moreover: one of the previous HC crash was EXACTLY at liftoff....today EXACTLY at touchdown.
i use all and only skalarki hardware and was thinking: what happens at liftoff and touchdown on the soft side (both profiler and fmgs)...is there any interaction during these phases?
maybe i'm simply wrong but wanted to share my thoughts...hopefully marcin will read this.

Hi JL

This is the ND showing two parallel lines instead of the "connecting" circle. The two pictures are showing the same flight plan, just different scales/ranges.

@Fil: hardware connect itself does not do anything special at touchdown/liftoff. May a trim thing with hardware?

Hi JL

Have tried again, first all looked good, see picture, then I changed on the "PROG" page in the MCDU the CRZ altitude and suddenly the wrong drawing on the ND appeared. No idea whether this was related or pure coincidence.

Cheers
Greg

PS: Seems to be coincidence as I have tried once more and showed wrong drawing right immediately.

hi jl,
did u touch the ap/fbw and trim area?
after clean b36 install i have strange trim "fluctuations" during normal manouvering: when hand flying the autotrim inputs are usually huge and keeps going from up to down and the other way around. this makes difficult to find a steady attitude.
this was definitely not happening before

Thanks, JL, for the new full version. Great job!

I have a question regarding the WideFMGS configuration. When installing B36 the configuration comes up and shows only the ports through port5. Like this:
[widefmgs]
ip=192.168.1.90
port=8003
port2=8004
port3=8005
port4=8006
port5=8107

I didn't do any changes and exited the configuration screen. In the WideFMGS.ini file, however, there was still 'port6' configured. So I deleted 'port6' on all PC's in the WideFMGS.ini files. A test fligth from LSZH RWY 28 to VOR WIL and back to LSZH RWY 16 was successful (it's short, I know ...).

Did I do the right thing? Is 'port6' not needed anymore?

Regards
Adrian

jeehell

10-24-2014, 06:46 PM

Hi,

@Buentead: the port6 is no longer used, this is just remains of previous versions, you did nothing bad.

@Fil: yes I played a bit with some settings. You may try the 36.1 trial see below (I put less sensitive auto trim there).

@All: I made a test version. This may not work at all, I did not test 100%. It may solve some bugs in network comms, as well as the long lasting skalarki/fscockpit bug.
http://www.jeehell.org/A320FMGS_B36.1.exe

If it does not work for you, please revert to B36 and report your crashes here. This is not meant to be 100% stable...

JL

hi jl,
just installed 36.1 with hotfix...GREAT!
trim now is ACTING PERFECTLY...better and faster than before (something real pilots flying my sim always asked for) but with no fluctuations.
had little time so just flown couple of circuits but everything seems perfect and stable.
of course more time needed to check soft stability.
as reported in the bug tracking strange behaviour of ils at lirf (ils 16 L and 34 L).
thx a lot

Hi JL

I downloaded the B36.1 tonight at ~16:30Z time. After updating all 3 PC's I did a short test flight from LSZH to LSZH.

HardwareConnect.exe crashed after some minutes - engines not even started and still at the gate. The log is found in "HClog - after crash.txt". It doesn't mean anything if HardwareConnect crashed so early. I observed crashes very irregular.

Then I restarted HardwareConnect.exe and was able to complete the short test flight. This log after the test flight can be found in file "HClog - after restart - no crash.txt"

Thank you very much for your time and effort in improving your software even further!

Hi JL and friends
Since the last update I have problems with thrust. The turbines start normally but they do not run high when I push the Thrust Lever according in front. The reverse thrust is functioning normally, the airplane moves back ..
I also have all joysticks readjusted with the config.exe but unfortunately no success. Also, an installation on version B35.3 did not yield any success. Can someone please help me?
Until now I have never had such a problem. The software is awesome and many thanks to you JL

hi karl,
never had this kind of issue so sounds like a local problem.
in FMGS CONFIG after checking all joy assigments u HAVE to configure ALL detents for both thrust levers: confirm u did?
did u unassign all joy axis from FS and FSUIPC?

Hi Fil !

Yes I think so. I configure all joysticks and Throttle detents two times but no success.
All axis in FS are unassign and in FSUIPC i don´t no? I must look at it. Maybee it´s the failure.

Thanks for the great Software, Version 36.1 works great, but I found 2 small Problems. If I turn off the Autopilot, the Master Warning led does not go out by itself. The second thing is, if I turn off the SPD Managed Mode the HDG Managed Mode is also switched off. Those are the only little things that I could find, everything else works fantastic. Again many thanks for the very good work.

when the apu is running it feeds its own generator....so the electrical systems of the aircraft are normally operated...
am not sure if apu has its own battery or uses the aircraft batteries...anyway they're used ONLY for apu start...after that apu gen starts working.
your problem was probably something different and not related to apu
regards
fil

Hi Fil, I found this thread on pprune -- http://www.pprune.org/engineers-technicians/487467-a320-apu.html
<<will the APU take over the supply of electricity to the aircraft from the GPU? >>
No, external power button will be blue on with the GPU supplying. Once APU is available you will need to press the external power button to txfr over to the APU genny.

