In reply to Günther Wittwar. Sorry Ben, for bothering you! And thanks Günther for pointing that out, I've found that post of X-Friese now and I will discuss this topic on the FWL forum.

In reply to jörn-jören jörensön. The programmer of FlyWithLua wrote some days before, that he probably will prohibit the access of private controls out of FlyWithLua. A check of the FlyWithLua version could be usefull

In reply to jörn-jören jörensön. We didn't change anything- this sounds like a policy change in FWL itself.

Hi Ben and LR,
is it possible, that access of private DataRefs has changed in this version?

A user reported an error with my FWL plugin: (I could not test it myself, my GPU is too old for XP11, sorry.)
“FlyWithLua Error: The DataRef “sim/private/controls/reno/LOD_bias_rat” can not be accessed from FlyWithLua, as it is a private DataRef. Reading or writing private DataRefs is prohibited by Laminar Research.”

It worked in earlier versions, so I just ask… I know what “private” means. : )

Thanks for the great sim and the possibility to get in touch with you developers!

In reply to DAvid.

This is definitely something we’d like to improve in the future. There are loads of otherwise great third-party planes out there that just absolutely won’t function as AI planes. As a user, it’s impossible to know in advance which ones will work… and even among the ones that work, as you said, they’re often way more resource-intensive than they need to be for AI use.

We almost certainly won’t get to this in time for 11.10 (the schedule’s already very full), but it’s in the category of “some day.”

What would be nice somewhere in the future. Is a folder in the Aircraft folder specifically for AI planes, that does not show up in the aircraft selection list unless you need to add ai planes. That way we wont have an overcrowded Selection list, and can add realy basic ai aircraft to xplane that wont have the performance hit

Hello Ben and LR,

Alot of users are having to restart X-Plane before flying a second flight with the FMC.

Meaning the FMC and autopilot get bugged out, if you do another flight, The only resolution is to restart X-Plane and this is the same with all aircraft FMC, this has been like this for a while; is there a reset option in X-Plane that completely clears FMC or something?

In reply to Marc Westhofen. Hi, I just bought P3D v4 and already regret it. X-plane is way better (V10 orV11). everything is smoother and at night there is no comaprison x-plane beat them all (FSW or P3D). So I will stick with x-plane and invest in it. Much more possibilities and also free sceneries and utilities.
