X-RAAS: Runway Awareness and Advisory System View File X-RAAS is an open-source plugin that simulates the Honeywell Runway Awareness and Advisory System. Version 2.0 is a complete from the ground-up rewrite of the original X-RAAS FlyWithLua plugin. Please note that this is not just an upgrade of the old plugin and cannot be simply downloaded and plastered over the old 1.0 version. See below for details on how to install this plugin. INSTALLATION X-RAAS2 is a standalone plugin written in C and as such no longer requires FlyWithLua. To install the plugin, unzip the contents into: <X-Plane>/Resources/plugins. If you have been using X-RAAS 1.0, be sure to remove it from FlyWithLua/Scripts, otherwise you will get strange doubled annunciations. NEW FEATURES FROM VERSION 1.0 X-Plane 10 & 11 compatible New configuration GUI: no need to mess around with config files anymore. The config files method is still supported, refer to section 2.1 of the included user manual for details on how to migrate existing customizations from version 1.0. Much improved performance: no more stuttering when Lua decides to collect garbage on slow systems. No more audio compatibility issues: this resolves audio compatibility issues with 3rd party addons such as Ground Handling Deluxe and the LES SAAB 340A (among others). More sensible automatic scenery alteration detection and scenery data cache rebuild. The cache rebuild is now also much faster. Much more fine-grained control over each RAAS monitor. Nicer text rendering and substitutable fonts & sizes. Ability to switch between "LONG LANDING" and "DEEP LANDING". User manual rewritten in LaTeX with clickable hyperlinks. Much more streamlined embedding into 3rd party aircraft avionics. The avionics integration guide is now a separate PDF manual with much more detail on how fine-tune the embedded software and how it compares to and interacts with a stand-alone installation. DEMONSTRATION VIDEO The video below is from version 1.0, but version 2.0 features virtually all identical annunciations. LICENSE X-RAAS2 is open-source software distributed under the terms of the Common Development and Distribution License ("CDDL"), version 1.0. The license text is included in the ZIP package under Documentation/COPYING. Submitter skiselkov Submitted 02/19/2017 Category Plugins and Utilities

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
