Lorby-SI Payware

Hello. Since two day i can't download data from live fire. I have the error "TLS 1.2 connection cannot be implemented". Do you know where it come from ? Also I download the data from the site and when i put them in FFX i have an other error message 9 times out of 10 "file empty, try again later, this is due to a problem on the nasa serverfile empty". It also dosen't work with files who had work before but sometime it's works one time i don't know why. I know that the filenames and URLs used for the download are subject to change but there is a problem with the url ore the files ? Do you know what is the url i need to put inside FFX to have the data again ? …

Hi Lorby, Could it be possible to use weather injection via ASP3D's API to simulate smoke and pyrocumulus in FireFighterX? It might improve performance over large fires to use clouds instead of smoke emitters... just a thought. BTW: Screenshots! Best, sg

Hello Oliver, Just a question, is there a version in preparation for FS2020, are there projects already in progress maybe ? 🙂 Thank you in advance and always on top of the app, latest picture taken in France 2 days ago on the IVAO network. 😉

Hi Oliver I use p3dv4.5 last HFix CPX run in administrator mode. In CPX, I can set the eyepoint to current position, but not the zoom value I'm in VCockpit with zoom to 0.70 as writed in manual. I synchronise CPX by Adjust value of the zoom to correspond with the zoom value of P3D I set the zoom in CPX with button out to 0.55. The zoom change also in p3d. When I click the button Set default eyepoint to current position, the zoom value return to 0.30. Can't load the aircraft with the fixed 0.55 value I want. Where is my mystake? Can you help me ? Regards Aimé

I keep trying to download the active fires from the live fires tab in FFX, but get an error from NASA. It asks me to manually download the .csv files and place them in my downloads folder. This is for active fire in Aus and NZ not global. I then try and process them in FFX but keep getting an error - "This file is empty. This is usually an temporary issue on the NASA-FIRMS website. Please try again later. Can anyone assist me in getting the active fires to show in FSX, either automatically or by a manual download please?

Hello @ll, here is a short status update about the Lorby payware products in P3D V5 AiTrackerX: V5 ready, rewritten new version v3 released to the shops. CameraPositionX: V5 ready, released to the shops. CropDusterX: V5 ready, released to the shops. FireFighterX: released to the shops, but with only limited compatibility to V5. The fire and smoke effects are not working correctly, especially with "Enhanced Atmospherics". This is not a FFX specific problem, the default fire/smoke effects don't work either, see here: https://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6311&t=136919 WAMA: V5 ready, released to the shops. Please allow for…

Hello, I noticed a recent problem that goes with the installation of ORBX Global: certain parts of land in the game are changed to "UNKNOWN" type. It does the same with a friend. The problem with this is that when I start a fire on a plot type "unknown", as soon as the fire is at size 3, FireFighterX starts to slow down my P3D V4, I only shoot at 4 fps instead of 60 in normal times, and everything is jerky, in short unplayable. Also, my friend who has the same scenery configs as me does not have this problem. It has an unknown size 3 fire, but P3D continues to rotate normally. Very weird ... Thank you for your help in advance. 😉 Have a nice day. …

I think CPX might be the product Ive been looking for, but before I commit to purchasing this, I would like to ask if it can do the following: 1. Add the following camera param - "RenderOnlySimObject = TRUE" 2. Export and import camera settings from aircraft.cfg As most Aircraft vendors dont provide 2D panels or popup instruments anymore, Ive been forced to hand create equivalent camera views and store these in aircraft.cfg, which seems to take me ages to get right. I need these as I have a generic cockpit hardware setup, instead of just using a single screen virtual cockpit/outside view like most people use, so I have to build my instrument panel wit…

Hello Oliver, I have one small, cautious question 😉 Do you plan to make WAMA work for p3dv5? Regards Gerolamo

Hi, I was experimenting using CPX with P3DV5. I appreciate this isn't officially supported and I'm not sure if it will be but I hope so as its a great tool. 😉 The app starts up fine, Simconnect is installed but when I try to connect I get an error reading Aircraft.cfg: <Object reference not set to an instance of an object> I wonder if you have any suggestions or ideas to fix this. Kind regards, Chris

