That looked awesome..

FMC Reset feature after 1.1 INOP?
Tom Stian replied to Marder1986's topic in 737-300 Aircraft Systems and Operation
Its working most of the time for me. But sometimes It wont reset for different reasons. A workaround for this is just to enter or reenter your ORIGIN. That is the same as a FMC reset. -
Randomly enable the built-in IXEG failures - LUA script
Tom Stian replied to Tom Stian's topic in General Discussion
New version is up 0.111- Changed the "Chance of failure" to a MTBF logic.- Added a new setting, Failure Severity. 1 = Minor failures, 2 = Minor and Major failures, 3 Minor, Major and Critical failures. -
Randomly enable the built-in IXEG failures - LUA script
Tom Stian replied to Tom Stian's topic in General Discussion
Ill think I go for the 3 failure levels as I ranked above. so basicly level 1 is "You can continue without major issues", 2 is "You should divert ASAP", 3 is "You should divert ASAP, and good luck" -
No, you have to stand still for about 7 minutes when aligning. Set them on NAV and then enter POS on FMC.

[Temporary]IXEG 737 in X-Plane 11 How to get it work
Tom Stian replied to partTimePilot's topic in General Discussion
Hello sir, Take a look here. -
Jan have to answer this. But its many variants of the 733 with different equipment. So that could be the reason. The IXEG 733 is based on Lufthansa's B733.

Randomly enable the built-in IXEG failures - LUA script
Tom Stian replied to Tom Stian's topic in General Discussion
I have tried to rank the failures. Light BATTERY BUS DC BUS 1 and 2 DC STANDBY BUS GENERATOR BUS 1 and 2 MAIN BUS 1 and 2 ENGINE HYD PUMP A and B ELECTRIC HYD PUMP A and B EDP A and B FAST and SLOW LEAK SYSTEM A and B Fast and SLOW LEAK Medium AC STANDBY BUS AC ELECTRONIC 1 and 2 DC ELECTRONIC 1 and 2 ENGINE 1 and 2 FIRE ENGINE 1 and 2 FAILURE OIL PUMP ENGINE 1 and 2 BADASS TRANSFER BUS 1 and 2 HOT BATTERY BUS SWITCHED BATTERY BUS This is what I came up with so far. Im a bit unsure about the HOT BATTERY BUS. Not sure really what the failure do. And if ENGINE FIRE and FAILURES and OIL PUMP ENGINE 1 and 2 should be on medium. All results in engine stop. -
Randomly enable the built-in IXEG failures - LUA script
Tom Stian replied to Tom Stian's topic in General Discussion
Yeah.. That could be a good idea. Thanks for your suggestion. Everything is local in the script. Learned that the hard way Also did some more MTBF testing, now with 10 hours. I see a tendency that the average is slightly below the MTBF. But could be the low amount of samples maybe. I have implemented this in my script now, so only some internal testing left -
Randomly enable the built-in IXEG failures - LUA script
Tom Stian replied to Tom Stian's topic in General Discussion
@mfor I did test out your MTBF rutine and got this result The code I tested with was this local mtbf_hours = 2.5 local counter_WIZVAR = 1 math.randomseed( os.time() ) function failedMTBF() test_WIZVAR = math.random (1 , mtbf_hours*360) if test_WIZVAR == 1 then print ("Failure after " .. math.floor (( counter_WIZVAR * 10 ) / 60 ) .. " min" .. "" ) LogWrite = io.open("MTBF.txt", "a") LogWrite:write( math.floor((counter_WIZVAR * 10) / 60) , "\n" ) LogWrite:flush() LogWrite:close() counter_WIZVAR = 1 else counter_WIZVAR = counter_WIZVAR + 1 end end do_every_frame ("failedMTBF()") I think this looked good.. Will do some more testing and probably include it in the next version. -
Randomly enable the built-in IXEG failures - LUA script
Tom Stian replied to Tom Stian's topic in General Discussion
Im no hardcore programmer. Last time I did "serious" programming was with Turbo Pascal 7.0 When I made this script I had some issues with getting the failures in the same order every time. So this is what I came up with. But your right, my random rutine can be much better. And a good MTBF would be awesome. I will try out your example for the MTBF and see if I can get it to work in my script. -
Looking forward too that release. i dont have any 3D. Only soundlevel and pitch change based on distance
-
interesting, and this will work for online traffic also ?
-
Hi guys (and girls?) I am in early stage of developing a LUA script for adding sounds for other multiplayer aircrafts on VATSIM (should work on IVAO and PE also). Maybe there already exists a script/plugin like this? i dont know. Im not 100% sure if I can release this, since there is a lot of limitations at the moment. I cannot see the difference between a jet or prop aircraft, so all sounds for now is Jet-engine. What do you think?. Should I continue this project ?

Randomly enable the built-in IXEG failures - LUA script
Tom Stian replied to Tom Stian's topic in General Discussion
Just a small (but semi important) update 0.110- Made variables and datarefs unique to avoide conflict with other lua scripts.- You can now enable or disable the script with FlyWithLua menu. Thanks for this suggestion @Cosmopilot -
vSpeed callouts for IXEG 733 - LUA Script
Tom Stian replied to Tom Stian's topic in General Discussion
I have just updated this script to v0.111 v0.111- Made variables and datarefs unique to avoid conflicts with other lua scripts. This wont solve the issue with XPRealistic Pro. XPRealistic Pro is conflicting with all other lua scripts that using sounds. But there is a workaround for it. Upgrade XPRealistic to the latest version and check the manual for the workaround. http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/forum/334-xprealistic-pro/ -
Unselect "Notify me when my license is updated". You find the preferences on the Gizmo tool tray on the right side on your screen. I also have seleceted "update license at sim start"

Ive noticed sometimes that TCAS traffic gets stuck when flying on VATSIM/IVAO. So I have made a LUA script that simply resets all the multiplayer datarefs and clear up the inactive datarefs/stuck traffic. Active multiplayer datarefs will not be affected since I belive they are read-only or instantly updated again after the reset. I will make the script available soon. So IF you have this issue this script may help you.

And you will not see any wind indication on ND if the winds are less then 5kts. Even when you are airborn.

That depends how good you know your aircraft. You should know the different autopilot modes, FMC programming, SIDs and STARs and how to make a proper route/flightplan. If you feel that you master your aircraft, then you should start to learn the communication and procedure that are used on VATSIM. More info here: https://www.vatsim.net/pilot-resource-centre/vatsim-basics You can go to a airport with some traffic and just listen to the communication. When you man your self up and want to try to fly online, find controlled airport with no other traffic and let the ATC know that you are a beginner (important). Then they will help you out if they have time. If everything go wrong the first time, just try again later. Don't be afraid. You will never fly offline again when you see how fun it is to fly online Good luck
