Runway Awareness and Advisory System (RAAS)

I am in the process of building a Runway Awareness and Advisory System (RAAS) for the airliners in FS4, using the DLL. So far, it is working well; it operates as part of a wider simulation tool that I am building, which will act like a QAR system, that monitors the crew and aircraft (Hard landings, stable approach criteria 1000ft/500ft)

RAAS callouts are the originals from THALES

I have the audio files if someone else wants to try on Mac. I dont own one.

All major airports have been added, and RAAS on landing (4NM Detection from runway) a few bugs to iron out, for example, Dubai -

Older Aircraft user a slightly different synthetic voice

For some reason, the DLL outputs the wrong aircraft heading; it's always offset by 90 degrees or more. Here in Dubai, I am lined up at runway 30R, but the telemetry says i am at 152 degrees, the raw data shows this too. I can correct for it, but has anyone else noticed the incorrect telemetry?

Thanks. A question regarding RAAS, I have it functioning using LAT/LONG coords and a database for each runway, the A350 ROW/ROP can see the actual runway with distance remaining. Is there a way to output that data through the DLL?

I think Aerofly already sends the full runway data, so you don't even need an external database at all. But I don't know the message name from the top of my head, could be something like "Aircraft.OnRunway", "Aircraft.AlmostOnRunway",... but because we actually have time off during Easter holidays I'm not in the office to check right now.
You can always add another sender with a custom message using the user folder and a very simple option.tmc and system.tmd file and send out all values that you see on any of the displays inside of the cockpit.

Thanks, that has saved me a huge amount of time building each runway. The identifier that works is called Aircraft.BestRunwayIdentifier

Do you mean reading these outputs from the system,tmd? Is there a full list for the A350, or can I just pick any that say .output?

Thanks, it all seems to be working after a few test flights. I am using radio altimeter data and on-ground/in-air logic to prevent false warnings after take-off or on roll-out. Approach callouts are using 3D coordinates.

v1.0 Uploded, run A350_QAR.exe (This mod works with any aircraft)

RAAS.zip

Quick recap - RAAS will identify your take-off runway and call out your landing runway. Runway distance remaining will be added at a later date.

QAR (Quick access recorder) is used by airlines to monitor crew performance; this basic version will monitor pitch/bank, stable by 1000ft and 500ft (not more than 5 kts below Vapp or 10 kts above). Vertical speed should not exceed 1000fpm below 1000ft.

It also monitors the landing rate. In reality, a firm landing is not a bad thing, especially if the runway is wet or contaminated.

A report is sent after each flight. Video is a test landing, I left it running to check the brake temps. As always, this mod was just created for fun; I am not a dev.
