-------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. Please use this guide for details http://jardesign.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1670

-------HOW TO INSTALL--------------------------------->
You can find Instruction inside .zip Please Read and Follow it!

-------HOW TO USE / Example flight ------------------------>
example flight https://youtu.be/-PHKHSJLr08?t=1s

-------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).
Download link for FMCar ver 2.4r1 MAC OS / Windows - http://jardesign.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1633

If you have CTD (with Windows), please post here files from X-Plane folder
1. log.txt
2. x-life.dmp
Damp file include memory / functions stack dump what can understand as where from problem come. In ideal situation - what string in c++ code have error.
If the same happen on MAC, please post mac crash report and log.txt

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

Re: X-Life public beta-6, 7, 8, 9 (Win & Mac)

Hi !

I could not get it working with my first modified airport.

Also the traffic is working well, FMCar is working, I got the Message
"airport is not x-life compatible".

What's missing here ?  tested  Beta5 + Beta6, same behaviour (screenshots Beta5)

Are you have EDNY.dat at /Airports/ folder?

EDNY.dat is a copy of apt.dat

Re: X-Life public beta-6, 7, 8, 9 (Win & Mac)

Предложение|Feature Request (sorry for russian, it's hard to me explain that in english)

Как уже раньше предлагал, очень хорошо было бы и для проекта и для меня как пользователя приблизить траффик к реальности, а именно:

1. Ограничить список авиакомпаний работающих в конкретном аэропорту
    Вариант реализации: взять X-CSL библиотеку моделей самолетов (модели используются в IVAO, разрабатываются парнями с X-Airways, бесплатна), в этой библиотеке модели структурированный по моделям самолетов и операторам. Далее в файлы настройки аэропорта X-Life (например для Минска - UMMS.txt) прописать доступных операторов. При генерации трафика использовать эти модели с соотв. операторам ливреями. Таким же образом можно прописать самолеты для операторов (например для Белавиа это 737, Этихад - 320 и т.д.)

2. Расписание полетов, заранее предопределенные операторы, самолеты, маршруты.
    Этот пункт в большей части устраняет некоторые разногласия из 1ого пункта. Для малой авиации не имеет смысла.

Блок схема:
Если есть расписание для аэропорта - используем его (*), для малой авиации, военных и вертолетов - пропускаем;
Если есть список операторов с самолетами - *;
Если есть просто список операторов - *;
Если ничего подобного нет или нет описанных выше моделей - использовать текущий алгоритм.

Евгений JAR, как вы на такое смотрите?

Re: X-Life public beta-6, 7, 8, 9 (Win & Mac)

Я конечно смотрел X-Airways библиотеки, там есть одна особенность - "ноль" оси Z не на кончике носа самолета - это требует расчета индивидуального смещения, что сильно усложняет все геометрические расчеты. Поэтому я не стал с ней (пока) заморачиваться. Начал я с OpenSceneryX, она более-менее подходит и от нах есть "добро" на использование.

По рассписаниям и авиакомпаниям - да, это future task.

Sorry for Russian lang!

EDNY.dat is a copy of apt.dat

Do I really need this ?? why ?? I have the apt.dat in "custom_scenery\EDNY\", and
x-life and FMCar will find and use this file. I'm 100% sure about that, because if I change the ATC Routes and
export apt.dat in scenery folder, I can see the changes I've made.


the only problem is pressing the "GENERATE" button in "flight plan" will generate an
"dep airport not x-life compatible" instead of a flight plan.

X-Life traffic itself is working. Planes flying, taxying and so on.

But I will try in the eavening to copy apt.dat to EDNY.dat in "X-life/Airports" folder.

best regards,

Really nor, but for this development stage it is a way to guarantee what airport is really ready. Else, plugin should check apt.dat to determinate if all needed data present inside. I will fix this for next stage.

After click Read License a webpage with text should be open with your www browser. After this, AGREE button should appear near READ button. Is not it?

To fix the problem i've reboot the pc and set explorer as default browser (usualy uswe chrome), now i've problem with serial, because the system not accept my email, i use the same used in all past activations, i've tried, however, th mail used here for register in forum but same error

Re: X-Life public beta-6, 7, 8, 9 (Win & Mac)

Howdy,
I had the same problem. It was that I was using the beta xplane 45. So, I tried it with normal release up to date xplane and no problems.
What happens is when you start xplane and you are finally in your ac, the xlife window pops up. Click the READ ME, your browser should open up. Give it a read and then quit your browser which gives you back xplane. There should be additional click spots now that say agree or no agree. Click agree if ya want and presto, your serial number should be entered next and the rest is history. 
I hope this solved it for you.Good luck!
