Can you add support of external weatcher addons like XP_NOAAWeather or EFASS?

XL newer produce own "QNH info" but read this from x-plane metar file. Sometimes x-plane have internal "standart 1013" and I dont know why.

to be clear, we need just one of three kind of:

enthusiasts
or
investors
or
payware library designer

As I know X-Plane business well, i think no investors we will get smile

But, if X-Life will be popular may be we will see enthusiasts or payware library designer in future.

Good day,
So, here is a bbox so you can compare a good flight with everything working as far as I could tell also the route was generated from the X-Life Flight plan widget.
Next, the aircraft I used this time was the A330 just for a change of pace.. just a dream to use in XL ...

Hi,

Just any questions :

-is it possible to use Xlife with SkyMaxx Pro 3 ? If yes, how must the parameters set ?

Skymaxx3 is only a cloud and sky builder that read the metar from weather plugin and work with x-life without problem. The problem is for the weather injector (ex FSGRW or noaaplugin, ecc), i've tried to use fsgrw but x-life don't read the metar. At the moment, and for my situation, x-life work well only with x-plane default weather

Re: X-Life public beta-5 090216 (Win & Mac)

Re: X-Life public beta-5 090216 (Win & Mac)

Good Evening,

Flight LFMN to EDDH

some remarks :

At LFMN :
-ATC told me to take off runway 04L. But all the others aircrafts take off from 04R as often usual in real life and arriving aircraft are landing runway 04R
-ATC told me " Lining up and wait runway 04L" . Whats do it mean ? Wait on the holding point before the runway or to align on the runway  and wait there ?

When reaching the Top of Climb, I have to report these one. But unfortunately ATC told me already "ready for descend"; pilot's discretion descending to FL 30 expect. But I was at 350 NM from airport

-would it be possible to update the bug with the TA/RA mode of the transponder (actually only the TA mode is OK)

Thanks a lot

I use X-Life with FS Global Real Weather and SkyMaxxPro v3.
It works fine beside the fact, that ATIS doesn't show the weather info.

Re: X-Life public beta-5 090216 (Win & Mac)

Hello,

i tested this nice plugin. The most things work fine.

Some announcements:

1. If you use not a JarDesign Aircraft, maybe the standard 747 from X-Plane 10.42, and i activate the ATC Panel and press there a button, X-Plane will crash immediately. X-Life is only for JarDesign Aircrafts ?

2. If i use my A330 Jardesign Aircraft and i finished pusback, i can request a follow me car. But it do not appear after 1 minute. I think i need the Follow Me Plugin from Jardesign ?

3. i tested serveral airports and at the airports EDDL; EDDM; EDDV;  EDDH; EDDN, i get AI Traffic from the X-life Plugin.
At a smaller airport EDDG was no AI traffic.

Which information need the airport, that x-life produce there AI Traffic?

4. The ATC Panel is sometimes not reachable, if another plugin use the space on the right side. Take  a look at the following screenshot.

How did you get AI traffic coming from X-Life at EDDN & EDDV?
Did you create your own plugins/X-Life/Airports/.dat plugins/X-Life/Airports/.txt files for these airports?

Hi !

last flight from EDDL to EDDH was no problem.

- NO CDT :-)

- after copying "...corporate\citation_x\object.obj" to "...\citiation_x\lit\" and "...\citiation_x\unlit\" no more invisible planes.

- on taxyway, a plane drive through me :-)

Now I pushed back, then Bye TOW.

After that, a plane marked "taxiing" just went through me :-)

Rest was no problem :-)

I tested it again. It was only EDDN. I have read some threads about ATC Taxi Lines in this forum
and i can see them inside the apt.dat from the EDDN airport. That is the reason, why there drive
AI Aircrafts with the X-Life Plugin.

EDDV has not this ATC Taxi Routes.


Did you create your own plugins/X-Life/Airports/.dat plugins/X-Life/Airports/.txt files for these airports?

No. If i understand correct, then the ATC Taxi Routes have to be in the apt.dat File from the airport or
inside the folder:
C:\X-Plane 10\Resources\plugins\X-Life\Airports

There are to files:
EDDH.dat
EDDH.txt

*.dat is for ATC Taxi Routes.
What is the task from the EDDH.txt file? It seems to be the parking position of the aircraft. But in normal
case this position are inside the eddh.dat or apt.dat file too ?!

The .dat files are the ones, where the taxi routes and ramp start positions are read from.
note, that x-life positiones the aircraft's nose at the ramp start position. since you don't want to get your aircraft loaded too far in the front (x-plane positions the center of gravity of your aircraft at the ramp start whenan airport is being loaded), the ramp start positions between the .dat file in custom scenery and the .dat file (same airport) in x-life's airports folder differ a bit.

The .txt files in X-life's airports folder contain the exact details (kind of taxi in and taxi out, wingspan, reserved for static aircraft only etc.) for every ramp start. you can define them, via the gate editor of x-life (see plugins menu) if the file doesn't exist or seems to be incorrect. notify the developer of x-life, if you think that you found an error in one of the existing .txt files.

Re: X-Life public beta-5 090216 (Win & Mac)

Ok completed a flight from LOWI to EDDL and no CTD. Just 2 thing i noticed:

- At LOWI i've been at holding point for about 10 minutes waitin a GA aircraft for landing (think a better timing is needed)
- When the GA Aircraft landed i got the clearance for line up but i was the number 2 at holding point and i had to pass over another aircraft

Finally just an idea for the ai traffic aircrafts: there are for free at the x-plane.org sets of planes (from user bluebell) made for another plugin and they cover already almost entire fleet of aircraft in the world and maybe will be possible a conversion (asking the author obviously).
Anyway this will be absolutely a must have plugin - keep up the good work

Re: X-Life public beta-5 090216 (Win & Mac)

Hi,

Yesterday I flew from LFMN to LFBO

flight OK. But at LFMN, ATC told me to take off runway 04L : all the other planes arrived and take off from 22R / 22L
Moreover the real used runway (i phoned the number at the ATIS service in Nice)  were also the 22R and 22L.

Does exist a special things to do with the plugin, to update the current runway in use ?

Thanks a lot

46

Re: X-Life public beta-5 090216 (Win & Mac)

On this stage of development may be a situation when you get landing Runway at TOD, but while you fly wind was changed and was changed runway in use. For "like this" situation be cool to have wind info from ATIS and from Tower saved with report. From Tower - it always saved to log.txt I will do some to save ATIS too.

Please read a FAQ before you post a bug http://support.jardesign.org

Re: X-Life public beta-5 090216 (Win & Mac)

Is it possible to make the A321 work in x-life ? Or can someone write the anim for it ?
I have modified my OpenSceneryX aircrafts with real paints for the B737 (all types), A319 and A320. Works fine, but there is no A321 folder in X-Life and the OpenSceneryX !!!
This plugin rules and it make fun to test X-Life. Thanks

48

Re: X-Life public beta-5 090216 (Win & Mac)

I think I will make a folder for custom-build aircrafts inside X-Life folder. X-Plane will read this aircrafts too, like OpenSceneryX library. Also may be a good idea to make animated LG (just show/hide or smooth). I expect what as soon as X-Life traffic will be freeware - will be a number of users who want prepare more advanced 3D for it. I think what payware will be only some "Deluxe" options - ATC, Flightplan, e.t.c. for whom, who really need it. But if you take part in beta-tests and post helpful reports, sure, i will just send "Deluxe" serials for free.

Yes, I can add animations and lights for model. I usually online (check if my skype j.a.romanov label is green) for details.
