Tom Stian Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) Hello Captains! I made a simple LUA-script for v-speed callouts. It includes callouts for 80 knots, V1, Vr, V2 (V2 is optional) and positiv rate / gear up. The script is tested on X-Plane 10.51 and X-Plane 11 on Windows 10. Feel free to leave a comment if you liked the script (or not) Requirement: - You will need FlyWithLua installed - http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/17468-flywithlua-for-xp9-and-xp10/ Installation: - Unzip the files in [X-Plane]\Resources\plugins\FlyWithLua\Scripts You should get a structure something like this. Settings:Edit the IXEG_vSpeed.lua for the settings. Set to true to enable "V2" callout and false to disable. true and false have to be written with lowercase letters.Enable_V2 = false Set to true to enable "Positive rate/Gear up" callout and false to disable. true and false have to be written with lowercase letters.EnablePosGearUp = true Sync the First Officers speedbugs with what you set on Captain side. Default = false. true and false have to be written with lowercase letters.SyncSpeedBugs = false Change "SoundLevel" to adjust volume for the callouts. Adjust between 0.10 min - 1.00 max (default 0.55)SoundLevel = 0.55 How to use: This is how I use the bugs. It may not be correct compared to real procedures. The required bugs you need to set for the call out to work is Bug_2 to V1 speed, Bug_3 to Vr speed, and set the MCP speed to V2 (if you use V2 callout). You can set the other bugs to whatever you prefere. Demonstration: Known bugs/limitations: - Speed bugs can only be set on Captains side. Credits:@xplana for his excellent voice for the callouts Changelog: v0.111- Made variables and datarefs unique to avoid conflicts with other lua scripts. v0.110 - Minor optimizing of the script. v0.109 - Added setting to sync the speed bugs on First Officers side with what you set on Captains side. v0.108- Added setting to adjust volume for the callouts- Added setting to disable "Positive rate/Gear up" callout v0.107 - Speed bugs did not reset. Fixed v0.106 - Reseting speed bugs when loading script. To avoid callouts if you dont have set the bugs. - Some adjustment to the sounds. (not so much right panning). v0.105- Changed the default for V2 callout to false (disabled) v0.104- Fixed V1 callout when starting X-Plane/loading aircraft v0.103 - Fixed "Positive rate / Gear up" -callout when V2 is disabled v0.102- Added setting to disable V2 callout v0.101 - Fixed compability with X-Plane 10 v0.100 - inital version You can download the script here: http://forums.x-pilot.com/files/file/1029-ixeg-vspeeds-callouts/ Edited June 1, 2017 by Tom Stian Updated to v0.111 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpedroni Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Fantastic script, just a question. Why you do not use bug 1 for V1, bug 2 for rotate and bug 3 for V2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vespa Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Tom, just a question. Using latest XP10 and updated FlyWithLua to 2.4.4.b, installed the IXEG script I see a sentence in the upper right corner of the display sayins "Lua Stopped" What's wrong? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Stian Posted December 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 So what do you think guys (and girls?). Should V2 callout be default enabled. Or is it rarley used ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defiance_co Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Tom, To be honest ill go with what more expert people say I'm chuffed, so will go with the majority or yourself decide Cheers Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Stian Posted December 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) Thanks for your input @Defiance_co I have been reading around and it looks like V2 isen't called out in normal operations. More used in the older days with older aircrafts. Maybe @Litjan or someone with knowledege on this can come with some input also.

Defiance_co Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Heya Tom, Well you're kinda thinking along my lines I think Jan if he sees this might chirp in, afterall, himself and i think for certain one other forum user maybe two more actually, did fly the bird So Jan/Their input would just about seal the deal one way or another Take Care Have Fun Tony 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Stian Posted December 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 After some more input on this I changed the default for V2 callout to false (disabled) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xplana Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 well done. What do you think about adding the "thrust set" callout? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont want the script to be too complex. But I could maybe add it as an option and make it default disabled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Would like the thrust set option, or takeoff power set? As long as it's set disable by default then can only be positive for those that want it Maybe a silly question, can the sounds be made stereo, just now they are only in my right earpiece.

Im looking at the "thrust set" option, and I think I got the datarefs I need for it. But need to work a bit more with it. About the sounds, its intended that the sound comes from the right. But maybe it is a bit overdone. Will look at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) Ok, good to know. Maybe slightly louder in the right would be enough. I have my volume loud (IGEX sounds are awesome) so any single channel sound makes you jump out your seat a bit If my wish is in the minority, it's fine to leave as is.

Iain Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 (edited) Hi Tested and much better for me now. Thanks for you work. Is there a way for the user to adjust the volume, I'm interested to see how they sound when they are a bit quieter.
