PSX.NET P3D ExternalSim

[GodAtum]

Hi Gary, I've learned that BA don't use taxi lights on their 747s. But would it be possible for you to have that working in externalsim? 

[Gary Oliver]

No.

Dear Gary
If you are around, could you please send me the link to your model? I'd like to try out PSX.net with my Prepar3d installation.  Thank you so much. You products are so great!
Cheers Beat

Hi Gary,

Is there a way to turn off the radio and transponder models being pushed to P3D? We have particular radio and transponder units that connect to P3D. I've tried getting TrafficPSX to send P3Ds radios to PSX but when using externalSim you aren't able to change the frequency - you move it around but after a second it reverts back to the original frequency in PSX. We need the option of ExternalSim to either send the frequencies to go from P3D to PSX or ignore them completely. Is this possible?

The way around it I've found is when doing a frequency change is to close ExternalSim, perform the frequency change, then start up ExternalSim so it uses the new frequency sitting in PSX.

I hope this explains it well enough.

Hey Steve,

Yep there’s a config file entry you have to make that we added in when Joe had the same problem in his Sim

If it’s not obvious in the XML file I’ll dig out the entry when I get to my dev pc

Thanks for the info Garry I found it - I didn't realise there was an XML file on the Router instance as well. For anyone else that needs it: C:\Users\[USER]\AppData\Roaming\PSX.NET\PSX.NET.P3D.ExternalSim.Router is the directory. I'll let you know if I have trouble.

Hi all,

I was flying on VATSIM today, and another pilot told me that it appeared to them as if my P3D aircraft was slewing along the ground at some 500 kn or so. On my system, Aerowinx, P3D, and VatScope all showed a 747 flying along happily at FL390.

Has anyone else experienced this? It's the first time I've heard it

James.

What VATSIM client are you using?

[James H]

Hi Mark,

I use vPilot.

Hi all

In some saved Psx situations, Ive noticed that if I change the time of day in PSX (inst Time page), the 3 P3D clients don't update the time....  Ive tried switching off/on "set zones by flighttrack." (PSX WXR page) , PSX Internet off/on, FS Global Real Weather on/off, etc -

My system:
PSX + PSX.NET.P3D.ExternalSim 2.5.0 >> 3x P3D PC's
Running FS Global Real Weather on P3D PC's  for real time wxr update

It works in most situ's, but a few will not update the 3 P3d client's time....

Not sure what im doing wrong....  any thoughts?

cheers

Is there an updated model which fixes the issue where flaps deploy when the Beacon is set to both? M

Hi Gary/Mark

One Feature Request:

Would it be possible to have an option for ExternalSim to send PSX wxr to P3D for non-realworld wxr flying (Psx and P3d both offline) -   for example, approaches with low cloud base, etc -

right now, Im using FSGW on the p3d pc's and downloaded metar on psx, and it works well, but there's no way to use the psx wxr window as a 'controller'


cheers and thanks for all the great work!

That was actually the option I used with XView when running PSX with X-Plane for teh visuals. XView had an option to injcet PSX's weather into the visuals sim.

In ELITE we're debating with the same problem but it's really not that easy to translate the weather between PSX and P3D. ELITE v9 has a port for P3D ( being used in beta right now ), but not yet injceting real world weather - just weather defined in ELITE's weather menu.

It's ok for reduced visibility operations, but the algorithm to translate between the PSX "coverage" and how to paint it in P3D might be a bit tricky...

Strange issue tonight on VATSIM;

I was running PSX, AFV (6.30) and vPilot (current) as well as ExternalSim 2.5.0 with PTT through AFV.

Everything was normal except

PSX had XPDR on TA/RA but vPilot reported Mode C was NOT active. 

Position updates seemed ok, radio freq and voice were ok.

When I pressed Mode C in vPilot it flickered on briefly but went off again (I assume clobbered from somewhere else).

I tried:

- cycling the transponder in PSX through all settings
- loading a situation in PSX
- restarting vPilot and AFV

Nothing worked.

- then I closed and opened ExternalSim and it was working again.

I was not able to replicate the issue... Very strange. Haven't seen that before.
