What is X-RAAS/RAAS? X-RAAS is a simulation of the Honeywell Runway Awareness and Advisory System(*), an extension to the EGPWS. If you've ever seen cockpit videos where some robotic voice announces something like 'APPROACHING 09 RIGHT' or 'ON RUNWAY 09 RIGHT', that's RAAS. What's the point of this post? I've been hard at work on X-RAAS version 2.0. Basically, this is a from the ground up rewrite of X-RAAS 1.0, because I wasn't satisfied with the Lua scripting performance and limitations. As a consequence, X-RAAS 2.0 is written in C and is instead compiled as a native binary plugin with no dependencies on anything else. We retain all features from X-RAAS 1.0 (refer to link above), as well as get some new ones: Configuration GUI: no need to hack around with config files anymore. Everything can be set up through an easy to use graphical user interface. X-Plane 11 compatibility. Much better performance: no more stuttering when Lua decides to collect garbage. Resolved all audio compatibility issues: we now use a dedicate OpenAL context, so no more compatibility issues with JAR's GroundHandling and the LES SAAB 340A. Ability to selectively enable/disable each monitoring function. Much nicer text rendering and substitutable fonts. Ability to change the 'LONG LANDING' into the 'DEEP LANDING' annunciation. This is a call for alpha/beta testers. The code is very nearly finished and is usable for day-to-day flying, but there is always potential for pitfalls. Given that this is written in C, bugs can lead to crashing the simulator. As such, the beta release is only suitable for people who are not afraid to see the occasional crash and are willing to provide testing feedback, such as explaining what you did, what settings you were using, willing to supply log files / crash dumps, etc. If you are not turned off by this, head over to https://github.com/skiselkov/X-RAAS2/releases, grab the latest X-RAAS2.zip and go flying! Note to aircraft developers If you'd like to integrate X-RAAS into your avionics package, you are quite welcome to do so! X-RAAS can feed you visual alerts for display on the ND, configuring the stabilized approach monitor and more. The installation package includes an avionics integration guide in the Documentation folder to guide you in the process (or just message me, I'll be happy to help). You can also grab the source from Github and build an embeddable version, so you can ship X-RAAS with your product. (*) More accurately, Honeywell SmartRunway and SmartLanding.- 9 replies
