XPJavelin

Hey Nick, I have not used P3d since June 2018. XP is much more open (even if not freeware) and flexible. The only problem is for aircraft designers, when Austin changes the flight model parameters every update, they have to patch things ;-). But I like the wind-tunnel concept more than the look-up table concept. Sceneries have catched during the past year. And the IXEG 737 is a serious bird. we can't fly as fast as in an NG aircraft, but it's solid work.

yes, super simple to install is my motto. I had used interactive solutions, but it was very heavy to install, maintain, program and use ! And were payware. So I went coding myself my own simple-to-use copilot. My copilot is simply the best free-to-use, easy-to-use, official procedures-compliant and helping copilot you can find. My copilot has got more than 5000 downloads, all versions mixed. Almost 1000 for the IXEG copilot. it's called Speedy Copilot for IXEG 737 Classic in the Speedy Copilot series. Installation is a two-stepper : 1) Drop that into X-Plane Ressources/plugins directory 2) Drop that into \X-Plane 11\Resources\plugins\FlyWithLua\Scripts\ done. All the best, Speedy Copilot_5.pdf

You're right in submitting a bug report. You should update to Son 11.40.

Yes indeed, it's here and you cannot open them.

This aircraft focuss on non basic stuff. You speak of freeware airplane, but none of 'hem has correct electrical circuit nor correct pressurization modelling you know. Regarding Speed Intervention, take a look at the history of the 737, it has been an optionnal feature before newest model numbers. The HOLD, regarding the HOLD, if you are a pilot, you know how to do this, or you can use CWS to be helped. This add-on is a "model", an accurate modellisation of a lot of things. You have to accept that even in the best science laboratory, we use models to represent in a a simplified form the complexicity of life and machines. I was once in a laboratory that published papers only in Science and Nature. Well, we published in top-level journals, but didn''t have perfect models, we had good-enough approximations of what we wanted to show. See the IXEG Classic as a scientific model (that's the case, it was produced by engineers, not aircraft geeks), that should do the trick.

Hi, it's not a bug, it's a feature ;-) The option button at the bottom is a new feature in the version 5.0. If you are a developper, it can be hidden, so that you then will only be able to toggle the options menu via the FlyWihLua menu. For that, you have to open the code, scroll to the end (GUI) and locate the "Options" window frame. You can adjust to your desired size and position (for instance outside of your screen). But that's for developpers only, people who know the Lua code, as it is not documented in the PDF. For people who master FlyWithLua : From : function OPTION_BUTTON(OPTION_WINDOW, x, y) -- THE BUTTON imgui.SetWindowFontScale(1) imgui.Bullet() imgui.TextUnformatted(Current_title) if imgui.Button("[Options]",250,27) or IXEG_FWL_MenuCall then IXEG_FWL_MenuCall = false app_is_active = true float_wnd_set_geometry(OPTION_WINDOW, 200, 820, 900, 200) float_wnd_set_imgui_builder(OPTION_WINDOW, "OPTION_MENU") end end Change that line to your liking : float_wnd_set_geometry(OPTION_WINDOW, 200, 820, 900, 200) But I won't provide more support because of other projects. Hope that helps.

If you wish, I have published the beta version 0.9 of Speedy Copilot for the FlyJSim 732 Twinjet in the utilities.

I would check the FCOM charts and do it manually...

To begin, if you are unsure and if you are not flying online, you can also add a STAR, then direct to the IF of your approach procedure, without transition, as a starter.

Stars are WGS-84 waypoints and the transition here will be called CK901 if it begins at waypoint CK901 for instance. But in some case, the name of the transition can differ from the name of the initial fix of the transition. In Paris LFPO, the transition starting at MOLBA to West-faced ILS or RNP APCH at LFPO is called MOLBA5W. For reference, this is how the different paths to ILS 02L RNAV at ZUCK look on the LIDO chart:

If you feel uncertain about charts depiction and you fly mostly airliners, maybe you could also try the german charts provided by Aerosoft NavDataPro (LIDO charts well suited for airline type of flying, less GA-friendly). There are less charts to crawl in in LIDO than in Jeppesen. As a consequence it's simple. One day access is €3.02 in my country.

Hi, the transition is usually the link from the Initial Approach Fix to the Initial Fix (IF) Well, take for instance ZUCK, the growing airport of the economical area of Chonqing, central China. Take a look at the chart. The transitions to the ILS Z 02 L RNAV are CK900, CK701, CK705, CK513 and CK901. If you are inbound to ILS Z 02L RNAV from QiJang, your flight plan will be QJG3J then (look at the "natural" IAF for you from QGJ) transition CK705 to ILS Z 02L RNAV. But If I use the STAR PROC 2J, don't choose CK705, because this waypoint is not on the PROC 2J path. The later ends at CK900. Select Transition CK900 to ILS Z 02L. It's easier with FZOA in Congo. The RNP 18 has 3 transitions : BEMED ABUGI DETRI. If you use ROPIM1A STAR, your trnsition is ABUGI If you fly the TUXAN 1A, your transition is DETRI.

good to know !! I am in the final process of bringing this new GUI to Speedy Copilot for FFA320 too.

Hi, do you confirm having Lfy With Lua 2.7.11 NG ? edit : yes you did, sorry. At that time, I have no idea, sorry, I don"t have this error. For information I've got XP 11.26. Lua 2.7.11 NG

Thank you , let's hope there is not too much bugs in 5.0 ;-)

I have integrated it and now we have Speedy Copilot 5. It is a great contribution !

Version 5.0 from 2019-02-02 * TonyVier contributed with the idea and material for a new graphical user interface. His great suggestion was reworked and added. * Tuning the copilot volume is now possible. * Tuning the In Flight Entertainment volume is now possible for when the cockpit door is open. * Options are also saved on the fly now : no more need to edit a file to save persistent options. * Current status is displayed at the bottom of the screen. * Speeds bugs are adjusted for VREF on approach, not only for departure now. * V2 call is silenced as it is not said.

yeah, I have not spent time on an UI and instead elected to use the flywithlua menu and focuss on the functionnality. But I'd love to learn how to do it.

I have instead use the following equations : if calageV1 then TakeoffDecision = (calageV1 * 1.5) - 90 end if calageVR then TakeoffRotate = (calageVR * 1.5) - 90 end if calageV2 then TakeoffReference = (calageV2 * 1.5) - 90 end

Thanks for the tip !

I have just included your AMAZING script into Speedy Copilot 737 on my local testing installation. With full reference to you of course.

Yea I see that, it's marvellous ! You just opened my eyes ! Where did you get those [^u0020-u007F]+ ? And did you used dataref tool ?

Great idea... I will not be able to use it without moidification with my Speedy Copilot, because I use the bugs differently for V1 and VR, but I will keep it not too far away to expriment..

ah ok ! it's because Speedy COpilot for IXEG is intended for cold and dark starts... The sequence of actions starts from the preflight checklist. You can run the checklist when ready to start, from the beginning with the first oxygen test trigger. In the Speed Copilot version for another aircraft I have intercepted this situation where you can start with engine running and jump to the appropriate procedure directly. But not in Speedy Copilot for IXEG at that point where you have to do all the procedures from the first item. It's not too hard to encode however, I will think of it for next update (low priority).

Hi all, I have uploaded a new revision of Speedy Copilot with small improvements and bug fixes. (4.3).
