    Post 17 Warning old domain name stealing credentials

  • IMPORTANT INFORMATION - ALL MEMBERS PLEASE READ

    Due to an increase in the number of new members who are trying to systematically download our entire Resource Library (one new member yesterday tried to download 3,000+ files AT ONCE!) we are being forced to implement some changes regarding who can download what, how many files at a time and at what speed. As the forums and Resource Library share the same bandwidth when the Library gets overloaded with demand like that the forums fall over, as we have all seen recently. It's sad that greed has forced our hand in this way but we must do something for the benefit of all our legitimate members (many of whom paid money for the upkeep of the site) and to prevent the files stored here being used for nefarious purposes. Many of our uploads have specific conditions tied to them that forbid uploading to any other site or deny uploading to any site that has a 'paywall' (i.e. a pay to download policy). Due to the number of mass download attempts recently we can only assume that somebody, somewhere, is attempting to stock up a new file library with our files and we owe it to our up-loaders to protect their files and intellectual property especially as many (like my own LDR Development projects) are made available at SOH only and are specified as such in the 'read me' files.

    The forums and Resource Library will be taken offline as of 13:00 EDT with the forums coming back online shortly after without the resources library while we work on setting up permissions on the new Library module.

    We hope our members understand why we need to do this and will bear with us while we implement the changes.

    Thanks in anticipation, SOH ADMINISTRATION

    Downloads are now active. You may proceed with downloading as desired

    The download limits are a work in progress. Some settings are likely to need tweaking in the coming days.

PayloadManagerX by Lorby-SI

Members +
The software company LORBY-SI has developed the PayloadManagerX and published it on its website as freeware.

With the help of the PayloadManager, objects can be "attached" to the own plane and AI planes. Anyone who has felt alone in the cockpit, for example, can put animated people in the virtual cockpit. Another feature provides an aerial refueling agent attachable kerosene tank.

First, the user has access to 10 detailed persons with high-resolution textures who can be placed in the cockpit using PayloadManagerX.

To get to the download just go to the LORBY-SI download page and scroll down a bit, a PDF manual on how to attach objects and people is also available on the download page:

By means of graphical user interface you can place the objects/persons:

Oh man, that sounds good !
Now, if only somebody could come with some replacement models, like military or civil professional crews, that would be perfect :)
 
Thanks Christian for supplying the models, and Oliver for the program itself. :applause:

Just to note, it can also be used to attach any simobject to the model, so it can be used to hang bombs or missiles for example.

Agree, like Dino's military avatars. Pretty cool looking program, will check out.
 
I have to wait until the end of the month to test it, because I'm away from the gaming computer :/
Looking forward to reading some feedback here. I'm surprised there aren't more reactions to this topic ?
 
Quoting their news from the front page:

3D pilots and passengers in every aircraft
7/9/2018 0 Comments

Hello @ll,
with the kind help of Christian Bahr, the next iteration of PayloadManager X, version 0.90, has been released. Please note that this app is for P3D V4.2 and later only!

This version now contains 10 "people models" with 100 different textures to choose from out of the box - created by Christian. And 4 pilots that have been painted by me - unfortunately I am not much of an artist. Everyone is welcome to contribute their own models and repaints and share them with the community - (there probably won't be any updates to the models from our part).

The app is freeware, available in the DOWNLOADS-section (way down, next-before-last item in the list)

So new models can be added.
I hope Dino notices this topic and decides to convert his excellent avatars to be used with that program :jump:

Hi.

The avatars will not work because avatars have different animations for different conditions: run, stand, fall, etc.
When you attach an avatar to an airplane and as soon as the plane moves, the animation is triggered for running. Once the plane is in the air, the animation is triggered for "falling". You can try that yourself with the default Aavtar.

I was JUST going to post that, and read you already did; thanks Daube! NC
 
Good to know on the avatars, they are a new feature to me coming from FSX. I had the AAR working with a boom tanker, although I use VRS Tacpack for my tankers. I tried to load some female pax into the Cera H-60, the program would crash. The potential is there for some cool add-ons to your models.
 
Skydiving in P3Dv4

Hi!

The Lorby-SI Payload Manager, developed by Oliver Binder, has been extended with a few new features. Among other things, you can now jump off a plane with a Skydiver avatar ...

1_p3dv4_payload_manager_skydiver_1-jpg.45050



In addition to the Skydiver Avatar, which is available in male and female variations, you can now simulate an ejection seat exit (bail out) and an AI-parachutist.

The Payload Manager can either be downloaded from the Lorby product page or from the Bahrometrix download page. The Payload Manager is freeware.

Some more pictures ...

Actually, for the folks around here the video of the "ejection seat" function might be a lot more interesting :gameoff::biggrin-new:

 
Interesting, although as an Egress Tech for 26+ years, I've not worked on or remember any ejection seat that used a parasail style chute. Can't say definitively though since there are a lot of variants.
 
Hi all!

There is an update for the Payload Manager.

changes:
- There is now a checkbox that will cause PMX to stop reporting the weight of the attachments to the simulator. This can otherwise have problems with complex addons where the aircraft has its own weight and balance logic (PMDG and possibly A2A)
- The function to replace the SkyDiver with any SimObject has been repaired
- There is now an additional gauge on the SkyDiver, a "more realistic" altimeter

Special thanks to Marcel Felde! From him comes the altimeter.

Yes, I would use this immediately if I could get military flight crews or civilian airliner crews. This looks very interesting!
