1. Introduction
The JeeHell A320 Software suite is a complete freeware set simulating, in Microsoft Flight
Simulator® or Lockheed Martin Prepar3D, the FMGS (Flight Management & Guidance
System) as well as most electronic instruments of the Airbus A320.
If you have any questions or remarks, you can contact be by email (jeehell ≪ at ≫
jeehell.org), or through mycockpit.org forums (in English) or aircockpit.com
forums (in French).
The guide you are currently reading relates to optional/supplementary setup actions that
can be made, regarding software or hardware interactions with JeeHell A320 Software.
This guide assumes all JeeHell A320 Software modules are already installed and
tested (Installation Guide) and used successfully on at least one flight (User Guide).

DISCLAIMER:
 This software is by no means related to Airbus, EADS or any affiliated group. It is
intended to use only as a recreational software together with Microsoft Flight
Simulator. Do not use as a part of training toward any kind or aeronautical
certification, be it private pilot or commercial pilot training.
 This software should cause no harm to your computer. In the very unlikely event
damage occurred to your system, I won't take any liability. Use at your own risk.
 The use and distribution of this software in any professional environment is
prohibited without a proper license. Check the License.txt file to know what
are the rights you have with this version.

2. Issues with Frame Rates

It has already been said in the first pages of the Installation Guide : JeeHell A320
Software is made to be networked.
A sample architecture was described, which is stable and made of PC dedicated to
FSX/P3D and the FMGS Server, while the other applications are distributed on other
computers (depending on user setup, money, etc…).
All configurations of course are not tested…

2.1 - FSX issues

Even on latest hardcore gaming computers, FSX may still be eating all the CPU. The way
FSX was written, with single core computers, means the bottleneck is more FSX itself than
the computer.
P3D may be an alternative, as it might be using Computer resources in a better way.
JeeHell A320 Software works seamlessly with Prepar3D, however remember JeeHell
A320 Software is no longer compatible with FS9.

2.2 - Add-ons
FSX/P3D can be enhanced with many third party add-ons (Weather, live traffic, sceneries,
ATC, etc...).
Caution : some of these add-ons are also VERY CPU hungry (particularly some
sceneries) and will make the FSX/P3D frame rates (FPS) drop.
The FPS can be displayed with the « SHIFT + Z » key combination.
Tutorials to fine tune performance, and software as well, are available on Internet. It is up
to every one to make his own tests and decide what is best for his setup.
Remember, below 25 fps, the simulator may start to misbehave (systems, autopilot
etc...).

3. Networking issues
If you need to change the networking parameters that were set during installation, either
run the « configure.exe » application again or look in the WideFMGS subfolder for the file
named wideFMGS.ini, which contains the following data:

[widefmgs]
ip=192.168.1.10
fsip=192.168.1.11
port=8003
port2=8004
port3=8005
port4=8006

IP field:
 Must contain the IP address of the computer running Server FMGS (here
192.168.1.10).
 If all software are on the same PC, you can leave« localhost », or 127.0.0.1.
FSIP field:
 Must contain the IP address of the computer running P3D/FSX (here 192.168.1.11).
Port numbers :
 I suggest you leave the default ports. However, in case of conflict you can of course
change these.
 If you make any changes, you then must do the same modifications on ALL your
computers, this includes the IP addresses and the port numbers.
Remember:
 « FMGS Server and AP/FBW » module is preferentially installed on the computer
running FSX/P3D.Since version B46, it is possible to install these modules on
another computer to help save performance, but here is not much feedback on the
performance gain and stability.
 The « FSUIPC Support » modules is also preferentially installed on the PC running
FSX / P3D. it can be run on another computer which must then have WideFS
running.

4. Additional settings

4.1 - Sounds
The « SOUND » module plays back the cockpit sounds (not the aerodynamic or egnines
sounds). It can be networked so that the sound outputs from your FSX/P3D is not a
limiting factor.
You are free to replace all the « .wav » files you find, so you have different GPWS or TCAS
sounds (maybe taken from real recordings). However, take care to keep the same file
names and the same number of files. If you wish to remove a sound, you disable it in the «
SOUND » module options.

