Justin Shannon Posted January 8, 2020 at 05:57 AM Posted January 8, 2020 at 05:57 AM Version 1.1.9.1 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: A new option has been added to the xPilot Settings (within X-Plane) that allows high priority radio messages/alerts to open the Radio Messages window. High priority messages/alerts include, but are not limited to, network disconnect notification, new private message notification and low frame rate warnings. This option is disabled by default. Frame rate notifications are now displayed in a transparent box at the top of the simulator window instead of opening the Radio Messages window. Note: if you have the "high priority messages" option enabled, the window will also open with the frame rate warning message. It is important that you close X-Plane before installing the update, otherwise the X-Plane plugin cannot be properly updated.

Vincenzo Rimola Posted January 13, 2020 at 10:53 AM Posted January 13, 2020 at 10:53 AM Hi is this the death of vatsim? I have not a good pc but i enjoy vatsim. With new release, i can't fly. during 5 minutes I had 50 disconnections. I think is not good. It's ok for those who have a good pc but for the others? Now I try to comeback to 1.1.7 and please let this release active. I think that are more the people who hasn't a good pc and all must be the opportunity to join vatsim.

In X-Plane, when you're below 20fps, you're not flying at 100% sim rate. This is built into X-Plane's algorithms for calculating their flight dynamics model and there's no way to change it. Read more here: https://developer.x-plane.com/2017/10/x-plane-11-10-beta-5-ding-dong-the-fps-nag-is-gone-mostly/ -- while the situation isn't wonderful for those of us operating on tight budgets, that's our own problem, not everyone else's. X-Plane simply wasn't designed to be run at low FPS, particularly on a multiplayer network. This is extremely disruptive to other pilots, and particularly to Air Traffic Controllers, on the network. Pretty soon, ALL approved X-Plane clients will enforce this. XSquawkbox 2.0+ and xPilot 1.1.9+ already do, and Swift is soon to follow suit. Your options are: (1) upgrade hardware. Obviously, this isn't possible for everyone. (2) reduce X-Plane rendering settings. This may include use of LUA scripts which automatically and dynamically adjust rendering settings based on the situation. Google "3jFPS Wizard", "AutoLOD", and others. (3) fly using less CPU-intense software. XP10 may be an option. FSX should be (a) relatively inexpensive to procure, (b) very easy on CPU when compared to X-Plane, and © able to run at low FPS without messing with sim rate. Honorable mention: (4) wait for X-Plane 11.5+, which will switch from OpenGL to Vulkan as a 3D graphics engine, and purportedly will be less CPU-intensive on most machines. (5) some combination of the above. Cheers, -R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Dezulier Posted January 13, 2020 at 06:43 PM Posted January 13, 2020 at 06:43 PM While checking xPilot 1.1.9.1, 3jFPS.lua and CheckFPS.lua with and average speed rate of 53 and a rate of low rate of 1/1000, I observed a warning -not a disconnection- during tile loading. By the way I do not see the transparent windows with frame rate. Where it is supposed to be ? My script record automatically lasting drops <20FPS for 30 s and count them. xPilot warned me for a one minute lasting 19:14:36 - 19:15:39 which hasn't been detected. So there is a discrepancy between xPilot detection, and Check_FPS.lua detection. To find out I modified the script, allowing to increase/decrease the duration of observation of low FPS <20FPS . I go on checking until I can deliver an consistent answer to this mismatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Menshenin 1167442 Posted January 16, 2020 at 03:37 AM Posted January 16, 2020 at 03:37 AM Hello! Thanks for the nice voice options and update. I wanted to ask about my issues with X-Pilot, which I encountered in one of the previous versions (1.1.7). All online traffic is without a landing gear while on the ground, means aircraft just hover at several meters over the ground without visible landing gears. I didn't have this issue before but encountered it recently. I tried both: Blue Bell package and official X-CSL package. However, the problem is still there. Have you heard about this issue? Was it considered in this update or will it be fixed in future updates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Shearman Jr Posted January 16, 2020 at 11:35 AM Posted January 16, 2020 at 11:35 AM You have another pilot client folder in Resources/plugins, or some other AI traffic module in there. Remove it (drag it out to the desktop or whatever) and you should see all animations working fine. Cheers, -R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Wegner 1246445 Posted January 22, 2020 at 05:16 PM Posted January 22, 2020 at 05:16 PM Hey guys, since I updated to 1.1.9.1 my X-Plane 11 is conctantly crashing to desktop. This happens already in the start process after I was choosing an aircraft and wait to load the aircraft. In my logfile it is written: --=={This application has crashed because of the plugin: xPilot}==-- Does someone know what I can do? I already reinstalled xPilot and the CSL files.. Best regards Leon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Shearman Jr Posted January 22, 2020 at 10:50 PM Posted January 22, 2020 at 10:50 PM You have xSwiftBus in there too. Only one Pilot Client should be installed at a time. AI Traffic plugins cause conflicts as well. Take the folder for xSwiftBus out of /Resources/plugins and move it somewhere else. Cheers, -R.

Leon Wegner 1246445 Posted January 23, 2020 at 01:02 AM Posted January 23, 2020 at 01:02 AM Looks like that the issue is gone now, since I removed the xSwiftBus. Keep you updated, when the error occurs again. Regards Leon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