I would note I am a pilot not an engineer.

--
I did not press the EXTERNAL POWER button to transfer to APU so that might have been my issue. Will test again. Cheers.

filippoporcari

11-07-2014, 04:00 AM

on the SD ELEC page u csn easily monitor which generator is on bus.
btw...the APU itself is "self sustaining" and not battery drain while it is running; if u had ext pwr on and u use apu for engine starting the ext pwr should be supposed to be disconnected...but u can also start engines using ext pwr and no apu at all providing u have ext HP air connected.
anyway this should not be the reason of your issue.

Stefan,

Without more info, I cannot do anything. I did not write the interface with Skalarki hardware, and it's hard for me to tell where the error is because it is very likely inside that module.
At least try to get a log somewhere (hardware connect for instance), and note if a particular action is causing the crash. Also what is disconnected exactly? Is it completely frozen or not?

JL

Hi JL
checked the log and the strange thing is that it was last modified on 1.10.14. When does the log will be modified, or does it has a set path which may be wrong? Best is to do a clean installation, or do you have a better idea? Or shall I rename the log file and check if its creating a new one, don't want to set up all again....

Hi,

I powered up my cockpit yesterday and left it for about half an hour, standing at the gate. When I came back hardware connect had crashed.

So I suppose these crashes does not have anything to do with a specific action within the cockpit. At least I have not done anything in these 30 minutes. I am using all Skalarki hardware. I have kept the hardware connect log file, but it does not really say much.

Thanks

another way to have the updater on demand and not on every startup is to add to the starter.ini file the line Updater=no and the autoupdater won't be started at every startup but only on user action running the updater itself.

Hi guys, JL,

Sorry to post this here, but I've been looking for info with no luck, I was wondering if anybody has had any experience with adding motorized trim wheels to your sim? I bought an opencockpits throttle with motorized trim wheels from a friend, and I've been able to figure out the throttle levers using the SIOC creator, but I just have no idea how to add the trim wheels to jeehell. Do I use the fsx offset for trim and create my own script? Or is there a special offset on jeehell? Can I use the SIOC creator for this? Just like with the levers?

Jose

Hi Jose !

I have also a Throttle with motorized Trimmweels self made. I think you must do it whith your own script whith FSUIPC Offset Variable and Sioc. I will do it in the next weeks. As far as I know there is no possibility for the SIOC Creater settings.
Karl

turbovela

11-10-2014, 10:46 AM

Karl,

Thanks for the reply, I have been able to assign the trim in fsx and use it manually to the fsx aircraft as a test, have not completed the script for the auto trim, but the same assignment on the manual trim does not change any trim values within JeeHell. I am using the offset 08C0 if I'm not mistaken (I'd have to look at the offset list or the script I have to verify, but I'm pretty sure that's the offset). Let me know if you have the same issue once you start to figure out your throttle quadrant. Thanks again for the reply.

Respectfully,

Jose

AUA171

11-11-2014, 05:34 AM

Hi Jose!

08C0 is for "Engine 1 Manifold Pressure: Inches Hg * 1024" thats not the correct offset.
I guess you have to use 0BC0 (Elevator trim control input: –16383 to +16383), it seems its just a typo (8 instead of B)

strangest thing is that after latest 2 fmgs updates abd whichever skalarkiIO.dll i use the axis inputs sent from hardware (thrust levers, spoilers and flaps) are not sending inputs to fmgs...the hardware works because i tested it and the pots are sending imputs...also in fmgs config window the levers are sending inputs...they're not recognized in fmgs operation.

Although it is loaded with hardware connect, and configured correctly, when you startup the levers are placed in LVR MCT and you cannot controll them with the THRLVRs interface.

Hi,

There are some issues with networking and communications in last update. I'm uploading a new update just now, it will be ready in ~5 minutes, I hope it will sort it out.

As for analog inputs using the new skalarkiIO.dll, it's not yet working. As I said, it's still experimental...
I'll try to update that later tonight.

Hi all,

There was a mistake, auto updater tried to install B36.2 instead of 36.3. I corrected the updater.
@Space, yes, if the updater launches the full install by itself, then you have to do it...

The full B36.3 package has a little issue, it will trigger again the auto update. I'm updating the package, but it will not hurt you to update now...

Hi,

This should correct the Skalarki missing STBY freqs, as well as adding the analog inputs:

You NEED to reassign the analog axis in the FMGS config application though.
It also may not work...

11-16-2014, 05:25 AM

Hi JL

Thanks for the update. Following some feedback of the B36.3 test.