4.2 - Starter module

The « Starter.exe » module is on each computer at the installation root (by default
« A320FMGS ») ; it is easily recognized with its little plane icon.
On the computer running the FMGS_Server, you can use either « Starter.exe » or
« StarterENGRUN.exe » (see the Installation Guide chapter 5.1).
The « Starter » launches and closes quickly all the necessary applications, and also
external applications you want to run along the software.
It is configured during installation, depending on your installation choices. You can later
modify the list of applications to run (though if you want to run applications not previously
installed, you will need to run the installer package again) by modifying the “starter.ini” file:

[Starter]
FMGS_Server=yes
OVHD=yes
FCU=yes
MCDU=yes
FO_MCDU=yes
PFD=yes
ND=yes
EWD=yes
SD=yes
Sound=yes
FO_PFD=yes
FO_EFIS=yes
FO_ND=yes

TripleBRK=yes
STBY_ASI=yes
STBY_AltiFt=yes
STBY_AltiM=yes
STBY_Horizon=yes
DDRMI=yes
Clock=yes
ISIS=yes

HardwareConnect=yes
wideFMGS=no
wideFMGSserver=yes

AUTOclose=yes
StartMinimized=yes
Autosave=no

//ExtProg.0=c:\windows\notepad.exe
Intercom=yes
softFlaps=yes
softSpoilers=yes
softTHRLVRs=yes
softGEAR=yes
SoftACP1=yes
SoftACP2=yes
SoftACP3=yes
SoftECP=yes

Each line is related to a specific module (or group of modules which need to run on the
same computer). If you select « yes », then that module will run automatically when
launching Starter.exe. If you select « no », it will not run… Of course you need to save the
changes in that file before running the starter !
AUTOclose option set to “yes” (by default) makes the starter close all opened application
when closing down the starter. Set « no » if you prefer to close the software manually by
yourself.
StartMinimized option makes the Starter.exe go directly in the task bar, minimized.
As previously said, the Starter can also run external applications. You can run up to 256 of
them. To do so, you have to add lines in the format : ExtProg.X=Path, where X is a number
for the order of launch, starting from 0.

 As an example, you can run FSX and notepad (only useful for an example…) :
 ExtProg.0=c:\games\FSX.exe
 ExtProg.1=c:\windows\notepad.exe
 You need to number the applications from 0. If you miss an iteration, the
applications after the « jump » will not open.
The modules « softFlaps », « SoftSpoilers » etc..., are new applications since B46
corresponding to software versions of panels such as ACPs, thrust levers, flaps…

5. FSUIPC ◄
The software is compatible with FSUIPC from Peter Dowson/ (to date, FSUIPC4 4.96).
 The list of offsets used by my software may change anytime, without any link to
FSUIPC version.
 You need to know how to change only single bits of an offset for some functions.
If you do not need/use FSUIPC offsets to interface with the FMGS software, you can
simply delete FSUIPCmodule.dll in the « Hardware Modules » folder on the FSX/P3D
computer.

6. OPENCOCKPITS and SIOC

Writing a SIOC code is not an easy task for many people. Also, the FSUIPC offsets of my
software are not so easy to use, but their limited number means it is difficult to make it
otherwise. SIOC can quickly become a nightmare when you need to make complex
interactions between hardware and software.
I made it so all the complex computations and programming are part of the
software:
 Both MCDU (CPT & F/O),
 FCU,
 Both EFIS (CPT & F/O),
 Overhead (Lower & Upper),
 Radio Management Panels (Pedestal),
 Transponder « XPDR » (Pedestal).
 Almost all other panels
SIOC use is now limited to telling the « FMGS Server » inputs/outputs numbers, i.e. the
wiring.
You just need to use « SIOC_Creator », an application shipped with FMGS suite. This
chapter details the use of this applications.
« SIOC_Creator » is in « Hardware Modules » folder. There are other files related to SIOC
in that folder, if you lose one, it might be in here. Of course, you need to have installed
“SIOC Support” module during installation.
BACKUP all your SIOC files, particularly SIOC.ini and the « .ssi » files you were using
before using SIOC Creator!
If you installed SIOC in its default folder (“Program Files”) SIOC Creator will need
administrator rights to copy « .ssi » files in that folder. If you do not know how to use admin
rights, easiest is to reinstall SIOC in another folder (C:\games\SIOC, or C:\SIOC, …).

