Sorry. The magic wand is heavy on FPS and requires intensive tuning that involves multiple restarts of X-Plane as well as submission of log data for analysis by our crack team of X-Plane wizards. We know you don't like that sort of thing, so unfortunately the Magic Wand mod is not available for use by yourself.

2004/2005.... 2D Panels were all the rage, any trick was a good one... "PanelG" ... same thing but not as polished, long since abandoned... http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?showtopic=10110&p=121697

The AMX fighter has the best head effects I've seen from any plugin.. it lead sights into turns and aerobatics beautifully.

Most humans will lead-sight their objective as well. The thinking that we're purely passive and just sit there soaking up the G's is just plain wrong. To get it right the view needs to pan UP when the G's are piled on, as though the pilot is looking into their turn..... The vibrations are a neat effect... if you need something generic. With projects like IXEG it'll just get in the way.

John. Please provide a list of files and folders inside the X-Plane folder are modified during the SkyMAXX installation. This list is required so that users like the Original Poster are able to correctly upgrade X-Plane in future by using the supplied list to guide the X-Plane installer in its decisions about which files to modify, upgrade, restore, etc.. (That's my interpretation of the OP request...)

Upgrade or remove XSquawkbox 64bit.

Both VATSIM and IVAO need to get over their ridiculous non disclosure policies and move to a simple open source model. Their "precious" network protocol is almost entirely human readable and not very difficult to reverse engineer all the way down to their one little "secret" challenge to get onto the network. They claim that it's to protect the quality of the network experience by ensuring that all clients are approved. All they're doing is making the network experience suffer by holding back development progress. -

You spent the cost of X-Plane and got those results. For everything else your machine seems pretty amazing. -
x-httpd - a web server plugin for x-plane.
Ben Russell replied to Ben Russell's topic in Plugin Development
I have added some features to allow other plugins to talk to x-httpd to and have their content served. Using standard X-Plane C SDK functions any other plugin can extend itself using the XPLMSendMessageToPlugin function. Third party plugins have complete control over the data read from and sent to the client. You get the complete http packet to play with. If x-httpd is not installed the third party plugin will continue to operate as normal. x-httpd is an entirely optional enhancement. I've also added some features to Gizmo so we can interact with x-httpd.. We are no longer restricted to simple dataref get/set operations. Anything is possible. Plenty of work remains to make the httpd server code more robust. I'm more interested in integrating it with X-Plane in useful ways at this point. "Correctness" with regards to socket operations and so forth can come a little later. -

Updated Mac plugin attached. Contains web content for the wx control panel in the video above. Very quick hack. x-httpd.x-plugin-13.11.22.0029-Mac.zip -

Running your refresh rate at 144hz will eat some performance. Are you using 3D glasses? -

Weather adjustment page; yes. This project is restricted to simple dataref changes at the moment, more abilities and possibilities will come in future. We seem to be at a stage where multiple parties are interested in extending their product reach to tablets. Hopefully we can focus the work into one web-server plugin to do it instead of a new server and new user config burden for each product. I'm going to create some HTML content for this thing to get the ball rolling. There are a _lot_ of web programmers out there now that are super talented so I would expect to see some cool stuff emerge given time. -

Mac users (32bit and 64bit) can grab a test copy here: https://github.com/benrussell/x-httpd/raw/master/downloads/mac/x-httpd.x-plugin-13.11.20.2323.zip -
Presenting x-httpd, a simple web server plugin for x-plane. x-httpd is open source, written in C and C++. The code is from 2005 so it needs a fair bit of work but it is functional. I have placed the project under the GNU Affero GPL license version 3. (Affero stops people from running a server with custom mods and not sharing the custom server source. This plugin is a server resource, it needs the Affero license variant.) What's x-httpd good for? x-httpd can be used to create web-apps that interact with X-Plane for use on your tablet smart phone or additional monitor. x-httpd does not come with any "cool" web app content at this time. Eventually this plugin should allow for remote IOS content, remote CDU, remote popups, etc, etc. The CRJ already has a built in web server for its Remote CDU functionality. This project gives the community a web server to build similar content with. I know some Javascript and HMTL, how can I use this? Download and install an x-httpd binay when they're made available*. * The plugin still needs a little more work before I want to release a public build. Create your HTML/script content inside the folder X-Plane/resources/plugins/x-httpd.x-plugin/root/html/ Interact with X-Plane using these commands: /get?dref=sim/foo&type=float returns: { result:true, type:"float", value:3.21, dref:"sim/foo" } /set?dref=sim/foo&type=float&val=3.21 returns: {result:true } Do you support Linux? The code is written in a way that should be trivial to port to all three operating systems. The aim of this project is to provide a basic web server that can allow all X Project AIm? Remove the roadblock stopping people from building some awesome remote instruments using modern browsers. Project Source code etc: https://github.com/benrussell/x-httpd

A bit more diversity in Laminars approach would be nice, there's nothing wrong with the textures themselves.... they're just used too often. Plausible though.

You must use the DC-3 in 64bit mode.

If anyone wants to start discussing how accurate the flight model is I strongly suggest that you do most of your analysis in the intended flight regimes. Tweaking the airframe drag or engine power system so that you cant exceed a given altitude is not going to be a difficult patch. Enjoy your 1.0 altitude record while it lasts.

We're aware of the issue. PLEASE POST LOG FILES AND ALL RELEVANT SYSTEM INFO WHEN REPORTING ANY ERROR. More information here: http://forums.x-pilot.com/topic/5685-new-crj-200-acf-file-doesnt-work-with-gizmo/?p=63816 (thread will hopefully be split in future.)
