X-Plane is not the worst simulators for scenery placement. Under X-Plane, and under FSX also.Īs Jeppesen -via Navigraph- places your aircraft where it is supposed to be really, you have some clue for tuning scene position very accurately. I observed that scenery misplacement often occurred. I am a scenery designer for X-Plane, using real system data for placing runway, to be compatible with FAACIFP and Jeppesen datas.
If you tweak VATSIM to be given aircraft position, meter by meter, it'll be one big challenge as aircraft position given by simulator are different.ĭifferent, between two versions of FSX, different, between FSX and X-Plane. So perhaps do we have to investigate in another way that just from one end of the line. I was disconnected while having 30 to 35 FPS under X-Plane. "Poor simmers bashing" is not a good option either. In my opinion "X-Plane bashing" is not the best option. Īs I wrote on other post my feeling is that there are several kind of causes of disturbance for ATC when a place is busy. and I am glad to read that !īut it seems that some guys, not the main silent part perharp, has some request which might be heard clearly. Ok Evan, as a controller you are satisfied. It will stay.Īnd an disable check box maybe? or disable the possition of my aircraft on your radar without disconnect voice when client detects <20 frames antyl frames go up. I could remove it, but then users would get angry when they unknowingly get disconnected due to low frame rates. If these do not work, the the solution is a different simulator which doesn't have this feature.Īt list you must disable the message on simulator. VATSIM has offered solutions for users that will be affected by this change. It's Laminar's fault for programming X-Plane the way they did to do this. This is why there is a problem, and this is why VATSIM is taking action. Or covering only 3NM every minute when the controller is expecting 6NM a minute. So this aircraft is really only going 180 kts ground speed. In cases of xplane 11 slowdown below 20FPS, that same aircraft is showing 360kts to the controller, but XP11 has automatically slowed the simulation rate down to 1/2 rate. So the controller is able to plan for that and sequence the aircraft. This does not happen in cases of xplane slowdown.Īircraft is showing a ground speed of 360kts this means he should be covering 6NM every minute. In those pings, the aircraft is traveling across the ground at the correct rate.
Real world radar might update at 3 pings per second, but that's not the point. If a users computer can not maintain 20 FPS at the absolute lowest settings in XP11, then that users machine really can't run XP11. They are requiring that you have your rendering settings in xplane set at a level that won't impact other users. Darpa extended an invitation to industry and academic technologists and researchers who have insight on new component and manufacturing techniques.VATSIM is not requiring high end machines. On September 20, 2022, the program will hold a Proposers Day and Expo to bring together aircraft manufactures and non-traditional military contractors. New manufacturing techniques, like low-cost additive manufacturing, have also birthed the possibility for new architectures and designs. Recent VTOL research, fueled largely by non-traditional players, has led to advancements in new vehicle configurations, sizes, weights and power systems. They would also support point-to-point unmanned logistics operations.Īccording to Ancillary Program Manager Steve Komadina, the program could help minimize personnel, costs and vulnerability during sensitive operations The idea is to give the plane a small form factor so several could launch from a ship and provide a fleet of surveillance, reconnaissance and targeting assets. The program will study advanced propulsion architectures, like hybrid electric propulsion, high-density batteries and fuel cells, and advanced structures and manufacturing techniques. A video from the agency shows a rendering of the aircraft flying supplies into a remote location. The new X-Plane would be low-weight with high-payload and long-endurance capabilities. DARPA has a new program, Ancillary, and they hope it will develop and demonstrate new technologies that promise to leap VTOLs, vertical takeoff and landing vehicles, forward.Īncillary, which stands for AdvaNced airCraft Infrastructure-Less Launch And RecoverY X-Plane program (it's a loose acronym) wants to build a plane that can launch from any environment or ship flight deck, in any weather conditions, without any launch or recovery equipment, like the typical ground support equipment aircraft typically require.
