Have you seen my last posts ? Is this fix working for you ?

Regards,

No, sorry.  Xlife 4 completly kills the FPS in Rift VR so it is impossible to use Xlife in VR right now.

Re: X-Life ver 4 for X-Plane 11

My frame rates still drop into the 20's and below with this new build and there is lots of stuttering of frames making the sim unusable. When I disable X-Life my FPS immediately returns to 50 and above. I'm running XPlane 11.30 on a PC 4.0 ghz  32 RAM NVidia 970 Newest X-Life version 090219  Not using VR

Re: X-Life ver 4 for X-Plane 11

I still have an issue with the "disappearing" ATC panel. I am starting to think that this is not a random event.

If I am flying to EHAM, when I report Top of Descent, the ATC panel slides off my screen and is not recoverable. This happens EVERY time.

Does anyone else have the problem at a particular arrival airport?

Same issue on my side.
Without active X Life I have between 40-60 FPS. As soon as I activate X Life the frames go down to 15-20 fps.

And somehow I also expcect sound issues.
I can't hear most of the ATC communication although all volume settings are set to highest option.

Re: X-Life ver 4 for X-Plane 11

Hi J.A.Romanov a suggestion on the next update can be add the communication emergency landing, and varie other request that can be done during the flight. Will be nice.

Thanls

Re: X-Life ver 4 for X-Plane 11

About framerate..
If you use Nvidia, you need try to set Off Multithreaded optimisation at Nvidia control panel.

About sound..
Need check is your X-Plane ATC sound work at all, cause X-Life just use default X-Plane text-to-speech function. Sure, ATC volume should be set non-zero

Please read a FAQ before you post a bug http://support.jardesign.org

Turning off Threaded-Optimisation fixed the FPS drops for me. Just had a test flight and FPS were between 40-60 FPS.
My sound issue also seems to be gone after a quick re-install of the plugin.
Thanks a lot!

Just encountered another issue while flying from LFMN -> EDDH

http://jardesign.org/forum/img/m/8169/t/p1d5jh3mic1e9f119f1pgv1bk6ipd3.png

As you can see, ATC told me to decent to FL120 when I was ready for decend.
When I contacted Approach, X-Life tells ATC I'm decending to FL40 (whats wrong).

Nothing wrong. The Center cleared you to FL120 and then Approach cleared you through to FL40 (which the Center cannot do).

Thats basically true, but if you look into the sequence, you may see, that my first contact to approach already contains FL40,
which I can't know at that point because my last order was FL120 from Center.
So I cannot now about FL40 before contacting Approach.

I mean its no critical issue, I was just wondering about.

Re: X-Life ver 4 for X-Plane 11

Are there no Way to reset the atc so that a new flightplan Can be made/filed after landing at airport?
Or do i have to restart the game every time?

288

Re: X-Life ver 4 for X-Plane 11

Ok, I NEED HELP!

1. the ATC ask for me to uso LIXEP1 SID to leave SBGL using the rw15, but the lixep1 its not for this rw.
2. on other flight, http://prntscr.com/mz90bb, what should i do? even putting manually on radio, nothing happens! so i cannot approach anywhere.
3. if i click on the TOWER icon, the game suddenly crashes.

I think you should be able to put in a new flight plan or to disable and re-enable the plugin / traffic in the plugins UI with the power-icon. I already had two flights in a row like that.


A few days ago I encountered a crash at that point, I asked for another Runway for takeoff - after I got the clearance.
I got clearance for EDDF RWY25R, and I asked for 25C . As soon as I clicked the button, the game crashed.
Unfortunately there was no info in the logs about the crash and also no x-life dump file :-/

if i put in another flight plan by simply using the turn off power button i am able to make a new flight plan, but the atc still refers to the starting airport from the trip before, i have not however tried turning it off and then disabled and reenabled via plugins ui, will try that the next time smile..

thx for the anwer

Only the red square part of the voice comes out.
Does the rest of the section have no ATC voice?
What is the problem?

Hallo, i have the same Problem with the ATC. After the call sign the Madam don't talk with me!

Re: X-Life ver 4 for X-Plane 11

There is a problem with sound when you used B737-300 from X-Aviation. You need to reinstall X-life to work properly.

Re: X-Life ver 4 for X-Plane 11

Hi

don't know why, but if I try to start X-Life, XP crashes. I also did a fresh install new partition and added one by one plugin....but could not find any other than X-Life causing problem.

Attach x-life.dmp and log.txt not allowed

Downloaded and replaced x-life with the latest update >> same issue.

Installed everything on my new box one by one and the same behaviour at that time x-life is there, Backup of the old XP (updated from 11.25 until 11.32 in all steps) on C Drive, fresh install on D Drive, both with thesame issue. Without loading x-Life everything works great.

I don't use 737-300 from X-Aviation. The Error occurs on all my Planes!

I have exactly the same issue and can therefore confirm this is not a "random" event.

I tried 3 consecutive approaches to EHAM and every time the ATC panel slides down off the screen after reporting TOD.

After that X-Life traffic is still around but there is no ATC vectoring/comms anymore and the panel is not recoverable.

I have no solution either I'm afraid. Just able to reproduce your issue.

I am going to try some other approaches to different airports to verify.

X-Life is great by the way. Thanks for all the great work JARDesign. Yes I got the paid version.

Flight plan was sent, but no ATIS is showing. Using ASXP. But with default XP real weather it also shows no ATIS. This only happend after installing the latest Xlife version from 12.03.19.
