v1.21.190813 Fixits

Please download from X-Plane.org.

• ADDED #152 option Log.txt: Set Log Level = "Debug" to Debug Settings, in case users search there when following support request guidelines. Unchecking this option resets Log Level to "Warning".
• CHANGED #149: OpenSky Master Data channel is enforced to be active, when OpenSky tracking data is used to avoid "only A320/follow-me car" issue.
  Also, OpenSky Master is enabled as a recommendation when activating RealTraffic channel (but can be deactivated manually in this case).
• CHANGED #122 drawing of message area's background, possibly reducing cloud texture glitches. Fix courtesy of slgoldberg.
• FIXED #153 validation of original ADSBEx API keys after ADSBEx's server response changed.
• CHANGED #151 network timeout to 90s and made it configurable in Advanced Settings. This shall reduce the likelyhood that tracking requests to OpenSky time out.
• FIXED #148 late reaction to activating OpenSky Master Data mid-flight and memory leak when OpenSky Master Data stays inactive.
• FIXED #136 (Linux only) freeze when stopping a/c display / deactivating LiveTraffic / stopping X-Plane with RealTraffic channel on but no RealTraffic app running.

v1.20.190718 CSL / AI / Multiplayer enhancements

Please download from X-Plane.org.

• CHANGED #111 menu item "TCAS controlled": Can now also be deactivated to give up AI plane/TCAS control, so another plugin can take over mid-flight.
• CHANGED #120 #129 how planes are selected for the max 19 AI/TCAS slots: Planes in front have priority over those to the side over those in the back. And planes on the ground have even lower priority if you are airborne.
• ADDED #143 a power user workaround to run another multiplayer client in parallel with working animations/lights. Requires your local CSL models to be changed by the latest CSL2XSB script. Please see documentation for details.
• ADDED rotor / propellor / reversers / wheel animations. Requires
  supporting CSL models (many in the Bluebell package work)
  conversion of CSL models with latest CSL2XSB script
  See documentation for details.
• UPDATED, basically rewrote the documentation page on many multiplayer clients in parallel, like when also using XSquawkBox, X-IvAp, Swift and the like.
• ADDED #147: RealTraffic now provides a proper timestamp in its tracking data, which LiveTraffic uses for path calculations.
• Features relevant to other plugins' or CSL model developers:
  • ADDED support for more CSL animation dataRefs.
  • ADDED: All sim/multiplayer/position dataRefs are now provided for AI planes, including v_x/y/z.
  • CHANGED: Position reporting by sim/multiplayer/position is the next drawing cycle's position, which helps camera plugins to stay in synch with focus plane.
  • ADDED #144 shared dataRefs for providing textual information about planes as suggested by FSTramp.
    SEE the Wiki of my libxplanemp fork for more details.
• CHANGED and ENHANCED #86 communication to LTAPI, which is now an efficient bulk data transfer and includes many text info elements.
• FIXED #146: If using RealTraffic data, OpenSky Master Data will now always be queried and used if activated (Activation of OpenSky Master Data is always recommended). Previously, for most planes no master data was requested and display relied on RealTraffic's info only.
• FIXED #139 ADSBEx data will only be processed if in configured range to avoid immediate removal of planes after creation.
• FIXED #140 identification of network problems with revocation lists on non-English installations of Windows.
• FIXED #14 Set a timeout of 30s for most network operations to avoid hang-ups when network gets lost.

v1.15.190428 ADSBEx with API Key

Please download from X-Plane.org.

To update coming from v1.10 just copy the binaries in the 64 directory.

• CHANGED #132 channel ADS-B Exchange to new API after public API closed down.
  Note: API key required, to get one you need to be feeding ADS-B data to ADS-B Exchange. Then, you can request a key there and enter it into LiveTraffic's Basic Settings to re-enable the ADSBEx channel.
• FIXED #131 errorneous warning valid OBJ8 part types are LIGHTS or SOLID. Got LIGHTS..

v1.10 RealTraffic and ForeFlight

Please download from X-Plane.org.

• ADDED #65 RealTraffic as a new channel. See configuration instructions.
• ADDED #47 ForeFlight as an output channel. See configuration info.
• FIXED checking for updates so that it happens every 48h only if no update was found during last check.
• REMOVED #125 historic options from config file to prevent users from being trapped with "No enabled active channel...".

v1.00 First unlimited Release

Please download from X-Plane.org.

Changes:

• RELEASE BUILD, i.e. no time limit.
• UPDATED #117 handling of AI/TCAS planes so that third-party plugins have a better chance of seeing LiveTraffic's AI planes with their correct heading.
  X-Plane's internal map and Little NavMap now show LiveTraffic's planes.
• CHANGED #118 reporting of warnings/infos while parsing CSL packages. Repeated messages per package/xsb_aircrafts.txt file are now suppressed and only a counter reported. Previosuly, packages with additional parameters could cause thousands of lines of repeating Log.txt output.
• FIXED #112 ASSERT FAILED for bWrapAround, a bug in handling roll.
