PilotsDeck/StreamDeck Profile for FBW A32NX

 

Here are the StreamDeck Profiles I created with my PilotsDeck Plugin for the FBW A32NX.
It has all the usual Buttons/Switches/Korries from the Overhead, MIP/Glareshield, Pedestal, FCU (working Displays), MCDU (with Full Keyboard) and DCDU to support normal Flight Operations without touching the Mouse! Including the GSX Menu on your StreamDeck and GSX Service Automations!

They are designed for my SD/XL/Plus Setup:

• MSFS-FBW32N => The SD Profile which only has supplementary Functions: Changing Views, Monitoring/Calling GSX, UTC Clock and the XPDR
• MSFS-FBW32N-Plus => SD+ Profile with mostly everything that makes Sense to control via the Encoders: FCU, EFIS, Radio, ACP, WXR, Display-/EFB-Brightness, Lights
• MSFS-FBW32N-XL => The XL Profile with all Functionalities. Besides specific Folders for the different Panels/Areas it has Folders for the different Flight-Phases with the most critical/common Controls needed for that Phase.

That means you need at least the StreamDeck XL (or SD+) to get any Use out of it. Please don't ask for SD-Only Profiles - it just got too much to maintain. But you can still use the Plugin and the other Files from this Package to build your own SD Profile customized for your Needs!

The Profiles are for your own and private Usage. You are not allowed to republish / reupload them or any other Package-Content anywhere.

Some of Icons are from Guenseli's Icon Pack - Credits & Thanks to him!

 

Requirements & Setup

 

Requirements:

• You need to have at least Version 0.8.6 of my PilotsDeck Plugin installed & running. If you upgrade from a Version earlier than 0.8.0, I recommend to do a clean Installation:
  • Make a Export of the Profiles you created with PilotsDeck
  • Remove the Plugin via the Installer and then Install it again.
• The Profiles require the Fonts "Digital 7" and "Alte Din 1451 Mittelschrift" installed on your System - you can find them freely in the Internet
• Tested with / Designed for recent Development Versions (before 380 Release)

Installation:

1) Open the **Profile Manager App from the Plugin and drop the downloaded zip-File on the Arrow. Check the Readme for Details.

2) Hit Install and **add the Profiles to the StreamDeck Software by the Link presented in the App (choose the correct Deck in the StreamDeck Software)

3) If you had the Profiles installed before (and did not rename them), the Profile Manager will automatically remove the old Profiles and rename the new Ones (removing the Copy from the Name)

4) For Upgraders: Remove the FBW320_* and GSX_AUTO Lua Scripts from your FSUIPC7 Directory & Configuration.

 

Setting up the Views:

The Buttons to change Views are based on the vJoy Driver - you can only use these if you have installed that optional Plugin Dependency. 
They are mapped to Custom Cameras in MSFS. Map the vJoy Buttons to the "Load Custom Camera" Bindings and Save/Create your Custom Cameras for the respective Button/View (CTRL + ALT + Number). If you already have Custom Cameras defined for the FBW, map the vJoy Buttons accordingly and/or change the Mapping in the Profiles which Button is triggered.

The preconfigured Mappings are:
| vJoy Button# | Mapping in MSFS | Title in Profile |
| 1 | Load Custom Camera 1 | Captain |
| 2 | Load Custom Camera 2 | Overhead |
| 3 | Load Custom Camera 3 | Pedestal |
| 4 | Load Custom Camera 4 | ECAM / MIP |
| 5 | Load Custom Camera 5 | MCDU |
| 6 | Load Custom Camera 6 | EFB |
| 7 | Load Custom Camera 7 | Eng L (Passenger, front of Engine) |
| 8 | Load Custom Camera 8 | Eng R (Passenger, front of Engine) |
| 9 | Load Custom Camera 9 | Wing L (Passenger View, behind Wing) |
| 10 | Load Custom Camera 0 | Wing R (Passenger View, behind Wing) |
| 11 | Toggle External View | External |
| 12 | Toggle Cockpit View | Cockpit |

 

Usage

I hope/think most Buttons should be self-explanatory. They are generally configured in such a way to trigger the most common Action in the respective Phase. If applicable, they have a long Press for Off, Reset or a second Key. Some Notices:

