Serial for Windows users: XL-BETA-030116-WIN
Serial for Mac OSX users: XL-BETA-030116-MAC

-------FOR USERs---------------------------------------->
You can use this version with airports what are always have custom ATC-routed description. Please use this map https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid= … sp=sharing
If you click on every of this airport - you will find a link for this sceneries.

-------FOR ScENERIES DEVELOPERS-------------------->
So, is you are X-Plane scenery developer, you may use this version to check how good your WED atc-taxi-routes work with real traffic plugin. X-Life may read apt.dat files well, direct from Custom scenery folder. Also you can export apt.dat using WED to ../X-Life/Airports/ folder. In this case, X-Life will ignore apt.dat in Custom scenery and will read your XXXX.dat (XXXX - ICAO airport code) from ../X-Life/Airports/. Sure, you need do one more thing before testing - use X-Plane menu / Plugins / X-Life / Gates editor to set parameters for EVERY gate (batch edit supported). If you need some examples of propertly builded airports ATC-taxiroutes, you may just import any of this (http://jardesign.org/forum/viewforum.php?id=33) using WED and look into. Sure, you need registration serial. Please contact me direct via skype j.a.romanov (only way) for this.

-------About FMCar-------------------------------------->
If you use FMCar, please update your version - it will be compatible with X-Life (useful to request ATC for FMCar and ATC will call FMCar for you and supply it with needed Ground Route).

-------FAQ------------------------------------------------>
I see issues! Should I post here? - Mostly - Yes. If you are scenery developer, your way - contact direct via skype to discuss some. If you are regular X-Plane user - you can post, i will read, BUT for many-many your issues, please be sure what I have the same issues this time and know about this, cause plugin is incomplete and not for comfort using now. This is some another, earlier stage of development.

What is the FlywithLUA actually doing is it aiding a X-Life plugin or exactly which plugin is it helping if it is not necessary remove it  I have seen CTD's before when the FlyWithLUA has acted like this...

Re: X-Life public beta-2 030116 (Win & Mac)

Hello,

Thanks for this addon. Yet I found that the ATC gave me a Squawk of 1388, yet the transponder only allows digits until 7.

This is a tmp diagnostic message for me (developer). Time by time X-Plane system change local coordinates of the same points. In this moment coordinated and positions of all objects in area should be recalculated.

Add this to "should be fixed". You can set any this time. For future, ATC will control this - is it was really set or nor.

Re: X-Life public beta-2 030116 (Win & Mac)

Hi,

for me the plugin is working very well - on Mac. I noticed a crash, if you request descent on appr before requesting on center channel. But if you do it the right order - first center then app it works fine.

Since I am so unhappy with built in ATC I am most interested in ATC functions. Do you plan to implement vector approaches for airports without stars sometime in the future?

Excellent work so far!

Cheers,
Tim

Re: X-Life public beta-2 030116 (Win & Mac)

This time i just listen to you, dear pilots. What you like, what unlike, what is bad, what is not bad. What is your perfomance, framerate, smooth drawing. I need need info before next trip, next stage of improvement. All is possible, i think.

Re: X-Life public beta-2 030116 (Win & Mac)

On my trip, I weirdly saw no traffic, although it was turned on. Do I have to change the desired framerates for more traffic to appear? Also I would like to see other airplanes communicating through the ATC chat. Also on my flight the ATC let me land on RWY 16 in LOWW, yet it had over 12kt headwind, which let me crash sad it would be nice to see a runway change feature. Yet I really like that the ATC is accurate about what to do in order to fly.

Re: X-Life public beta-2 030116 (Win & Mac)

Yes, this is ALL settings what you can set with ver 030116

Runway operation interval better set to 2 minutes (and more in need)
Gates busy - better no more 75%
Air traffic density - 50-100%

K,
if you think a CTD is going to start like Beach Ball starts to spin up press Command key and hold down until beach ball stops the spin up !
