As always, Oliver, you have T-O-N-S of good tech reasons ...
But this desperate "kind of SOS" was another signal that the ever growing people of AES users really CAN'T WAIT to see AES taking some step forward, along the directions that you already pointed us to.
Are we still far, far away, from the day when we can see our planes filled by active fuel trucks ?
Looking forward to that happy day, oh happy day ...
:beer3_s:
In the meanwhile, here we are, the AES-addict simmers
Good night, sir Oliver.

The AES window is using the FS API's, which also used to generate the ATC Window. But, the window is not Static generated. It will be "destroy" when not used, not only set ot Hidden, like the ATC window. When it is "recreated", it is not the same window, so it is not using the stored data.
This parts are handled by the Vistamare Modules and the developer of this modules is not online at the moment, so I can't ask him, if he see an option to create the window with stored data.
Thanks Oliver !
Nice to know that it's not really "impossible", but that you will be - sooner or later - given the information to be able to set it up.
You had a nice idea by offering us the chance to externalize AES menu on another machine, and maybe I'll try it; but to many of us, especially those who do not have multiple pc setup, the chance to resize and relocate AES menu I guess would be sure enough.
Thanks for keeping the thought alive !
-
The tech question from the untech guy ...
If these data are saved - it seems - automatically along with the other parameters of the active "situation" when a flight is created (Fs9), so that ATC window is recorded, why doesn't it happen to AES window, too ?
-
Here ! Taken from the last lines of my active flight (.FLT) in FS9:
[Air Traffic Control]
Undocked=False
ScreenUniCoords=102, 3324, 1431, 2304
UndocCoords=0, 0, 0, 0
[Flying Tip]
Undocked=False
ScreenUniCoords=500, 400, 7192, 650
UndocCoords=0, 0, 0, 0
[AES - Airport Enhancement Services -2.07 - LGAV-FULL - <Close window with F10> ]
Undocked=False
ScreenUniCoords=1536, 1216, 5120, 1425
UndocCoords=0, 0, 0, 0
That's where came the thought that AES window size & position would have been saved from flight to flight ...
Why isn't it so ?
-
No, sorry, but this window is an internal API and I don't see yet any option to save position and/or size.
I see ... so it looks like the only present solution is using AES Remote ... but then I would lose verbal commands, not running on the client, too.
Yet, I remember seeing some parameters of an "AES Window" included in some .cfg or .flt file ... would it be possible ?
Will make further research, and report back here.
ATC Window size and position, after all, is saved with the situation (.flt) and so why couldn't this "sister" window deserve same treatment ?
Thanks and regards,
Eugenio

Hello Oliver, hello folks,
forgive me for not conducting an extensive search, maybe the question was already raised in the past somewhere else in this forum ...
Is there a way to position AES popup window inside FS, so that it becomes permanent from session to session, and not just within a single flight session ?
Thanks and regards,
Eugenio

The other night, as I moved into a spanish airport and was welcomed by a "Bienvenido", I thought what a powerful sensation of realism is linked to a relatively minor effort in programming ...
That's why I hope that Oliver will consider to "open" AES to other idioms (German, Portuguese, Greek, etc.) applicable to the scenery already supported by AES, even before the "official" AES voice for that idiom is picked up ... (the default voice being always there, if no local accented set is available).
Why couldn't a German AES user record and place his own files in AES sound folder, even if they do not sound good enough to be chosen officially for the rest of the world ?
Also, I would like to invite other AES dedicated users to spend some time with the mike and create a library of new AES voices for the languages which are already available, destinated to sound sub-folders, so that before every flight, during the pre-flight setup, one can use a simple batch file and send the voice file set in place ...
I cannot dare to ask Oliver for AES randomized pick-up among many voice sets, simply because ... we don't have them (yet) !!! Maybe with the long-awaited version 3.0 ?
I hope - anyway - that this will be another nice way to encourage people to exchange their works on the net, strenghten the community, enhance the fun, and make it even more "as real as it sounds" !!!
Happy landings and always three greens to y'all,
Eu
-
Thanks, Oliver,
you couldn't be clearer than that !
Best regards,
Eugenio.
p.s. no german accent for the marshaller yet ? I thought you could take your opportunity to be "with us" on every single flight !
It would sure be a honor ... and you aren't that shy, are you ?
;-)

