New test versions of FSUIPC and WideClient

[Peter Dowson]

Hi folks,

Here are my latest interim test versions of FSUIPC (3.422) and WideClient
(6.412).

The main work in FSUIPC has been in areas concerned with timestamps and
corrections to a number of odd little things which have affected internal DLLs
and GAUges.

In the more recent releases of WideFS, most of my attention has been on
improving the efficiency of WideServer, as well as making to operate with both
TCP/IP and IPX/SPX at the same time. In the last couple of weeks I have
concentrated instead on making WideClient run more smoothly. I think I've
achieved this, now, by dividing up the tasks it does between different threads
in a different way, and re-ordering its priorities. Certainly it seems a lot
smoother here on all four of my Client PCs, and even works well on the PC
which is running 3 copies of the Project Magenta PFD/ND/EICAS program.

Please use them when you can, but don't delete your existing versions just
yet. I'd like to hear of any problems.

Regards,

Pete Dowson

Hi Pete,

don't know what you did, but the outcome of the new wideclient.exe seems
(did only a quick 30 mins test with 5 clients) indeed noticeably smoother.

Thanks +

Hi

i tried them with FSBUS and i get strange things

at the start all is going well and smooth but if you do no updates on the
cockpit ( nav / heading /crs )
when you hit a keystroke ( ex: 6 or 7 to change range ) it takes a long
time
before the command is
commited

best regards

Keyboards? Folks are still using Keyboards?

Sorry, I need more information please!

*What sort of keyboard are you hitting?
*Where is it in relation to everything else?
*How is it programmed?
*Is it using WideFS? If so how?
*Is is programmed in FSUIPC's Keys page?
*Are you using WideServer 6.41 too?

That's a start. After I can understand even a little of what you are doing
there will be other questions and log files need too, no doubt.

If it is a keyboard on the same PC as the PM component which is supposed to
be processing the keys, then I asume you have checked keyboard focus and so
on?

How does FSBus come into this at all?

Regards,

Pete

Hi Pete,
please can send the WideClient 6412 again.
If I open the Zip-File to copy the WideClient to Explorer I get a ERROR.
I downloaded it more times but it`s every time the same.

Are you using FS9 or 9.1? No issues with the new version here.

Ciao

"Yes Pete"? Is this a reference to something else? Sorry, I'm confused.

What does "i placed it in and FS9 rejected the Mod dll" mean, please? Placed
what in where and what is a "mod dll", and what is the error you get?

Sorry, I really don't understand such over-abbreviated reports. Are you sure
you linked this to the correct thread? I deal with FS modules like FSUIPC,
WideFS, and so on. Are you talking about one of those?

Regards,

Pete

[Patrick Smith]

No using old FS9 without the patch,have wideviewW and the new patch does not
seem to work with it all,so dont use it,it causes "frozen moments" for me
may be doing something wrong but dont have the time to fool around with
it,you know,as what works ,works!

[Patrick Smith]

Well i dont know i thought i was replying to the New test versions FSUIPC and
WideClient,i placed the FSUIPC.dll on the Modules section,and when
starting FS9 it would not start,error report pointed to the FSUIPC Mod.dll

Well, that is this thread. It was just your "Yes Pete" as if you'd said
something specific before to which I'd answered with a question. Is this not
so?

>i placed the FSUIPC.dll on the Modules
>section,and when starting FS9 it would not start,error

What sort of error report, please? How "not start"? There really isn't
anything that drastic changed in FSUIPC, just little additions and
improvements.

I can't really answer general reports, I do need specifics!

1. What EXACTLY is this message and when, exactly, does it occur?
2. What version of FSUIPC were you using before?
3. What version of FS? FS2002, FS2004, with/without update?

Regards,

Pete

[null null]

Just downloaded this version FSUIPC and WideClient, installed, and got the
following:
--------------
ERROR SIGNATURE:
AppName: fs9.exe AppVer: 9.0.0.30612 ModName: fsuipc.dll
ModVer: 3.4.2.2 Offset: 00020202
---------------
My OS is WIN XP PRO, Patch 1

Hope this helps.....

Got this from where, doing what? There's no "signatures" in FSUIPC, so I have
no idea what this is about. What did you do and what reported that
message?

That offset "00020202" sounds very suspicious! Sounds like a bad download to
me. Try again. Version 3.422 is now in good use in several hundred Beta
tester's systems with no problems so far, and it will form the basis of the
next release within two weeks.

Pete

[null null]

I should of mentioned, I do have the latest WideFS...

3.422 I installed is a second download and install, with the same anomaly
occurs, both times.

The "Microsoft Flight Simulator has encountered a problem and needs to
close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." message come up after starting
FS9.

Going to "See what data this error report contains" is where I found the
ERROR SIGNATURE information.

Only the FS9 system was running at the time of FS9 startup without any
other
programs running.

I reverted to the previous version, it's working fine. Any thing I can do
to
help resolve this, please let me know. BTW, I've never had any problems
with previous versions of FSUIPC.

I've decided to test FS9 with the 3.422 version on a separate system,
unfortunately I have the same anomaly occurring on that system. Peter, if
you don't mind, would you please send me ver 3.422 direct to my email....

And you aren't going to show me the FSUIPC LOOG file either? I cannot work in
a vacuum, sorry.

Luckily Matt has just emailed me his Log. It looks like he is still using
FS9.0. I am wondering if you are too? I will have to uninstall FS9.1 to try
and test this ... currently all my systems are on 9.1. I was really on the
verge of withdrawing support for 9.0, there's so many problems in it solved
by 9.1. If you are still on 9.0, can you tell me why, please?

It's now 01:45 am here. I'll start on this tomorrow. If I cannot reproduce
it, or you are on 9.1 after all, then I'll probably need to start adding more
diagnostics.

Regards,

Pete

Okay, I have assumed you are on 9.0. In this case please discard the interim
version you have and use 3.424 just supplied in a separate thread.

Yes Peter I am still using FS 9.0. If you would like my log file I can send

it. I was in a hurry when I posted this there was someplace I had to be.

No need. Now you've confirmed 9.0 you should use 3.424 already posted.
