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:
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)
Really great stuff, most of knobs and buttons are works great, excepted EFIS's ROSE and Range not works.

Great stuff. I don't have the X Touch but I have used the template with other hardware. The only thing I can't get working is the seatbelts switch?
2 years ago
Have you tried:
1 (>K:CABIN_SEATBELTS_ALERT_SWITCH_TOGGLE)
?
If not, give it a shot. Not all Scripts available are in use, some are just old stuff witch got outdated

Excellent addition and thank you, I am also using a streamdeck as well as the X-touch and I don't know if you are aware but Guenseli's AAO profile for streamdeck has the CSTR toggle working on the streamdeck. I'm not sure I know enough of how to transport that over to the x-touch though.

I will have another look into the CSTR-Button implementation soon. Thank you for the heads up!

Merci beaucoup pour votre logiciel, sans votre assistance je n'aurais pas su programmer mon "touchmini", vous avez effectué un exellent travail de programmation. Jack

Hi and thank you for providing this great template. It helped me very much to make the LED`s on the x-touch work. But there are a few buttons, i don`t get to work: CSTR (no LED feedback), WPT (no LED feedback), LS (no LED feedback), Master caution
Great Work!

Hello and thank you for the good work. I'm using the Experimental branch, The EFIS (ND AND MOD) don't work since FBW have changed them from value 0-4, can you update it please? 😊

Thank you very much for the heads up.
But that only affects the experimental FBW build, right?

How do you get scripts for other planes, B777, B747, B737 etc ... do you have to use the A320 script?
2 years ago
Depending on who „made“ the plane, the commands and code used ist vastly different.
I only made the A32NX Template because that’s one I fly and thanks to the awesome FBW Team one of the most detailed ones (subsystems and so on). It is a lot of work to find out how everything works for different planes…
So: no, this Template is not compatible with any other Plane then the A32NX
Maybe someone shares their Template they made for other planes and you could try that.

The lights are currently not implemented because the last iteration got a bit buggy.
I will work on that next month.

I find that many/most of the functions no longer work after SU5/with the latest version of FBW A320. Is there any chance these files can be updated, or do we hope that future updates might make the scripts/template work again? Thanks to Axisor for the hard work!
2 years ago
Right now I´m trying to get the template working with the FBW Dev-Version.
I´m hoping to get it done within the next few days.
Unfortunately there are a few functions witch I´m struggling with.
But I think I´m getting the new version out anyway (I got most of the stuff working again in the upcoming version)

Autopilot not engaged. Plane going in circle until top of climb and AP still won’t engage.

Witch version of A32NX are you using?
As far as I know that is a problem of MSFS or FBW and not on the template side.

Yes, there are some Problems since Sim Update 5.

Brilliant work with this and thanks for making it available to all. Everything seems to be working fine apart from control of the ADIRS. I'm running the current Dev (3c036f3) version of FBWA320 and 2.09.b04 of AAO and your V1.0 template and script. It's not a major problem as you only need to do them once at start up, but I'm inquisitive as to why these are the only ones that aren't working.
2 years ago
I´m glad it works out for you!
Have you tried turning the ADIRS knob once more to the right?
I noticed that AAO needs some first input from the knob before it recognizes it as an input.
( first turn to the right is not recognized, the second turn is -> thats for all rotary knobs )

Are you still working on this? Today I updated the FBW after a week and my whole setup isn't working anymore? MAybe due to the update of the FBW? Just a few knobs are working like QNH or OXY thats it...any solution?

Witch versions of FBW and AAO are you using?
Have you tried deleting and then re-importing the AAO-Template?
