Re: X-Life ver 2.0 R1, R2, R3, R4, R5
Where or how can i see what version i have right now ?
Re: X-Life ver 2.0 R1, R2, R3, R4, R5
Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. I've installed the free version to try it out but I'm only getting the grey aircraft models and no painted liveries. I've got the bluebell files installed. What do I need to get things working correctly?

I am still using X-Plane 10.51. Using the new Xlife v2.0 r1 I tried to build an xlf file for tdg's ENGM for X-Plane version 10. http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/fi … o-airport/ . When I opened up Airport Editor the lines, gates and runway information is from the Xlife approved version of ENGM. I was not able to see the lines, gates and runway information provided by tdg's version of ENGM. When I remove the ENGM dat and txt file they get reloaded again. I then disconnected the Ethernet cable and removed the default ENGM dat and txt files. Then when I opened up Airport editor I could see the lines, gates and runway information provided by tdg's version of ENGM. I tried clicking on the big RED question marks as instructed on the screen. Nothing happen. I then decided to save the lines, gates and runway information as a xlf file. Upon hitting the save button "CTD". Attached are the two requested logs. By the way, it would be easier to draw the lines if we could see the airport from above.
I hope my observations help you as we continue to refine Xlife.

JAR,
I found the following 4 line errors in the attached xlf file generated by Xlife for tdg's ENGM airport. This file is located in post number 23.

If you have ? you need select and check this element. Possible issues was published at first post of this topic:
- if two points very close but not connect
- if not connected end of the line not have gate/stand
- if gate too far from nearest taxiline point
- if there is no holdshort marked lines exist between runway and taxiways
Sure, if you have ? over Gate/Stand - need check all parameters of this gate.
Sure, i think about manual, but i need some experience of expected troubles to prepare this doc. This need a little more time.

Re: X-Life ver 2.0 R1, R2, R3, R4, R5
If KLGA is a verified airport to use for X-Life and included with airports why so many ?????? Images are from what was included in latest version 2 rc1. At least now we have another way to make edits and corrections with airport editor and WED if we choose. Thanks JAR

Re: X-Life ver 2.0 R1, R2, R3, R4, R5
OK I'm working on a large airport, but the gate editor is not working properly. When I click to add gate, it comes up with green text, but no yellow B plane, dark blue C plane, light blue D plane etc. This makes editing very difficult, and the heading of the gate I'm looking at now is -2147483648, which is obviously wrong. When saving as a .xlf file, it says that there is a ? somewhere, but this gate bug means the ? isn't visible either.
Edit: The ?s has re-appeared, but creating gates is still a problem.

Hi,
Concerning the center radar control (ATC), how does it works exactly ?
Because I noticed at times ATC ask me to contact some center after the FIR "border" (from jeppesen charts for example) and at time before (100 NM before) : between FIR ROSTOV and tsbili
Moreover I wondering, in real life, what is asking Control radar to pilot ?)
thanks a lot for all this beautiful work

You can create a top down view with standard Xplane functions:
Select View - Change (external) - Circle
Press the RIGHT mouse button, keep it pressed an move the mouse down until you have a top down view
Press CTRL and DOWN key (this refers to Xplane command "Move view backward fast") together several times to zoom out
Press CTRL and UP key (this refers to Xplane command "Move view forward fast") together several times to zoom in.
I tried the above direction to view the airport lay out from an aerial view. I was able to get an aerial view of my aircraft. However I was not able to get zooming out or in with CTRL plus Page DOWN or UP keys. I was able to zoom in and out with the "+" and "-" keys. When zooming out, I was still over my aircraft. An aerial view of the whole airport could not be obtain with my aircraft on the ground.

Press C to enter free camera. Press F to look down. Press Shift + comma to move out. Press + to zoom in. Use arrow keys to move around. That's how to get an aerial view.
Re: X-Life ver 2.0 R1, R2, R3, R4, R5
Hi, I had a crash to desktop when trying to fly from Edinburgh ( EGPH ). I'm running X-Plane 11.02r2 with X-Life v2rc1. The scenery is EGPH for XP 11 by tdg with the the latest Navigraph data set 1707.
It crashes before loading on startup, so far it's not happening at other airports. The Log.txt states that X-Life is causing the crash.
As far as I remember it didn't happen before X-Life v2rc1 with the same scenery.
I'm wondering if anybody else has had the same problem, or could try the same flight.
Re: X-Life ver 2.0 R1, R2, R3, R4, R5
Further to my last post (42) it also CTD with the default scenery for EGPH as I removed the tdg scenery add-on. So it must be an problem within X-Life.

Re: X-Life ver 2.0 R1, R2, R3, R4, R5
Hi JAR, re the crashing problem there's nothing to see. As soon as you press the X-Life start in the side toolbar nothing happens, then the Mac rainbow wheel comes up and starts rotating. After after a few seconds it crashes X-Plane to desktop.
As I say it's only EGPH that this problem occurs. I've tried with default XP scenery and with the addon scenery.
