EFB Sim Settings Explained
Currently, the livery settings are applied, and then your saved defaults are applied on
top. There isn't per aircraft handling otherwise if you set a default unit then it's implied
you want the unit as a global default. If you want the specific livery settings then you'll
need to click 'Use Airline Settings' and then tweak any other settings back to the ones
you want.
Save Default:
This will save any options you have changed and apply them on top of the livery config.
Airframe:
DDRMI:
Activates the Digital Distance Radio Magnetic Indicator above the left DCDU.
STANDBY:
Swap between the Integrated Standby Instrument System (ISIS) or the analogue 3 pack.
CABIN READY:
BRAKE FANS:
Toggle the brake fans push button and the fans on the model.
DCDU:
Show or hide the Datalink Ctl and Display Unit (DCDU)
SATCOM ANTENNA:
3 different options.
FLS:
Gives users the ability to turn on the AP/FD TCAS mode. This is a vertical guidance mode
built into the Auto Flight computer. It controls the vertical speed (V/S) of the aircraft on a
vertical speed target adapted to each RA, which is acquired from TCAS. With the Auto
Pilot engaged, it allows the pilot to fly the TCAS RA manoeuvre automatically.
L/DEV:
Enables the lateral deviation scale at the bottom of the PFD for non precision
approaches.
Enables the aircraft to auto switch the AC Essential bus from AC1 to AC2.
Y HYD STEERING:
Toggle between steering being powered by either the Yellow (Option turned on - newer
aircraft) or Green system (option off - older aircraft).
NAV IN GO AROUND:
Enables the ice detection probe which will give ECAM warnings if icing is detected.
EFB MOUNT:
Toggle between having the EFB mounted on the window or the frame. Frame mounting
allows the use of the sunblind.
Cabin:
CABIN LIGHTS:
Enable or disable the lights in the cabin. These will now automatically dim in sync with
the cabin announcements.
CABIN VISIBILITY:
Controls:
SDS:
SDS is Sidestick Damping Simulation. SDS includes a reactivity and damping simulation to
emulate the dynamics of the real sidestick and to translate those as best as possible to
your home joystick. The real sidestick is a heavily damped and incredibly sturdy unit. It
would be impossible to recreate fully the dynamics of this using a home desktop joystick,
but SDS aims to bring it slightly closer. Opinions will vary, hence this is turned OFF by
default. If OFF, it has no effect and aircraft handling will be the same as pre-update.
Rudder Damping:
This can be used with linear rudder sensitivity, followed by adjusting the sensitivity per
your preferences. If you do not use the rudder damping option, we recommend a
minimum sensitivity of -40%.
Control Position:
Which position in the flight deck that the sidestick will move. Left for Captain, Right for
First Officer.
Used for linking the Baro/altimeters. Can switch between Independent, Linked - which
links both PFDs and the standby or Link L+R which just links both PFDs and leaves the
standby independent.
Enable to have the doors automatically open when required. This is disabled when using
the GSX integration.
Enable to have the jetway automatically dock and undock. This is disabled when using
the GSX integration.
Typically used for controller/gamepads to have the thrust levers not jump through the
detents.
Scrolling Acceleration:
Used to dictate how fast the knob scrolling for the FCU (incl EFIS BARO), RMP, clock &
standby baro. When using hardware like miniFCU, the acceleration can be undesired, so
this option allows you to turn it off.
RA Callouts:
Units:
DISTANCE:
Toggle between Meters and feet units in both the EFB and MCDU.
PRESSURE:
Toggle between hectopascal and inches in the EFB performance apps.
WEIGHT:
Toggle between Kilograms and Pounds in both the EFB and MCDU.
GSX:
See the GSX Integration KB article for full information on these options.
Cabin Announcements:
MUTE ON TASK SWITCH: Enabling this will mute the cabin announcements when MSFS
isn't in focus.
