Lorby-SI Payware

Hello @ll, WAMA version 1.03 has been released today. To get the update, please download the app again from your SimMarket account. The two major features in this version are the added airport and gate information, and a logbook feature with (among other formats) a Google Earth export of the route that you have flown. Please check out the manual about details of these features, especially about the optional gate information - this requires using a freeware tool (MakeRwys by Pete Dowson) to generate the initial scenery information for WAMA to use. Here is the changelog: Date 02.05.2017 Version 1.03 b13 - Bugfix: changed backgro…

Been having a blast with FFX and a MAFFS-equipped C-130, operating out of the Orbx KRDD scenery. I've already discovered the hard way that going too low when making a drop can be a bad thing; I came out on the other side of a fire with all four engines ablaze and no options but to ride it out -- low, slow, and no power. (It really gives you a lot of respect for the folks who do this for a living.) After that experience, I decided it would be a good idea to know more about the fire before charging out to attack it. I now right click the fire on the list in FFX to get the location, then check out that location in Google Earth. I'm mainly looking at the terrain elevatio…

Hello @ll, the AiTracker X version 1.04 has been released today. Customers will be notified by SimMarket. This update has a new method for handling the internal AI model database, so after installation you will have to build the list back up again. I am sorry about that, but moving the list to an external database file was the only way to preserve it for future updates. All Lorby-SI addons have been moved to a dedicated Loby-SI folder in your start menu - so please uninstall the previous version and then install the new one. Otherwise you will end up having both entries in your startmenu. Your saved recordings won't be affected by the uninstall. Here is the ch…

Hi @ll, The FireFighter X version 1.79 has been released today. To update from a previous version, please download FireFighter X again from your SimMarket account and install it. It is not necessary to uninstall the previous version, but it won't hurt either. Please check the full change log in this thread: If you already have a previous version of FireFighter X, please take note of the following: in version 1.79 of FireFighter X the logic that is calculating the effects of a retardant drop on a fire has changed. At default settings, it may be too hard to put out a fire now. As FireFighter X remebers these settings even if you uninstall an…

Hello @ll, WAMA version 1.02 has been released today - Time-of-day: now you can not only select which aircraft you want to fly, but also when. - With version 1.02 you can place any SimObject into the simulator directly, without the detour of the saved parking positions. As this feature is also helpful for the helicopter crowd (you can put "hoistable" objects into the sim "on the fly"), WAMA will tell you which objects can actually be hoisted when you select them in the Database Editor. Date 23.03.2017 Version 1.02 b9 Bugfix: DBE crash when selecting an object for replacement while the list is empty Date 21.03.2017 Version 1.02 b8 …

Hello @ll, (!Work in progess!) AiTrackerX 1.05 is in beta currently, but it is progressing nicely. A release shouldn't be too far off, end of this month at the latest. The shared cockpit allows every pilot to take the primary flight controls exclusively at any time. All other settings are distributed equally, every participant can operate any system at any time. So beyond the obvious application, you could have more than one other pilot sharing your flight deck, for example in a virtual flight school, or fly with a couple of passengers sharing your aircraft. Or simply stream other views of your aircraft on the other computers without compromising your local…

My P3D crashes everytime, when I try to drop water with the helicopter. The FPS are going to 0 and the P3D stands still and is not working anymore.

Hello @ll, CropDuster X 2.00 has been released today! The green overlay effect for fields has been replaced by fully 3D models of rows of crops in different sizes and accuracy (you can simulate every single beanstalk if you want) It has inherited the spray control dialog and gauge from FireFighter X, adapted for crop dusting. Options have been added to make CropDuster X more suitable to spraying fields that are already there in scenery and with planes that have their own spray effects: defining the corners of custom fields has been made easier the app has a built-in database that you can use for your fields you can tur…

First of all, I want to say thank you for this amazing utility for FSX/P3D. I have been wanting something like this for years and even tried building missions a few times. But features, ease of use, and re-playability of this program make it a no brainer and completely surpass anything I could have worked on. I do have a couple of suggestions/requests for a future version: 1. Is it possible to have the markings from retardant drops show up on the ground as a light red/pink strip instead of round bloches? I think this would help add to the realism and also make it a little easier to see where previous drops landed. After a few passes, it's difficult to tell …