6.1 - General tab

When you launch SIOC_Creator, the “General” tab is displayed :
 Version 54.x
JeeHell Advanced User guide 05 / 03 / 2021
A320 FMGS
Beta 54.x Back to index table :  Click Here Page 34 / 55

 IOCP Server IP / IOCP Server Port: enter the IP address and port of the SIOC
server, which you can find in your SIOC.ini file.
 Please note the SIOC.ini still needs to be configured by the user!
 Locate SIOC folder: Click on that button to locate SIOC folder, by browsing until
you find and select SIOC.exe.
 « File » menu: lets you create a new configuration from scratch, save current work,
or open an existing configuration.
 « Apply configuration » menu: You MUST click on this button once you have
finished working on your configuration, otherwise the configuration you made
will not be taken into account …
 Add own SIOC code: lets you merge your own SIOC source code, in « .txt »
format, to the code created by SIOC_Creator. It helps you add functions not
covered by SIOC Creator.
 To add your own code, click on « Add own SIOC code » then select your .txt
file. You can add several files this way.
 The only limitation is the numbering of the variables, as SIOC_Creator will
not check if several variables have the same number as already assigned
by SIOC Creator ; It is thus recommended to start numbering you own
variables starting from at least 500 (variable 0 can however be used, it is an
initialization variable not used by SIOC Creator).

6.2 - MCDU tab

This tab is used to configure MCDUs. The MCDUs muust be associated to USB keys
cards from Openccockpits. All MCDU versions including current « V3 » should be easily
recognized if you correctly installed all Opecockpits drivers/software :
( www.opencockpits.com).
 First check the “Use MCDU” box. Then, if you MCDU is plugged on the same PC
running SIOC Creator, select the first option, otherwise select the second option.
 If you use an Opencockpits MCDU V3, check the V3 box…
 A caution message appears, make sure you comply with its requirements...
 After clicking OK, SIOC will be configured for the MCDU setup.
 Another caution message appears asking you to run SIOC.
 At this stage, if your card is on a remote computer, you will need to manually copy
the IOCKeys.ini created by SIOC CREATOR and overwrite the one in your IOCKeys
folder on the remote computer. Then run IOCKeys.exe, click OK and continue.
 A new window appears, asking you to push buttons on your MCDU :

JeeHell Advanced User guide 05 / 03 / 2021
A320 FMGS
Beta 54.x Back to index table :  Click Here Page 36 / 55

 Comply by pushing the correct key on your MCDU, until the window disappears.
 You can now save your configuration (and apply it).
Same logic goes for the FO MCDU.

6.3 - FCU, EFIS, OVHD, RMP, XPDR, RUD TRIM & Misc tabs
All these tabs work the same way. They show a graphical representation of the panels,
that will allow you to “describe” your wiring.
After checking the « Use FCU » (or « Use EFIS », etc… ) box, the picture of the panel will
show up with red rectangles around the switches, LEDs, etc…
To configure a control, first click in the red rectangle you want to configure. A configuration
panel will appear below.
You then only need to declare which inputs or outputs numbers you want to use, based on
your own wiring. For more information on the IDX number of the cards, check
OpenCockpits documentation regarding SIOC.ini setup.
There are several controls types you can declare :
 Simple switches,
 LEDs,
 7-segments displays,
 Switches with built-in LED(s),
 Encoders with built-in push/release switches.

If you wish to use a “push” only encoder instead of a “push-pull” one (FCU encoders), you
can use the “long push=pull” function. In that case, pushing the encoder for more than
750ms will translate in a “pull” action.

The EFIS range and mode and ADIRS selectors have two modes. The 1-input per position
mode is straight forward. But if you need to save inputs on your cards, you can use the
binary coding mode.
Here are the different choices :

Here is the schematic for the range mode selector :

The diodes are used to avoid short-circuits !!

Same logic applies to the other selectors.

Regarding the OVHD « korries », an option called « latching » may be used. For dual
stable positions switches (ON-OFF), you can check this option.
If you use single stable position switches (MON-OFF), uncheck that option, so that on
each press of the switch the korry will change its state.
The following « Korries » are MON-OFF switches on the real aircraft , so you will need this
kind of switches for them (and « latching » option will be of no use):
 EXT PWR,
 APU START,
 Autobrake LO, MED & MAX,
 YELLOW ELECTRIC PUMP,
 ADR 1, 2 & 3.

