Assign YAW as usual, and nosewheel to an other axis.

I will be in front of my main computer next tuesday only. New datarefs are probably strings, and should not affect smartcopilot. This one is interesting: "Various fixes to sound engine. Some sounds being heard when they should not and vice versa", because it could solve the guard caps problem.

Hi skiselkov, I join here a file without weather (for a first test, set your weather on CAVOK before launching the connection, then with the same weather injector on both side), and without most of stock engines datarefs. They are overriden by custom dararefs. Values of engines are computed by each plugin and does not match (as simratio are not the same on each side). What will happen after a long fly about predictions and gross weight (FF and fuel used are not the same)? Look at your ping and frame rate when freeze occurs. Ping over 100ms and framerate below 25 fps could be the problem. The P key is synchronized. So you can pause both sims, modify your settings if necessary and leave the pause. Also, if you have the Sundog plugins, try without them. Claude. smartcopilot.cfg

Deleting the preferences folder and plugins should be enough. My advice is a little too late. Anyway, it's a happy end.

Thank you Sir, This morning, after a fresh boot of the whole thing, my NAVs radio are ok.

Hi friends, With a such long distance, success is not guaranteed. To understand what happen between your computers, have look on the ping (displayed on the smartco popup), launch a tracert command in a CMD window, or use this site: http://ping.eu/traceroute/ Happy landings.

I don't know why. Probably a conflict plugin. You should have a look in your log.txt, and have a try removing not necessaries plugins.

Thank you for your time Jan. My bad, i am unclear. The pictures above are not related to the AP. I should have open an other thread. I am at LFMN, NAV1 and 2 on 109.20 (CGS). Only NAV 2 catch CGS. Probably not normal. Claude.

I am on ground, start engine running, NAV1 don't receive any frequency, NAV2 does. See pictures.

Thank you, Of course. I have read somewhere (may be smartcockpit) that the transfer was done with FD. Both FD on = left side. One FD on = NAV of this side..

Autopilot A. If i understand well, if i switch the AP from A to B, i could use NAV2. With both FD on, or only the right one? The tutorial flight 2 page 7 is unclear for me. Is FCC A (the master) = AP A?

Flicker on the slave's throttle is fixed. If you start cold and dark, don't use the GPU (APU is ok). I miss a couple of datarefs..For the slave, the GPU appear, but, the avallable annunciator stay dark. Nothing i can do without a help of the devs. smartcopilot.zip

Left FD is off. Right FD is up. I should be able to fly with the AP on VOR-LOC with the NAV2 frequency. Do i miss something, or is it non implemented? Claude.

Hi frankbyte, I know, it's more to pay, but the best combo is FSGRW and RWC. Should be even better with 10.50.

Hi, I have done a first small complete flight (1 hour about) with a copilot, from cold and dark. Nils, you can eat your shoes. Cristiano, you can kiss me. One problem though, at some point the left CDU was unable to display the leg page. Probably a bug of the plane, not of smartco. I have done improvements of the configuration file : Don't use any axis for speed brakes. Only use mouse or buttons. If the master have an axis for the tiller, it can be used during the push back. From master to slave, fuel and payload are synchronized (at least starting cold and dark). Now doable after the connection. Also, always by master only, wiglets and gauges (in Preferences) are synchronized. The access door of manual extension gear does not work. (as guards). Each pilot have to open it. Remaining problems : Guards and gear door, i suspect a sound problem. Only devs can do something (smartco is on their to-do list) Spring loaded switches and knobs (APU, trims, clock), something is doable by the devs, as such switches and knobs works properly with the Saab. They are driven by 2 datarefs, one for the state of the button/switch, one for their movement. Some non implemented features we found during the flight : In plan mode, step on the right Leg page does not work. The Clock buttons (non animated) of the MCP are tied with the CHR button of the clock. Not sure, but buttons of the MCP launch the timer for block to block and in flight time, the CHR launch a separate timer. The month/year display 87. The hold/run/reset switch of the clock does nothing. A second transponder code is not stored. The switch ½ on the transponder panel only change the display ATC 1 to ATC 2. PS: what is the use of: ixeg/733/misc/my_weapon1_x, 1_y etc? Nils, please, go and test/improve it, easy if you have a lan with 2 computers. Claude. smartcopilot.zip

Completely, probably not, but descently for sure. If you wear boots: yum yum. Claude.

2019-08-02: An update for SmartCo 3.0.0 2017/08/25 A little update for BetterPushback 0.44 and above 2017/07/22 skiselkov did a hard work to give us his BetterPushback smartcopilot compatible. Please, read the readme. Tested with X Plane 11 and the 1.2 release. It's here as usual: https://sky4crew.com/download/ 2017/07/01 Only tested with X Plane 10, and the new plugin (2.07) https://sky4crew.com/download/ Fixed a bug with throttle. Tfc buttons synchronized. seats are synch. We can go to the toilets. A new one, cabin door, (but no joy with cargo), Winglets, gauges, eyebrow Master only: Ground Services tab, can (and must) set fuel, payload and CG. No more flicker with buttons and knobs spring loaded (APU switch, rudder trim knob, fire test ...........) standby altimeter As before, nothing to do with the guards, Init Pos by captain only). Waiting for a fix, you can use EZ Pushback (By master) If you are newbie with smartco, read the readme.

Since my first release, CTOT and FD in case of TOGA are broken for the slave. Fixed. New commands in the xjoymap file if you use it: APCP, pitch wheel and turn knob. Claude. Smartco.zip

I can read fluently in English, but it’s a pain to write. Your translation of my global English in correct English is right. I don’t know why, but there is no Saab engineer in my address book. A real pilot could help. On the smartcockpit site is the Saab 340B. This is my understanding: as the turn knob drives the FD/AP, if AP is on NAV mode, it should switch to HDG mode as stated in your doc. In fact, i am just intrigued and curious, and can live without this knowledge, and the sim as it is. Your simulation is great, as the support is. Thank You. Claude.

Ok, but why those 2 heading bugs, in the same area of the cockpit to do the same job ?

I also have a problem with the Turn Knob (System page 194). Turning this knob, If in Nav mode, the AP should switch automatically to Heading Mode. It does'nt. Do i miss something ? The UP-Dn Pitch Wheel switch from climb to VS.

Thank you for your quick answer. I understand better.

Hello bowingic, You have FSGRW running on a server PC. How can you inject metar and wind files to 3 clients simultaenously?

I think it is on the todo list. It's probably stated somewhere here: For some reason, i have not yet bought the bird, but i will have a try.. In fact: are the CDU keys "synchronisabled" ? If they are, we can expect a happy end.

Flying this bird with a crew of 2 is a pleasure. If you need help, don't hesitate. PS: such a file is on the todo list of the devs of IXEG. Waiting their file, I will have a try for the 737.
