L] = digital mono
Second time [L] = chip sound (like in A320 Europe, sounds terrible!)
When your EFCS is switched off, you can use the cursor up/ down keys for elevator trim. Note this won't work with the EFCS switched on, you can only use the mouse or a joystick for that purpose then!
In training mode, when refueling using the fuel update button, you can load up to the MTOW, so with an empty plane you can load as much as 33700 kgs (enough to fly for about 20 hrs at FL390 or travel around 7200 nm).
On several occasions the program crashed (hung up) on finals to the destination AP. Beware! Solution is creating back-up logs after each flight. At the moment it looks like it has to do with the new stereo sound setting. It doesn't happen when sound is set to the old fashioned chip sound. Do this when you're on finals. The crashes always happened when one of the MM or OM beacons were passed.
When an engine is revving up at the start, don't hit the "stop engine" key before it's idling. You'll loose the engine for the rest of the flight.
Compared to the Europe version, there is a difference in operating the reverse thrust: Upon disengaging the reverse thrust, the reversing cowls will retract first, before the power is decreased. As a result the speed starts to increase again! You can avoid this by hitting the brakes, or decrease thrust with the [2] button, then retracting the cowls by hitting the "decimal-key", whereafter you can taxi to a platform, before coming to a full-stop on the runway.
Improved flight-physics give a max. speed of 500 kts TAS on all levels, making it possible to cruise at M .80 or over with a full payload, whereas it's now possible to climb from FL300 to FL390 at 1500 fpm or more. Great job, Mr. Bopf! On low levels the EFCS will go crazy when you keep on thrusting 100 %, as soon as the pitch goes negative it'll start complaining. Hit [Delete], next hit [5] on the numeric keypad and keep on flying. The Airbus won't fall apart, but 500 kts at low-level is a bit high...
Well, so much for all those versions, but who wants to fly the old Airbus-with-bad-performance when you've got this A-321 upgrade type? Then again, flying in Europe wasn't that bad, wasn't it? Got a filled-up harddisk, too? Heck, I've yet another solution that eliminates all the bad stuff and leaves all the goodies... Here's the trick:
Create a new folder "AIRBUS.ALL" on your disk. Copy all the folders and files from AIRBUS.USA into this one. Also create a folder "EUROPE.SCE" in it, and fill that one with "AIRFIELD.FIL", "NAVSITES.FIL", "RIVERS.FIL", "SEAS.FIL" and "TOWNS.FIL" from your old Airbus Europe "IMG" folder. Also copy "EXCLUDES.FIL" and "SCENERY.LST" from the USA "USWESTCS.SCE" folder into "EUROPE.SCE". Finally, edit "SCENERY.LST" (in "EUROPE.SCE") in a binary editor and change the words US WESTCOAST SCENERY into EUROPE SCENERY. Leave the other characters at the end! Next, start up your Airbus program and you'll have the choice to fly in the US Northeast Coast, US West Coast or Europe. The Europe version now has the same machine you're flying in the USA, don't forget to copy old logs and simply wipe out the old files on your disk, they're no longer needed. Who said life was a sucker?
OK, let's face the truth: Your scenery in Europe is no longer what it should be. All the airports are there, so are the VORs and NDBs and ILS systems, but you'll discover that Rotterdam Airport lies in the middle of a sea (or is it an ocean? I think the Rhine has flooded Rotterdam completely, but the airport is nicely floating around)... Maybe Ronne is no longer on Bornholm but somewhere in a desert, who knows? You probably have lost the Rhine, Thames and Loire as well and maybe you got the Volga or Yellow River back for it... Have a look for Paris and please report to me when and where you found it (listen wiseguy, I didn't mean the airports, right?).