6.4 - Other controls and analog axis

The « Misc » tab lets you declare other controls which are not part or the other. The
controls are listed in the left part of « Misc » tab (see next picture).
Regarding analog axis, there are two kind of them :
 First, on the OVHD, there are a few potentiometers which ask for an analog axis
declaration. These need to be directly declared there.
 The other are declared in the « Misc » tab : You can declare up to 16 different
analog axis, which will then be recognized in FMGS_Config application, same as
normal joystick axis would be.

7.2 - Autopilot and FBW tuning

If you use another aircraft than provided, you can create your own AP/FBW coefficients, by
modifying the « APFBWcoeff.ini » file and using the editor built-in the AP/FBW interface.
This is not an easy task, you must master the PID concept, and it is a long trial and error
process.
As a reminder, the A321 available in FSX is NOT compatible with the default coefficients.
You can also modify the sensitivity of your joystick axis in pitch and roll.
If you want to make your own coefficients, here are the basics. The formula used is :
d ɛ(t ) 1
A( t )= K p [ ɛ (t )+ T d
dt
+
Ti
∫ ɛ(t )d t ]
Except for the OP IAS modes, where it is:
d ɛ (t ) 1
A( t )= K p ɛ ( t )+ T d
dt
+
Ti
∫ ɛ( t ) d t
A is the resulting command, ɛ the error between command and position, Kp is the
proportional gain, Td is the derivative gai and Ti the integral gain.
 If you increase Kp, the error will be corrected faster, but may overshoot or become
unstable.
 If you increase Td, the system will anticipate faster and reduce oscillations. But if Td
is too big, the system will stabilize with a static error.
 If you decrease Ti, the static error will decrease, but stability will decrease at the
same time.
As you can see, a good tuning is the right balance on the three Kp, Td and Ti. In the
default coefficients, sometimes all three P/I/D terms are used, sometimes only P/D
sometimes only P/I…

7.3 - Flight Profile Data

The FMGS computes a vertical flight profile (« VNAV ») using performance data. The
performance data is calculated by a specific tool available only on “motivated” request.
The dataset published with the package is only valid for the default flight model.
The complete performance data is located in the PERF sub-folder, in « FMGS Server »
root. There is a separate sub-folder for each aircraft added (by default only “CFM” ou

“IAE”). The folders must all be declared in APFBWcoeff.ini file.

Let’s have a look at the PERF folder structure:
You can find in each aircraft PERF folder three sub-folders (FLEX, Profile and PID), and
several .txt and .ini files.
Do not change any files in the FLEX and Profile folders directly. The PID files should be
preferably changed using the editor in the AP/FBW application.
The .txt and .ini files may be modified. They concern the N1% thrust ratings of the aircraft,
reference speed definitions (minimum admissible values), green dot speed, …
N1% ratings (CFM and IAE) :
 They currently show the same values as can be found in an A320 FCOM. The
tables are:
 CLBn1.txt
 CRZn1.txt
 MCTn1.txt
 TOGAn1.txt
Syntax :
XX -1000 3000 7000 11000 15000 19000 23000 27000 31000 35000 39000
-54.0 73.5 75.4 77.0 77.8 78.8 79.8 80.7 81.5 82.5 83.9 83.9
-50.0 74.2 76.1 77.6 78.4 79.5 80.5 81.4 82.2 83.3 84.6 84.6
-46.0 74.8 76.8 78.3 79.1 80.2 81.2 82.1 82.9 84.0 85.3 85.3
 1st line : XX followed by an increasing list or pressure altitude, separated by a
single space character.
 Following lines: the first figure is the OAT in °Celsius, followed by the N1% ratings,
for each pressure altitude value.
 You are not limited by the number of lines or columns.
EPR ratings (IAE) :
 They currently show the same values as can be found in an A320 FCOM (for non
under rated aircraft). The tables are:
 CLBepr.txt
 CRZepr.txt
 MCTepr.txt
 TOGAepr.txt
 Same philosophy as N1 ratings. Currently, the EPR model is not taken from the
airfile, but still computed using the N1 ratings! So you MUST have correct N1 values
corresponding to the EPR ratings.

