Michael_B767_ATP Posted November 15, 2020 Report Posted November 15, 2020 Hi, Is there a way to have MaxxFX work between dawn, day and dusk and then automatically turn off so reshade can take over at night? Something like being able to set on/off times. Quote
sundog Posted November 15, 2020 Report Posted November 15, 2020 The short answer is no, but it's an interesting idea... 1 Quote
Michael_B767_ATP Posted November 15, 2020 Author Report Posted November 15, 2020 Hi, Even if one could set two settings, one for day and one for night. Then reshade could be gone all together! Quote
Michael_B767_ATP Posted November 17, 2020 Author Report Posted November 17, 2020 Hi, Getting it down to just one switch, power user on/off ... If this was automatic at a time set, it would be even better! I run three copies of Maxx, you can clearly see the difference it makes. Quote
sundog Posted November 18, 2020 Report Posted November 18, 2020 That's an awesome setup! Next time I'm under the hood in MaxxFX I'll see how hard it would be. 1 Quote
Michael_B767_ATP Posted November 25, 2020 Author Report Posted November 25, 2020 Hi, Are there Commands registered to enable / disable MaxxFX (when I turn it on/off via Plugin Admin pulldown menu in Xplane). If there are command(s) I can easily make a python plugin to trigger those commands in response to events -- probably even automatically when X-Plane turns off night lighting. Thanks Mike Quote
sundog Posted November 27, 2020 Report Posted November 27, 2020 I'm afraid not, but that's an even better idea; it would allow for more flexibility. 1 Quote
Michael_B767_ATP Posted December 8, 2020 Author Report Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) Hi, Well it looks like MaxxFX is now capable of running via selected times via LUA Script, thanks IanQ . Here is the link for those interested. Just enter the start and end times and you're all set. It works great. It's the last file in the conversation that states it uses local time. It's called plugincheck_iq.txt, just rename the .txt to .lua. and yes, this requires Fly With Lua plugin.https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/232005-script-to-turn-onoff-a-plugin-based-on-time/&page=3&tab=comments#comment-2091638 Edited December 8, 2020 by Michael_B767_ATP Quote
sundog Posted December 9, 2020 Report Posted December 9, 2020 I see, it just forcibly disables and enables MaxxFX as a whole when you want. That works! 1 Quote
