Re: X-Life ver 1.1 (r1, ++)

No crashes for me lately using the latest X plane 10.50r2 and the latest X Life plugin. Have flown several flights mostly KLAX TO KSEA and back using the plug in ATC. Make sure you have other traffic plugins removed so there are no conflicts using resources. If you are experiencing system crashes try removing plugins one by one to isolate the problem. Will there be anymore developments for X-Life? Seems pretty quiet lately. Happy flying.

Hi all,

I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue that having with XL.  I'm running XPlane and XLife on a Macbook Pro 2.3GHz i7, 16G of ram, and 2G Intel Iris Pro graphics card.
Using Sony 32" hdmi 60Hz TV as external monitor.

I have very few low end plugins like Xpassanger, Ground Handling, TugMaster running in the background.  My airport scenery is the freeware I got from Xlife compatibility map. No HD mash.

Flying the CRJ200 and IXEG 737 Classic.

Issue: 90+% of the time XLife crashes XPlane when I use XLife ATC.  XLife traffic by itself has no issues, no FPS lose, works great 100% of the time. 
The moment I request clearance from ATC, it usually crashes.  When it does not and I continue playing, there is a 50/50 chance that it will crash when I call TOD.
Every log.txt file after a crash states "XPlane crashed due to XLife".

Tried:
Narrowed it down to the ATC.  Again, traffic (ground and air, with or without bluebell work 100% without ever crashing).
Removed ALLl plusgins one by one.  Still crashes
Minimized rendering. Still crashes

Removed XLife but kept all other plugins with high rendering.  No issues, no crash.

Contacted XLife, great support but I think they are starting to run out of things to try as well.

So, has anyone heard or seen this issue?  Maybe my Macbook Pro is not powerful enough? Any thoughts or ideas of things to try next?

Thanks

Good day,
IXEG might be the issue please try another aircraft first before making any other changes.
If it works then you found the issue also attach a log txt. I've been in the VA hospital and MIA so I'm back and will be working from a iOS platform for a while until I can move my computer to the west coast ...

Re: X-Life ver 1.1 (r1, ++)

Try removing the EasyATC plugin because there could be a conflict between the two. Also there seems to be an issue with the Blue Bell Packs. Make sure the Packs are fully extracted to the Custom Data Folder. There should be the Bluebell XL folder in the Custom data folder, click on that to open it, you should then see the Custom, PackA, PackB, PackG, PackJ, and PackP folders. You can also try removing the Blue Bell pack folder and running X-Life without it to see if that is the issue.

Re: X-Life ver 1.1 (r1, ++)

Fixed this by reinstalling OpenScenery.  Awesome product.  Looking forward to more airports having this function attached to them.  This should be part of any new update for Xplane.  Fabulous!  Flew around SFO and the Bay area with the free scenery you can find as well as the ship traffic.  Stunning to say the least.  I am now deleting every record of Prepar3d off my computer.  Huge WASTE of money buying any Microsoft product.  Xplane and its talented group of developers are simply the most talented folks in the sim world.  Thanks JAR Design...now on to download your stunning 320 NEO as I'm a former airline pilot.  Cannot wait.

Cool glad you could fix the problem! Let us/me know how you like the Neo 320 I usually fly the freeware A 380 which is fun to fly and easy to maneuver for a big plane. Interesting to hear your input since you were an airline pilot who did you fly for? I agree flying on the west coast has great scenery and is a much greater test of flying skills in X Plane a favorite of mine is KLAX to KSLC. If it's overcast at KSLC you have you hands full making the approach and descent over the mountains, must trust your flight plan the vectors and your instruments! X Life is a great product which adds a lot of realism, hoping there will be further improvements!

Re: X-Life ver 1.1 (r1, ++)

Hello,

i have an issue with transferring flight plan from FMS to XL via "Import from aircraft's FMS" function - XL says "Aircraft not support this function".

Aicraft is x737 from EADT (latest v5) with x737FMC from Javier Cortez (also latest version). I didn't try default FMC and also what is strange a 124thATC plugin which i used before had no problems with importing flight plan from FMS.

My actual workaround is to put flight plan manually also in /X-life/Flight Plans folder and then import it in XL Flight plan window, it works, but it would be nice if "import from FMS" was working with this aircraft with this FMC wink.

XP 10.45
XL 1.1r4

Otherwise XL with ATC feels really good, can't gen enough of it, thanks for such nice product smile

Thank you for any help.

