Hi Mr. JAR, since I've been on beta team for xlife since day one, and you never asked for any money for the deluxe, I felt obliged to buy it anyway as a way to say "thanks", and since it's probably remote that you'd ever get to LSZH for my dinner offer to you wink
Thanks again for a GREAT tool for xplane!

Thanks, any kind of support support is need. Thank you!

Hello,

One question: Why X-Life does not utilize the 1204 parameter of apt.dat of ATC taxi routes indicating hold short points, but instead requires hold short point to be one line segment away from the runway? It makes possible to put hold short points further away from runway, which is often necessary. It can also limit the hold short for arrivals or departures only if required.

For example:
1202 41 40 twoway taxiway A
1204 departure 03,21
1204 arrival 03,21

Means that the line segment between points 41&40 denotes a "restricted" area which you can't enter before the tower gives you permission for it (runway 03/21 is free).

I don't understand what is the gain of your purpose?!....

My purpose is to avoid re-inventing the wheel. When there is already a way to denote the hold short point, why do it differently? Using the standard way would reduce the amount of  work patching the existing airport routes.

I've done considerable amount of work in patching the routes to work well with FMcar in the past, following the WED guides on how to make ATC taxiroutes, now X-Life sets new rules and I have to start all over again...

-J

That simple to understand. XL can read all apt.dat lines and will do this if you just take apt.dat, rename it to XXXX.dat and put to Airports folder. But a problem what that info in common case - newer was tested with any of plugins and newer was build to work with some plugins. 99% it is just abstract lines.

Thinking about what could be one of the next steps of development, I got an idea about making the approach much more exciting and precise.

At the moment situation, flying on approach, I open often the RADAR screen to see if there are some other AI aircrafts on same route to land on same runway. Then I enhance or reduce aircraft speed according to my estimation about distance to the aircraft ahead and time until exiting runway. This is very unprofessional.

Instead it will be efficient to get ATC warning/advice like : traffic ahead xxxx kn at distance xxxx nm, so the pilot can stay at safe distance during landing.

Only sometimes and in the last minutes before landing we can see on PFD screen the diamond of the aircraft ahead and sometimes in the horizon its  position in the sky with only its FL indication. I would like to discuss this idea to see if there are some regulation that we can implement in a simple manner into ATC, so we can handle our approach according to the incoming information. This can avoid us from GA, saving time/fuel costs and make out landing under more near real....

(Going now to test the latest X-Life 1.6b version)


The development plan for complicated system like XL based not on list of ideas, but mostly on list of code blocks what should be created for next stage. Need understand code structure to make next step as a new "brick" what bring new feature right now and a set of new bricks will bring new quality. So, I have a lot of ideas and understand "what should be improved list" in my head is long. But nest step always depend of harmony code development.

Hi All,
Been doing a little testing of the beta.
Flying from EGCC to EGLL at FL190.
I do not know if it is just this flight but the change over on ATC from APP to CTR was at TOC, FL190.
Would it not be better to change from APP to CTR passing FL100 and set QNH to standard 1013.
Also is their any way to set which airlines are used or is it just random.
Tom.


This time - random. Sure, sooner or later i will add shedule features.

Also, we need rework system of passing Departure-Center1-Center2-...CenterN--Arrival. I feel I stiil need a list of European and USA control centers to do this.

And important: I want say THANK YOU, cause "Bluebell XL" pack is a great improvement for X-Life. I think what users really glad with it.

Good evening.
Faced here with what the TU-154 Felis prompt delivery - "Pilot: SOCHI Delivery ,JAR123, Stand T29, T154, with information Charlie, QNH1014, request clearance" and in response get "ATC: JAR123, SOCHI Delivery, Wrong QNH, set 1007". IN ATIS QNH1008. The altimeters were set at QFE pressure and QNH and the situation has not changed. Still in my query QNH 1014. The log file is applied.

Добрый вечер. Столкнулся вот с чем, ТУ-154 Фелис запрашиваю Delivery- "Pilot: SOCHI Delivery ,JAR123, Stand T29, T154, with information Charlie, QNH1014, request clearance", а в ответ получаю "ATC: JAR123, SOCHI Delivery, Wrong QNH, set 1007". В ATIS QNH1008. На высотомерах выставлял давление и по QFE and QNH ситуация не меняется. Все равно в моем запросе QNH 1014. Лог файл прикладываю.

В запрос плагин ставит давление из стандартной датарефы альтиметра самолета. Просит поставить - давление с сервера реальной погоды. Возможно что 154 не использует стандартную датарефу - это можно проверить - звоните на скайп j.a.romanov - проверим как там обстоят дела. Если что - и с Андреем переговорим сразу.

We may have a  language barrier here. Two non-english people communicating with a foreign language for both. smile (although we are neighbours!)

But I do understand that most of the existing taxiroutes are really badly made. It has not been an important thing for scenery makers because the default X-Plane ATC has been so bad anyway.
But still, the ATC taxi route specification has a clear definition for hold short points. From a programmer's point of view, it's very clear. Why not use it?

I had the same issue until I figured what's going on. Use the top BARO that's part of the MCP (just left of the COURSE knob). The BARO in the center is the standby (IFSD). ATC uses the main.

Whoops, I'm such an idiot. This has made my weekend worth flying now, thanks man.

Good day,
what is running in 32bit ? this need to be changed so, it is not 32 but 64bit  ... since, most of the plugins are running 64 /32 instead of 32/64 bit or i would try to re-download the KMIA with a fresh copy if you have not already done so maybe a file is corrupt.
Also check to see that your C++ is up to date with the 10xx windows and all the other windows up-dates that could cause an issue,
as the auto-update might have missed one or two up-dates ...

Question to JAR and pilots/experts: I forgot for what purpose I need the Gizmo64.plugin. It lies a long time in my plugin folder and maybe it is not necessary any more...... ? (needed together with FlyWithLua ?..)
