This is the template I created for controling the FCU (Autopilot-Panel) of the A32NX with the Behringer X-Touch Mini via AAO.

Two folders included, one for Stable and one for Dev Mode. Pic yours. (latest Dev-Version is tested and thus recommended for use)

Get more control in your Sim with the use of X-Touch and Axis and Ohs.

You can control all the red circled knobs and yellow circled buttons/switches with this template.

 

The Scripts for AAO are included seperately, so you can just import them to create your own templates

 

Update 1.2:

• for the current FBW Dev-Version please use the template marked DEV_1.2
• for the current FBW Stable-Version please use template marked 1.1
• Bugfixes for EFIS Mode/Range, ALT 100/1000, BAT, Seatbelts, LED-Feedbacks

Update 1.1:

• - Bug-fixes for the A32NX DEV-Version
• - HDG / SPD - fast turn integration

Update 0.4.1:

• - Compability for AAO Ver. 2.04 (a lot of Background Changes)
• - 1/10 degree Bug for SPD and HDG Knob Workaround implemented (when using a Honeycomb, Thrustmaster TCA or simmilar Hardware)
• - Acceleration for large Changes in HDG / SPD / Kohlsman implemented
• - LEDs Encoder 6 (ALT) Feedback for Managed / Selected ALT implemented (note you have to Press the top Button under Knob 7 to switch between Managed/Selected ALT)

- This ist not a AAO trutorial, please read the AAO manual first! - Check your settings on the X-Touch in order for this template to work! (as shown in the screenshots) Requirements (what you need):

• - Axis and Ohs ver2.23 or newer (payware)
• - Behringer X-Touch Mini (MIDI-Device)

IMPORTANT: Follow the steps below!!

Instructions on how to get the template working:

Watch Import Process

1. Make sure you got the X-Touch set up as shown in the screenshots with X-Touch Editor
2. Close X-Touch Editor (this is important, because the Editor is blocking the inputs sent to AAO)
3. Start AAO
4. In AAO select "Hardware" and make sure you got "MIDI devices enabled" checked
5. Start MSFS2020
6. Start a Flight with A320
7. In AAO select "Scripting" -> "Import Scripts" -> select the script (A32NX_Script_*ver*) -> select all Script-Folders -> Click "Import" -> if it asks for "Override" always klick yes
8. In AAO select "Templates" -> "Import Template" -> select the template (A32NX_Template_*ver*)
9. In AAO select "Templates" -> "Apply a template to this Aircraft" -> select template (A32NX_Template_*ver*) (you have to repeat this stepfor each livery you want to use it with!)
10. Hit Replace and NOT merge -> If you want to use your existing setup, make sure you have saved your setup before.

11. Restart AAO !!!

When you update from an older version of the template apply all the steps from 3 to 9 as well and don't miss 8.

When you update AAO from an older version, you have to re-start AAO

 

 

If Your LED´s are not working proceed with the following:
1. In AAO select "Hardware" -> "Show MIDI devices"
2. If X-Touch Mini is MIDI-OUT "ID: 3" -> you are good to go
   -> If X-Touch Mini is NOT MIDI-OUT "ID: 3" -> note "YOUR MIDI-OUT ID Number"
3. As shown in the screenshot *Number 2* in AAO select "Scripting" -> "Manage RPN scripts"
4. Open the Scripts on the left with "LED" in the title, then double-klick EACH of the scripts listed
5. Edit the "Red Marks" in the screenshot to "YOUR ID Number"
6. Click "Update"
7. Repeat Steps 12 to 14 until you have edited all scripts

99. Congrats, you finally got it working!!

I share this because it took me hours to implement all of the functions from scratch so hopefully you don´t have to.

Once I got it working the way it is now, it is way more fun to fly the A32NX FBW without the hassle of mouse-wheeling all the time while trying to stay on the knobs ingame.

Feel free to modify to your needs!

Leave a comment or a like and let me know how it works for you.

Known Bugs:

- the template is not loaded in AAO -> you have apply the template to each airplane and livery before you can use it

- the HDG Indicator of the FCU shows a reading with a HDG number and a dot near it instead of --- + dot or a number only -> could happen if you performed a go-around and had the AP with LOC / APPR active -> use the mouse to push/pull the knob to restore the normal behavior and get unstuck

- Plane is going in circles with AP on: Game-Bug

- Function not working -> try disconnecting and re-connection AAO (the green dot in AAO)

Whats planned mid-term:

- getting the "Cstr" Button for ND to work

- dedicated Template for the use of two X-Touch Minis simultaniously (like a dedicated Overhead one with all the lights, crew oxygen, cabin call, APU control an so on and one for the FCU)
