Finally someone broke the silence here :-) Hello Daniel, as far as I know it will work on Windows and Mac OS X. Greetings, Sebastian

Hello Jojo, You could use FlyWithLua and write a little script to read the axis. Then you can define ranges and trigger the correct flap position fitting to your range. Should be pretty easy. Greetings, Sebastian

We should immediately lock down the "Work In Progress" Forum. It has the one and oly true number of posts :-p

Same here :-p

Hello Red, I think it was said somewhere that it will be the cross hairs. Greetings, Sebastian

Isn't there anyone around that has access to a real 733 and can just test it for us ? :-) Just kidding... But what about that LEVEL-D Simulator you already used Jan? If it is good enough for real pilots, it should be good enough for us as well :-p best regards, Sebastian

I think you can remove that point from you list: I am not sure about pressurization but noise level is definitely there :-) Greetings, Sebastian

Thanks a lot for sharing this progress update. Greetings, Sebastian

From EDDN (Nuremberg) to LIPZ (Venice). That's a nice, relative short Trip with passing the german, austrian and italian Alps. Greetings, Sebastian

Yes, Please give us at least a High-Res wallpaper as long as we wait!!! :-) Sebastian

Maybe the the 14th European Flight Sim Conference in Berlin Germany (12th March) would be a great :-) If you will be there, I will be there :-) Link: http://fskonferenz.de/main_page/index.php?lang=en&site=welcome Greetings, Sebastian

Thats something I thought about as well :-) It is depending on the price of course but I do really think about rebuying the aircraft after big updates to keep you supported for your hard and ongoing work! Or will there be an option to donate directly to IXEG Team? That would be a great solution as well... You add new features to your product and people can decide on their own if they want to pay you for that or not. Greetings, Sebastian

I think that will happen just hours after release :-)

Let's say it like this: My main reason for buying Soundmaxx was to get rid of the silence at the Aiports. When I discovered that I had not any sound while sitting in my CRJ or 757 at the gate, I was a bit disappointed. So I wrote my little script to trick it. As I am not a real pilot, I have no Idea if you can hear any ambient sound from inside the cockpit. So I cannot say if it matches reality or not to have it 30 or 40% less than normal. But for me, the most boring with x-plane is that nothing happens at airports. It is silent, nothing moves. Ok, there are things happening in the community and spreading bit by bit which makes it better and better: - Autogate - GroundTraffic - Ground Service ( I saw a preview video of Jardesign I believe) - AND SoundMaxx with it's ambient sounds. So maybe you can make it as an option to enable ambient sounds even inside the plane. Maybe reduced by a percentage. Then everyone can choose to enable it or not. In general you can keep your logic to say if door or canopy is open or view is outside enable ambient at set volume. If view is inside and ambient sound option enabled - enable ambient sound at set volume minus 30%. If option is disabled and view inside fade it out. The perfect solution would be an additional slider to set the inside volume by your own. Then the difference between inside and outside would be users choice. The way I fly is 98% inside the cockpit, so I am quite happy with my script. It also plays very nice in the 757 with it's own ambient sound and with the horn of the autogates. However, this work around is not easy to use for everyone else... Many thanks again, Sebastian

Hello again :-) I have another idea... If you could tell me which dataref tells SoundMaxx if my view is outside or inside AND if there is a dataref for the ambient volume, I would change my script that if I am inside, the volume could be reduced by let's say 30 or 40% automtatically. Now I reduced the volume of the ambient sound that it does not get too lound in the cockpit. It works great, however it is reduced from the outside view as well which is not perfect :-) Cheers, Sebastian

Works like a dream and is exactly what I wanted to have :-) For now, I implemented it for the CRJ2 if AIRCRAFT_FILENAME == "CRJ200.acf" then dataref("door_open", "sim/cockpit/warnings/annunciators/cabin_door_open", "writable") dataref("eng_state", "sim/flightmodel/engine/ENGN_running", "readonly") function ambient_sound() if eng_state == 0 then door_open = 1 end end do_every_frame("ambient_sound()")endSo, many thanks for your help! Great support! Greetings, Sebastian

Many thanks! I will play a bit with these datarefs tonight! Greetings, Sebastian

Hello together, I have one question regarding following statement: Can you tell me which dataref is used by SoundMaxx as trigger for starting ambient sound as soon as the door opens? I am asking this because I want to create a small FlyWithLua script that starts the ambient sound as soon as the engines of the B757 are off. For this, I would set the required "door open" dataref. Many thanks in advance, Sebastian

Hi melegeert, in your log, I can see that you have quaite a lot of plugins running. I had some longer time ago a problem with the sounds as well and it was linked to a plugin. I cannot remember which one it was... Hoewever, just give it a try. best regards, Sebastian

Hello together, I noticed that somehow waypoints of my planned route disapear. Up to now, I tested a lot and finally found a route where the problem is reporoduceable every time. As example, you can take the flight from EDFH (Frankfurt Hahn) RWY 03 to EDDN (Nürnberg). I used following route: RUDUS L984 BOMBI Z723 KOMIB T193 ERTES SID: RUDUS4E I added some screenshots in the german Aerosoft Forum:http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/74880-crj200-waypoints-verschwinden-mitten-im-flug/?p=535228 Everything works fine till you reach the waypoint FH060. As soon as this point is reached, two waypoints (FH062 and HANNB) are deleted and I do not know why... I tested this behavior with X-Plane 32 & 64 Bits, the current CRJ Version (1,53) and the Aerosoft NavDataPro data Cycle 1310 & 1311. Has anyone a solution for this problem? Greetings, Sebastian

I personally do not know if Goodway is better as PFPX or the other way around. What I can say up to now is that PFPX is the software I want to use for the future from what I have seen till today. The only remaining thing that stops me from buying PFPX is the missing support for the CRJ2. @frankbyte: How do you use it without a CRJ2 profile?

I think, flight planning and fuel calculation is not really dependent on the flight sim...

Hello, as many of you might already know, the amazing flight planning tool "Professional Flight Planner X" http://www.flightsimsoft.com/pfpx/ was released during the last days. Today, my favorite Aircraft (Of course the CRJ2 :-) is not supported yet. So I wanted to ask if someone created already a profile for that flight planning tool. Maybe JRollon has planned it on his own, In general, creating the aircraft config file seems not to be very difficult (http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/72210-creating-a-new-aircraft-type/), however it is impossible for me to gather al the required performance values. Greetings, Sebastian

Hello, the CRJ works fine on XP 64 Bits....
