    It's working just fine for me.  I've now tested X-Life, TrafficGlobal and LiveTraffic with P2A and the latest beta of X-Plane and they all work just fine.  I suspect WT3 should also work as long as it is set up correctly in TCAS mode with all 19 X-Plane AI Aircraft enabled.

    Wail, what happens when you try WT3?

    Dave

    I have uninstalled WT3 and switched to Traffic Global for the FPS gain, which I need in VR.

     

    with TG and 11.50B10 still no traffic in TCAS, but I can see it is shown in P2A

    Hi Rolf

    I think none of the traffic can be shown in TCAS with 11.50 as I understood Laminar made changes on the way the AI traffic appears.

    My post before was on WT3 and I switched to Traffic Global, but until update 11.50B10 still not appearing in TCAS. 

     

    I've been following the forum here and I think David here is figuring it out, still I love P2A I'm continuing using it, BTW 11.50 still in beta.

    I assume you have latest MCE for X-Plane.

    Here is how you can keep Mechanic while BetterPushback is handling your aircraft.

    In "General" tab of MCE user interface click <More Options>

    In "advanced options" panel, enable option "Keep Mech on push" (I know, wording is poor, but it has to fit in that narrow line).

    With that option enabled, Mech will hand you over to BP but will remain connected.

    You do need to remember to release him with any of these commands, otherwise, you're in for a bad surprise when you try to taxi.

    Ground you may leave (now)

    Mechanic you may leave (now)

    Mechanic will then disconnect BetterPushback automatically and disconnect himself as well.

     

    I tried this method many times, but failed (V1.5.0.8)

    As soon as the BP starts to connect, it disconnect again, I tried many scenarios with MCE and BP even with the option "Keep Mech on push" on/off in MCE or "auto disconnect" on/off in BP, still the BP connect and disconnect, a/c not moving.

    It works with "Keep Mech on push" off. but the mechanic disconnect 

     

    I found a temporary dirty trick to fool your mechanic 😜

     

    - I keep the option "Keep Mech on push" off

    - I give the command "ground are you ready for pushback", to BP will start

    - When Mech disconnect and BP start moving the plane, I ask "cockpit to ground", so the Mech is connected and he continues with BP

    - At the end he disconnect by "ground you may leave" but he didn't disconnect BP, I did it manually (ran out of tricks)

     

    Please have a look at the video with the process from startup until taxi flow, I'm sure you can spot something to enhance.

     

    But I have two more observations :

    - As you can see, I used the VOXKey to give command for JD GHD "disconnect ground services" and PFX2020 "start boarding" the voice there can it match MCE PTT voice?

    - MCE flight check in the Toiliss A321 give feedback on up and down, but not left and right

     

    Here is the video, and as usual I can't help to goof with some cinematic accelerated takeoff from Dubai

    Nice and informative video regarding VR use in XP-11 and little known available tools.

    We'll get the few glitches sorted.

    On descent, when you asked Fo to set altitude 15000 and he acknowledged 5000 then started dialing the wrong value, you could just have said "correction one five zero" (he knows you're referring to FL as per last command) and he'll correct on the fly. No need to wait until he's done dialing wrong one, then making a new command for the correct setting.

    Same applies to SPD, HDG.

     

    Thanks fir the hint, definitely I’ll use it, it make things close to real, as you can see I used IVONA voices which is closer to human way of speak, with those small corrections make it immersive.

    The beauty of MCE that can take the load F/O tasks, so you can enjoy flying as real as it can get.

    In VR in particular, you don't want to open menus or sneak to the desktop to start pushback for example.

     

    I use "Better Pushback"  plugin in X-Plane, which is awesome addon, but I wanted MCE to do the job for me, and I came across this, maybe some knew it before in P3D for GSX I think, but here is the way for X-Plane:

    - Open MCE General tap, tap "more options" 

    - Tap config file,  press ok

    - Go down until you find [MECHANIC] section

    -Change the value of "PushWithGSXandAES=1", save the file

     

    Now in X-Plane, I plan the pushback before get into VR, then I ask the command to MCE "Ground are you Ready for pushback", and the Better Pushback starts. see the video @ 43:21.

     

    What I wish:

    - I think the mechanic hands over to Better Pushback and disconnect, it would be nice to still have his voice "Rotation" and saying "Ignition"

    - Is there a way to disconnect Better Pushback with MCE? I do it manually  

     

    Thanks

    Thanks

    Looking forward to it.

