I think X-Life is a great new plugin and I hope it will develop further! I am already impressed by how the beta works right now!
I have installed X-Life on XP10.42 and XP10.45r2 and both seem to work. I have a couple of questions / remarks:
- I received the error "impossible to create ground route". After a lot of trial and error I discovered that was solved by reversing the part of the atc route where the ramp start was placed (switch from and to node). It was hard to find + the layout was valid according to WED. Is it possible that X-Life is too strict when dealing with this?
- When AI planes land they always seems to taxi to the end of the runway even if there are exits halfway (with atc routes of course). Is this a limitation of X-Life or is something wrong with my atc layout?
- When X-Life starts there are 3 lines indicating traffic: 2 Arriving (Arr) and 1 Departure (Dep) at my airport. The departure never happens -> suddenly this line is gone (so 1 have 1 blank line on the list: the 2 Arr lines are still there). The plane just sits on the ramp. The arrivals are executed: status Fly etc. What happens here?
- Is there a separate log file of X-Life to check what decisions are made or what errors are found? I can't find much info in the log file of X-Plane + you can only read the full log after closing XP.
- I read in the forum that ATC in combination with mountains is not functional (which I fully understand). You are probably aware of this but there is information available about terrain height: Digital Elevation Model files (DEM) which are freely available on the internet. But even then it is a complex issue :-)
Hope this helps! Keep up the good work!
Cheers,
Matthijs
