LorbyLiveTraffic 1.5 available

8/11/2019

Hello @ll,

LorbyLiveTraffic has been updated to version 1.50 b01.

Starting with this version, aircraft will taxi in to a (more or less random) gate in Live mode too. They can't taxi out, because of how transponders are handled in the real world - the signal is picked up way too late to allow a taxi from the gate to the runway - most transponders are switched on just before take off.
Also in this version there is the option to populate the airports with static aircraft automatically, using either the airport parking codes or, if those aren't available, the actual traffic around the airfield.

This is still in experimental status. Development will continue, and any input from users is welcome.

P4AO updated to 1.43 b03

7/31/2019

Hello @ll,

the Prepar3D V4 Addon Organizer has been updated to version 1.43.

With this version:

P4AO can now export the locations of your addon airports to Google Earth.
A couple of bugs have been fixed: the message with "non sequiential layer numbers" should be much less frequent/ dll.xml/exe.xml entries can be properly disabled now
You can select the type of file security "inheritance" for the files that P4AO creates (this fixes issues where the permission for the "Authorized User" may be lost in the process)

WAMA bugfix update 1.17 b08

7/26/2019

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.

FireFighterX updated to 1.87

6/28/2019

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 couple of days until they deploy them.
Best regards

Destination Finder can be limited to the installed addon airfields.
Lorby "GoogleEarth Live View" has been added, that will show the pilots position and all AI in GE

Best regards