The following behavior is with both DLL's (old and new):
RMP Device
- Frequencies only showed after Active/Stby button pressed
- kHz range shows only 2 digit, e.g. 122.67 instead of 122.675
- 1st officer RMP: kHZ frequency change only affects VHF3 independent of selected VHF radio
- Captain RMP: all OK
- VHFx indicator not initialized during start up. Indicator only shown when switched at least once

RUD Trim
- Rud Trim value only shows up when trim switch used. After being used, it remains on. Similar behavior as RMP devices.

SkalarkiIO.log content
- Error = bind failed with error, Code = 10048

New SkalarkiIO DLL:
- Analogue axis not tested yet - I haven't done the reassign yet. Hence, they don't work as you wrote. I will do them later.
- With the new DLL HardwareConnect crashes sometimes during startup with the following error shown:
HardwareConnect.exe Bad Image

C:\A320FMGS\Hardware Modules\SkalarkiIO.dll - log is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support.

General B36.3 behaviour
Every now and then I'm loosing connection between the FMGSServer and its clients. If communication is lost, the WideFMGS clients show 'Access violation'. This behavior I haven't seen in B36.2.

B36.2 and B36.2 versions
The WideFMGS clients do not reconnect if the WideFMGSServer is restarted. On the client side I see repeating messages "MsgListMutexMain1 timed out".

Adrian

jeehell

11-16-2014, 07:05 AM

Adrian,

Regarding the RMPs, I do not have the behaviors you describe. Please check again your profiler settings.
I can see the last digits, also the RMP2 encoders both change the RMP2 STBY freq, and everything is displayed when it is supposed to be displayed...

The rudder trim is not modeled in my software. What you see is added by Marcin. I do not provide support for that.

SkalarkiIO.log is not produced by my dll, but by the older one. You can delete that file to avoid confusion.

The "hardwareconnect.exe bad image error" is startling. I never experienced this error. when does it happen? at the moment you start the application?

"MsgListMutexMain1 timed out" is not a problem, it's an indication and should not cause any crash/loss of communication.
I do not have any issues with communications in my tests (2 comptuers). I can stop and restart server/clients without errors. What is your network configuration?

Hi Guys

All changes JL made in SkalarkiIO.dll are not tested by myself so far. I will do tests tomorrow and will give feedback.
To get all working new JLFMGS.dll will be needed (new version was only supplied to Filippo). Summarizing not all issues might come from JL, some might be from my side as well. Once I have tested all I will publish new SkalarkiIO Profiler as well as new .dll

Regards, Marcin

buentead

11-16-2014, 01:31 PM

@fil:
I'm still using the SkalarkiIOProfiler 4.1[beta] and not the DLL you received from Marcin. I think this could be the problem. Hence, I'll wait until Marcin releases the next version.

@JL:
I'll postpone my B36.3 tests until Marcin releases next version of IOProfiler. Disregard my last reported B36.3 issues as the root cause might be somewhere else.

Nevertheless, the issue with the WideFMGS in B36.2 still exists. I'm using 2 clients connected to the WideFMGSServer. Many times the reconnect works. But occasionally I still get the Access Violation at address 004047B7 (writing to address 18B72000). Furthermore, if the client doesn't connect, then also one of the ports doesn't get reconnected, e.g. port 8004. But as said, it's occasional and hence, it's a minor issue for me.

Thank you all for your support

I am currently testing the new B36. I am using a touchsrcreen for the MCDUs. unfortunately the first RSK does not respond. I klick on it but it does not work. All other Buttons work. I am using the MCDU in the normal view (not "Display only").

Hi,

i finaly updated from 35.1 to 36.3 on friday but got the same problem. The first right key doesnt work which makes it impossible to align. Ive also seen that the PROG abd PERF pages show up some amber "display problem" display error.
Problem remained even after a complete new install of the entire system (windows, FSX, jeehell)
I am using the MCDU on the same system as fsx. only pfd/nd/ed and sd are on a neetwork system.
navdata is ok and the problem was gone after i "downgraded" back to 35.1

tomorrow ill try to run a separate 36.3 installation to see if i find any differences between 35 and 36.

Hello,

my modules on the networked computer lose their connection to the fmgs server after several seconds.

my setup:

Widefmgs server
VRInsight Airbus FCU (hardware instead of the software fcu)

remote pc:

both mcdus
cpt pfd
cpt nd

The widefmgsserver says that all ports are connected and when i start the remote pc's starter, the fmgs server says that all modules on the remote pc are connected, but after some seconds (10-15) they lose connection..

I did not change anything except updating the fmgs to 36.3 on both pcs.

Hi Jean Luc,

Tonights flight after updating to latest FMGS 36.3.
- CockpitSonic RMP digits are now correct again
- Had a connection problem which required restart of the OH and MCDU - both on my non-FS PC. This resulted in a complete mid-air shutdown of the aircraft with obvious high workload for the pilot as a consequence. (see log below - network consists of all new network switches). Is there a way to avoid a complete restart of the client PC items?
- An odd new problem that may originate from JeeHell: After some time the joystick hat which passes non used by Jeehell to P3D no longer works. Likewise the trigger on my Joystick assigned to dual brakes does not pass through as held continously. Any thoughts on what this can originate from?

