  1. iGoDispatch for CRJ-200 (iPad)

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by iGoApp

    The application will be updated to version 2.4 within the next couple of days. Changes include:

    • Improved flight performance report;
    • Fixed a bug with loading cargo; and
    • Added Brazilian Portuguese to inflight announcements.

    Note that the new version requires an update to the iGoConnect plugin (v. 2.10.15) to be fully operational. You may download it here:

    Please let me know if you have noticed any bugs.

    Cheers.

  4. iGoDispatch for IXEG's Boeing-733

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hello, IXEG pilots.

    After almost a year of development, I am close to finishing beta-testing of my iOS application for this great plane - iGoDispatch for IXEG's B733. This is a planning tool that includes a range of options, such as :

    • creating a flight plan and uploading it to FMC as a co-route;
    • estimating the required fuel taking into account X-Plane winds aloft (the first release will take into account winds aloft in US and the update is intended to include the grib wind data to be available in X-Plane 10.50) ;
    • loading the plane with passengers, cargo and fuel;
    • estimating and dynamically adjusting the CG offset during the flight;
    • monitoring the flight on the map;
    • creating a report on your flight performance;
    • adding in-flight public announcements in 7 languages.

    I intend to release the iPad version of the application by end of summer. Versions for iPhone and iWatch are expected to be released later this year.

    Hope it will be a valuable addition to this plane!

  9. Method to save waypoints in FMC

    To create a company route create a file with text editor in "X-Plane 10\Aircraft\X-Aviation\IXEG 737 Classic\coroutes\LIRFLKPR.fpl" that looks like this :

    LIRF TIMOV UZ242 SOVAN UL995 AMTEL DCT OMAKU UT558 LUMAV UM726 KOGOL UN871 NENUM UZ39 DOMAL Z39 GOSEK LKPR

    Then you can load it in the FMC by entering the basename of the file "LIRFLKPR" in my case into the coroute input box on the RTE page.

    No, I was looking for the actual piece of code that could be used in a third-party plugin. Thanks anyways. Do you know if the plan text can include SIDs, STARs and approaches? Cheers.

    Guys, I agree with you. Planning offline would be ideal. There were just a number of requests asking to provide with an ability to use up-to-date navdata from Navigraph or Aerosoft. Besides, such navdata is required for the next iGoDispatch application (not Saab or CRJ) that will take advantage of its SID, STAR and Airways information. Linking the application to the navdata through the plugin appears to be the only viable option at this moment. One thing I may consider doing later is linking to the default XPlane navdata if there is no connection with XP. I can incorporate the default database right into the application (which I am not allowed to do for the Aerosoft or Navigraph datasets). In this case, the user has an option of doing planning offline and using an outdated dataset or online and using an updated one. 

    Thank you all for using the application!

    Clayton. I am glad it worked!

    As I have previously indicated, there will be a major update coming later this year that would require updating both the application and the plugin. I will try to make sure that a proper warning message alerts you if the plugin has not been updated yet. For this one, I had an option to cancel calling the server (plugin) after a certain amount of time, say 30 seconds. I decided not to do it in case some people have slow connection. Cancelling communication after, say, 2 minutes would also defeat its purpose: who would want to wait that long? So, I took a risk of keeping things as they are now. In fact, the transition went smoother than I originally thought.

    Cheers!

    In a few days, the iGoDispatch application will be updated to version 2.3. The application will now use the Aerosoft navdata instead of the default one coming with X-Plane. The navdata will be included in the iGoConnect plugin. Therefore, it will also be required to update the plugin for the application to work properly (the updated iGoConnect plugin will be available at the same time).

    The Aerosoft's NavDataPro app is to be updated soon. When using NavDataPro, select "iGoDispatch (X-Plane)" from the list of add-ons and select the folder where the iGoConnect plugin is located (/X-Plane folder/Resources/plugins/iGoConnect/). 

    The application should also be compatible with the following Navigraph dataset: "X-Plane GNS430, 777 Worldliner (Ext/Prof), Flightfactor B757 Professional...". You can manually install the dataset by copying and pasting the folder "navdata" to the iGoConnect folder.

    Planning a flight with the application now requires connection with X-Plane (i.e. X-Plane must be running on your computer). This is the only disadvantage related to the update. But this is a tradeoff that had to be made to ensure that the most recent navdata is always used.

    The next major update will be coming this summer. The flight performance analysis will be completely redone.

    Enjoy the flight!

  17. Saab crashing

    It is not the plugin that crashes the plane. The plugin itself works great. It is the Saab_340_Xsaitekpanels.lua file that is a problem. Or to be exact a few lines in it. I wrote that code but never had time to fix the bugs.

    Vantskruv. Let me explain how iGoDispatch deals with it:

    We need to calculate %MAC with certain weight. Instead of determining arms and weights and adding all the moments of mass together, we will use Mass Index.

    1) We know (from the actual Mass and Balance docs) that the DOI (Index at DOW, i.e. 17,132) is 26. Now, let us say we have 3 males in Zone A and 3 males in Zone B (i.e. 6 people with weight 200 lb each in the Forward Zones), and 7 males in the Aft Zones, C and D (totalling 1400 lb). Forward index for 6 people is -8 and Aft Index for 7 people is +13. Our current index is 26-8+13 = 31. Let us assume, we have 364 lb in the first cargo compartment (index +8) and 135 lb in the second compartment (index +4). Our total index now is 43. The Weight and Balance Chart shows that at index of 43 and weight of 20,231 lb, %MAC is 27.3. Let us add 3,016 lb of fuel. This is index +1. Our current %MAC is: Index 44 at 23,237 lb (at the moment the calculated fuel consumption is 10 lb before the take-off needed for engine start-up; therefore we extracted 10 lb) = 28.44113%.

    2) Our %MAC at DOW is 14.49. We can calculate the distance from LEMAC to the DOW point: (MAC * MACDOW / 100) = 82.07 * 0.1449 = 11.89 in.

    The distance from LEMAC to the new loaded CG point is 82.07 * 0.2844113 = 23.34 in.

    And the CG offset is 23.34 - 11.89 = 11.44 inches aft.

    Unfortunately, I cannot share the actual Weight and Balance Chart that I use in the application.

    Hope, it made sense.

    A new update has been submitted to Apple and will be released within a few days. Changes include:

    • Fixed Speech Rate in iOS9. Apple has changed the way it handles the speech rate (speed) in a new iOS. What sounds normal in iOS8 is very slow in iOS9. The rate varies now based on the iOS version.
    • Added Swedish to the languages of Public Announcements.
    • Fixed truncated labels.
    • Fixed flight time announcement. The "flight attendant" now announces time from Departure to Destination (as it should be) not including time to Alternate.
    Regards.

    iGoDispatch v2 has just been released. The changes include:


    • Added compatibility with iPhone
    • Updated airport database
    • Added an option to switch between tabs by swiping the screen (convenient when you use iPhone)
    • Bug fixes

    I also thought that the application would benefit from some funny stuff added. So, I included inflight public announcements in several languages.

    IMPORTANT: You need to download and install iGoConnect plugin version 1.4.6:
