CrewPackXP is a FlyWithLUA utility designed to add some crew communications for aircraft in X-Plane 11. This includes basic callouts, and in some cases assistance from the PNF in high workload phases of flight. Settings can be adjusted to enable or disable the whole plugin, or just certain features of each aircraft.

Flight Factor 757 / 767:
  • Virtual FO to pre-flight aircraft
  • Take-off and Landing calls by both crew members
  • Flight Attendant PA's
  • Ground Crew positioning of equipment
  • Virtual FO assistance with go-around procedure
Hot Start Challenger 650:
  • Virtual FO to pre-flight aircraft
  • Take-off and Landing calls by both crew members

Installation

Copy the Scripts and Modules folders into the main folder of FlyWithLUA:

X-Plane 11 > Resources > plugins > FlyWithLua

install

Once enabled, the First Officer should announce his entry to the cockpit roughly 15 seconds after loading in.

CrewPackXP settings can be accessed via the X-Plane menu bar:

Plugins > FlyWithLua > FlyWithLua Macros > Crew Pack Settings

Prerequisite

This plugin uses the FlyWithLUA plugin to interface with X-Plane. It is available freely from X-Plane.org

Luna INI Parser (LIP) is included as an additional plugin module for use with FlyWithLua. This module allows for the saving and reading of settings data within LUA. It has been included in this package under the MIT Licence offered by creator Carreras Nicholas.

This is a common plugin; it may already exist in your modules folder causing a prompt to overwrite.

Usage

The CrewPackXP functions run autonomously based on in sim events, provided the aircraft is enabled within the CrewPackXP settings. Refer to each aircraft's entry in the manual for details on settings and features available.

Disclaimer / Feedback

This package is to be distributed as Freeware only under the GPL v3 license.

This is the first time I have coded a plugin, any feedback is welcome. Bug reports, please include the x-plane log.txt file in the main x-plane folder for the flight in question.