Thanks

Been away from the sim for a couple of months due other projects, but have just got back in and upgraded.

All seems good as it upgraded from 34.1 to 36.3 ok. the only thing I noticed, and it happened to all 3 computers in the sim, was that around installing 9/10 of the files, it stalled and I had to retry a couple of times, but it seemed to finish the upgrades as far as I can tell.

The main problem is that the button that turns on the Master APU does not function, both on my buttons and on the overhead buttons in the program. All overhead buttons seem to work ok.

Perhaps you might have a quick look and see if there is a problem or was the problem due to the upgrade delay of some kind.

Kind regards..............Brian W.

Hi JL,
i have copied the navdate folder from the server to the remote pc, but unfortunately it makes no change, after several seconds the connection is lost. I have no error messages on the widfmgsserver (no Fpln OnError), all ports are connected.

I have unistalled all fmgs software from both pcs. reinstalled the latest here provided version and then upgraded both computers then again copied the navdata folder but with no change :-(

the interesting thing is that although the connection is down, the remote pcs modules seem to recive informations - if I set a new altitude on the fcu bevore the init phase of the mcdu, the mcdu (on the remote pc) says that a new cruise alt is set. but i cannot delet that message, the keys are dead. same with the pfd and nd: i can change the modes on the fcu connected to the server pc and this is shown on the nd of the remote pc. it seems as if the connection is only in one direction.

I even tried to switch off firewalls, no change.

Then I have tried something different: I disabeled the ovhd on the remote pc and activated it on a second monitor on the fsx pc.

Unfortunately nothing changed but a new thing:

The peroformance of the second display (mouse moves) where the overhead is is very poor. this is only when the fsx is connected to the server. when i start the fmgs or the overhead without fsx running, the performance is normal. also when the overhead is not running but fsx. this was also not before the b36.3

I have tried every thing I can think of and have done half a dozen or more installs and updates to get to 36.4 but the overhead will still not work at all now, so it is worse than before. Still running 3 seperate computers on a full sized simulator.

I had a feeling the autoupdater was not doing things correctly this morning as it would take ages to load anything and then closed down. Later today it updated a lot faster and less updates, so something did not seem correct.

I also did the controls and buttons on the Server, so that was ok. It seems now the problem is with the Overhead and the FDS Cards. I sure do not wish to go through the lot of those again with that many buttons and Leds. !! It shows that they are connected and working .

It seems some things have changed in the last few updates, so perhaps I am missing something.

I have gone back to 34.1 and all works fine except for a couple of things that I suspect you have corrected in the later versions.

I am also using the latest version of P3D and have deleted FSX.

I will try again in the morning and see if I can get some further information to pass on.

Again many thanks, Regards.................Brian W.

To all: there have been issues with some antivirus for a while. Some effects are files not being copied during installation or update. This can mean communication issues between the apps. So make sure you're not in that case.
Also, windows sometimes block the comm if the applications are not run with the same privileges. I recommend using administrator rights for all apps.

JL

Hi Jehell,
after your last update the jehell ware server says that the ewd, pfd, and nd on the client are not connected but all seems to be work fine. Is this normally?

thanks again for your hard work on this nice software! And off course that I controll the radio in smaller steps now!!! Perfect. I can turn now in frequencies like 132.155

Went through everything and on all computers and exempted necessary programs on Windows Defender and turned off the firewalls, made all run as Administrator. Loaded 36.4 and all went well. everything connected as it should but could not get the APU Master Switch to operate.

I checked the overhead graphics with the Mouse and all Switches and Leds worked both on the graphics and my overhead Leds/switches. All except the APU Master switch. I even went back and re-saved the APU Master Switch in the hardware folder, but made no difference.

All parts checked as being connected ok.

So there is not much more I can tell at this stage, except to go back to the earlier version. I suspect there is just one setting that is incorrect, but hard to tell which one.

Regards and many thanks................Brian W.

Hi Brian. If you have fire buttons connected in FIRE panel make sure APU FIRE is not ON. This will block APU MASTER switch. I had similiar issue with one of my customers.

Hi Brian,

What hardware interface do you use for the switch?

Edit: I hadn't seen Marcin's reply... It could indeed be a good reason. Same applies to the engine switches.

Hi,

can somebody tell me the minimum and recommended hardwarerequirements for the PFD/ND-Software? Tried to run Cpt and Fo Instruments on my i3 with 3,3 Ghz x 4, 8 Gb ram and it seems that it needs full cpu power. Running just Cpt or Fo- Instruments is ok...

Thank you

brianwilliamson

11-26-2014, 02:56 PM

Thanks Marcin and JL. No, the Fire switch was OK as far as I can tell. The interface Cards for the switches and leds are Flight Deck Solutions.

The weird thing is that I can go back to the earlier version and all works ok, but as soon as I upgrade and install the 36.4, I get the problem. Also the other funny thing is that the Overhead does not work the APU Master even using the mouse.

