LES Saab 340A Yoke Power and Speed Charts
By N1K
This package will replace the default instrument approach charts on the yoke with a selection of power and speed charts.
The data is derived from the charts.pdf provided with the aircraft, speeds are based on Sea Level and 0 degrees celcius.
Being a turbo-prop, the difference in most speeds are only a few knotts and makes a compromise for the limited chart space.
To select the chart to be displayed, click on the 'charts' icon towards the bottom of the gizmo toolbar (the one that looks like line graphs).
Includes:
* Climb Power and ECS OFF Takeoff Power
* Cruise Power and ECS ON Takeoff Power
* Selection of Metric or Imperial weight Speed Charts

saab340a Make it easy to follow takeoff and landing speeds
By aeysim
ATTENTION: Only for LES Saab 340!
It makes it easy for you to follow takeoff and landing speeds.
Takeoff speed (approximately) : 105 knts (green)
Landing speed (approximately) : 115 knts (red)
1. Download and extract file
2. Insert folder "Cockpit.png" and "Cockpit_LIT.png" in Aircraft/X-Aviation/Saab 340A/.............. Variant/liveries/.........../objects
Apply this process to all variants and liveries.
4. Enjoy!
P.S: An explanation came from LES: CTOT is not based on 64% torque, it is based on 64˚ Power Lever position.
So I re-edited the file and unchecked the Torque indicator showing 64%. I arranged the picture again according to what is written here. However, they need to fix the error in the Flight Tutorial.pdf file (p.11) found in the aircraft manuals.
I reuploaded the corrected image file. Sorry.

A lateral cargo door (FlyJSim B732 Twinjet)
By XPJavelin
This download is a lateral cargo door for the main deck of the FJS 737-200 Twinjet.
"This is not an official FlyJSim object, modification of the acf file comes at your own risk."
This object has to be added as supplementary 3D object in Plane Maker.
Please open Plane Maker and browse to FlyJSim 737-200 acf file.
Select Misc 3D objects and browse to our file. Add it.
Save it.
To display the door in the open state, please set 0001 as transponder code.
This download is fully independant from FlyJSim art assets. Therefore, as we couldn't touch to the actual fuselage, we mimic the hole in the fuselage with a mask.
This should work well with my Combi repaint where I painted the door on the fuselage.

SmartFlying, an extension to make formation flight using SmartCopilot.
SmartFlying
an extension to make formation flight using SmartCopilot.
SmartFlying is a Lua script for FlyWithLua that allows formation flight on X-Plane over the internet, without the need of a dedicated server (like IVAO, VATSIM, ect.).
It uses SmartCopilot to establish a connection between two remote users and share the data while it handles X-Plane's AI-Aircraft to show the position of the remotely connected aircraft.
Currenty it has been tested on Linux (primary development platform) and Windows, but it should work without problem on MacOsX.
SmartFlying uses AMS, an advanced package library for Lua included in the distribution archive, and it has been developed around FlyWithLua because unfortunately Gizmo is not currently available for Linux.
Current version: 0.84a (21 Jan 2021)
DOWNLOAD the lastest version of SmartFlying here: SmartFlying-LatestRelease.zip
DOWNLOAD SmartCopilot from the home page: https://sky4crew.com/smartcopilot/
DOWNLOAD FlyWithLuaNG here: FlyWithLua NG Download page
Please read "SmartFlying-Readme.pdf" for installation instructions.

