1 FMC for all airliners ?

#1 Post by ryma »

Maybe I did not search long enough or inaccurately.
For the A320 from Flight Factor there are a lot of instruments. As well as for many other aircraft.
But in the whole instrument package I see only one FMC, the one for the ZIBO.

Question: Should this FMC be usable by all airliners?

Is that an unusual question?
I hope not. Because I would like to know if my planned purchase of the FF Airbus 320 would work with the AM FMC from Zibo?
Would be happy to receive an answer.

Forgot to answer this. There's unfortunately no generic way to solve this. Each aircraft developer uses their own datarefs or variables, if they even do publish them.

If you want an FMC that works with a lot of planes (in XPlane)
WebFMC is a good addon to try.
As with every sophisticated addon, there is no “one fits all”, as each of them uses special Datarefs.

For example, except for very basic XPlane functions, the FFA320 instruments won’t work as is for the Toliss A321/319.

While waiting for an answer I also came across WebFMC. And as a second option also AirFMC from Haversine.com.
Let's see what suits me better.
Thanks for the answers.