I will be back in the cockpit after breakfast and see If I can do a new install on the computer where the overhead is and try to figure out what is happening and report back. I will check the switches on the interfaceit cards to make sure there nothing turned on.

Many thanks.................Brian W.

Hi again,

Try to first just change the fire pushbuttons in IIT creator (no need to redo the whole sw config). The real switches are two latching positions, normally pushed in when supposed to be working. So check you did not swap the events. There was an earlier bug which I corrected, as before that update, a wrong configuration could work.

JL

brianwilliamson

11-26-2014, 03:38 PM

Thanks JL, will go through the Switches on the ITface it cards to make sure.
It has to be something simple, just need to track it down. It sounds as if we are on the right track.

Thanks again................Brian W.

brianwilliamson

11-26-2014, 05:38 PM

Ok that was the trouble...............FIRE HANDLES !!

It would have taken a lot of time to spot that one, as I could not see any visible signs on the overhead until I brought the overhead display up and started pushing buttons with the mouse.

So a big thanks to JL and especially to Marcin.

Ok back to the job.

Many thanks....................Brian W.

sorry for bringing up the disconnect Problem again, but I now have it again.

There are no error Messages on the widefmgs log, all ports are conneted and it seems as if the communication from the Server to the modules on the remote pc works but not vice versa (i cannot klick on any button or Switch on the Overhead, i cannot use the Keyboard of the mcdu).

could it be the w-lan? I have the router about 5 meters away from both Computers and a good Connection. there is also the wlan suspend mode deactivated.

Good Evening everybody!!
Me too stubenflieger; i got this disconnection "problem" between the server and the others pc's from B36.2.. With the latest update i tought the problem was solved as yesterday i completed a long flight without any disconnection or problem. But this evening the connection has started to broke up again with hundreds of MsgListMutex time out on the clients and disconnection message on the wideserver .I've done everything from uninstalling the whole suite on all the pc's, starting with fresh programs without existing user configs, as well giving to all exe admin privileges, no firewall or antivirus, but without success. If i revert back to 35.7 everything is ok.
Apart from that; i really want to say thank you to jeehell for this fantastic suite. He makes my dreams comes true!!
btw Sorry for my poor english!!

ok, now i have tried something different. i disconnected my third Monitor on the remote pc and did not connect it to the fsx pc. now everything works fine - no disconnects.

could that have been the reason? Maybe because the pc had more workload with the Monitor? it is a usb Monitor, so it has a Software graphics Card.

With the latest version installed (clean full install on all 3 computers), on the computer running both sides PFD and ND, the CPU load is always 100%. This makes the visuals laggy, which has not been before. Can you check this please, Jean Luc?

Thank you,
Stephan

EDIT: well, just went back to B36.3,, the CPU load was still between 95-100% ... so I kicked out the Dual Core AMD 6000+ and switched to a Quad core AMD X955 ... now the CPU load is between 50 and 60% and everything is running smooth ...

jeehell

11-29-2014, 07:05 PM

Hi

- the msg mutex warning is not a sign of disconnection
- I have seen issues with administrator rights with last versions. Make sure you run ALL applications with admin rights. Make sure your antivirus does not block anything. Working on an earlier version is not a warranty it'll work just the same way with the new version.
- please try to copy the nav data on all your clients.
- if possible, put the ovhd on the server.
- I can certify the software works on a Sim with 4 networked PCs
- PFDs and ND do use a lot of CPU. No going back there.

Thank you, JL, for the software update! I did a flight from Zurich to London Heathrow without problems (2.5h online). Very cool!

There are 4 minor cases I noticed:
- Sometimes, E/WD duplicates the screen of SD. Usually, after a restart of both programs, E/WD will be correct
- On the SD page "Engine", the start valve position shows open and close (as a cross) when the valve supposed to be closed. The open position is correct.
- I have to run the WideFMGSServer with the Windows priority set to "Above Normal". If I don't change the priority, then the two clients may loose input connection to the server (if this happens, the output communication (from server point of view) still works).
- On the Skalarki ECAM, the light of the selected page doesn't show up. Only CLR and STS works.

Hello Jeehell, since last updated I have been experiencing problems on running your great software. very slow time in loading the software from client to server. no EWD page on ecam has been replaced by the SD page(so double SD on ecam). no green lights when selected the ecam system pages. it loses connection with server. Hoping you can solve those issues with an upgrade.
Thanks for all you do for us.
Cheers.
Ben

Hallo,

today i made an short test flight and it looks like i got the same problems like Ben! Sorry for my post yesterday, i made only an short test view...
EWD and SD on a Client losing the server. After i restart it, it works for the test-time without a problem. The Ecam lights are not illuminating if i push one of this buttons. The Overhead Korryslights for the Electric and Air Condition Panel doesn't work correctly. If i turn on the external power on the OVHD this panels are in the "ON" Mode, so the Bleed is default etc, but i didn't turn on the Korryswitches for this! The Fuelpanel works correctly... Power on... the Korrylight "OFF" illuminating.

