PSX.NET.vPilot

[Hammerstan]

If your PSX server is on a different computer, install the plugin, run vPilot, then close vPilot after 10+ seconds. Then go to this directory which contains the XML settings file where you can edit the PSX server IP within:
%appdata%\PSX.NET\PSX.NET.vPilot

I cant locate this file.  Anyone able to offer any suggestions?

[Gary Oliver]

I type %appdata% in the start-run box and then it's psx.net and in there.

Updated to V2 - This stops the TCAS traffic jumping around (a degree is not a radian)

Using the new file now on a flight from CVG to IAH. TCAS targets are rock solid. No "jumping".

Hello all,

I've written a plugin for vPilot that will insert the appropriate VATSIM traffic into the PSX TCAS.

Now available for beta testing:
Download here

To install
Extract and copy the 'PSX.NET.vPilot.dll' file inside the ZIP to:
%localappdata%\vPilot\Plugins

If your PSX server is on a different computer, install the plugin, run vPilot, then close vPilot after 10+ seconds. Then go to this directory which contains the XML settings file where you can edit the PSX server IP within:
%appdata%\PSX.NET\PSX.NET.vPilot

(If you're unsure how to use the % paths, just copy it into the File Explorer address bar and hit enter)

Please let me know how well it works. When working, it'll look like this (link).

Hey Mark - finally got it working after many many days of tinkering. Any chance to update the first post stating that indeed we still need "." as decimator instead of "," which is not the default in many regions.


With that changed it works as a charm 👍

Thanks for a great add on.

I'll update it this week to support ,

Kurt,

Can you try

for me?

PS: don't forget to right click properties on the DLL and click Unblock when you have copied into the plugins directory.

Hi Gary - happy to report that the new DLL works no matter if "." or"," is set as decimal separator.

Well done - thanks

This was the missing piece to the puzzle!  All working now - excellent, thanks

Awesome plugin! Got it working after reading this thread.

Question:
Which DLL is the correct one? Because with the 'DecimalFix' version, I still needed to change the Windows 11 Intl.cpl Decimal settings to . (point) instead of , (comma):

Debug from vPilot

Thank you very much for this plugin Gary. With the DecimalFix edition, I still see the comma as Decimal Symbol in the values:

I flew online for the first time in 18 months and had a problem tuning ATC frequencies. Any frequencies ending in a 5, such as 118.055 were correctly tuned in PSX but vPilot showed it as 118.050, rounding the 5 down to a zero. I had to disconnect in the end as I couldn't communicate on various frequencies either by voice or by text. The vPilot behaviour is the same either connected or disconnected from Vatsim.

I'm using vPilot 3.7.0, PSX.NET.P3D.ExternalSim.Router 2.5.0, and have the latest PSX.NET.vPilot.dll unblocked and in the correct folder.

Examples:
118.005 (PSX) shows as 118.000 (vPilot)
118.015 (PSX) shows as 118.010 (vPilot)
118.025 is fine
118.035 (PSX) shows as 118.030 (vPilot)
118.055 (PSX) shows as 118.050 (vPilot)
and so on...

Can anyone help?

Thanks, M.

Martin,

This is similar to a problem that was experienced with MSFS.  Gary posted an update earlier to fix the MSFS problem.

The only solution is for Gary to come in and apply the same fix to P3d.

Hopefully Gary see this post and post a fix.

(this is untested as I don't have P3D installed)

PSX.NET.P3D.ExternalSim (if you have the latest version 2.5.0) has a setting to disable radio injection. If you edit ...\AppData\Roaming\PSX.NET\PSX.NET.P3D.ExternalSim.Router\PSX.NET.P3D.ExternalSim.Router.xml and set DisableRadioInjection to true, you should then be able to use the normal vPilot commands (e.g ".com1 123.450") to tune the VATSIM radio.

PSX.NET.P3D.ExternalSim[/url] (if you have the latest version 2.5.0) has a setting to disable radio injection.

Thanks Macro. I didn't know about the .com1 option - I've always hidden vPilot and changed frequency from PSX - but it works as you describe. I've not edited the Router.xml as I want to be able to change frequencies easily. So when necessary I go to vPilot and type, and it doesn't seem to be overridden by ExternalSim which is great. M

Sorry to bump this thread, but I still have problems using this plugin: the DecimalFix version doesn't seem to work without changing the system to use a period "." as decimal separator. Maybe I've overlooked a setting somewhere?

I did use the https://www.dropbox.com/s/pxpzbz4eyphzorf/DecimalFix.zip?dl=1 version, doesn't seem to do the trick unfortunately, so I'm probably doing it wrong :-)
