[ Closed ] X-Life ver 4 for X-Plane 11 (Page 2 of 24)

Glew32dll works version 4 running fine using XP 11.21 Windows 10. Frames rates are Ok around 30 on the ground 45 in the air which usual for me. Thanks for the fix JAR! Will keep testing

Yesterday i was flying to Miami-KMIA and X-Life ATC told me to go around approaching runway 25L, No problem, i did that, then coming back to the same runway X-Life ATC told me again to go around. Then i notice an AI Aircraft on runway got stuck. It will be grate if you can request a different runway after going around. Like this when flying to airports witch are not compatible with X-Life but they do show on the Map as a compatible airport will avoid us not completing the flight by going back to the same runway.

I did contact a couple of developers and they all told me the same thing:

Quote: I don't personally use X-Life, but feel free to share your files with other users.

Here is the picture from X-Life Airport Editor of the XMIA Version 2 HD and the traffic is set all wrong. That why the aircraft are getting stuck on runways or taxi way.  It is set for World Traffic not for X Life but when loading the airport X-Life download the .dat and .txt file automatically from your server and they are not set correctly.

Now i have to fix this issues before i can fly to KMIA. After flying for 2 hours and not being able to land, its kind of frustrating.
I will share the correct file in couple of days.
Thanks

The new v4 is looking very good, one question, is the a way of getting a hot key to bring up the X-Life panel.

Using version 4 also at KMIA I saw a plane land come to a stop and do a strange rapid back and forth motion for about 15 seconds then it rapidly taxied off the runway and this is using the approved KMIA dat included. Will try to post a screen shot if it happens again

Hello Jar, I may not have made myself clear, when I was asking for a hot key to see the X-Life panel before it's loaded. I would like to see the X-Life panel using a hot key, rather than using the plugins drop down at the top of the XP screen.

First test ..

popup window, moveable to 2nd window  : great

Loaded at LOWK and watched 
1 arrival 28R in air .. other departure aircraft taxi via 10L to 28R ... the arrival flys through the ground to negative altitude because runway is full : not so great

next time same scenario and the arrival goes around

X-Life 4 it is good, i had no issues regarding the traffic.
I do have a couple of requests/comments:

I think the ATC window is a little to big, in special for the ones who has only one monitor. The option of detaching the ATC windows and move it to a second screen it is good. When trying a flight i had the ATC window on the bottom of my screen as you can see on the picture

After take off i realized it is not a good spot to have that. All  the instruments where covered by the ATC window and did not see how to fly.
I moved it to the right up corner of my screen. It is a little better, but when the ATC screen comes on it covers more than half of my screen. As you can see in this picture

I tried to change the resolution on my monitors thinking is just my settings but it turns out it is the same.

One more think, i notice the text on the ATC window it is not clear it seams like it has very low resolution.

Next i want to ask 2 questions:

Is it possible to show all the X-Life users on the Radar and in steed of AI Aircraft to be actually real users flying, taking off and landing to the Airports, like Vatsim but offline?

Second question will be related to Airport Editor

Is it possible to have the ATC voice say Apron in steed of spelling every single letter?
Or to have an option when typing a word to use  The Phonetic Alphabet or a phrase/word?

Recently i was doing traffic for KMIA and notice on the Legend of the airport diagram the word Spot 1, 2, 3, etc

This is how they look, all the number in a circle are Spot and they are taxi line

Naming Spot the taxi line will spell the letter and it doesn't sound good. Will be nice if we can chose or add them to the plugin as words.

Thanks

You can resize Xlife window. Go with pointer over window and resize with mouse wheel. For me works wery well.

I have a problem with entering the flight plan with the new version: I can not enter numbers. I am on IMac

Hello everyone

Xlife version 4 is really good. However, this version causes performance problems in normal window mode and VR mode. From 30 fps to 4 fps. Can you fix these problems in for the future.?

Can you post a screen shot for us? It's possible the destination airports are not verified or that you do not have .apt data files for your destination airports. What airports are you trying to use?

I can confirm that in VR, just opening the Xlife4 window drops the frames to half (from 45 to 22).
Closing the Xlife window brings the FPS back up to 45 FPS. (VR - Oculus Rift).
Look at this video I made of it:
