Version 1.1.4.0 of xPilot is now available for download from the web site, or via the automatic update utility built into the pilot client.

 

The following items were added or fixed in this version:

 

  • Added the ability to bind a joystick button and/or keyboard key for your PTT within X-Plane ("xpilot/ptt" command). This should allow VR users to bind a PTT button on their VR device
  • Increased dataref refresh rate from 1hz to 5hz (this makes things like switching your com radio frequency a bit quicker)
  • Implemented plugin version validation. You will be alerted within the main xPilot window if your plugin version is out of date.
  • Network CID and p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word are now trimmed of extra whitespace characters
  • Fixed an issue that could cause an unhandled exception if the observer callsign length was too long

 

It is important that you close X-Plane before installing the update, otherwise the X-Plane plugin cannot be properly updated.

Hi for some reason with this version we have planes now half under the ground.

 

I was streaming the previous version and everything was fine, shutdown and rebooted and updated prior to the next stream and all aircraft were half in the ground. A few of my friends updated also and got the same problem. We stopped one guy from updating and his aircraft remained at the right height.

 

Link to show the aircraft:

 

Cheers

Sean

Oops, that is probably my fault. I will have a fix in a short order.

All CSL firmly rooted on terra-firma with 1.1.4.1. I'm not sure what's with the B747 & A330 floating there; I've seen the BAW B747 floating at different airports - probably CSL package related.

Can you post the respective NetworkLog and PluginLog for this connection session? They can be found in the xPilot app directory. Also include the callsigns if the affected aircraft; I can’t make them out in the screenshot.

Justin,

 

Does the message board accept attachments? I'm unable to post the logs in it's entirety.

Callsigns were BAW47C & the A330 was ASY121.

Do you have a Dropbox or access to another file sharing service that you can upload them to?

Just to clear the air; i meant "firmly rooted" as in the sunken CSL issue that cropped up with the 1.1.4.0 update was now fixed with the 1.1.4.1 update. The only anomaly I noticed was the 2 oddball airplanes afloat. With regards to the BA 747; I've noticed that floating CSL even after 1.1.0.6 at various airports i.e EGKK, EGLL and now a few hours ago at EDDF.

I'm quite certain it has nothing to do with xPilot.

 

Thank you very much for taking the time & effort to work the fixes!

I looked at your NetworkLog file and it's behaving like it should. The pilot client that these two users are using isn't sending the correct "on_ground" flag in the aircraft configuration packet. Even though these planes are on the ground, because xPilot sees the "on_ground" flag as false, it doesn't know to clamp them to the ground.

That's interesting! If it's of any use - both users run full motion or non-standard desktop sims...

Would it break anything to override the on_ground flag value if groundspeed is less than, say, 35 knots?
