    QSimPlanner is an open source highly versitile takeoff and landing performance tool that can also do flight plannning. Can easily be used for Zibo. Here is a short tutorial on how to fix the wind download bug currently in verison 0.48 for those that use this tool. https://youtu.be/4jeXrlmMBEU

     For those that want to try this tool, its can be downloaded for free here https://qsimplan.wordpress.com/ or from the github repository here https://github.com/JetStream96/QSimPlanner

    Dear fellow X-Plane simmers!!!

     

    For the past time, I have hosted this file to the community for free. Due to traffic generated bandwidth and file size, I have come to the decision

    based upon some recent restrictions from my domain provider, that this project need to close down!

    I am still working on a more suited fix/solution, but I am In need of two things to get this working

     

    1. A professional PHP/SQL coder

    2. A donation based community support in order to host files (i.e. a VPS solution)

     

    So without any of those this file is now closed and will not be shared anymore!

    Thank you for all the support, all your kind feedback and every single 38,573 downloads from version 1.0 to 3.5.

    I would love to personally thank all library developer for allowing their library to be included in this installer, continue to do excellent work.

     

    You guys are truly unique and I love you all for this.

    Again, thank you everybody and I'll catch you in the sky.

    Could you please right click on the Unknown device entry in device manager, select Update driver. You'll need to choose 'Let me pick...' and then choose the first device - Generic USB Device or similar - NOT the Yoke one.

     

      Once that entry becomes "Generic USB Device or similar" you can start the Madcatz yoke driver install.

     

     

    worked for me, thanks

    That is of course true. But Ventura Sky doesn't allow the NOAA plug-in to mess with clouds, as stated in the technical details above. Clouds get injected independently by SMP + RWC, based on their own interpretation of the (seperately downloaded) METAR file. We only read visibility, temperature, pressure and winds from the NOAA plug-in.

     

    As far as my testing goes, performance of Ventura Sky equipped X-Plane is the best you can get in terms of real weather. But it lies in the nature of real weather that you may come across formations that are too heavy for your system / settings.

     

    Well lets see how it goes, if the performance hit is on the downside, this would be a valued package.

    Tom,  Why do always sit on the fence about stuff ?   :smile:

     

    Sit on the fence? Dont get that..

     

     

    FSGRW is not required or supported by Ventura Sky. The NOAA plug-in itself has no impact on frames whatsoever, don't know what you're seeing there. And don't get excited, it has nothing from RTH in it, it uses a different approach. 

     

    Then I am interigued for sure, going to dive into the code and see when it comes. I beg to differ on the NOAA frame issue, if not fixed in 2.2.2 there are frames issue and it was addressed the developer some time ago. I will try it again to check, but in any case where you double on cloud layers there bound to be more of a performance hit in game, thats basic logic. Lets just hope I am wrong..

    Tom, have you though about updating the installer to use something similar to rsync (e.g. https://github.com/perlundq/yajsync). If you have all the libraries in one place on a server, then the installer can just download/update the files it needs. Whenever somebody updates their library, the installer will just download the changes rather than needing to redownload a huge file.

     

    Yes, problem is the githubs file size restrictions. Second you need to make every library developer upload to this server or any other server. Which means more permission. Most library installer do not want to have their library hosted anywhere other than x-plane.org, and that would make it difficult. Even worse, most library do not update them self, there is even library now dated back to 2012. So in an sense, the small issue of tracking each library is no problem at all. And lets face it, a 2GB file size is half a DVD to download and even with a 3Mbit subscriber line it does not take forever.. I try to update ever month and a shorter update frame than that will only be annoying for most end users.

     

    Well then why does it not work in my brand new win 10 install? Downloaded the latest Java twice and installed and with any program that requires it a window pops up and then is gone.

     

     

    Do not know, it works on every computer there is.. Try downloading  JRE or JDK from a different source and check your security settings, ie. smart filter etc..