I'd like to add some new models to use as ai. Every time I try the scan it errors out a few seconds in. I think it is my set-up as I am embarrassed to say how many add-ons I have. 🙂 I also have them installed in a few different drives so that may be an issue also. Anyway, I don't need to add them all so is there anyway to manually add them in? Thanks, LouP

Hello Oliver, After I bought a new PC, I started to reinstall all my addons and if possible to transfer the appropriate settings ! With WAMA I did this quite well - I also transferred all logbook entries and saved landings. But unfortunately the saved flights (links) are missing in the corresponding logbook column !? The directories are all there ! Somehow it seems as if the link between logbook entry and recording file can't be made correctly anymore ! Do you have any idea? greetings ggerolamo

I purchased WAMA on FSPilotshop, however as we're all aware, they are no longer in business. So where can I download the latest version? (1.17 b08 I believe). Thanks, John

I used aitrackerx to create multiplane screenshots like these ones jk2673 jk2840 by having the ai flying with my plane, but since I upgraded to P3Dv4.5 that won't work. I go through all the steps, but in the sim the ai plane(s) just aren't there. Any suggestions? Reinstall? I did that once already, but no luck so far. Is there a new version specifically for version 4.5? anything else I forgot?

Is it possible to set up naming of the dispatched AI to be identical to ATC ID from aircraft.cfg and not the generic FFXAI-XX ? Or to be named directly like in AITrackerX ? Thanks Michael

Hi Lorby I just bought CropdusterX and installed it into P3D 4.5 HF2. I loaded a flight out of NZGC in ORBX new zealand south island which does cropdusting in real world. I connected etc etc. When I fly over the random dry field there (within 100 feet as indicated in the Cropduster app) there are no pole markers, no green overlay no plants nothing there. The app registers my position etc I tried settings like "disable surface checks", "show green overlay" There is nothing in the P3D addon menu for CropdusterX There are also no simobjects in the addon folder. In the addon folder all I see is: C:\Users\Harry\Documents\Prepar…

If possible it would be really nice to have a hotkey in the lead plane to release the following tanker. Thanks Michael

Hi, Can I put in a request to have more attachable objects? I have payware DC-10 and would really like to have a long tank that I can attach to that to make it look more realistic Cheers

Hi Oliver For several months, i was using Prepar3d v4.3 with WAMA and the Virtavia T-34C Turbo Mentor aircraft with no odd behaviors or anything out of the ordinary. This past week, i removed P3D, WAMA, all software related to flightsim to do a fresh install of Prepar3d v4.5. All installs appeared to be ok however.... WAMA is starting the engine on the T-34C even if the aircraft is in a cold and dark state. I have tested this by starting a T-34C scenario without WAMA running and then starting WAMA after full scenario has completed loading. After this engine start occurs in a scenario, if I use WAMA to switch aircraft, the new aircraft has its engine running…

Hello @ll, A small update for FireFighter X has been released: You can now fly "lead / birddog" for the AI: you can direct AI firefighters to follow your own aircraft and instruct them to drop retardant on a fire or a specific location. Please note that they are still AI - so they will try to follow your flight path to the best of their abilities, under simulator control (which means, they are not "locked" to your aircraft in any way, they still have a mind of their own). The issue in P3D 4.x where FPS would plummet when using Bambi Buckets on AI helicopters has been resolved. The update has been uploaded to the shops just now. Please allow for a coup…

Hello @ll, WAMA has been updated to 1.17 b08. This fixes the bug where WAMA would throw an error when searching through the users scenery for addon airports when it encounters scenery area titles in a certain format. The new version has been deployed to the shops and should be available in your account shortly. Best regards

I'm getting a SQL error when hitting the scan library button in destination finder. It doesnt open the select/deselect dialog as depicted in the manual and errors out right away. Using latest P3D v4.5 with WAMA 1.17b04 (installed WhereAreMyAircraft_Install_P3D_V44.exe and running app as admin) here's the error-log:

Oliver, is it normal that saved aircraft show in P3Dv4.5HF1 as though they are flying? Randy

So I mentioned in the top thread, I found a Twin Otter in the USFS colors that is used for the smoke jumpers. I wonder if there is a way to simulate dropping the jumpers other than white water puffs.... Just a thought..... Cheers and blue skies.... Matt

Has anyone else had an issue with a frame rate hit when adding AI aircraft to fight the fire? I have P3D v4.5 and will get 3 fps when AI is activated.