I hope you can solve the problem and a big thank you for your patience!

Cheers

Is there any way to go back to the last version before you publish the 36.5?

After updating to B36.* we are facing same disconnecting problems with OVHD+FCU which are on one client pc.
Prior never any issue, but now, after takeoff or 30 minutes in flight it comes quite suddenly.
We are working with 1 server, 3 clients, all WIN7, starter.exe executed as Administrator. No firewall, no anti virus scanner. Navdata folder from Server has been copied to all clients. Even a clean reinstall doesn't solve this matter.

Any suggestion what we can do further?

Hi JL,

made the update and a short flight from EDDN to EDDF! It seems to be all works now perfect again! Only a short disconnect, but reconnected automaticly and works without any issue... only a small interrupt while the disconnection. But it´s fine. ;) Think it was a small lag on my HUB.

THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK!!!!!

In addition, got two small questions:

1. In some A320 Landing-Videos you can hear a call-out sound "MINIMUM" So is this nice :) call-out already integrated in your software, or did you plan it for the future? ;)

2. I use for booth PFD and ND, one client machine with the following profile and a matrox triple head 2 go digital:
Intel Core 2 Duo E4600 with 2,4 GHZ and 2 GB RAM on a 32 Bit Win7 System. Graphics card are a Nvidia Geforce 6800. I know it´s not the fastest and newest system, but befor you put the Navdatasystem to the clients ( i hope you know what i mean) it works very smooth and ok. So my problem is, that the CPU and RAM ussage are very high and the display is therefore very lagi now. So it´s seems to be that your PFD/ND needs some power. ;) It´s ok for me to made an small hardware upgrade, maybe, but can you tell me what is the minium or recommended system configuration for it?

Looking forward and again, a big big big thank your for your hard work!

Wish now a happy christmas and happy new year! ;)

Ok, there's good news and bad.

The he good news is I've sorted the spoiler issue. It looks like a previous beta wa installed on one of my networked machines. Rolling everyone back to B36.6 did the trick.

Bad news is that B36.6 is not very stable on my system and I suffered lots of disconnections during my flight. So go figure.

What's really strange to me is that I downloaded and installed B36.7 on all my machines, or so I though, but it seemed to think it was B36.6 anyway. Go figure.

Dear JL,

Even I am currently not able to use your software and subsequently not being able to give you any feedback, I gotta say you ‘ve done an awesome job this year. I am still tracking this forum carefully as a reader and this is really a unique piece of software!!! I am really happy that the community increases, you can be very proud!
Jean Luc, I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and happy new year 2015.

I might repeat myself: In case you need any details from a full motion sim or further cockpit details ... drop me a line.

@ all:

I do know some of you, some of you I’ve met personally, some even came around to pick up parts of my old sim and there are many I don't know ... I wanna wish you ALL a relaxing and joyful Christmas time.

I hope to be back in the game in 2015 to support this software and this forum more actively. At the moment I am working on a new private A320 sim project. This new sim will be based on some unique professional full motion sim sample-parts and real components! In case you are interested, here is a little teaser for you:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6jnnXhYqQ0

Other videos will follow in 2015, also with JLs software !!!

BTW: I do look for contacts who have knowledge in CNC metal sheet production & bending. Further I look for options for powder coating. Just send me an email: a320rob@gmx.de

Merry Christmas to you all,

Robert

Hi JL, hi all!

I tried 36.7 as well:
- No client disconnect if I open all as admin. (if not, disconnect of client within 30sec.)
- AP/FBW disconnects and reconnects all the time in a 4sec. interval (located on server of course)
- I´m using a VAS throttle with no problems on B34. But suddenly it lost all values in fmgs_config.(I did no update on anything at all) This is the same behaviour in 36.7: I can set all gates (and i see all values), but after save and close nothing works. If
reopening fmgs_config all throttle values are gone. It seems to me that it does not store these values.
Therefore i can use the F1-F4 buttons (FSX). Joysticks work well.

So at the moment: No FBW and no thrust. Any help is appriciated (Win 7/64, 1 server+ 1 client, FSX, throttles via vjoy)

Thanks JL for the work on this software and for the now RW overhead procedure, which I both appriciate.

Merry christmas to all of you
Kind regards
Michael

jeehell

12-20-2014, 10:16 AM

Hi Michael,

I do not know how VAS throttle works, but it is not normal that the FMGS Config file does not keep the settings. Are you sure you use the same FMGS Config file every time? You don't use FMGS config along the other FMGS apps? Make sure the config files are not read only files.
Using F1-F4 keys is not a good solutions at all, the ATHR and other systems won't work correctly.

