Verified Developer OPabst 2091 Posted January 27, 2014 Verified Developer Share Posted January 27, 2014 This thread will show for the next weeks the steps for the actual development of AES. This are only the first parts done now, which are need as base for future additational features. I could not say, when it will be released, so you don't need to add such questions. The planning is to have AES all time in a functional state, not redesign the complete code in one time, which need several month or years to come to a stayable state. All you see here is already in the daily testing, but not ready for release yet. 1. Step: Enhancement and redesign of the configuration tool AESConfig For the most of the new features on the wishlist we need more available parameters of the aircraft to get them integrated. So I had first to redesign the AESConfig Tool to get this parameter included and to be prepared for more. AESConfig is still a separat running tool, but gets a new Look and Feel, here you see the startmenu: The points for Timer and Settings could be done without a running FS beside. The Timersetting lets it now easier to configure the timeframe for the random Service interval, but it is also planned to have an autometic procress in future, based on Aircraft, passenger count and Cargo load. Below the point Settings the main configuration for some of the AES parts can be done. So it is now also possible to disable the wet/snow Runway overlay and the Runway Centerlight sounds, if you don't like it. For the sound and aircraft setting, the FS must run first, but now AESConfig will place a overlay Menu into the screen of the running FS in Windowmode (Fullscreen is still not possible). The FS will be the Window with the focus, so while the settings are done, sounds of the FS are still active and you can adjust the sounds very easy by runing a Demo of each type of sounds, while you set the volume for the inside Cockpit and Outside view. The primary new part is the Aircraft setting menu. Here you first get the overview window, where you can see the configurable services and doors. As you see on the screen, the left and right doors are now configurable seperat, so that also non symetric aircraft can be set correctly: When a Door or Service is selected, a controll window opens in the top left corner of the screen. Here you can controll the position, height und angle of the service. Beside the old symboles for the doors, now you can also toggle between the models just for this service, like Stairs, Jetways or Vehicles. That makes it easier to adjust the service to the correct position. For each service, you can also select options, which give more flexibility to select the service. So it will be possible to remove the stair on apron, but keep the jetway if available. Also the type of the used pushback trucks can be selected now. The fuel and Water truck can get his correct position too. One new implemented useful setting is the Rampagent position after pushback for left and right side, so that you can place im in the view of the cockpit, so you don't need to move the viewpoint anymore: So, that was it for today, will be continued from time to time, when the next step's are done. Once again the note: The development is ongoing, no need to ask for release dates, I don't know them yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritzi 87 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 That looks great!!! Thank`s for the work on AES... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edetroit 537 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Oliver….just when I thought my interest in FS was waning you have singlehandedly slammed it back into top gear! I would still like an extra long tow bar option though…..please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verified Developer OPabst 2091 Posted January 27, 2014 Author Verified Developer Share Posted January 27, 2014 I would still like an extra long tow bar option though…..please. How long does it has to be in relation to the exisiting one, 2x or 3x?. Did you have a link to a freeware Aircraft you have in mind here? I can't say if it will be done as it needs a complet different push process coding, but as I want to work on that part sometimes, I keep it in mind.

KLM737 128 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Awesome work, Oliver! Looking forward to the next AES evolutuion! A couple of questions: - Do you have any news about P3D compatibility? Is there any progress to report? - I'm sure you have your own, almost endless feature wishlist, but would it be possible to have off-site deicing? Maybe let the user pick the spot(s) where he would like to be deiced and read that location from the AFCAD. So when the aircraft reaches that remote stand, AES would be ready to start deicing the plane. That way, you won't have to reconfigure the hundreds of airports all over again... - Will it come with a new high-quality sound-set? Thank you and good luck with the remaining tasks!

Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51561 Posted January 27, 2014 Aerosoft Share Posted January 27, 2014 - Will it come with a new high-quality sound-set? We will most certainly offer our assistance for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Reverse 345 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Hi Oliver, awesome news, Its phantastic that you pimp up AES. May I ask you if you have plans to include seeable boarding passengers, and luggage? I dont own GEX and dont want to buy it, because I believe in AES since your first release.

Hello Oliver, if the tow bar was exactly twice as long as the existing one it would be perfect. I have attached a pic so you can see the distance I have the pushback truck from the nose wheel for pushback. Also here is a link to the freeware model: http://www.avsimrus.com/f/fs2004-aircrafts-40/vizualnaya-model-il-76-44214.html?action=download&hl= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Reverse 345 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Hi Bruno,<br /> well, I assume, if you're asking this way, its GSX i dont want it, and I am not interested in it, thats why I dont know the exact name. <br /> Its this other thing, which makes pushbacks, and these things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eham8 1 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 You made me very happy with this news Oliver!However, I'm missing in these preview shots a cargo maindeck loader. Is that something you are still going to add into the new AES?I don't think I'm the only person who would really love to have that feature.Thanks and take care.

Xstasus 13 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Thank you Oliver. Could you please give us the ability to change the position of the fuel truck. Especially when flying a LCC, but not only LCC. The fuel truck is usually on the right side of the aircraft instead of the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickac1092 8 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Just a question. With this new stuff coming to AES, are Cargo aircraft supported yet like the 747F family and 777F family? Just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabo 41 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Hello Oliver, what with the incremental changes you mention, I suppose you are still working with VistaMare Core? So, I have to assume, no P3D support (which is kinda sad at this point, even if totally understandable) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verified Developer OPabst 2091 Posted February 2, 2014 Author Verified Developer Share Posted February 2, 2014 what with the incremental changes you mention, I suppose you are still working with VistaMare Core? So, I have to assume, no P3D support (which is kinda sad at this point, even if totally understandable)We are discussing solutions for P3D 2.x, but it's open yet. And before P3D is not in a stable status (maybe with 2.1), it makes no sense to start any development. We also have wait until all SP's for FSX was done, before we start the support for that simulator, otherwise you do all twice.And, without a technology like Vistamare, in Frame calculations are not possible, which is the base of the most animations we have and the key difference to other tools, which only can use fixed animation sequences.One feature now in development is not possible without a high flexible calculation, within the display process.

Sieg Imhof 0 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Sounds all great and I hope it will be availabel soon. In the meantime I have a problem with my AES with the following scenario: I am parked with my MD-11 at a gate in EGLL, the jetway has deployed, stairs are moving towards the rear a/c door and the freight trucks are at the right side of the a/c at the cargo doors, I now wish to depart EGLL for a flight to EDDM, my dilemma is where do I find the icons to select removal of yetway, stairs ect and request the push back tractor.??? Is there anything I am missing, I am at a loss as to what to do. Could you please help me! With Thanks Sieg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
