About This File

**Updated 01/04/2022**

CrewPackXP is a FlyWithLUA utility designed to add some crew communications for aircraft in X-Plane 11. 
This includes basic callouts, and in some cases assistance from the PNF in high workload phases of flight. 
Settings can be adjusted to enable or disable the whole plugin, or just certain features of each aircraft.  

Flight Factor 757 / 767:  
- Virtual FO to pre-flight aircraft  
- Take-off and Landing calls by both crew members  
- Flight Attendant PA's  
- Ground Crew positioning of equipment  
- Virtual FO assistance with go-around procedure  

Hot Start Challenger 650:  
- Virtual FO to pre-flight aircraft  
- Take-off and Landing calls by both crew members

Changelog  
New features and bug fixes are listed in the change log.

Installation
Copy the Scripts and Modules folders into the main folder of FlyWithLUA:  
> X-Plane 11 > Resources > plugins > FlyWithLua

Once enabled, the First Officer should announce his entry to the cockpit roughly 15 seconds after loading in.

CrewPackXP settings can be accessed via the X-Plane menu bar:  
> Plugins > FlyWithLua > FlyWithLua Macros > Crew Pack Settings


Prerequisite
This plugin uses the FlyWithLUA plugin to interface with X-Plane.
It is available freely from [X-Plane.org](https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/38445-flywithlua-ng-next-generation-edition-for-x-plane-11-win-lin-mac/)

Luna INI Parser (LIP) is included as an additional plugin module for use with FlyWithLua. This module allows for the saving and reading of settings data within LUA. It has been included in this package under the MIT Licence offered by creator Carreras Nicholas.

This is a common plugin; it may already exist in your modules folder causing a prompt to overwrite.

Usage
The CrewPackXP functions run autonomously based on in sim events, provided the aircraft is enabled within the CrewPackXP settings. Refer to each aircraft's entry in the manual for details on settings and features available.

Disclaimer / Feedback
This package is to be distributed as Freeware only under the GPL v3 license.

This is the first time I have coded a plugin, any feedback is welcome.
Bug reports, please include the x-plane log.txt file in the main x-plane folder for the flight in question.

What's Changed

Challenger 650

  • Code now recognises the new thrust ref page title, as a result, v1.4.1 becomes the minimum supported version of aircraft. #13
  • FO can complete the pre-flight, either as a saved option or a once-off from the settings menu.
  • Added messages in the top left corner of the screen to confirm Take-off mode is armed and for vSpeed capture.
  • Flex Takeoff mode confirmed useable. Requires entering full thrust N1 TO mode first to arm system due to lack of data refs. Refer to the main readme.

All Scripts

  • Changed method scripts detect what aircraft is loaded and if they should initialise. #12
