Christopher Collins Posted July 28, 2015 at 01:09 PM Posted July 28, 2015 at 01:09 PM As promised, the 1.3.0 release for Windows and MacOS X is now available. Read about it here. A Linux 1.3.0b2 will be entering closed beta shortly (not accepting new applicants at this stage - but everybody who indicated Linux in the last round of applications will be included). Enjoy!

Duncan White Posted July 28, 2015 at 11:29 PM Posted July 28, 2015 at 11:29 PM Thanks for all the hard work Chris. I can now fly X-Plane 10 in 64 bit mode & the VATSIM controllers don't hear static anymore when I transmit. Awesome. Duncan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommi Karkkainen 1322309 Posted July 29, 2015 at 07:15 AM Posted July 29, 2015 at 07:15 AM Thank you Chris and everyone who contributed to development and testing. Now the displaying of other planes' callsigns works for me. Helps a lot e.g. when taxiing on busy uncontrolled airports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Collins Posted July 29, 2015 at 12:21 PM Author Posted July 29, 2015 at 12:21 PM Install X-CSL why my x-plane always crash? Without knowing which operating system you're using, the best I can guess is that If you're attempting to load the full X-CSL library, you're probably exhausting your available memory. The full X-CSL is 1GB in size on disk - this gets loaded by XSquawkBox in full during initialization. On my Windows system (which is my main X-Plane test system), When configured to load the full X-CSL, X-Plane is consuming just over 7.4GBs of memory just to get to the QuickFlight Setup - that's before loading any terrain or scenery data. If I proceed and load, say, the FlyJSim 727-200Adv at Kingsford Smith (YSSY), my memory usage peaks out at 9GBs once everything has finished loading and I'm ready to start flying. By comparison, if I load with just the default models, my installation is only using 700MBs when it reaches the QuickFlight Setup screen, and a lean 2.2GBs when fully loaded with the above scenario. Generally, you only want to install part of X-CSL unless you have a LOT of RAM and you're extremely patient (it also takes quite a long time to load the full X-CSL).

Jim Dalgleish Posted July 31, 2015 at 03:19 AM Posted July 31, 2015 at 03:19 AM I am [Mod - Happy Thoughts]uming that there are more capabilities now [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ociated with CSL aircraft as I see mention of "support for newer CSL objects" on the website, but the docomeentation seems to not expand on that. Is there any idea or can you point me in the direction of what features newer CSL objects have? I would like to explore the possibility of creating a CSL set for Helicopters.

Is there any idea or can you point me in the direction of what features newer CSL objects have? I would like to explore the possibility of creating a CSL set for Helicopters. The CSL system is a part of the client I have to admit I barely understand myself right now as all of that functionality comes from libxplanemp - a component we share with the IVAO and PilotEdge client (see https://github.com/wadesworld2112/libxplanemp). In 1.3 we just brought in a fairly important set of changes which fixed rendering, but also added the initial support Ben put together for OBJ based aircraft that are rendered by X-Plane itself (rather than in the libxplanemp code). To the best of my knowledge (which is not definitive in this area by any stretch of the imagination), there's nothing stopping you from going out today and producing a CSL helicopter using the older format. The updates we brought into 1.3.0, as far as I understand, brings us up to parity with X-IvaP and PilotEdge in terms of support for CSL models. I will try to throw some docomeentation on the new CSL stuff together in the CSL kit (which I haven't even looked into yet), but I'll have to work this out backwards from Ben's changes at this point - I'm not sure there's any other docomeentation around for this.

Jim Dalgleish Posted August 2, 2015 at 01:54 AM Posted August 2, 2015 at 01:54 AM Hey Christopher, First before I forget; THANK YOU for working on xSquawkbox and getting it usable again!!! Ok, so I was kinda fishing for features that might have been updated like landing lights visible on the ground or aircraft state datarefs, etc... No worries, I'll keep lurking in the different forums. Cheers, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