OBJ8 to Wavefront OBJ converter
OBJ8 to Wavefront OBJ Converter
for Linux, Windows and MacOsX
OBJ8_convert allows you to convert 3D meshes from X-Plane's proprietary format to a standard Wavefront OBJ.
This tool converts only the meshes, discarding all the other informations such as: materials, animations, dataref.
HOW IT WORKS
OBJ8_convert is a command line tool. The syntax is quite simple:
obj8_convert <xplanesfile.obj> [<output.obj>] Once converted, the file can be opened in Blender or in any other software that is able to handle a standard Wavefront OBJ file.
EXAMPLE
Just for the sake of test, let's convert one of the standard objects in the library of X-Plane, the small fuel truck:
The file can be found here:
Resources/default scenery/airport scenery/Common_Elements/Vehicles/Small_Fuel_Truck.obj
Once converted with:
OBJ8_convert 'Resources/default scenery/airport scenery/Common_Elements/Vehicles/Small_Fuel_Truck.obj' test.obj
...can be opened in Blender:
All the measures in the OBJ8 file are in meters, thus the resulting Wavefront OBJ file uses the meter as a unit base.
Infact, is clearly visible from the snapshot, the truck is 6 meters long, meaning 6 squale, thus it is compatible with the real life truck which is 6.12 meter long.
APPLICATIONS
OBJ8_convert can be used to add extra elements to an airplane. For instance, if one wants to add the pilots (or some passenger) to a plane that is missing them, he can convert the cockpit file and use it as template to place the pilots in the proper position, making sure that the hands are in the right places.
The sames applies to additional parts, such as winglets on the tip of the wings. OBJ8_convert can be used to get a reference to make the winglets perfectly fit the wings.
Or you may want to model a ladder or a stairway to your plane's door.
OBJ8_convert can be very useful also to make the files need by librain.
DEVELOPMENT
This tool is under active development and its functionalities may change in the future.
The primary development platform is Linux.
Special thanks to @xraydelta1 for compiling the Mac version.
Feedbacks, reports, suggestions or ideas are strongly welcomed: feel free to send me a message with your thoughts.

ACF Mesh tools
ACF Mesh Tools
for Linux, Windows and MacOsX
ACF Mesh Tools allows you to edit and modify the plane's meshes from the ACF file.
Be aware: those tools are not made to edit the OBJ8 files as they work only with the ACF file format.
HOW ACF MESH TOOLS WORKS
Let's take as example the default Laminar's Cessna 172, a great model very well done (aestetically and internally).
We know that in Plane Maker the fuselage is made out of cross-sections:
...and those cross-sections creates a mesh:
Those meshes, made out of cross-sections, are the ones that PlaneMaker uses as model for the plane and X-Plane uses for its physics calculations.
Before v.8 that meshes were used as visual and physics model. Now, in most cases, this meshes are hidded from view and X-Planes uses a dedicated file, in OBJ8 proprietary format, for the visual rendering.
Using the tool 'acf_mesh_extract', the meshes inside the ACF are saved in a standard Wavefront OBJ file, that can be edited with Blender or with any other software that supports the format.
Once converted, the mesh can be modified:
Then the edited mesh is converted back in ACF format, using 'acf_mesh_insert', and the resulting ACF file can be loaded in Plane Maker:
Everything shown here was entirely done automatically with a conversion script. Except moving the points to alter the shape, no additional task has been done in Blender.
I'm using Blender, but this method can be used with any 3D software.
A PRACTICAL EXAMPLE
This is a quick reshaping that I've done on the fuselage of B-377 Stratoscruser made by Kauffmann.
I've found that the hidden fuselage doesn't match the shape of the plane model, the visual one, as we can see in Plane Maker and in the version imported in Blender:
(the wireframe in black, the unselected one, is the OBJ8 mesh for this plane; the selected object is the fuselage mesh from the ACF file)
After a quick reshaping, I've managed to make che ACF mesh match the shape of the OBJ8; then and I've reimported it back in the ACF file:
Loading the resulting ACF file in PlaneMaker we see that the cross-sections have changed from this:
to this:
THE TOOLS
In the zip file you'll get:
acf_mesh_extract acf_mesh_insert Launch those commands without options to get an help page.
acf_mesh_extract extracts all the meshes from the ACF file and converts them in a single (wavefront) OBJ file with multiple objects. You can import this file in any 3D software that supports the format, and alter the meshes as you wish.
You can not delete or add points nor change in any way the topology; you are just limited to move points. You'll find that some objects, like the engine's nacelles, are not in their final position; that is because PM positions them with a translation value. You can not move those objects to their final positions, otherwise when you'll reimport them back in the ACF file, it won't work; You are allowed to delete objects that you don't need. Some objects, although they can be modified and reimported in the ACF file, once this one is opened in Plane Maker are reset to their original shape; this applies to those parts, such the wings, that are made out of airfoils. You can not alter the UV informations of the vertices, as they are used to store the ACF's topology informations and they are needed later to reinsert the meshes back in the original file. Make sure that your 3D sofware exports the UV informations, without altering them. acf_mesh_insert allows to reinsert the modified meshes back in the original ACF file. It can be used only with meshes converted with 'acf_mesh_extract'.
You can not overwrite the original ACF file; this command will save the output in a different file. Your original ACF file is always preserved. Inserting the meshes does not alter in any way the informations of other parts present in the file. You don't need to reinsert all the meshes; you can insert only the ones you have modified.

