Jeehell FMGS - Tutorial

Right after the Installer is started, we need to choose Simulator version we want to use. In this example it is P3D V4.0 to V4.5

Next we need to choose Main Application components. Let's say, that we need support for the complete hardware cockpit, like the one from here. Accordingly, we need to check all the components, which reflect our hardware configuration. If we do not have something like for example MCDU F/O or MIP F/O side, then we do not install these components.

Next, we need to choose Hardware Modules to be installed.

If you have any other hardware then SKALARKI, then you will need to add the support for that as well. This can be done with the first installation or added later. Finally, there is nothing to check in Software Panels, as we have the full hardware cockpit, so we don't need them.

If any of hardware elements is missing like OVHD for example, then we can use software version instead, which would be running on lcd touch screen. Then, we will have to add this sofware element. Click "Next" to move to the next Window. Here, we can select some optional features.

Click "Next" to See Installation summary. If something is not correct or missing, go back and change it. Any changes can be done, as well as using Installer again.

Once the Installation is finished, the Information window will show where you can find Software versions and changes.

Click "Next" to proceed to two last steps. In Window "Configure" you need to choose how FMGS will be configured. Normally, you don't need to edit any of the default values there. 3 check boxes on the top of the window are crucial.

The Paths are obviously exmaples and they are different in each system. Once you are happy with config, click on "Done" button. The last installation step is controls configuration. Joystick or hardware side stick configuration is crucial, so please do not skip this step.

More informations about FMGS itself can be found in the detailed manuals copied to FMGS installation folder.

In Multi PC setup, the most important is to have a plan of the system before the installation. For dual seat cockpits we recommend 3 PC's setup. Main PC - Connected hardware: Side sticks, rudder pedals, Overhead and complete MIP - Software: p3d, fmgs_server, SkalarkiIO Profiler Instruments PC - To drive only MIP instruments (3 lcd screens) - Software: fmgs displays Pedestal PC - To drive complete Pedestal, LAN connected only. - Software: fmgs_client, fmgs MCDU CS and F/O, FSUIPC Client, SkalarkiIO Profiler Now, on each PC we need to install required components using FMGS Installer application. During the Installation process we need to choose required elements accordingly. 1.2.1 For Main PC components we need only "Masrter P3D PC", "FMGS Server and AP/FBW", "EGPWS logic", "Sound Module", "FSUIPC Support" and "SKALARKI I/O"

After the Installation we need to Configure FMGS accordingly for Main PC. Please check the paths to make sure, they are correct for your setup.

1.2.2 For Instruments PC components we need only instruments displays "PFD Captain Side", "ND Captain Side", "PFD FO Side", "ND FO Side", "EWD", "SD", "ISIS" and "DDRMI"

After the Installation we need to Configure FMGS accordingly for Instruments PC. Please check the IP addresses as well as paths, to make sure they are correct for your setup.

1.2.3 For Pedestal PC components we need only "MCDU Captain Side", "MCDU FO Side", "FSUIPC Support" and "SKALARKI I/O"

After the Installation we need to Configure FMGS accordingly for Instruments PC. Please check the IP addresses as well as paths, to make sure they are correct for your setup.

Now all the configuration should be completed. If you have forgotten to install any of FMGS elements, you can always run the Installer again and add/remove elements.

Run only: SkalarkiIO Profiler, P3d and fmgs_config.exe in any order. Once all 3 apps run, SkalarkiIO Profiler should look like this one below. It is important to have all the boxes green on the left hand side.

If SIMULATION box and SIM INTERFACE is red, that means there is no p3d running or no FSUIPC installed.

If AIRCRAFT Interface is red, that means fmgs_config.exe is not running or JEEHELL FMGS Server Settings in Profiler/Settings are wrong. Please make sure the Server IP is correct. If the Profiler is running on the same PC as p3d and fmgs_config.exe, then the IP address should be either 127.0.0.1.

Or static IP of this machine

In Profiler/Settings make sure TQ levers you want to calibrate are enabled.

In SkalarkiIO Profielr hit "Run Profile" button,

then switch to fmgs_config window view.

To calibrate TQ levers, click in the THR LVR 1 text box,

then move slowly Lever 1 of the hardware TQ.

Repeat the same for Lever 2, click in the THR LVR 2 text box,

then again, move slowly Lever 2 of the hardware TQ.

It is important, that both Levers are detected correctly, so make sure they are detected like in the picture above. If the numebrs are swapped, repeat the procedure. Sometimes to repeat the procedure you might need to Stop Profile, then Run Profile again. If detected correctly, we can proceed with the levers calibration.

From "Choose Lever to Setup" dropdown pick lever you want to calibrate.

Let's start with LVR 1

Once selected, we need to calibrate the detent Positions.

Click on TOGA label, then move Lever 1 to TOGA position, change Value for "Error around detent Position: to 6, then hit "Set" Button.

Then the same with FLX/MCT

In Profiler/Settings make sure Flaps and Spoiler you want to calibrate are enabled.
