I was not with ATC. Flight from LLBG, currently WIP, fine tuning routes and stands

Previous flight from BKPR to LLBG went fine. Nice transitions between FIRs and TOD announcing.

Nice changing, but still have trouble with make flight plan from LJLJ to LOWW and same form LOWW to LJLJ. I use last aerosoft ariac cycle. On start x-life show me that this cycle is installed. When i generate plan from LJLJ to LOWW , plan is so long, that A320 is out of range return to LJLJ generated plan is LOWW STAR LJLJ and atc not accepted this plans.

Why ?

Re: X-Life ver 1.3

I get the "X-Plane is totally out of memory" everytime I activate it with the license, it's working with the free version, I don't get it.

Re: X-Life ver 1.3

1. How do I fresh this nav cycle thingy? Is this mandatory?  This topic is really not covered here.
What the heck does this text mean? What should you do there? I shall do Aerosoft/Navigraph and so on?! HUH WHAT?!
"
UPDATE YOU NAV DATA WITH FRESH CYCLE (if needed)
X-Life use NavData (old) cycle by Aerosoft from own /navdata/ subfolder
or from ../X-PLANE/Custom Data/GNS430/navdata/ folder if exist
If you need update your cycle, please use Aerosoft/Navigraph
- “JARDesign a320/330 Native format” or (the same in fact)
and put new cycle to ../X-PLANE/Custom Data/GNS430/navdata/ folder
"


2. Another problem:

What is causing this, another aircraft is pushing it until it gets really close to the runway then it disappears leaving the correct aircraft
This is at takeoff, there is a 737 in the smoke

I have also this problem.

Re: X-Life ver 1.3

Hi,
something is awfully wrong. I´m getting over 60 FPS, but when I active the X-Life plugin, it cuts the framerate to 25-30  8-/ .
I´ve tried different airports and also different planes.  The same effect happens. This even happens, when the plugin is loaded, but traffic is not turned on.
I´m using the latest Xplane beta and also our latest version 1.3.

Re: X-Life ver 1.3

Can you please explain why X-Life ins't working when I am at airport Gibraltar. The ICAO code for that airport is LXGB, but X-Life keeps telling me that it is the wrong ICAO code. XP 11 does recognize this airport on this ICAO code. It has been like this in version 1.2 and also in 1.3.
I know it is a not supported airport, but there are more airports like that and X-Life is working normally.

By the way, keep up the good work mr. Romanov. I like your new version, this is a welcome addition to ATC.

Do you have created a LXGB.dat file with taxiroutes and a LXGB.txt with stand/gate information and put it in the Airports directory of X-Life? If not you can't use X-Life there. If you can use it on other airports without that files,  then it seems that X-Life is getting these informations from the airport file itself.

Re: X-Life ver 1.3

Very strange .. I´m using xEnviro - and X-life tells me to use real weather or to ignore and start traffic. When I active traffic, the fps drops down to half .

I use xEnviro and X-Life, real weather works just ignore the warning. Have a i5-4690k and a gtx 1070 no fps drop with both full settings.

Re: X-Life ver 1.3

Some guy on another forum solved the problem for me. I´ve never had any problems with "threaded optimization" - on or off had no effect - so I left it on. And that caused the massive drop of fps when using x-life!

So, guys - if you have any strange fps problems don´t (always) blame the poor developer ;-) . I´m very glad that I got it working now!
Best regards,
Michael

Useful comment, thanks! Sure, for X-Life I use multithread coding a lot, cause one core calculation cant proceed tons of info, but multithreading - yes.

I unistalled xEnviro for this issue... If I ignore the warning, X-Life works, but  the ATIS information is not valid anymore, altimeter settings are wrong.

Re: X-Life ver 1.3

Hello J.A.,

I have just a short question:

On startup of X-Life I sometimes get a popup telling me that additional airports are now usable for X-Life.

Do I need to re-download another release of X-Life in order to get the definitions for those additional airports or will X-Life do this automatically when I load this airport in X-Plane?

All X-Life airports what was verify by JARDesign are always uploader to our server and X-Life download it in auto mode. User should do nothing.
