hi guys, not sure if this was reported yet, but this switch does not operate/work in cold and dark. (no no, i do net expect the autothrottle to come alive in cold and dark, but the switch only It seemes there is a bug?

if you set the a/c into the "cold and dark" mode, the speedbrake on the left side (only) is beeing set into a somewhat "weird" position (thats at least my impression) :-)

Folks! A quick update on this. I just processed the AIDAP data which contain the NOTAMS that we need to parse. I also reviewed the ICAO DOC 1826, which defines the NOTAMS format (codes, abbreviations) and all necessary specifications. The NOTAM system is more standartized than initially expected. It seems, there is a great chance that parsing the NOTAMS for what we need it, will work, since the Q)-line of the NOTAM is distinct and clear. (See here the Code for dealing with VOR´s in NOTMAS) Code: (Q)NTAS - hints to a VOR that is unserviceable. A massive part of the NOTAMS use this codes! Only based on the Q)code for an unserviceable VOR (QNTAS) and Completely withdrawn (QNTAW) and some filtering/parsing, i do get pretty motivating results: The herein found VOR stations needs to be compared with the X-Plane Navaids and finally, the respective Navaid in X-Plane sould be failed (and maybe some hint given to the user). We will most probably not get a 100% result, since the NOTAMS E-Line can be quite a mess (as @niebiski said). Ben is aware of the fact that we need a dataref or something to inject those data, probably there is going to be a way in order to get that in future. It seems as if we could hang on to the subject. Essential technical requirements are met. At the points where these do not yet exist, it seems as if they were quite feasible. An indication of impossibility did not exist previously. Any support and ideas appreciated. You´ll be kept informed Stefan

agree, same here

Hey Ben, thats bad news so far. Could that be achieved somehow by calling for a scenery reload? Thanks Stefan

hi there, is there any chance to read some data from the IXEG FMC (via a lua script) via datarefs or something comparable? ORIGIN DEST RTE CRUIZE ALT TGT SPEED FLIGHT TIME HH and MM FUEL (HH:MM) if this data can not be retrieved directly from the FMC, is there a chance to squeeze them out of X-Plane? Thanks in advance

you are right. RWY and especially TWY would be very very dificult. But, at least the shutting down navigation equipment should be possible. Lets build a scenario: You are inflight - The plugin gathers a list of let say all (D)VORTACs in a 500nm vicinity (in X-Plane) in a list - Lets assume, one of the itmes in vicinity is DKB 117.80 VOR - The script then parses the NOTAM (raw) file for the gathered VOR IDENTIFIER and FREQUENCY (DKB 117.80) in Line E) - If there is a matching result, recheck whole line E for indicators like "OUT OF SERVICE" or similar.. - Retrieve from line and C) from when and until when the station is out of service (or maybe "PERM" from line D) which means permanent) - If the current time is in between (B) and C), tell X-Plane (how?) to shutdown the respective VOR (see attached picture) and otherwise let it on/turn it back on. Actually, this one should be pretty simple for a coder, what do you think?

you asked for scrutinizing :-)

Hi there, i just read some NOTAMS for a particular airport and immediately asked myself, why X-Plane is currently static regarding those kind of things. Is there a real chance to do a plugin that is able to parse notams and: * dynamically activate or deactivate navigational equitpment (VOR, NDBs, DMEs, ILS..) * dynamically close a runway (putting a temporary marking/light on the runway or something like that) * dynamically insert construction work(ers) on a runway * dynamically insert cranes/antennas on certaing positions (lat/lon) * .. what do you guys think about that? here´s a notam for a quick look temp.pdf

hi, it seemes that some sound on the overhead panel are wrong. On the other hand multiple switches use same sound file. maybe room for improvement?

navigraph, sorry!

latest navdata cycle (1605) and 1.0.3 IXEG

hi there, this happened at gander internatinal, RNAV appr cheers IXEG_debug_01.txt GizmoLog.txt

thanks for "Aufklärung", Jan

would love to give that a try. Never done that before.

Tom, take all the time and have a good family-time!

Thanks JRBarrett! Something is weird (it might be me), but today it worked just as it was supposed to do - so probably me :-(

nope, stock iMac and its speakers

I thought about stop flying the pax version and wait for the cargo version Gesendet von meinem SGP771 mit Tapatalk

morten, maybe som sort of bbj?

here are the steps: 1) Baterry on 2) connect ground power 3) turn on ground power 4) move "NO SMOKING" or "FASTEN SEATBELTS" switch into a different position until the respective sound plays result: you will probably hear, that by that step, the overall sound in the cockpit is getting reduced (volume) a little bit

hi folks, i just tried to enter the pressent position on the IRS DISPLAY. I managed to enter the current Latitude, but > its not possible to enter a Longtitude. I just folllowed the steps from the manual:
