X-IvAp


X-IvAp is an X-Plane plugin, originally created for the global online flight simulation network of IVAO. It allows X-Plane users to fly online with other flight simmers and real live air traffic control, provided by real people. X-IvAp follows the philosophy and design of the IVAO client IvAp for MSFS, and implements all its vital features - like full integration into the aircraft panel (you don't have to use the plugins user interface), improved IVAO weather system, flight plan changes done by ATC and many more.

I just started to play around with Dolomynum source code, take a look at QuteScoop.

Maintainer wanted I don't have the ressources to maintain X-IvAp myself any more, and just leaving the code there to rot would be a real shame. If you're interested in X-IvAp and know a bit of coding, please contact me. --Martin 00:12, 4 May 2008 (CEST)


Linux and Windows builds for 0.1.8 (IVAO) are available for download. They're untested, and I did not get any feedback about stability or bugs yet. Please let me know if it works. --Martin 23:09, 12 December 2007 (CET)


X-IvAp 0.1.8 is coming. The mac version can already be downloaded, Windows and Linux versions will follow as soon as someone within the IVAO development group can compile the binaries with the authentication code.

This version fixes two issues:

  • Text messages finally appear in a small extra-window (top right of the screen), so you don't need to have the main window all the time
  • Repaired the flight plan form: flight plan remains intact after ATC altered it.

Have fun! --Martin 21:52, 11 December 2007 (CET)

For now there are several documents describing more or less details of X-IvAp. A "real" manual isn't available yet.

Please note that the GPL version of X-IvAp will, at this time, not work on the IVAO network.

Todo list

SVN Repository: http://gaia.linuxpunk.org/svn/xivap (moved temporarily until web server is fixed)

Bugtracking: http://xivap.linuxpunk.org/mantis

To download the source, use a subversion client (such as tortoise svn or rapidsvn). If you want to get the latest development version, enter https://xivap.linuxpunk.org/svn/xivap/trunk as repository address, then check out the sources to your local file system. If you never worked with revision control tools (like SVN, CVS, SourceSafe) before, you really should check out the subversion book - you won't regret it!

Credits

X-IvAp is using Ben Supniks multiplayer code, libXplaneMP for XSquawkbox, and would have been impossible to implement without his invaluable help. My personal thanks also go to Peter Meininger for providing the CSL models for XSquawkbox and X-IvAp, to Sandy Barbour for the excellent X-Plane SDK, Patrick Zangerle for the artwork, Mikkel G. Hangaard and Splendor Bouman for the first beta tests (and for hooking me to X-Plane), the people from the IVAO networking and softdev departements as well as many many other nameless people who helped with the creation of this plugin.
