I can't activate walkaround_v2 paid 2.5.3.

Error message "Activation error: invalid key or activation number exceeded.

Can you help me?

What do you think about this feature?

The idea would be to allow users to go up and down gate stairs during the walkaround.
The main issue is that almost no gate has the same height or alignment for stairs and jetways, as you can see in the screenshot.

So this is a feature that is impossible to implement universally, because it completely depends on the installed airport scenery and the gate position being used.

However, nothing would prevent sharing compatible profiles with, for example:

• a "G" icon for gates,

• an "S" icon for stairs,

• as well as a note indicating exactly which airport and gate are compatible with the profile.

For now, this system only works with the automatic walkaround.

Here is how it works in practice:

• While creating your automatic walkaround, you position yourself in front of the aircraft door.

• You press a command to save an A zone.

• You then move to the B zone (either at the bottom or top of the stairs) and save this second zone.

• You go down the stairs, perform your walkaround, then on the way back you use the same process to go back up before returning to your seat in the cockpit.

As you can see, I implemented a teleportation system with a fading effect in order to avoid walking through jetways or stairs that are not truly dynamic in X-Plane. Personally, I think the result works quite well, especially with the door opening sound which adds a lot to the immersion 😊

Would this be a feature you would like to see added to the plugin?
Feel free to share your ideas, suggestions, or possible improvements before I go further with the development.

Happy flying ✈️

first of all, thank you for WalkAround v2 — I really enjoy the immersion it adds to X-Plane.

I recently purchased version 2.5.0 and configured movement controls on my Xbox controller (forward, backward, sideways movement, start/stop). These functions work very well.

However, I noticed that avatar rotation (turning left/right) currently seems to be possible only via mouse movement. The WalkAround command list in X-Plane does not appear to provide assignable commands for left/right view rotation or avatar turning.

For users operating the avatar primarily with an Xbox controller during external inspections or walkarounds, it would be extremely helpful if turning/rotation could also be assigned to a controller thumbstick axis.

At the moment, movement works nicely on the controller, but having to use the mouse simultaneously for turning feels less immersive and less ergonomic.

Would it be possible to implement assignable “Turn Left / Turn Right” or camera/avatar yaw controls in a future update?

I think this would greatly improve controller usability and immersion for WalkAround users.

Thank you very much for considering this feature request.

Ive just purchased and...

I’m having trouble getting WalkAround V2.5.0 working in X-Plane 12 on Linux.

System / setup:

• X-Plane 12.4.2-r2

• Linux Mint 22.2

• X-Plane path: /home/denny/X-Plane 12/

• Tested with both:

  • ToLiss A330-900

  • Default Laminar Airbus A330-300

• WalkAround version: V2.5.0

Install location:
/home/denny/X-Plane 12/Resources/plugins/Walkaround_V2
/home/denny/X-Plane 12/Resources/plugins/Walkcabin_V2

The plugin folders are directly inside Resources/plugins, not nested inside another folder.

Inside Walkaround_V2/64/ I have:
lin.xpl
mac.xpl
win.xpl

The plugin appears to load in X-Plane:

• Plugins > Walkaround appears

• Plugins > Walkaround Recorder appears

• The side Walkaround UI appears

• The menu shows:

  • Walk around the plane - Start

  • Walk in cabin - Start

  • Aircraft type: LINER (Cabin+Stairs allowed)

  • Save location WA

  • Options

  • Version V2.5.0

  • View my results

  • Reset sequence

What I have tried:

• Removed the free Walkaround_Player folder, so only the paid V2 folders are installed.

• Restarted X-Plane after installation.

• Tried with the ToLiss A330-900.

• Tried with the default Laminar A330-300.

• Saved an exterior Walkaround position.

• Saved a cabin position at floor level inside the aircraft.

• Checked options:

  • Allow walkaround is ticked.

  • Start outside cockpit is ticked.

  • Start the Walk Cabin lowered is ticked.

  • Aircraft type shows as LINER (Cabin+Stairs allowed).

• Bound the Walkaround movement commands in X-Plane keyboard settings:

  • Walkaround: Move forward = W

  • Walkaround: Move backward = S

  • Walkaround: Move left (strafe) = A

  • Walkaround: Move right (strafe) = D

Problem:

• Clicking Walk around the plane - Start does nothing.

• Clicking Walk in cabin - Start does nothing.

• Pressing W/A/S/D after starting does nothing.

• The side UI appears, but clicking the start/play buttons does not put me into walk mode.

• I cannot find a visible activation/register/licence option in the Walkaround or Walkaround Recorder menus.

The key error from Log.txt appears to be repeated several times:

[Walkaround] Licence bloquee: cles SASL introuvables (main.key/serial.key manquants)
-> Activez via le plugin WalkCabin_V2 (SASL Protect).
-> Token: /home/denny/X-Plane 12/Output/preferences/Walkaround_V2.lic
-> Cles SASL: /home/denny/X-Plane 12/Resources/plugins/WalkCabin_V2/data/modules

So it looks like WalkAround is blocked because the SASL licence keys are missing:

main.key
serial.key

Could you please advise how I activate WalkAround V2.5.0 via WalkCabin_V2 / SASL Protect on Linux, or where I should enter the serial/licence key? I can see the plugin menus, but I cannot find an activation option.

