FiFLi add-on - First officer and Flight attendant for PSX - beta 0.77

[HercMighty]

"you mean to give choice: if pax then DK DOOR, freighter: something else ?"

Exactly!

Here is latest FiFLi beta 0.54 :-))) !

I have added two more audio dialog files, so downloading complete package is recommended !

News are:

- added few more First officer cockpit preflight set-up actions - these actions start automatically after you rotate FLT DK DOOR selector to UNLKD and release it. Also when you do this boarding will start. You will hear First officer actions like:
   - announcing he is going to do a walk around (this will take cca 10+       minutes)
   - announcing he is back from walk around,
   - performing voice recorder test,
   - performing Fire Test,
   - testing the oxygen,
   - testing weather radar on his and Captain side,
   - announcing doors are closing (after the boarding is complete).

- added replacement option for freighters who doesn't have the FLT DK DOOR selector ! Switches on the Center Audio panel are acting as the FLT DK DOOR selector switch:
   - Switch "INT" as FLT DK DOOR selector to UNLKD,
    - Switch "R/T" as FLT DK DOOR selector to DENY,

Best regards !

Here is latest FiFLi beta 0.55 :-)

Few news here, our First Officer has become even more usefull after he has returned from his flight school, he will now help you with:
- "before start" actions after beacon is turned on, he will check if you forgot to do some of your "before start" items and he will do his (he assumes that you called for "Before start checklist")and after that he will be ready for your command to pull engine start switch after you move fuel control switch to run:
   - turns on APU and connects generators,
   - sets hydraulic system,
   - sets fuel system,
   - sets packs,
   - after you move fuel control switch to run he will pull  matching engine       start switch .

Hope you will find these new FO actions useful :-)))

Hi Vito,
And thanks for your continuous support !

I just have a quick request, I have no idea if it is complicated or not, so I'm asking just in case.

During his before start actions, the FO sets the hydraulics panel, putting Demand pumps 1-3 on AUTO, and number 4 on AUX.
But on the aircraft I use (G-CIVZ), it is equipped with an AUX pump on circuit 1, and I think in that case, it should be set to AUX instead of AUTO. I don't know if you could take that option into account (either through an auto detection of the aircraft option, or an option in your interface).

Anyway, thanks for all your efforts !

Hi Vito,    Thank you for your  efforts.

Whenever I use FIFI PSX starts to not respond with a message at the top saying "PSX not responding", and therefore  will not accept any keyboard or mouse inputs.

As soon as I close FIFI the normal PSX returns to full use.

Is it something I am doing wrong?

Cheers
Derek

Hi Derek, sorry to hear that you have problem with FiFLi. I assume that you use latest version (0.57). Similar problems were rectified since version 0.2. Can you tell me if this is happening every time or sporadically ? When this freezing starts, does it start just when you click on connection button in FiFLi ? Do you use FiFLi over network (from other computer) ? Does anybody else have a problem with freezing again ?

best regards

Hi Charles !

Re installed latest version. Problem immediately arises on loading and connecting FiFli.
The program is not run over the network either as local host or IP address.

Any body who has helped me with installing add ons will attest to the fact that it will be something simple that I am doing wrong :roll:  so please be understanding!

Kind regards

Derek

Hi Derek ! Does it start freezing immediately after you check button "Connect me to PSX" ? Do you have maybe antivirus on something else running on your system that maybe interfere with FiFLi trying to connect ? Other add-ons are working  - connecting to PSX normally ?

Installation: just unpack from zip file to the directory of your choice and preserve directory structure found in zip file.

thanks !

Takes a while to connect. Then PSX freezes. Loads with a plain "Boeing Brown" background
and then instruments turn on. If PSX is sent to the task bar it takes a delayed time to load on screen. No anti viruses should be causing a problem and all other addons work fine except ADAPTPSX which will not release from the task bar and will not print (old problem)

Ok, here is what we do ... Try to download FiFLi from this link:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/o9jif4ttyf9lu69/FiFLi_test_1.jar?dl=0

This is version 0.58 - A, it is version with disabled all functions except one that connects to PSX.
Try it and report if the connection is successful and PSX works normally .

Thank you Vito


Connects immediately and no ongoing problems.

Vito   New program very slow to connect and affects slow response from PSX  i.e keypad change of view.  Also variable messages of "PSX not responding"

With testC jar the first officer did not respond till beacon was switched on and the hydraulic switch and other actions occurred. There was no sound.

Thanx for all your efforts

Cheers
Derek
