[ Closed ] X-Life ver 1.0 (rc1, r1, ++) (Page 13 of 28)

My review so far for X-Life is very positive. After doing several flights some with ATC some without I will just mention a few things. Firstly make sure you have your traffic density and gate sliders set to or close to the middle before you start X-Life traffic on. I was trying to max them out thinking I would get more traffic and that was the reason I did not see traffic activity. If you have 140 gates at an airport, it will report around 50 or below as busy also you will not see 140 planes waiting at the gates. When you start the traffic use the gate editor to set what gates will be in use, wingspan categories, taxi/pushback situation, stand, gate, cargo, hanger then save that profile so you can use it the next time for that airport. I have been able to use several "unverified" airports by making .dat files in WED and using my own airport scenery that I have downloaded from the Gateway which makes flying more fun. I'm hoping in the future one will be able to file flight plans to and from "unverified" airports because as of now this can't be done (or can it?) The ATC is very easy to use. I have done a few ATC flights, but suggest the following 1. The ability to request different altitudes during flight. 2. The choice of ILS/VOR approaches and runways (can you do this now?) FSX gave you those options and adds to realism. Ground traffic tends to freeze at times when waiting for planes that aren't even a factor. For instance why should all the traffic around a runway freeze when a plane is so far away? A plane at the opposite end of a runway from a plane landing doesn't have to wait does it? Also it would be great if you could fly to and from an airport, have traffic at the destination airport without having to file a flight plan. Sometimes you don't have time for a totally structured flight and would just like to take off. Another nice option would be able to set or change a flight plan during a flight. That is realism. Sometimes planes have to divert to other airports because of weather, fuel, or mechanical trouble. All in all I like X-Life and have really enjoyed using it! I know it's in the early stages of development and sure the best is yet to come. Hats off to JAR and crew!

Im flying into ESSA and x-life wants me to land runway 08 but runway 08 does not exist on the FMC for ESSA?

Hello,

is there some way, how to limit certain aircraft sizes on certain runways? Something like Gates Editor where we could say "this runway is only for aircrafts up to xyz wingspan" or so. Or simply something else which could help to prevent things like "look, there is an A320 taking off on grass runway" etc.

Thanks.

Long answer,
Everyone has stopped sending in there log.txt and there box.txt on some of the posts this is how the issues get fixed weather you think it is necessary or not JAR see issues that you and others are not aware of and he fixes bugs that you do not see by US posting the log.txt,dump.txt and bbxbox.txt if it is a JAR aircraft. now we do have new testers here so, I have to keep posting this it is not up for debate because this is how the X-Life plugin has become, a good plugin by everyone sending the data in so, JAR can see all the data then work on the debugging from there.
Thank-you so, much for your help.

We wait 10.50 where (i hope) this parameter (wingspan category A-F) will be implemented in apt.dat format.

seems like we will use "BlueBell XL" traffic objects pack soon. I am work on code for version 1.1