- Sometimes, E/WD duplicates the screen of SD. Usually, after a restart of both programs, E/WD will be correct
- On the SD page "Engine", the start valve position shows open and close (as a cross) when the valve supposed to be closed. The open position is correct.
- I have to run the WideFMGSServer with the Windows priority set to "Above Normal". If I don't change the priority, then the two clients may loose input connection to the server (if this happens, the output communication (from server point of view) still works).
- On the Skalarki ECAM, the light of the selected page doesn't show up. Only CLR and STS works.

Thanks, JL, for the B36.7 update. All reported issues of B36.5 are fixed with this version. Everything works very well on my installation now :grin:

I wish you all Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

Thank you JL for your software (have you considered adding a donate option?), which without none of us would be here on this community forum.

Merry Christmas all, and have a happy new year!

Here is interesting video about the initial overhead korry states during power up from real cold and dark.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mo7A3CuVb8g

I dont understand why the second BAT does not show "OFF" for a short time after he pushed the first BAT, though.
However, I found it interesting and worth sharing.

Cheers,

Today I reinstalled windows 7 on my Main PC. Copy and paste of Acontrols.cfg doesnt work, cause all joystick axes are not connected according to FMGS Config. So I deleted these axes and tryed to reassign them.
I started with selecting CS Ailerons. Joystick axe is recognized but after opening settings window all connections to the joystiocks were lost...
In windows game controller settings all is working and all joysticks are still available and working.

So its impossible to assing any axes.... all Skalarki hardware axes are working fine....

Does anybody has an idea what is going wrong?

Hi to all.

Can someone help me with the Bat 1 offset ?
It writes only 0 when i read it, Bat 2 offset tells me the correct value.
And when the Bats are off, the Bat 1 value is also 0 and not -1.

Someone has the same problem ?

Thx for the help and a Happy New Year.

After the issues with the last Version, today i take a new try with a completed new installation.
But the problem is still be there. :( PFD/ND/EWD/SD disconnects sometimes from the server (startet as admin) the funny thing is... sometimes it works continues, even though it is not connected to the server, sometimes not.
But he bigger problem is now the connection from the MCDU Navdata. After the start it needs more than 5 Minutes until the Navdata are loaded and i can logged in the departure and arrival airport. From where takes the MCDU the NAVDATA? Server? The client, where are the MCDU is installed?

I know that is just holiday season and that is perfectly legitimate. Offcourse for you Jeehell and Guys. But perhaps there is something wrong here look up a possibility. It makes me very sad that is just my holiday not being able to fly a few laps Online. :,(

King regards and wish a happy new year Guys!

Hi,

Do you have the OVHD on a remote computer?
If that is your case:
I think most issues come from that for those who have issues. I'm trying to find a solution, but it will take some time...
Try a flight with the OVHD on the server computer.

As for the navdata, there is no way to make the time shorter, the soft has to translate approximately 300 MB of raw data into a suitable format, this is not done in 1sec...

Regards,
JL

Hi JL,

big big thanks for your reply!!!

No, since i got the Hardware OVHD (made self with OC Cards) i put the Software-Overhead tho the server Computer. The Overhead works well without any problems. Only the Displays...

As for the MCDU: Ok i understand and it is actually understandable, off course . The strange thing is, that it was not so extreme (only 5-10 sec) before the new installation.

King regards
Florian

5 minutes seems a bot long, but 2-3 minutes is rather normal. Check the computers CPU usage on all your PCs, it may a good indications of issues.
Also, did you put the navdata on all computers? (on the clients it is used for little thiongs such as getting the VOR/NDB/etc on the ND)

For declaration:
FMGS Server, OVHD and FCU Software are on the Main Computer.
Booth ND/PFD are on the first client.
EWD/SD and MCDU are on the second Client.

The CPU Usage of the first client are very high, but didn´t know why. I have the feeling this is only since the last major update. NAVDATA are installed on this Computer.

On the second client are the CPU usage normally. No Navdata installed there, because there is no folder for the NAVDATA like on the PFD and ND Client.

jeehell

12-30-2014, 08:23 AM

The navdata takes some time loading on the clients as well. Check again about 5 minutes after running the software how the CPU usage is distgributed (which applications use the CPU the most).
Also, do you have both CPT and FO PFD/ND on one computer? this may be too much, these are the worst ones in terms of CPU...

JL

12-30-2014, 09:31 AM

Hi,

will check this next time!

Should I install the Navdata also on the MCDU client? If yes, in which folder?

Yes, got both ND and PFD (for CPT. and F/O) on one Intel Core 2 Duo (http://www.amazon.de/Intel-K%C3%BChler-Core-Sockel-E2140-E8600/dp/B000I223LE/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1353669405&sr=8-4) E4600 with 2,4 GHZ and 2 GB RAM (http://www.amazon.de/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?__mk_de_DE=%C5M%C5Z%D5%D1&url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=2%20gb%20ram) on a 32 Bit Win7 System. Graphics card (http://www.amazon.de/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?__mk_de_DE=%C5M%C5Z%D5%D1&url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=graphics%20card) are a Nvidia Geforce 6800. Split it with a Matrox Triple Head to go. I had the hope it would be enough. Did you have a recommendation for the system where i can use booth Displays on one Client? I would´t buy a third client only for the FO Displays. :(

Happy new year all...its been a miserable 2014 for aviation...just flew back from Malaysia with AirAsia :-\

I am testing the new stall sounds with the latest beta -- turning off ADR1+2+3 also loses navigation data, alignment?