    Here is the video for the Toliss A321, I know it's long, but in the description there is the index.

     

    I'm sure you can spot things I should do, or shouldn't, but here what I found:

    - MCE can't control Nav & strop lights (during power up or shut down)

    - MCE didn't switch on Squak and TA/RA in before T/O flow, also strop light

    - Even that the mic is muted when I talked to IVAO ATC by pressing the PTT, but sometimes (rarely) the MCE still gets my sound. see @ 49:18

    When you are inside VR cockpit in X-Plane 11, every single details matters ... traffic, ATC, FO, crew, background boarding and landing music, you just feel there, last thing you want to break your immersion by switching to desktop or remove the headset to do a task your FO should do.

     

    I want to show case this plugin which I really prefer when flying VR and online, it is super helpful ..  Multi Crew Experience (MCE), what is does; it makes a whole aircraft crew under your command (voice command), a helping hand inside VR, many can understand me when struggle trying to change the squick code , with MCE you just tell the FO and he'll do it for you, check lists, lights and many more ... so you focus on flying. 

     

    This video streamed and edited for full VR night flight from Madinah OEMA to Jeddah OEJN in Saudi Arabia in FF A320 flight SVA156 in IVAO network with live ATC and traffic, no explanations or comments in video trying to make it as real as it can get, as you know flying online can be overwhelming with traffic, on the timestamp on the video description, you can see how many tasks can MCE handle. Also list of the plugins use in the video.

    Long video? you can skip to the landing replay @ 44:00 

     

    Enjoy

    I don't understand how you got to the 19 World Traffic as AI aircraft. You mention one must add manually; can you elaborate? YouTube and WT manuals aren't working for me. 

    many thanks. 

    You have to add them manually one by one:

    - Tap on the “Ai Aircarft (x)” on the top right of the aircraft selection menu

    - If you have aircafts listed there, tab on “Edit” beside it

    - Select “World Traffic (Other)”, you will not see this option if you don’t install WT3 properly.

    - You can add more aircarfts as you like the same way

    - Make sure to untick “Randomize aircraft each flight”, just as the 1st picture in beginning of this post.  

     

    Enjoy

    Hi,

    just open the settings panel, and check the option, then, any EFIS displaying the X-Plane default active route will display the GTN's instead:
     

    Gauge Options | Advanced | Link Simulator GPS Waypoints

     

    Please note this is limited by X-Plane in a few ways (lack of X-Plane SDK support):

    It only consists in straight line segments, and some waypoints won't display their ident name if there is no corresponding facility in the X-Plane database. The reason is because the SDK only permits plugins to change the default FMS/GPS route as a serie of unnamed wpts (lat/lon only), and our plugin tries to 'enhance' this in searching the X-Plane DB for any match, in which case, it can use the X-Plane DB wpt with name instead of just the lat/lon pair.

     

    Showing on EFIS working on the default aircrafts like the SF50, but not in the Eclipse 550

    Thanks for the explanation, but I couldn’t manage to make it to work.

    But anyway, for this particular aircraft I found a way that suits me, since I only fly in VR:

    - I use the RXP GTN to cover the right screen (since I don’t use it), and this 750 is the main one for navigation

    - The default GTN, I use it for charts and checklists only

    - I use the “Black Magic beta plugin” to interact with the touch screen in VR, for autopilot 

    As shown in my video here.

    If the traffic does not show on the P2A map, then it is not visible to P2A.  Click the Traffic button under the map (Far right gold airplane) 3 times to show both airborne and ground traffic.

    This information is new for me, thanks

    Hi Dave

    I use your product a lot, but we want some more excitement, it tried to look for that feature in the documentation, but couldn't find it.

    Is there a way to have "emergency situation", like reporting "mayday", "declaring emergency", "request victors to nearest tower" or " rejected takeoff" when a failure occur on the airplane, or even "sick passenger on board, request returning back" .

    Is it possible?

    Thanks

    I am not hearing any of the following

    does any one have any idea why?

    Do you see traffic around you or in TCAS radar? 

    If no: please use the guide above to set the ai traffic on

    If yes: maybe you haven’t got into a situation to trigger the call out as Dave said, keep the traffice slider in WT3 to max to increase the chance

    I also get no instruction to line up and wait. Why? Is there a special setting which has to be done?

    It happened to me once, there was a plane on the runway, as it started rolling the ATC asked me to lineup and wait.

    It didn't happen again, with many variation I tried