If you're really saying that door 1R can be set differently from 1L, and 2R differently from 2L, the only one missing something it's me !!!
When I go setting aircraft parameters, I don't even see the yellow markers placed in the vicinity of doors 1R and 2R, since on the right side of the aircraft I only see the cargo door markers ...
How do you set (and maybe deactivate) these right doors individually ?
-
Dear all,
I just bought the iFly 737.
I was excited also because I thought I could see all four cabin doors served by AES ...
But it looks like:
- door 2R does not open at all so, unless I missed the correct command key, I will see the catering truck uselessly parked in front of it.
If so I ask Oliver "Please think of a way to separate not just aft/forward, but also left/right, so every single door can be declared inoperative for AES.
- doors 1L and 1R are not located at the same distance along the longitudinal axis. Setting the distances for 1L gives incorrect placement of the catering truck, and setting the distances to suit door 1R will fit the catering truck but not the finger/airstairs ... GRRRR !
Once more, I wisk I could set all parameters for these doors individually.
... or is there a workaround ?
Cheers,
Eugenio

Hello Oliver,
you know what ?
I am really looking forward to the moment when you allow us users to be ACTIVELY grateful and helpful in the open growth of AES ... taking the burden somewhat away from your shoulders !
In my humble opinion, if AES doesn’t lose the sense of its identity, by trying to be something else, and do always more and more (but – that way – chances are it will interfere with the role of other addons ...), there is really not much to add in terms of new features (apart from expanding to a growing number of airport sceneries).
I am chiefly waiting for the active refueller...
But only after you have added the ability to pick-up randomly other sets of sounds/textures, we will have the chance to share, on a freeware basis, our personal creations in terms of marshallers voices, marshallers clothes, bus textures, catering truck textures, airstairs textures, etc. etc., so that such a variety will add much to realism, with little effort on you part ...
How do you feel about it ?
Thanks for AES, and for keeping it alive !
Regards,
Eugenio.
-
Oliver, please welcome not just my thanks, but also my offer to cooperate again freely, should you like to add more marshaller's regional voices ... long live AES, there's a growing number among us simmers that just couldn't fly anymore without its services, looking forward to the active refueller, etc. etc., so ... please keep it running !
And glad to welcome y'all folks when you park and set the brakes somewhere in Italy !
Happy landings and always three greens,
Eugenio

Nothing changed in this part between 2.06 and 2.07, so doublecheck if your really set the brakes correct, related to the used aircraft it could happen, when you have hydraulic press, that the parkingbrakes to close.
Hi Oliver,
I've done some flying after upgrading to 2.07.
Is it possible that - somewhere - the "regional" marshaller's voices are not working ?
Last night, for instance, I was at the newly added LICJ, but the voice was the default one.
Did something change about this ?
By the way, I freely sent you (through mr. Shaun @ Aerosoft) some german accented marshaller's voices, to expand the regional voice collection, did you got them ?
Thanks and best regards,
Eugenio.

Hello Oliver !
I have "recycled" a secondary pc which I put to use for the "pax view" (left wing) of my setup, using the WideView software by L. Napolitano.
This requires a "twin" installation of FS9 running on the client machine, specially in terms of everything "visible", like the scenery.
I think I can transfer all the sceneries from the server to the client by mirroring the addon scenery folders and the scenery.cfg file ... but what will happen to AES ? Do I need to re-abilitate all the active airports by re-inserting the credits on the second machine, too, or is there a way to obtain this in a single step ?
Thanks,
Eugenio.

Hello Oliver !
What's your judgement about the freeware alternative to LAGO's LICR (see few posts above) ?
If you find it worth AESsing, I'll get in touch with the developers ...
regards,
Eugenio.
-
Well, luckily enough, there seems to be one other (and it's freeware) excellent alternative to Lago's LICR, and it is presented here:
http://fafylela.altervista.org/index1.html
It is a over 50+ Mb download of scenery, suitable for both IFR and VFR lovers.
I discovered it after reading here about Lago going substantially out of business.
I could try to get in touch with the developers, but it would help me to know that Oliver would consider to provide AES features for this nice airport, given the sufficient quality of the design, and the interest it can raise among simmers ...
The challenging approach to rwy 33 that make LICR called the "italian Kai Tak" could be one good reason, the other being that there's a very little job to do to add AES facilities, here.
Regards,
Eugenio.

