Hello @ll,

P4AO has just been updated to version 1.39 b04

• This fixes the bug where the scenery treeview would not refresh correctly when moving an item down and making it leave the "box". This also affected moving multiple sceneries down at the same time, which only worked once and then deselected the items again.
• The scenery list has gained a search field now, where you can highlight those scenery entries where the title or the path contains a text that you enter.
• P4AO will now also detect new packages, it is no longer necessary to run the simulator first.

The tool is avaliable as a free download on the "DOWNLOADS" page

Best regards

Hello @ll,

the P4AO version 1.38 b11 is available for download now. This version has received many small updates and bugfixes, but there are two "big" new (optional) features too:

• Strict package law: if you are using other scenery management tools at the same time, you can direct P4AO to adhere to the strict package activation law. This means that it will no longer be possible to activate/deactivate individual components of an add-on package, because this function is unique to P4AO. Instead, the whole package must be activated or deactivated
  
• Strict layer order: there seem to be scenery products out there that are in trouble if external, add-on.xml based scenery elements are inserted into the numerical range of the scenery.cfg layers. While this is possible and allowed in the specification, there have been "doubts" if this can work correctly in all cases. Should you run into problems with a product like that, you can activate the "strict layer order" in P4AO. This will make sure that add-on.xml based scenery doesn't have a layer inside the scenery.cfg, and it will move "offending" scenery elements into the scenery.cfg if you request it. DON'T USE THIS UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO.

Other than that, you can now create scenery.cfg entries too, on the same dialog where you create add-on.xml files, the app will clear the scenery index automatically if so desired, the "Remove Duplicates" feature has been expanded to include all of the scenery library and the scenery list has an additional state now that will show you that a scenery is inactive because the add-on package where it is referenced has been disabled.

Hello @ll,

PayloadManager X has received a small update to the aerial refueling logic.

• When "Latched" to a tanker that is using the PMX Boom or Drogue, your aircraft will move around ever so slightly, the connection is not rigid anymore.
• PMX now has a simple file interface for third party interoperability with the tanker logic. The first app to use this will be vLSO.
• The fuel probe on your own aircraft can now be hidden automatically when you are not in range of a tanker.

Best regards

Hello @ll,

​LorbyLiveTraffic is now compatible with FLAI too.

​A small change has been implemented, that should improve air traffic density in live mode, even when using the free datasources. If ADS-B Ex doesn't know the aircraft type (displayed as ???), the LorbyLiveTraffic will use a random aircraft from the same airline to fill the slot.

​Unfortunately the same is not possible for simulator AI. If the free datasource doesn't know about departure or destination airport, there is nothing that the logic can do.

​Best regards

Hello @ll,
I have uploaded a new version 0.91 b01 to the downloads page. I have decided to add it as a "latest build" in addition to the existing version 0.90.

• The broken Autostart / Connect logic has been fixed
• The passengers have an optional randomizer now, that will replace your passengers with different ones every time you reload your aircraft (or disconnect/connect PMX). This will work better, if you add more passenger models (see a few posts above this one about a description about how to do that).

Best regards

Hello @ll,
with the kind help of Christian Bahr, the next iteration of PayloadManager X, version 0.90,  has been released. Please note that this app is for P3D V4.2 and later only!

This version now contains 10 "people models" with 100 different textures to choose from out of the box - created by Christian. And 4 pilots that have been painted by me - unfortunately I am not much of an artist. Everyone is welcome to contribute their own models and repaints and share them with the community - (there probably won't be any updates to the models from our part).

The app is freeware, available in the DOWNLOADS-section (way down, next-before-last item in the list)
​
Your solitude on the flight deck is over! Enjoy!.

ello @ll,

PayloadManagerX is available as a free download on the "DOWNLOADS" page (next-to-last at the bottom of the page).

​With this tool you can:
​- Attach any sim object anywhere on your aircraft at runtime
​- Use simulated additional (external) fuel tanks that feed into your fuel system
- Perform aerial refueling

​This app is currently only available for Prepar3D V4.x. ​THIS IS AN EXPERIMENTAL APP / PROTOTYPE - no promises as to when or if there will be further development. But you can expect all existing features to be fully functional.

Hello @ll,

​WAMA has been updated to version 1.12.

​The key elements of this release are:

• You can now add comments to logbook entries (departure, arrival and any screenshot that you take)
• A flight in the logbook can be resumed now (for example if your simulator crashed on you)
  
• The data that is being logged has been expanded. Landing data now includes weather conditions and various other variables (if available from the aircraft model).
• Several bugfixes and adjustments. Most notably, the Time Machine now works correctly with the QW 787.

​The app has been deployed to SimMarket, the other shops usually follow in a few days.

Hello @ll,
CameraPosition X v1.22 has been released today.

• This version fixes the issue with joystick controllers that continuously send button press signals interfering with the button-camera assignment logic.
• CPX now has full support for all the new camera parameters that have been introduced in P3D V4.

The app has been sent to the shops and should be deployed in the next few days at the latest.