ITX-D Lights Controls
By airfighter
ITX-D Lights Controls, gives you the control of X-Plane night lighting in a very intuitive way. By dragging the sliders you will be able to achieve the result you want, live. Also includes a custom lights.txt file with bigger light coverage. FPS impact in most cases will be one, or very minor.
REQUIREMENTS: FlyWithLua
INSTALLATION: Unzip the downloaded file into X-Plane 11 folder. Will request to overwrite the default lights.txt file.
Note: In case of an update, the updater would like to overwrite the file with the default one. Don't allow to do it, or after update, re-install this utility.
USAGE: Go to Plugins -> FlyWithLua -> FlywithLua Macros and click on the ITX-D Lights Controls. A window will pop up (as seen in the images) to set the values you like. Once you are happy with the results, click the Save Settings button to save the settings. From now on X-Plane will load with those settings, automatically.
Note: Using extreme values, will drop fps significantly and make the output unrealistic. Use with care!
Strongly recommended to use with Extended Night Lighting, as seen in the images below.

librain Default Cessna 172SP Librain with xLua
By airfighter
Librain implementation for Laminar's Cessna 172SP.
This implementation is based on an improved version of Laminar's xLua plugin (included) by "aeroplane" and a small part, by me. This way, you avoid to use an extra plugin to get rain effects.
C-172SP G1000 Walkaround
Do the following to make it work (credits Todir):
Open the file Cessna_172SP_G1000_cockpit.obj with a text editor. Find the last line starting with IDX (should be IDX5455 - Line 7428) Add just below and above the line that says ANIM_begin the line:
ATTR_cockpit. Save the file and enjoy flying in the rain! In the future will be included in the download.
SPECIALLY FOR DEVELOPERS/TINKERS! :
You can use this release as an example of how to use the librain plugin with xLua.
ABOUT xLua Plugin :
The xLua plugin here is an improved version of Laminar's xLua plugin, which already exists in the aircraft.
The new version adds the ability to:
Print log info to Log.txt file for debugging. Returns a global variable "acfFolder", a string with the full path of aircraft's folder.

Window CDU for IXEG 737-300
By TonyVier
This script duplicates the Captains CDU in a Window.
To activate the Window CDU, move your mouse to the far right on your monitor, and press the button.
Al normal functions should be available, except the CDU keyboard.
If you check "<Use Keyboard for CDU Input" on the Window CDU however, you can use your computer keyboard to enter data. The backspace key functions as a CLR key.
PLEASE NOTE: if "<Use Keyboard for CDU Input" is checked, ALL keyboard input is directed to the CDU, and you can't give normal key commands to the simulator. So, you can't change views, lower the gear by pressing g, etc. The ESC key releases CDU keyboard capture as well as unchecking the option.
Current limitations; Inverse colored data from the CDU is displayed normally, MSG, FAIL and OFST are not duplicated, but only shown on the normal CDU.
In theory the Window CDU should work in VR. You can drag the Window CDU to another monitor.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW, if there is anything going wrong.