Hello @ll, FireFighter X 1.79 has been uploaded to SimMarket today. Please allow up to 24hours for the deployment there to be complete. Here is the changelog: Date 30.04.2017 Version 1.79 b13 - Bugfix: Adding client name to server window was disabled Date 28.04.2017 Version 1.79 b12 - Change: Added radiobuttons to choose drop procedure (drop rate or tank % prio) Date 22.04.2017 Version 1.79 b11 - Change: altered event handling for the drop percentage selector to accomodate Air Manager instruments - Bugfix: Liveries that were put at the end of the cfg file were not read by the database editor scan Date 17.04.2017 Version 1.79 b…

What's the point of owning a lot of aircraft if you can't view them all at once? To borrow a quote: " a picture is worth a thousand words". The latest program upgrade, v1.02 will let you easily display static objects. The picture below includes two static objects: a Boeing 777 from the WOAI traffic program and a destroyer. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ovtbucu9slcs52s/Wama.png?dl=0 I can't recommend this gem of a program highly enough. P.S. How does one post actual images (not just links) in this forum?

A couple of us have been using FFX in multiplayer mode and have noticed a few things that need to be adjusted in the software: 1. The elevation across sims (FSX and P3D) is not displayed at the same level. Therefore, objects like aircraft are not displayed accurately as to their contact with the ground. 2. We had multiple instances where helicopters were not displayed with their rotor systems not spinning. Again, this was across sim platforms (FSX and P3D). 3. We had multiple instances where after setting a specific model to display for one of the multiplayer aircraft, the model would change to the default after some period of time. Hope this feed…

Hello @ll, When using the multiplayer mode in conjunction with “Follow selected AI”, AiTracker X can be utilized to stream views of your own aircraft to a different computer. Imagine running the virtual cockpit on one computer and having a second one showing for example the passenger cabin, a wing view, the copilot perspective or an external view. The views on the second computer are fully dynamic, you can choose any camera position that you want and look anywhere you like. For example, today I have flown my T-6 Texan in FSX from EDMA to LFKJ while streaming the rear cockpit view to an FSX:SE installation on a second computer on my LAN. The view there is fully f…

Hello @ll, as those pinned topics often go unnoticed - WAMA version 1.02 has been released today! https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/505971-wama-102-released/ Customers should be notified by SimMarket via email. Best regards

WAMA's Select Saved Aircraft Drop Away Menu is appallingly laggy and makes it difficult/impossible to choose the aircraft I want. Is anyone else seeing that issue?

I'm a newbie to WAMA. I quickly read the WAMA manual and have a lot of questions. This manual is version 1.01, dated Feb 2017 and came with the download. WAMA is not as intuitive as it probably could have been. For example, nowhere in the manual does it make clear that the flight simulator (sim) and WAMA have to run concurrently in separate windows (ie. the sim has to be in windowed mode). 1. On a guess, I launched the sim and then WAMA. So now I have both running in separate windows. I select a default aircraft in the sim, select an airport, and the sim takes the aircraft I selected to the active runaway of the airport. Now what? I press 'Connect' in WAM…

Is there a list of planes available that have been tested to work with WAMA? I think a list of compatible planes will make the buying decision easier. I'm hoping the planes from the following developers can be displayed without issues or at most little modifications: 1. A2A planes 2. Carenado and Alabeo planes 3. RealAir Thank you.

Hello @ll, WAMA 1.01 has been released today. Customers will be notified by SimMarket, once their deployment process is complete.

Hello @ll, Version 1.78 of FireFighter X has been released today. Customers will be notified by SimMarket as usual. Here is the changelog: Date 25.02.2017 Version 1.78 b07 - Change: Initial size of drop control gauge smaller Date 24.02.2017 Version 1.78 b06 - Bugfix: Made operation of the payload manager and disabling the tailhook safer Date 18.02.2017 Version 1.78 b05 - Bugfix: payload manager issue when all payload stations are at 0,0,0 Date 10.02.2017 Version 1.78 b04 - Bugfix: app crashes when user model has sim.cfg instead of aircraft.cfg (Default Robinson he…

Hi Oliver, I have the impression that when I select an aircraft, the time in the simulator (I'm unsure if the date behaves this way - I couldn't check) will change to the time that the aircraft position was originally saved (I setup the sim to 7am local time but in the aircraft after loading the sun was definitely in the East). Realistically you are going to return to an aircraft at a later point in time - perhaps after a quick cup of coffee or perhaps days or even weeks later - would it be possible to select a date and time prior to getting into an aircraft. I tried to alter the date/time of my flights after selecting an aircraft in WAMA, but P3Dv3 crashed (CT…

Hello @ll, here are a few screenshots of what CropDuster X 2.00 has to offer. (btw - those fields are not scenery - the CropDuster X creates them live, at runtime - while you are flying)
