ATC not responding in airbus!
So whenever I fly the PSS A320, or the SSW A310, my communication with ATC will randomly get cut off. The display is still there, but pressing (1) (2), etc. etc. does nothing. I cannot hear or speak with ATC. It usually only happens after i've had the airbus running for 5 or 10 minutes. I thought it was just a bug with SSW, but this is also happening with the PSS airbus as well (and no other aircraft!) No other function stops working nothing else freezes up, I just cannot talk with ATC.

could it be an electrical system failure or something in the panel itself? Try switching panels and see if it helps
FEM is right on with this one. I've been getting electrical failures with it. So here's the thing, I check under the "failures" menu, and un-check the electrical failure, only to see it pop right back up again the second I close the failures menu! Any ideas? Is this a procedural-problem i'm having with the PSS that is causing this or a bug in the program?
So an answer was posed in PSS's FAQ, but I need some help translating this. Now was the "technical tab" only available in FS 2002's version of FSUIPC? or the full version? My FS9 certainly doesn't have this.
check FS2002, Modules, FSUIPC, select technical tab, check "Extend battery life"
I'm not sure how the airbus works, but make sure that all the electrical systems are on. If you start the engines yourself, after you get it all done, still press CTRL+E to make sure all the systems are on, or autostart the last engine, so that everything is on.
I can categorically tell you that this is caused by a a bug in FS2004 that is causing your battery to run flat.
The reason I'm so cetain is because I had a nightmare with this with the PSS Dash-8.....
You need to get a fully registered copy of FSUIPC... this application then has a tick box called "Extend Battery Life" which in effect fixes the bug.
FSUIPC is included within the MODULES menu BUTit is not fully activated unless you buy a registration code form Peter Dowson (the Author).
When you enter this code, a number of pages are added that give you great user features ...... the above fix is just one of the features.
Thanks GPS, I just did that last night. It works rather well, although this is probably the only feature of FSUIPC that I'll be using =)
Yip - I know exactly where you're coming from - some people say FSUIPC is an amazing tool but all I've ever done with mine is stop that same problem from happening with the PSS Dash 8 !
If that happens on more than one PSS plane, wouldn't it be a hint NOT to get them, because something is wrong with them?
A simple battery discharge issue is nothing in comparison to the aircraft that they offer. It's like saying that mixed nuts are aweful because you ate a bad peanut in the can. It's thanks to addons like these that mean I can never go back to default, or even simple free-ware addons again!
Nah nah nah nah ! FEM, you're miles off the charts!
The reason for this issue is that these types of add-ons go way way beyond what default FS2004 is capable of..... Because of this, they require FSUIPC because it's a complex interface tool and it's needed to "talk" to FS.
So it's not a fault - it's a case that to use such complex add-ons, you need to add this FSUIPC tool to your armoury.
Incidentally PSS are the Number 1 developers for complex add-ons.... you should give them a try, you have all those Flying Hours on that 757 you must be up for a new challenge !
maybe....But when PSS makes a 757, i'll get it 😎
They are making a 757..... no realease date yet but some details on the web-site: www.phoenix-simulation.co.uk
I can't wait for that one 😂
nice! 😎
