Cool addons for the IXEG:


Need-To-Know

Recommended Posts

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:

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

An alternativ to your suggestion is this script.