Hello all! Was a busy last 2 weeks, sorry. So, we just post release 4 of ver 1.1

As you know may be, NOAA weather servers change metar data internet location - new r4 take this in account. If you use 1.1 r1..r3, you need take new .xpl files only.

Distributive is here: http://www.jardesign.org/x-life/download/xlife.zip


Good day,
also, if you run a Mac this is posted ...

Posted in Technical Support - Cubby's Corner
As most people know, the NOAA web server that provides X-Plane with its real-time weather has been shut down, and the data moved to a new server. X-Plane 10.50 will fixed this issue, but if you're still using an older version, you're stuck.

For Mac users, here's a short Applescript that addresses the problem. Save this script as an application, and you have a quick way to grab the current weather data.

Copy and paste into Script Editor, and change the file paths for the Download folder and X-Plane folder to match your own machine

-- Get the current hour in 24 hour format
tell (current date) to set Now to (its hours as string) & ":" & (its minutes as string) & ":" & its seconds as string

-- Add a leading zero if necessary
if (character 1 of Now) is not "1" then set Now to "0" & Now

-- Grab the first two digits as the hour
set Hour to characters 1 thru 2 of Now as text

-- Set the download URL and the location of the file
-- These paths should be modified to match the locations on your own machine
set WeatherURL to "http://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observat … ar/cycles/" & Hour & "Z.TXT"
set DownloadPath to "/Users/jimroyal/Downloads/METAR.rwx"
set XplaneMETAR to "/Applications/X-Plane\\ 9/METAR.rwx"

-- Download the weather file
do shell script "curl -L " & WeatherURL & " -o " & DownloadPath

-- Move the weather fle to the X-Plane folder
do shell script "mv " & DownloadPath & " " & XplaneMETAR

For this flight I installed again FM car plugin.  I think that this plugin is responsible for this crash and
possibly for the 2 crashes in the past. (Because of that I took the FM from the plugin folder
and had no crash any more...)

Has someone same problem with FM car?

Re: X-Life ver 1.1 (r1, ++)

Hello,
is it please possible to disable the auto-minimize function of the ATC Panel into that little sidebar ? The thing is that I have Xplane on three 27" screens and the panel keeps moving waaay left to the last monitor where I can barely see it. I'd like to just pin it where I like it during takeoff and landings and minimize it only during cruise. If this is not possible then it would be nice if such "pin" function was added. Thanks.

Re: X-Life ver 1.1 (r1, ++)

Hi,

First off, I love all the JAR products that I've purchases (a bunch of them), and really enjoy X-Life in 10.50.

However, I have a really basic question on the air traffic portion of X-Life (I don't use it for ATC). 

I assumed, when flying between two JAR XL approved airports, that I'd see and interact with aircraft while on approach to the destination airport, and would do so even if I didn't file a flight-plan (I have deluxe but not for flight planning and ATC)

So for example, during a flight this evening, I had good aircraft density at the departure airport, KILM, but there was no populated traffic around KATL when I arrived in the area.  Do I have to toggle the traffic off/then on again to get KATL to load while I'm in the air?  Is there a way to do that when I'm 60 miles out, to make sure there is traffic in the area when I arrive?

Why is there no traffic populating when I approach a supported destination airport?

Thanks

Bill

with the same configuration (3 screens) the ability to keep the popup to open ATC would be more comfortable.
I do not know much but it should not be very difficult to cancel the disappearance of this screen

Hi, thanks for your note.  Could you tell me, exactly what you mean about ATC routes being installed? Are these routes we can design, add?

I'm not sure I understand "ATC routes".  (I have built ATC taxi-ground routes for an airport that work in XL...just not sure what you mean by ATC Routes.

That is--if I file a flightplan using the ATC functions--does that "build" the routes in question?

Thanks

Hi,
Yes, I mean the ATC Taxi Routes as defined by WED and that we store in the ICAO.dat file for using and sharing in XL (Theoretically can can also reside in the apt.dat file for the respective airport and still work but that's more difficult to share for copyright reasons).
I don't have to file a flight plan to get traffic on both ends of a flight.
If you share a log.txt and the .dat files from the origin and destination airports we can have a closer look to find out any issues.

Re: X-Life ver 1.1 (r1, ++)

How to Request a New Feature?

Hi, I'd love the ability to tell XL which specific airport I'd like to activate, so that, when coming in-bound to that airport (assuming it's got the needed dat/text files), it would have planes already flying--making the approach more interesting.

At this point, even when using two approved XL airports, I always arrive to an empty airport.

Thoughts?

Thanks
