Hi fellow simmers,
Currently my setup consists of 4 networked pc's.
On one of these my GC- PFD/ND display randomly stutters/pauses while in flight. This PC also runs a second copy of the GC 'instruments' showing the upper page engine display and Thomas Richter's Checklist program as well.
This PC talks to my server pc which runs FS2004 and PM CDU attached to a physical Engravity unit. The server also run PmSounds and Thomas Richter's B737-NG utility as well as driving a phidgets card.
The other two PCs run PMSystems on one of them and the other runs GC displaying the lower engine pages as well as PM MCP connected to CPFlight modules.
I'm using Windows XP Pro Service pack 2 on all PCs except for the PC running PMsystems...this one uses Windows XP Home.
I'm using the latest builds of PM (GC 462, CDU 402 and MCP 436), FSUIPC 3.90 and WideServer 6.78.
My frame rates for FS are locked at 17. The GC's are not limited in frames via UserTimer the GC frame rate is 30 Data Rate 14. When the pauses happen I see (after the pause) that the data rate drops from 14 to 8 and sometimes for longer pauses about 4. The pauses last about 1-2 seconds but sometimes 4-5 seconds.....These pauses can occur once or twice every 1 minute to 2 minutes...
This is very frustrating....Not sure what is causing it. Network is running fine with pings less than 1ms between pc's.
I tried runing just the GC in question with no other software other than a connection to FS2004 via WideClient. All other client pc's were turned off...this helped but there were still pause (less frequent and shorter in length) but they are still there...
Any ideas ? is there a setting I can set in WideClient to alliviate the drop in Data Rates ? Perhaps lowering the scenery detail in Flight Sim ????
Thank you for reading this post I hope someone can provide a clue...I will continue to investigate
:(
Cheers,
Luke