Reference speeds :
 They are defined in different files :
 V1MIN.txt
 V2MINconf1.txt
 V2MINconf2.txt
 V2MINconf3.txt
 VRMIN.txt
 They are the minimum V1/Vr/V2 as defined in the FCOM. They are not the V1/r/2
values that must be inserted in the MCDU!
 V1 and Vr values are in knots, and are function of pressure altitude and flaps
setting.
 V2 values are in knots, and are function of pressure altitude and gross weight. They
are entered for three flaps settings (1+F, 2, 3).
Cost index :
 The file CostIndex.txt contains data for the managed target IAS/mach.
 Each line starts with a CI value (0 is the maximum range, 999 the fastest travel),
followed by three IAS/mach couple, for CLB, CRZ and DES (in that order). Machs
are multiplied by 1000 (so M0.72 is represented 720).
A/BRK:
 You can modify the A/BRK deceleration values in the file ABRK.ini.
 The fixed rate section defines a single rate for LO and MED setting as they are
supposed to be possible in almost all runway conditions.
 The MAX rates vary a lot depending on the weight of the aircraft. You can define as
many rates as you wish (weight.x where x starts from 0, and weights should also be
in increasing values), weights are in tons and rates in ft/s².

8. Company Routes and Pilots Routes

8.1 - General
Version B49.0 has brought back the long awaited CO-RTE feature.
It has totally been rewritten from scratch, and will allow integration from third party
software if someone wants to produce the right flight plan import tools.
There are 2 different “saved” flight plan types: company routes (CO-RTE) and Pilots routes
(PIL-RTE). The difference is the CORTEs are normally stored in the navigation database
(from Jeppesen, LIDO, etc..) and tailored to the needs of the airline operating the aircraft.
PIL-RTE are entered by the pilots and saved in the FMGS for future use, usually a
foreseen diversion or the return flight plan.
Since Flight Simulator navigation data providers do not publish any CO-RTE, they will also
require user input to store them, this will be described here.

8.2 - Saving a PIL-RTE

To save a PIL-RTE, you must have a route entered in your FMGS, either in the main FPLN
or in the SEC FPLN. This means at the very least a TO/FROM airport couple.
Then, in the MCDU DATA Page N°2 (accessed using the DATA page key, then lateral
arrows), go to the PILOTS ROUTES prompt (RSK 4).
This will bring up the NEW ROUTE page (unless you already have a PIL RTE stored, in
which case you will need to push the NEW ROUTE prompt in RSK6). See the following
pictures.

Beta 54.x Back to index table :  Click Here Page 52 / 55

This page will display the ACTIVE and/or SECONDARY FPLN prompts only if they are
respectively filled in (at least TO/FROM airports).
To store the route, you will need to enter a name for it. You cannot enter an already used
route name. Once you click STORE prompt, with a valid name, the MCDU will store the
PIL-RTE and you will be able to use it on your following flights.
It is stored in a file, described later, so it will be available even after a restart of the
software, as long as you do not delete.

8.3 - CORTE.xml
All routes (PIL-RTE and CO-RTE) are stored in xml files.
There actually are two files, one for each navigation cycle (AIRAC) installed, so you can
find them on your FMGS Server PC under:
C:\A320FMGS\Navdata\Navdat1\CORTE.xml
C:\A320FMGS\Navdata\Navdat2\CORTE.xml
Though the name of the files is CORTE.xml, the PIL-RTE are also stored in the same files.
PLEASE NOTE that however, only the PIL-RTE stored in the Navdata1\CORTE.xml file
will be displayed!! So if you update your navigation data, you will need to keep that in mind
and edit the CORTE.XML files accordingly.

Here is an example of CORTE.xml syntax (next page) :

 As you can see in the example, there are 3 routes defined, 2 CO-RTE and one PIL-
RTE. The same syntax is used on both. SO if you want to finally use a PI-RTE as a
CO-RTE, it is a matter of changing the “TYPE” field from “PILRTE” to “CORTE”.
 The route named “CDGORY01” is used as an ALTN CO-RTE in the “NCECDG01”
CO-RTE. This means this route will be entered as an ALTN route when you load the
“NCECDG01” route as a normal route, but you could also use “CDGORY01” as a
“normal” CO-RTE (without any associated ALTN).
 PIL-RTE, though they have the same fields, do not store Cost Index, CRZ FL or FLT
NBR. They can store ALTN and ALTN CO-RTE.