Hello Oliver !
If you're looking around for good airport addons, there is one which still deserves your final "piece of candy", I guess with very very little effort on your part: Lago's Reggio Calabria, LICR, the italian Kai Tak.
It has no fingers, only parking positions, and a limited number of them, being a small apron.
Fellow simmers might be interested in knowing that the approach to runway 33, partly instrumental, partly visual, with a final left turn at very low height, requires additional training and specific qualification for airline pilots.
If you haven't flown it yet, give it a try: it provides a good challenge, just like the Kai Tak, or Samos, or Madeira ...
I've seen it only a few weeks ago, visiting a simmer friend.
Happy landings and always three greens !

Hello Oliver !
You will forgive me once more for bothiering with this request ...
I can understand that you may be unwilling to take a more perceivable part in your masterpiece, by recording with your personal voice the AES Marshaller for all German airports ... though it would be exciting to hear you with us on the aprons ...
(remember when the old master painters did portrait themselves in some of the minor characters of a painting ... ?)
... but can't you PLEASE ask ANYONE at Aerosoft to PLEASE record their voice for this
W O N D E R F U L
product of yours ?
Thanks in advance,
Eugenio.
-
... but I think I forgot where it was answered !
Is there a published list of the push-in parking positions implemented - here and there - in the AES Serviced airports ?
Is there any de-icing area, too, where de-icing takes place far from the gates/stands ?
Cheers,
Eugenio.
-
Just wanted to say that - even if I haven't received any reply from the support team yet - the problem I faced on my server with the beta 2.0 was solved by the "regular" installer of AES version 2.01, so that I could enjoy the new stuff ...
A friend of mine volunteered for some recording, so that I didn't have to hear my voice welcoming myself at the B6 gate in LIME !
THANKS OLIVER, one more time !!!
Let me dare to look forward to a future, when a version 2.xx of AES allows installing multiple voice sets per every language ...
And, by the way, how come that we don't have any german accented marshaller so far ?
How about Herr Oliver Pabst's voice, in person ... wouldn't it be nice to have you with us simmers ?
Think of it ...
-
Hello Oliver,
it's the first time that the AES installer fails on my home cockpit server (WinXP, no SP2; Fs9).
I also tried the installation on a laptop (same OS but with SP2, and same FS9), and it went OK.
Do I really need to install the SP2 on my server to upgrade to AES 2.xx ?
If possible, I wish I had not to.
Cheers,
Eugenio

AES 2.0 = AES 1.99b + FSX
... ugh, really ?!?
I don't care a lot about AES servicing AI traffic, but I thought that at least AES 2.0 (in FS9) could already bring us an effective refuelling truck, without waiting for AES 3.0 !!!
Well, see you there anyway !!!
Eu (honored to be the italian marshaller's voice).

... er, did you also mean something like this:

To dreamflyer: thank you, it DOES work !!!
I knew only partially about what can be done with parking radiuses ...
in this case, a working miracle.

Hello folks,
let me add my "two cents" to your interesting chat ...
I wouldn't dare to add a single ounce of pressure upon Oliver right now, given what he's still trying to accomplish for us; after all, I think we'd all go for some more valuable additions, rather than just seeing this kind of issue fixed. Also, if it's only a matter of timing, it can be done more easily by him; but if it's also about wording, so that sound files need to be corrected, it's no longer depending on him alone (btw Oliver, you know I'm always ready for any change to the italian marshaller's voice ... as soon as you ask for it).
To the most active ones: think about editing the wavs, both for timing and for wording changes.
As for timing, why not adding a couple minute silence before the marshaller speaks ?
As for wording, the unwanted sentence might be cut out from the rest of the wave.
Happy landings and always three greens !
