docpan Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) Hello community, we have created a SCP config file for the hot Hotstart TBM900! And we are happy to share it with you today. Please keep in mind that this Version 1 and the plane is still in ongoing development. This version was tested with Version 1.08 * Special thanks to totoritko for his help * mechia teh_spartan docpan The smartcopilot config garage Download : https://sky4crew.com/download/hotstart-tbm900-1-08-version-1-0/ ### IMPORTANT ### #--------- NOTES: --------- # # Please Review The presync Checklist. # Due to limitations of the G1000, it is important to follow this checklist. because of these limitations # # #------ Xsquwak USERS: -------- # # Because of the lack of observer mode # The transponder fuses (1&2) are not synced. # and the pilot with the Observer Call-sign # should Pull these fuses to turn off their. # transponder # ### Version 1 : Initial Version #### Install #### 1. Put the smartcopilot file into the main Folder of the Hotstart TBM 900 2. Rename your TBM900 Folder in Xplane 11/Output to TBM900_my (or what ever you like) to keep your airframes 3. Put the TBM900 folder from this file in Xplane 11/Output 3. Load Xplane 4. Load the Hotstart TBM900 5. Do the ckecklist in this file (for this plane it more essential then ever to have the same status at the beginning) 6. Do the Payload stuff before connect individual (because these stuff are not synct at the moment) 7. connect via smartcopilot Have fun Until we dont have the option for cold and dark, these steps are important to get and same status at the beginning of the sharing flight. Later when have the option this becomes more esay Edited October 28, 2018 by docpan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goran_M Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 Well, that was fast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdy.dma Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 Thanks docpan and your friends, you are now an expert. For 2 days, i am not at home, but waiting your file i have installed the plane at home on my main computer. ASAP, i will test, report here and help if i can. First glance, point 6 (payload tab), can be probably solved easily (i mean with time, i know we are a niche in the niche) by the devs (values in an array, click spots with custom commands). Thank you saso, Goran and docpan. Claude. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docpan Posted October 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 Thank you Claude . We did this as a team (teh_sparten and mechia). It was not only my work. And this is version 1. There will be always space for improvements. totorikto and i talked about the payload already. Datarefs for the payload will come...

Cyrex1984 Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 Anyone want to fly with smartcopilot? Just contact me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronCondor Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Quick question. Steps 2 and 3. To clarify do we duplicate the TBM900 folder as TBM900_my and then save it outside the sim? Step 3 is that just the standard TBM900 folder in the Xplane/Output folder that just stays? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docpan Posted October 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) @IronCondor The TBM900 folder in your output dierctory stores your saved airframes. The reason why you should save or rename this is to save your created airframes. When you just replace the TBM900 folder all your saved airframes are lost. So first rename or backup your OWN TBM900 folder from Xplane11/output, than put the TBM900 folder from our file (from the downloaded zip file) in xplane11/output. When you have done it, you will have a cold & dark plane. Which you need for Smartcopilot. The TBM900 we have created for this is just a standard TBM900 folder which we catched from fresh vanilla installed plane. When you want to fly your own airframes again, just restore your own TBM900 folder (TBM900_my) to xplane11/output... Again, when we got an implemented Cold&Dark option, all this will be history.

IronCondor Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Thanks. So after I create my OWN folder I should move it out and then copy your version into this Xplane/Output folder. Thanks for your quick response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docpan Posted October 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Correct. And you are welcome. Cheers, docpan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdy.dma Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 Hi, For the second time, a release includes something about smartco. Great, thanks to saso and the smartco config garage. The most exiting features of the plane are wear and tears, failures. Is this doable? Create override wear datarefs. For example tbm900/override/comps/airframe/hstab/elv_act/wear = 0 (no override) or 1 (override active). So, scp/api/ismaster = 0 no connection, or smartco not installed: override = 0 scp/api/ismaster = 1 this is the slave machine: override = 1 , values will be received from the master thru the [CONTINUED] section. scp/api/ismaster = 2 this is the master machine: override = 0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docpan Posted November 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 @birdy.dma We have had prolems with the wear and tear during disconnect and reconnect. Sometimes when the slave plane get in right position after reconnect it becomes high acceleration. During this the wear and tear did his job and slave plane was broken after it. So we thought about to disable wear and tear for SCP... But you may a different idea.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpuwolf Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 thanks for the configuration one problem I would like to report. 1. don't press TOGA button when you are connected with smartcopilot, it will mass up autopilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docpan Posted November 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Thank you. Can you describe what happens in a little bit more details. We will look into it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docpan Posted February 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Dear Community, over the last months I got several emails and messages over x-plane.org with demandings about updates for existing files or config files for new planes. Unfortunately due real life and the lack of time I closed the smart copilot config garage. We had a good time in this small group of people who develop config files for smartcopilot. It was fun to create and test files for hours with theses lovely people. And I like say thank you again to all of them. Some of them still developing files or will maintain their created files in the future. But the following files will be released to community care. If anyone of you have the time, the skill and the mood to maintain and update them in the future I couldn’t be happier. Of course there is always space for a better file. So feel free to do them also from scratch. Flight Factor 767 Laminar Baron B58 + REP version Laminar Baron B58 G1000 Carenado DO228 RWDesigns DHC Twin Otter RWDesigns Hawker 4000 Colimata Concorde FXP Aerobask Robin DR401 Hotstart TBM900 I will monitor the files on the syk4crew website from time to time. If I find a newer version of one of these files, I will delete my version. Last but not least , I will say thank you for all your nice words all the likes from all of you who appreciated my small contribution to the community, which is one of the best communities out there. Keep that up. I hope we see us in the future in the forum , on discords or in the virtual sky. Cheers docpan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goran_M Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 @docpan Many thanks for all you have done with smartcopilot. Of course, real life is more important than hobby life, but hopefully you can return some time in the future. If not, we wish you all the best.
