  1. The iGoConnect plugin has just been updated to version 2.20.17. The update addresses the following issues:
    - Fixed a bug when X-Plane crashed under certain conditions during the flight;
    - Fixed a bug when errors in the Plane Configuration file could cause a crash;
    - Fixed a bug when some Navigraph data could not be obtained in Linux;
    - Improved compatibility with X-Plane 11. Removed downloading winds aloft for US (winds.rwx) as this is no longer supported by Laminar. Global winds aloft data is to be downloaded from the iGoDispatch application;
    - Added compatibility with the newer version of iGoDispatch for Saab (to be released later this year).

    The update is available here:

    Where does the app get Airac?  I am having trouble getting the flight planner to accept some airways and waypoints.

    Aerosoft or Navigraph navdata is included in the iGoConnect plugin. Have you updated it? Please refer to page 7 of the application manual. Let me know if it did not work. Cheers.

  3. okernel. One of the [cool B)] features of the application is dynamic adjustment of CG based on the current weight. The application uses a specific formula to calculate it, and obviously applying the same formula on other planes will produce weird results. )) One thing occurs to me: if people are interested in using the ACARS function for other planes, I could make the CG adjustment optional (with ON by default) in one of the future updates. As soon as I am done with incorporating the real global winds into the application, I could consider it.

    Cheers.

    ... is there any way I can load a coroute from X-Plane (IXEG B737) into the flight plan section?

    This option is not available as yet.

    In the Flightplan section I can only select Runway R16LZ (KROPP) for YSSY, no matter which STAR I select.  YSSY departure runways are OK.  So far this only happens to me for YSSY, other airports seem to be OK.

    okernel, I cannot replicate your problem (see attached). Could this be a problem with updated navdata (mine is a couple of AIRACs old)?

    Cheers.

  5. cmbaviator. The application currently uses the full winds aloft data for US downloaded from the winds.rwx file. For the rest of the world, it uses X-Plane datarefs. In fact, I shouldn't have said that I am stuck with the GRIB file. I am creating my own API to read these files. It is moving ahead, but moving slowly. Patience... ))) Regards.

  6. Rodeo. The application was specifically designed for this plane. CoG is calculated based on a real Load and Trim Sheet but is slightly adjusted to match the IXEG's default %MAC at DOW. The weights also match the model (please correct me if you find that this is not the case). So, it should give you a plausible values to be used in IXEG.

    Fuel and loads can be set directly from the application. Another advantage is that the application, if connected through the ACARS function, is monitoring the plane's current weight and constantly adjusts your CoG (or to be exact the CG offset) during the flight.

    Please let me know if you have other questions. Cheers.

  7. Version 1.1 has just been released. It includes the following changes:

    • iPhone version added! Please note that although it is compatible with iPhone 4s, due to resolution limitations some panels are not well optimized for this model.
    • Compatible with iOS 10.
    • Fixed a bug when distance was not calculated correctly if a SID included Heading to manual termination and Course from a fix to manual termination.
    • Fixed a bug that sometimes crashed the METAR panel.
    • Fixed a bug that caused clouds not being drawn correctly in iOS 10.
    • Some UI has been changed to make the application more intuitive for those who use it for the first time.

    Please note that I have updated the application manual. It includes a section on Troubleshooting the TCP connection where I tried to explain potential issues with the connection and how they should be addressed. I strongly encourage you to read the manual, especially for the iPhone version. The manuals can be downloaded either from the application (the Settings panel) or from here:

    iPad: http://www.igoapp.ca/resources/files/igodispatch_b733_manual.pdf

    iPhone: http://www.igoapp.ca/resources/files/igodispatch_b733_manual_phone.pdf

    If you have noticed any bugs or still experience any problems, please send me an email from the application. This would help expedite the response.

    Hope you will enjoy it!

    Donoscar, we can move this discussion to the iGoDispatch thread, if you have questions. I just wanted to make a point that there is nothing wrong with the plane itself that would prevent third party developers from implementing this feature with IXEG if they wanted to. Cheers!

    I guess I could try PFPX but I think due to issues some people were seeing the developers stopped all imports of coroutes

    This is not correct. iGoDispatch, for instance, can export co-routes to IXEG without problems.

    ...got no cabin announcements...

    Do you have your iPad sound on? Do you have ACARS switch on? Announcements are enabled only when ACARS switch is on

    ...no performance review...

    Download the performance report after you completed the flight or during the flight and before reloading the plane or exiting X-Plane.

    ... crashes x-plane on exit every time...

    In the last 2 years, this is the first time I have received a report that the application crashes X-Plane. What makes you think that it is because of the iGoConnect plugin? Can you please attach your Log.txt file?

    Thank you!

    Hello,

    I purchased iGoDispatch today. I installed iGoConnect as prescribed in the manual. But the app cannot connect to x-plane. I cannot enter an airport, and I cannot get any ACARS connection. On my Mac,the firewall is desactivated in the prefs. Thanks for your assistance.

    Daniel.

    danhenri. Thanks a lot for purchasing the application. Hope you will enjoy it. Sorry that you have an issue, we will be able to solve it. For a start, please send me in a PM a screenshot of your Settings panel of the application and your Log.txt file. Cheers.

  12. I have identified a bug that affects calculation of distance in flight plans with final SID waypoints being Heading to Manual Termination or Course from a fix to manual termination (e.g., CYOW). The bug has been located and will be fixed in the next update. Meanwhile, you may avoid it by not selecting such SIDs. Sorry for inconvenience!

  13. If you use third-party firewalls, they have their own procedures of adding Ports to TCP connections that may differ from those that I provide in my manual. You need to follow their specific instructions.

    For example, if you have McAfee in Windows, follow these steps:

    1) Open McAfee Total Protection;

    2) Open Web and Email Protection;

    3) Open Firewall;

    4) Open Ports and System Services;

    5) Click Add;

    6) System Service Name: iGoDispatch. Local TCP/IP Ports: 7767. Open ports to: All PCs. Forward port activity: checked.

    7) Click Save.

    This should make it.

    Cheers,

    Igor

  14. Rodeo. I have to admit, I do not know whether and to what extent, it is compatible with iOS emulators. From what I am reading about iPadian, it is only good for a number of applications and not for all. From this perspective, iGD was not specifically developed to be compatible with simulators. So, I cannot guarantee anything. A desktop version would be more reliable, possibility of which is, say.... very likely.

    HI ALL,

    New IXEG 737 user.  Looks like its been a while since someone posted here but I figure I would check.  Anyone know if any third party or other MAC calculators came out yet for this bird?  IOS preferred but will take anything at this time.

    Been searching the internets for a while but no luck so far.

    Vlodek9. This is what you were probably looking for.

    Cheers.

  16. The application has been released and is available in App Store (search for iGoDispatch). As mentioned before, only the iPad version is available at the moment; the iPhone version will be released later this year.

    Please note that the application requires iGoConnect plugin to connect to X-Plane via a WiFi TCP connection. The plugin is compatible with Windows, Mac (10.7 or higher) and Linux. The plugin can be downloaded from here:

    If you have an issue connecting to X-Plane, check whether the TCP Port used by the plugin is not blocked by your Firewall. The manual explains how to open the port for the plugin.

    The application and plugin manual can be downloaded from here:

    Hope you will enjoy it!
