Cool addons for the IXEG:

[Need-To-Know]

I posted these on Avsim and thought these might help the next guy that buys the plane to spend more time flying and less time hunting.

Just posting as a public service not as an endorsement of any product. If you found some stuff i missed I would like to see them too.

Cool addons for the IXEG:

Ground handling by JARDesign

This is kind of a GSX type thingy.

There are not voices (IE "pin is inserted")

Manual setup can be a bit frustrating to figure out but someone has already done the work for you (Link below).

http://handling.jardesign.org/

and get the planes file (ie already to go for the IXEG) from:

Haversine FMS:

This tool is awesome if you have an iPad!!!

RemoteFlight:

Worth every cent!! This will let you set your radios, nav & comm as well as your transponder.

The gauges also work.

There is a moving map app too if you want that kinda thing.

BTW -it works in FSX too. Value for money!!!

iGocConnect:

I personally have only lightly tested this as I use PFPX.

Works great to give you a better visual reference to setup your weights.

As for the flight planning. It can send your route to the FMC (One of the only ways to do this for now - Another program listed below)

(PFPX cannot send routes ….yet but sounds like they are working on it)

Route to FMC:
I actually use PFPX but to get the route to the FMC I found one option is:

Route to FMC: (A quick paste option)

I just use the Haversine FMS outlined above then just save my routes in sim.

 

X-RAAS2:

Easy to setup and loads of configurations. I am still amazed by the great X-Plane community with free addons like this.

Vspeed callouts:

Vidal. For some reason the sounds from the default copilot for vspeeds are super low and I could not hear them. This plugin fixed that for me:

Crew:

This works ok. It gives you crew announcements. It is a bit spotty from my experience and the callouts can be awkward sometimes. This probly has to due with my setup or a conflict somewhere and not the authors fault.

Still I would not go without it.

TugMaster:

Bouncy too but when it works right will be mint! Works great in XP10. IXEG has a default tug that works great but this one you an use your joystick.

http://store.x-plane.org/TugMaster-Deluxe_p_310.html

This would work great for if your plane sits overnight at a remote stand (pretending here) and needs to be tugged to the gate.

Nav Data: To update your FMC.

I use Navigraph (paid app) and direct it to the IXEG folder (it does support it). I also found it easier sometimes just to do a manual placement into the IXEG folder. This will get the FMC (CDU) to read up to date on the opening screen.

GoFlight Interface Tool.

Setup those goflight panels in XPlane.

I have 7-GF panels and MCP.

Man o man I cursed this tool at first but once I got the hang of it, it works great. Just no good tuts on using it in XPlane. Rob has a good one for FSX/P3D but it works a little bit different in Xplane.

It is actually easier to use in XPlane than how it works in FSX/P3d since it uses  "Datarefs".

I hope to do a write up on using the GIT tools in the future.

BTW I tried several other tools for the GoFlight panels. Save yourself from gray hairs and just pay for this one.

 

Datarefs:

Learning to work with "Datarefs" This one was a bit confusing and frustrating at first but I had a good teacher:

wow, great post thanks you

[donoscar]

I would not recommend the JAR addons those have been buggy on my end ever-since, especially XP11 doesn't like them

[frumpy]

For external instruments and radio stuff - if you have a second monitor, I find

Air Manager is very powerful. Cheaper than an iPad, though.

The IXEG 733 dont have any vspeed callouts, thats the reason you dont hear them 

An alternativ to your suggestion is this script.