• The (3-State) Light Switches behave differently depending on Folder
  • On "Gate" they are toggled between Low- and Mid-Position.
  • On "Taxi" they toggle from Low > Mid <> Up (so they can quickly be triggered when entering/leaving the Runway). A long Press will set to Low.
  • On "Flight" they toggle from Low <> Up (so full either full on or off). Except the Strobes ;)
• The Fire Test, CVR Test and TO Conf Buttons are "Hold Switches". So you need to press and hold them as you would do with the Mouse.
• The FCU-Displays are also Buttons. They either toggle between Managed/Selected (normal Press) or toggle things like SPD/MACH, HDG/TRK, Alt Scale (long Press). The VS Display/Button is Pull (normal) or Push (long). On the SD+ Managed/Selected is on pressing the Encoder and the other toggle Functions on the Touch-Display.
• The SD+ has different Pages. You can use the Buttons to navigate between them, or use the Swipe-Feature to go to the next / previous Page - for Example for a quick Switch from FCU to Radio or FCU to EFIS.
• The Radios Dials on the SD+ control both Frequency Parts: Push the Dial to switch between Outer and Inner Knob (a ">" or "<" denotes the current Knob). Tap the Touch-Display to swap Frequencies. (Turn -> Press -> Turn -> Tap)
• The MDCU Menu Keys have long Presses: "INIT DATA" for Example will select the INIT-Page on a normal Press and the DATA-Page on a long Press. The "AOC" Button is a little Key-Sequence which directly takes you to the AOC Menu.
• Generally on other Multi-Position Switches the normal and long Press either are mapped to the different Directions (e.g. normal is UP/ON, long is DOWN/OFF) OR the Action automatically toggles between the usual States.

 

INIT Button

In the GSX Folder you will find a Button called "INIT" which will do some initial Steps in the Cockpit when pressed (turn on Power, loading a Light Preset, power-on the EFB, releasing Brake when Chocks placed). You can change that some of that on-demand via the Script Settings Folder. You can of course also make changed to the INIT_AC Function, but I'd recommend to place your Changes in a separate Lua File and just change the Address of the INIT-Button (makes your Life easier on Updates).
By Default the Script will load Light Preset 1 - so either save your Light Preset as 1 or change the default Value in the Script.

 

GSX Menu & Automations

The included GSX Script allows you to use the GSX Menu from your StreamDeck. So please disable the GSX In-Game Menu (=Icon not white in the Toolbar), else the Menu will constantly pop-up.
In the GSX Folder (or SD Profiles's Main Page) you have an Action called "Smart Button" which shows the current Phase/State and automatically calls the "next" Service when pressed. Which Service that is will be displayed in Orange (if there is something to call). For Example you can use it to request Push-Back and after the Push-Back to confirm the Engine Start.

Note that this Script does also GSX Service Automations (like Fenix2GSX) - for the FBW (and other Aircrafts) all Automations except Reposition will be enabled (no Worries on the Fenix - it will disable the Automations there). With the Way FBW has implemented their GSX Integration (the correct Way), you can have almost the same Experience (less customizable, no Audio-Control) on the FBW as on the Fenix + Fenix2GSX.

If you do not want that or want to choose which Automations to run, you can change the Settings per Session in the Script Settings Folder (XL only) or by holding the Smart Button for longer than 1s. To change the Defaults, either change them in the Script File -OR- (recommended) create a GSX-User Script to set your own Defaults (makes your Life easier on Updates).
For a more detailed Explanation, check the Description of the GSX Package!

 

GSX Flow

Just a short Summary:

• Refuel is called as soon as the NAV-Lights are on and Jetway/Stairs are connected
  • If your EFB is not configured to automatically import the SimBrief Payloads, please make sure to import SimBrief before the Truck arrives
• Catering is called together with Refuel (not on the Cargo Version)
• Boarding/Loading is called when Refuel is completed
• Stairs (only) will be removed after Boarding is finished
• Switching on the BEACON will remove Ground-Equipment
• Start Push via the Smart-Button, Select the Direction in the Menu, Confirm Push with the Smart-Button
• On Arrival, pre-select your Gate
• As soon as the Engines are stopped, Brakes set and Beacon is off, Deboard/Unload is called
• After Deboard is finished, it will wait for 150s and then triggers GSX to reload SimBrief and calls Refuel again (Switch off the Nav-Lights to delay Refuel)
