![]() GLOS (GLObal Scenery project) The Global Scenery Project maintains and participates in the creation of the world-wide default scenery for X-Plane 6.x. They can be tricky to use (since there is no graphical user interface) but are very powerful and save the serious scenery designer a ton of time! Besides the obvious scenery conversion application, Johannes tools can be used to easily copy objects from one scenery file to another. envTools - Scenery Converter Johannes Majer's scenery converter is a series of command line tools for Mac OS X (with source, so they could be run in any Unix environment) for manipulating the 6.x scenery format and converting the 5.x scenery format to 6.x. The Goodway Flight Planner Stephane Maurel's Goodway Flight Planner is a Java application (for Mac and Windows) that creates and edits flight plans in an intuitive, feature-rich manner. Christian's programmers are powerrful, easy to use and well documented. If you are working on objects, Christian's programs and documentation are a must. (Warning: it is Macintosh only!!) He also has other utilities to convert Objects from 5.x to 6.x and work with textures. ObjectMaker (and friends) Chrisrtian Franz's object maker is the best object editor for X-Plane. Roy's page contains the most complete UDP documentation I know of. He also developed X-Panel, an application for running X-Plane's instruments on a remote computer. Roy Coates has done a ton of work with X-Plane's UDP format. If you are developing new objects and need to do work on the object itself (rather than using object creation or conversion tools), check this reference out. The 2.0 object format was introduced during X-Plane 6.x to improve graphics performance. Version 2 Object Format Michel Verheughe has documented the X-Plane version 2.0 object format. Andy's site is a great start for answering general X-Plane questions. X-Plane has a ton of features, tricks, tips, and the manual doesn't even scratch the surface. The X-Plane FAQ Andy Goldstein maintains the X-Plane FAQ, a wonderful collection of information about X-Plane. Some web sites belong under multiple categories due to all the content theyoffer I recommend checking them out in detail. If you would like to have your page listed, would like me to remove the listing,would like me to include a banner, or would like me to correct a URL, pleaes email me. So please be so kind and tell users with that problem, to post a report into our forum, we use that as centralized point for suggestions and bug-reports, and attach a) the efass_log.txt and b) their X-Plane log to their post.Links to other X-Plane web pages:This link page contains resources that I have found useful for X-Plane. The only thing I could imagine, is a busy PC in combination with EFASS (that usually needs some ressources for rendering and map caching). We have around ~300 X-Plane-Users from the forums who use EFASS and participated in the closed beta (including myself), and I must say - I never heard of such a problem. So I doubt that those problems are connected to EFASS. From that point, EFASS is a complete standalone application that does no more interact with the SIM, except receiving data from the XPUIPC. That plugin is similar to FSUIPC for MSFS/FSX. "EFASS does not make any changes to X-Plane than installing one plugin called "XPUIPC" inside the plugin folder. transcript of email message received from one of the EFASS team members. Here's Till's kind answer, and, again, just as he points out, please use their own support forums to ask your questions and find answers ! They have other interesting applications, such as an excellent flight dispatcher that works great with the NEO A320. The author gave me permission to forward it here. I emailled EFASS support and got a prompt reply. ![]() I keep an image of the X-Plane folder in an external disk, and update it each time I install something huge. The good thing is that we can easily backup our X-plane 10 installs. All is back to normal, but I'm afraid to try this cool addon again. I'm not saying this addon was the cause, but I since uninstalled it, and got my airports back with the X-plane updater. It seemed to be a random wipeout since other airports were still there. I checked for several other random airports across the US, even large ones like KLAX, KBOS, etc. I then went into the Location/Select Global Airport section of the tool bar to find it (KMSN) was not even an option. I knew I was right on the ILS to minimums, but was looking at a grass field. All was going well until I was on final approach and noticed I couldn't find the airport. I installed this the other day and was using it to fly to KMSN from KMKE. Not to cause alarm, but just something to double check.
