Topic: X-Life ver 1.2

What new in ver.1.2:

+ add ATC vectoring from any point on your route to arrival airport along ATC flightplan.
+ Pilot may start work with ATC after takeoff and ignore any ground ATC procedures (if Pilot need)
+ XP11 and XP10 compatible

Permanent link to actual release
http://www.jardesign.org/x-life/download/xlife.zip

1. Be sure what you use OSX 10.9-10.12 or Windows 7-8-10 and X-Plane 64 bit 10.42+ or X-Plane 11 64 bit.

2. Be sure what you have at least one of static library installed -
OpenSceneryX. If not, you can install it for free opensceneryx.com

3. Copy “X-Life” folder to your ../X-PLANE 10/Resources/plugins/ folder

4. If you prefer use HD “Bluebell XL” traffic AI library, please download 3 files from
http://jardesign.org/downloads/BBXL/BBXL-1.zip
http://jardesign.org/downloads/BBXL/BBXL-2.zip
http://jardesign.org/downloads/BBXL/BBXL-3.zip

Next unZIP and put “Bluebell XL” folder to ../X-PLANE 10/Custom Data/ folder
and install folders “PackA”, “PackB”, “PackG”, “PackJ”, “PackP” to
../X-PLANE 10/Custom Data/Bluebell XL/ folder

http://jardesign.org/forum/img/m/22/t/p1aiikfio2qnomj024f1tn6u163.jpg

5. UPDATE YOU NAV DATA WITH FRESH CYCLE (if needed)
X-Life use NavData (old) cycle by Aerosoft from own /navdata/ subfolder
or from ../X-PLANE/Custom Data/GNS430/navdata/ folder if exist

If you need update your cycle, please use Aerosoft/Navigraph
- “JARDesign a320/330 Native format” or (the same in fact)
- “XPLANE_GNS430_777WORLDLINER_FF757PROF_NATIVE”
and put new cycle to ../X-PLANE/Custom Data/GNS430/navdata/ folder

All principles remain the same - please post you ideas for improvements, post what you like/unlike? post your log.txt + x-life.dmp if Crash happen.

So, now, i just continue coding ver 1.2+ Cheers!

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

Re: X-Life ver 1.2

How to use vectoring:

- Run X-Life
- Generate/Import flightplan
- Send Flightplan to ATC
- Airbone from departure airport
  (you will see "Request Vectoring" at ATC panel)
- Click it!


You can request Resume own Navigation flight any time you want.

You may back under vectoring any time you want.

You may request vectoring after Go-Around from arrival airport (very useful).

You may See vectoring flightplan on Radar MAP.

Re: X-Life ver 1.2

Sweet! Thanks!
Wish for future development - holds! :-)

edit: Also please consider adding some keybinds, like show/hide main window, readback, etc.
Also I'd like to ask please to add a little button to be able to pin the window in place so it does not hide automatically.

Re: X-Life ver 1.2

hello,
everything went well until I asked for a FM car. When I pressed the button "ask FM car" XP11 freezed totally.
It happened at EBOS with custom ATC route from JAR database.

It did not happen with X-life version for XP 10.
regards,
Didier

plan is wrong -

need use like:
KBOS SID PATSS _past_airway_or_DCT_here_ NELIE STAR KEWR

but sure, CTD should not happen anyway - i am trying and not get CTD, but FlightPlan error message on screen. May be you can contact me skype - will check on your side.

Re: X-Life ver 1.2

Works great for me using XP 11 no problems. I will continue test flights with vectoring. JAR This is really outstanding work! The entire community owes you so much thanks. Never have a doubt. This man he comes through for us! Thank you!

Thanks Eugeny,
I noticed the fp error and tried again with the DCT. Same CTD. I'll try Skype tomorrow. Might be one of my numerous plugins interfering...

Re: X-Life ver 1.2

I feel what this is some NavData issue, cause i cant find point PATSS in airways file of navdata. Yes, i see this point in procedures file, but no one other point connect it in NavData. Rare case.

Re: X-Life ver 1.2

To make 1.16 match with XP11, we had copy GNS430 in Resource folder.
So now, i think we can delete it ?

Re: X-Life ver 1.2

Hello,
I also got CTD while requesting a runway change during clearance process (X-Plane 11).
Route : LSZH SID VEBIT T51 LASUN UN176 LUMEL UT10 TORPA UM624 BUB UY28 HELEN STAR EHAM
Suggested runway at LSZH was 32 but I clicked REQ34 (because it was closer to my gate) and X-Plane crashed. It didn't even produce a dump so I attach the log.txt at least.

PS: Ignore the segment errors in log - I had a mistake in the route when I copied it from PFPX to the TXT file, VEBIT was missing. When I noticed the route was accepted correctly.

Hello, I have installed x-life and bluebell. I can't see any Lufthansa aircrafts on German airports. Why not?

PATSS is a FIX in the /Users/HW/Desktop/X-Plane 11/Custom Data/GNS430/navdata/waypoints.txt file

It is also in
/Users/HW/Desktop/X-Plane 11/Custom Data/earth_fix.dat

PATSS,42.089072,-71.710842,K6

The route is a commonly used route most airlines take from BOS to EWR and I have used it forever and it always worked. I also tried without SMP and all it's companions (Gizmo, RWC, NOAA etc) but no luck. Also, I tried  the A330 instead of the FF763 and again, same crash.

EDIT: I just noticed that the AIRAC cycle for the navdata in the X-Life folder is very old and does indeed not contain PATSS. I just replaced with 1701 but still CTD when I send the fp to ATC...

Re: X-Life ver 1.2

covers only airports air traffic is shown in the map, or many other airports that are not present in the map?

Re: X-Life ver 1.2

Ooook! Thanks for your reports. I just improve some, include vertical profile calculation for vectoring, crashes when enter flightplan, and about 20+ details what you are not interesting so much. You can change .xpl file only to get ver 1.2r2 Update

Re: X-Life ver 1.2

Thanks JAR! Seems to work fine in XP 11 newest beta 5 release. The altitude instruction problem is fixed I will keep testing. Just a an observation on my last approach to KSAN runway 27. ATC cleared me to 2,600ft but the generated flight plan had the route going over mountains that are 6-7 thousand feet. I had to wait till I was safe to descend to 2,600. ATC does not know what the terrain elevations are. Is it possible to create your own flight plans and include FLT Levels for waypoints? Ex: JLI 80 or 8,000ft  Again thanks!

Re: X-Life ver 1.2

I have the latest xlife installed with my X-plane 11 and works very well.  Only one problem I have.   I seem to get flashing green lights from some of the AI aircraft as in the pictures below.  They appear to be navigation lights on some of the aircraft.....far removed from the airplane though.  Anyone can tell me what is up? Thanks in advance!

I've made terrain analyze, i will recheck how it work again. Sure, ATC not so clever and cant analyze terrain altitude to build approach, but should build approach and set points altitude over terrain.