Thanks.

I hope you’re all doing well.

I’m happy to introduce the standalone automatic Walkaround player
This project was created to enable partnerships with aircraft developers, allowing their customers to enjoy the automatic walkaround feature even if they don’t own my plugin.

The goal is simple: not to limit users and not to force them to purchase Walkaround V2.

Installation

• Simply extract the plugin into the plugins folder of X-Plane.

• If you already own the official Walkaround plugin, disable it, otherwise it will take priority over this standalone player.

• Then place the provided profile (or any other profile) into the aircraft folder.

Example structure

Aircraft\Laminar Research\Cessna Citation X\walkaround\Cessna_CitationX

For any other aircraft, the process is the same:

Aircraft\Aircraft_Name\walkaround\Profile_Name

Important

• The player is currently in Alpha 0.4.1

• If you encounter any issues, please open a new topic on the official forum and follow the provided procedure

Compatibility

The plugin is compatible with:

• Mac

• Linux

• Windows

• Vulkan / Metal / Zink

Updates are handled via SkunkCrafts Updater.

Thank you for your support and feedback 🙏

I'm having a problem when I launch X-Plane. I start the simulator outside the aircraft (Zibo), everything goes well up to that point, I walk inside the aircraft, but then when I try to start the walkaround, X-Plane crashes and closes. Screenshot and log file attached.

i have the 2.5.0 stable walkaround version

Thank you

Log.txt

Although you can create your own Walkaround profiles, I can also create and share them for you with the community.

If you would like a profile for a specific aircraft, please reply to this topic with the following information:

• The exact aircraft name

• The official download or product page link

• Ideally, the aircraft’s preflight inspection checklist or walkaround procedure

This will help me create the most realistic and accurate profile possible.

Thank you all for your interest and feedback.

Best regards,
VFR Scenery / Furax84 Simulation

I am wondering about keybinds in v2, though. There are many available, and it's quite cumbersome finding keys even for the most basic movement controls without deleting some of X-Plane's defaults. The previous version seemed to default to WASD to walk around, without changing keys in X-Plane settings -- can that not be done in the new version?

A workaround I thought of would be using my joystick for walking, but I also don't see a way to bind anything there (e.g. hat switch). I can bind the hat switch to controls, but again not without removing any other function bound to the hat switch.

J'ai un petit ajustement à faire c'est que je ne parviens pas à faire pivoter le personnage. J'ai le tobii et j'ai coché la case dans les prefs. J'ai les memes touches que toi pour le deplacement et le personnage ne marche qu'en linéaire. Impossible de le pivoter et le mettre face à l'escalier par exemple. J'ai mis la cam au sol, enregistré la position comme dans la notice mais ce detail m'echappe.

Merci et encore bravo pour ta chaine qui est d'un grand secours

hello Furax84

I have a small adjustment to make which is that I cannot rotate the character. I have the tobii and I checked the box in the prefs. I have the same keys as you for movement and the character only works linearly. Impossible to rotate it and face the stairs for example. I put the cam on the ground, recorded the position as in the instructions but this detail escapes me.

Thank you and congratulations again for your channel which is of great help

This feature is ideal for:

• 🛫 Virtual airlines

• ✈️ Aircraft developers

• 🎨 Anyone looking for a more immersive and personalized experience

I've been trying make use of the ready made walk_around profiles that are enabled in profile manager, but don't seem to start automatically. This is the case for the following ac:

Tollis A320, A321, Dornier 328. Yet have to try the A 319. Cabin height was set for all of them. Maybe also it can be noted by the authors which kind of walk it is, cabin and outside, only outside or only cabin.

The set you created for SSG 748i however works right away. Am I missing something?

Please feel free to share any feedback or suggestions to help further improve the experience.

Best regards,

I thought, let's have a test with the latest Walkaround 2.5 beta2. I have attached my log.txt.
When I start XP, no issues. I select a LINER, go outside the a/c, and start walking. No issues seen till I want to select the OPTIONS window. Then XP crashes immediately. I have seen this twice before writing this message.

Let me know if you need more information or if I need to do other tests.
BTW, I use an XP12.4.1-r1 configuration which is empty. So no other plugins, no other a/c, no add-on sceneries and no FWL scripts.

Log.txt

The more precise your reports are, the faster fixes can be made 👍

Bonsoir, je trouve quand même incroyable de vendre pour Mac ce logiciel ( Mac étant le parent pauvre) au même prix que la version PC. Il plante avec Traffic global.

Heureusement j'avais une copie de la version inférieur, mais quand même, c'est incroyable.

Faites nous une vraie mise à jour pour Mac et compatible avec les autres plugin .

Merci

Downgrading to Walkaround V2.4.3 allows the sim to load as is. Attached the log.txt. I tried running this under GDB to get you some output, but oddly, when under gdb, the simulator fully loaded. When I load without GDB, it crashes, not seen that before. What else can I provide to help you debug the beta?

Will update if I find any other patterns!
