waynepiekarski / XPlaneCDU

XPlaneCDU is a remote control interface for the Control Display Unit (CDU) present in X-Plane 11. This app does not provide an FMS, but simply a way to control the existing CDU from an Android tablet or phone. Currently it works with the Zibo Boeing 737 aircraft.

LevelUp 737 not supported #9

Closed BradyBrother100 closed 2 years ago

BradyBrother100 commented 2 years ago

Hi, Testing the new LevelUp 737 showed that XplaneCDU does not recognize that the LevelUp 737 uses the same systems as the Zibo thus not being compatible. Are there any plans to support the LevelUp 737s?

Thanks! Brady

Do you have a link to where I can download the aircraft?

The current detection is done here: https://github.com/waynepiekarski/XPlaneCDU/blob/master/app/src/main/java/net/waynepiekarski/xplanecdu/MainActivity.kt#L831

As a quick hack, you could search for acf_descrip in the aircraft .acf files and edit it to "Boeing 737-800X" and that should trick XPlaneCDU into working until I can release a new version.

They added a feature in the tablet to change the FMC button layout. For example, instead of having separate buttons for CLB, CRZ, and DES, there is only a VNAV button. But, you can choose between which layout you want to use.

Thanks, Brady

Also, the .zip that you download comes with the -600, -700, -800, -900, and -900 ER all in one folder.

Looks like these are the aircraft filenames and the names used by XPlaneCDU: $ grep "acf/_descrip" *.acf 737_60NG.acf:P acf/_descrip Boeing 737-600NG 737_70NG.acf:P acf/_descrip Boeing 737-700NG 737_80NG.acf:P acf/_descrip Boeing 737-800NG 737_90NG.acf:P acf/_descrip Boeing 737-900NG 737_9ENG.acf:P acf/_descrip Boeing 737-900ER

I will need to add support for this and republish a new XPlaneCDU.

I'm not an iOS developer. XPlaneCDU is only for Android.