Thank you. Regards.

jeehell

12-30-2014, 10:49 AM

@Florian : yes put the navdata on all computers, even on the MCDU or ECAM ones.
Try running without the FO side to see if ti makes any difference.
Do you use EGPWS? If so, turn it off (on both sides) to see if it has any effect.
I do not know your complete setup, but it could worth testing to have the CPT and FO side on separate systems, even it it means a slower system for the F/O.

@Ben : The ADIRS logic is from a very long time ago, I plan to rework that soon, but no, the ADR should not work as currently modeled.

Init page 2 is accessible after engine start?
Mine it is accessible too, but I think it shouldn't...

filippoporcari

01-04-2015, 01:32 PM

u can make it NOT accessible (like in the real aircraft) modifing the aircraft.ini file u can find in FMGS SERVER/PA320 folder if i remember correctly the path: into that file there's a line INITBACCESSIBLE set it to FALSE and the page won't be accessible.
having it accessible is very useful in training scenarios: u do many repositioning and many takeoff and landing....if the page is not accessible u have to shut engines every time and u consume time :)

Hi,

Filippo isright about the INITBaccessible entry in the aircraft.ini file (except it is either yes or no).
In the real aicraft, after engine start, the MCDU should switch to FUEL PRED page instead of INITB, I have to add that some day..

Hyi Jeehell, hyi all!

Short info on B36.7, maybe it helps someone:

I do run a server (FSX, AP/FBW, Sound, server) and ALL the rest on one client (i5, 3,8Ghz). Everything works fine, also
EGPWS, CPU usage is always below 55%. But still I do get disconnects. With priority higher than normal or high (Thanks to buentahead!) it works without disconnects for around 30 minutes or until I change something in FSX (weather, time, airport, ...). When disconnects happen, the complete client is disconnected, not just a part. I did follow any hints (Open as admin., Navdata, ...)
Further bugs noticed:
- Eng page is selected on lower ECAM (ECAM switching p/b is lighted green, which means pressed) after power on
- Eng 1 and Eng 2 Bleed is off (with p/b in on). After off/on switching operation normal (edited)

Thanks for your work, Jeehell, this is a beautiful piece on our sims.

Kind regards
Michael

Hi all

started today twice a leg from lsgs to licr and the fmgs_server.exe crashes 4 minutes after t/o. When checking my sim this afternoon from lszh to lsgg all went fine. Could it be the difference starting from a airport up in the mountains?

Does someone have the same crashes?

Best
Stefan

stubenflieger

01-07-2015, 05:24 PM

I dont think there is a correlation between the airport's alt and the crasches. I flew from LSZS (Samedan - 5.700 ft MSL) to Vienna yesterday without any crash.

But I had some other strange experience:
I had to use TOGA for the take off because of the short runway and the cold temperatures (Eng & Wing Anti Ice was on). Unfortunately nav mode was not available after the departure (also no SRS TO). The green line was not solid but dashed and did not change wehn I pushed the heading knob. The PROG page was not available after departure (during Preflight it was).

Then I used the same flight plan with Flex Temp (no Anti Ice) and took off with FLEX-Thrust. Now everything worked fine.

Maybe JL could check that behaviour - or did I do something wrong?

Samedan is definetely a special case because of it's high altitude and short rundway but the strange behaviour could also happen in innsbruck under special circumstances.

Thank You!

Hi all
installed again the b36.7, but still have the fmgs_server.exe when starting from SION (LSGS) when reaching 8500 ft. Is there a log somewhere which can be activated to see what is the problem?

Best regards
Stefan

jeehell

01-08-2015, 10:09 AM

Hi,

@Stephan : Do you use the same departure out of Sion? Maybe a bug in the SID leading to a crash.

@Markus : if you get only dashed FPLN on the ND, usually it means the ACFT did not transition to take off phase. This usually happens when the THR LVR are not really in TOGA or FLX detent. Make sure you do get MAN TOGA or MAN FLX on the FMA.

Hi JL

thank you for the reply, will check it tonight. It is quite strange because most of the SID's at LSGS are not supported by the fmgs, it shows disconnect between lgsg and the next waypoint on the flightplan page when choosing a SID from rwy07 and you can't delete that entry... Did a flight from LSGG to LSZH and all was fine.

I will report when tested.

Another issue I can't understand is the function of the priotity stick korry. When pressing to FO side it always play dual input when fo side stick is used, even when set priority to fo, it shows the green arrow to the fo side, but stilkl have this "dual input" aural. Is it like that in the real acft?
And last but not least, the warning korry needs to be pressed twice before the sound stops, is that also as in the real acft?
Best regards
Stefan
