  1. The sounds are finally coming along well. I've been 'worried' about...and playing with the engine sounds for quite some time, being that you can't just record a MU2 engine and handle all the possible ways a user may interact with the engine in a sim....and I've had to also learn FMOD along the way. If you want to simulate "cranking" or a hot start, or a shutdown, or a slow start, you have to accomodate the engine RPM at any given time and for any given duration. This means you need a relatively complex "looping" setup of sounds that only play when their "physical source" is in play. You don't find many videos of MU2s of cranking....or owners willing to 'crank' their engine several times for you and kill their battery while you record sounds. You may recall X-Plane firing up a turbine and playing the "lightoff" sound even if the engine doesn't lightoff. That's unacceptable to me. ....so the challenge has been to mix and synthesize the various components of the engine sounds to try and recreate the real thing. Well the engine is finally starting to sound realistic IMO...not perfect but not bad.....and the better it gets, the more I keep playing with it and why things keep dragging out. That being said, I think the wait will be worth it. I can honestly say that after 17 years from the first time I started building the MU2 for X-Plane....its finally shaping up to be the simulation I wanted it to me.

    About this plugin You have a MIDI Controller at home with lots of buttons and knobs? Why not use it with your favourite aircraft to control the autopilot and many other functions! XMidiCtrl is a plugin for X-Plane 11, which allows you to connect MIDI controllers to X-Plane commands and datarefs without the need of additional software. The plugin was developed for X-Plane 11.50+ / 12 and supports Microsoft Windows, Linux and macOS (universal build). The following devices are officially supported: Behringer X Touch Mini The following devices are known to work: Behringer BCR2000 Behringer X-Touch Compact Loupedeck Live XMidiCtrl is open source: GitHub page Features Create different profiles for your aircrafts Bind knobs and buttons of your controller to X-Plane Commands and DataRefs Simulate push and pull functions for buttons (normal button press = push, long botton press = pull) Send MIDI messages to the MIDI device to illuminate buttons when certain modes are active (e.g. autopilot, heading mode, ...) Developed in C++ with no performance impact in your simulator Donate If you like XMidiCtrl and want to support its further development then you can donate. Documentation Detailed documentation of the plugin and all mapping options can be found here. Support If you need support or want to chat about the plugin then please visit the official support forum. Installation Extract the ZIP file and move its entire XMidiCtrl folder into your ..\X-Plane\Resources\plugins directory. Examples I have included the following examples as well as overlays to print out in the examples folder: ToLiss A321 Hot Start TBM 900 Hot Start Challenger 650 IXEG 737-300 ZIBO 737-800 iniBuilds A310 Felis Boeing 747-200 Templates I included a template for the Behringer X-Touch Mini in the templates folder of the installation package. This template includes an example mapping and further information about the supported mapping options. I have also included my hardware configuration of the Behringer X-Touch Mini in the same folder. You can apply those settings using the X-Touch Editor from Behringer. To use the template file, simply copy it into your aircraft folder and start adding commands and/or datarefs for your buttons and encoders. Usage When a new aircraft is loaded, the plugin will search in the aircraft directory for a file called XMidiCtrl.toml. The profile uses the TOML language and holds information about the MIDI devices to be used and the mappings of the encoders and buttons. Further information about the TOML syntax can be found here. The configuration of XMidiCtrl might be a bit intimidating at the beginning, but it is quite straight forward. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you run into problems. Screenshots

    Boeing has four Challenger 650s for corporate use. N541BA, N543BA, N544BA, and N547BA. The aircraft all wear a very similar livery, presented here. There are a few minor differences to accommodate the texturing on the Hot Start CL650.

  4. ID41 Stibnite View File This is my rendition of Stibnite Airfield (ID41), Yellow Pine, Idaho, USA. It is purely library-based and doesn't contain any custom objects. It features the curved runway, some vegetation and a simple cabin. I recommend using it with ortho scenery (the screenshots were made using VStates Idaho) - the default mesh has some glitches in the area.

    Librain implementation for Laminar's Cessna 172SP. This implementation is based on an improved version of Laminar's xLua plugin (included) by "aeroplane" and a small part, by me. This way, you avoid to use an extra plugin to get rain effects. C-172SP G1000 Walkaround Do the following to make it work (credits Todir): Open the file Cessna_172SP_G1000_cockpit.obj with a text editor. Find the last line starting with IDX (should be IDX5455 - Line 7428) Add just below and above the line that says ANIM_begin the line: ATTR_cockpit. Save the file and enjoy flying in the rain! In the future will be included in the download. SPECIALLY FOR DEVELOPERS/TINKERS! : You can use this release as an example of how to use the librain plugin with xLua. ABOUT xLua Plugin : The xLua plugin here is an improved version of Laminar's xLua plugin, which already exists in the aircraft. The new version adds the ability to: Print log info to Log.txt file for debugging. Returns a global variable "acfFolder", a string with the full path of aircraft's folder. LICENCE: MIT
