Hi JL -- I can report simpatcher is now working with P3D v4 in the latest install version.

Thank you.
--

Some sluggishness in the ND and PFD or perhaps too much demand on the Server computer as others have reported, or this may have something to do with network congestion. Some more testing to do...

Hi!

I can confirm, that the new beta version works without any simpatcher error messages. Did a two hours flight this evening without problems.

PFD and ND are working stable for me, just the loading times of these moduls are very long (much longer than the EWD and SD), but I think it is normal and also not new.

By the way, I've heard the MCDU has also a startup/selftest message in its display like the other screens in EIS2 mode (similar but not identical). Can anyone confirm that? It shall be yellow/orange, but I don't know if it is the same text.

Hi All,

"UPDNAV" is tested and ready. I publish the tool on my Website: http://www.ai-traffic-editor-x.de/index.php/updnav-fuer-jeehell-fmgs.html

The tool is free for everyone.

I do some changes. It can now be used with and without a dedicated Server and save time to create and distribute the Navigation data.

In the zip file is an english manual included.

Thanks to John for the test an helping to made a correct english manual.

Hi JL,

I found a small glitch regarding the auto pilot. When you reposition the aircraft form the ground to air and then select AP (1 or 2) it does not follow the Lateral Nav, it stays at the present roll. It does follow the Vertical Flight Director but it doesn't for the lateral.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
JP

I found exactly the same problem when repositioning the aircraft with the Instructor Station by Luis Gordo. This was not an issue when using the Instructor Station in combination with the FMGS version B45.4.

Isak

is the new simpatcher fix also recommended for FSX?

I still have no WXR since updating to B47.4 (it worked before). Simpatcher is included in dll.xls

Do I have to adjust the export path in AS2016 to write to the FMGS/wxr folder??

Hi Dieter,
THX, youre right, absolutely no compatibilty issue. Only a real silly mistake: By unknown reasons I got the navdata1 and 2 folders placed into the navdata1 folder. Now all works fine.
@ Michael: I now use B47.4.1 with P3Dv3.4 and the wxr files go to the wxr folder without any further adjustment in AS16. I don't believe that should be different with FSX.

Hyi all!

Unfortunately it seems that I am too silly to get the green track line on my client NDs.
Everything worked fine in B45, also now with B47.4 I see the line on the server ND, but not on the client NDs.
On the client I did a Win7 update, graphics card driver update, correct JL installation of course (copy navrecord.dat and .bin files to the client), correct server IP address....
All other things working perfect (connections server-client as well). Back to B45: Track line is here again.
Maybe anyone got the same problem and a solution. Searching the forum since weeks, good ideas, but no solution in my case. Any idea of DHCP (auto?).

Thanks for any help or thoughts.
Kind regards
Michael

The issue with ND line has been eluding me for some time. I never experienced it.
It seems to be related to networking on some systems only.
Usually, after running all applications, a restart on the FMGS server computer tends to solve the issue... but I do not know why this might be the case.

I have P3Dv3.4 and v4.0 installed side by side, also AS16 for P3D (v3) and the new version AS for P3Dv4.
P3Dv3 / AS16 old version injects the WXR##.dat files in WXR folder for JeeHell B47.3 as well as for B47.4.1 (I will tell later to my other problem, why I have both installed for v3). But P3Dv4 / AS16 new version does not inject any file to my JeeHell B47.4.1 installation for v4 (neither to my JeeHell installations for v3). I tried the simpatcher.dll linked above by Beret, no effect. And there are "ignorefreelibrary" flags set in my registry only for FSC (Flightsim Commander), but not for simpatcher.dll .
Another problem: When I use B47.4.1 with P3Dv3, the MCDUs do not load the Navdatabase (bins are made from P3Dv3):
http://www.mycockpit.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=12378&stc=1
I do not have the problem when I use my other installation of B47.4.1 with P3Dv4. Is B47.4 not compatible to P3Dv3 any more?
When I use B47.3 (and this is why I still keep my old installation of that version), the navdatabase is correctly loaded.
Last question: Starting B47.3 the green "Self Test" appears on the screen. This is gone with B47.4. Intentional or only in my system?
THX for help!
EDIT: Resolved, Post 492 + 511

I have the same issue and don't know why. Everything was working before the update to 47.4.1 and I have not changed any data in the Navdata folder.
Any idea why this is happening?

Hi

I had to change my server to a new one, so I had to reconfigure the new server. This is now online, hopefully all DNSs etc will point to the new server soon. There is an update which will make the updater work with the new server IP as well, the new version itself does not bring any enhancements, only minor internal changes.

If you're having troubles with the new server, you can try to download the update here:

Because I can't align A/C on runway well. During takeoff and landing A/C goes left and right all the way down. If the rudder was less sensitive I think I could run more stabilised.

Hi All,

I have a problem with the weather radar, since after installing P3d V4 and AS16 P3D V4, and reinstalling jeehell FMGS (last release) in the WXR folder I have no data (I just have a txt file called screenshots). Where is the mistake? Thanks for the help.

Next new release will be released for new sounds with important novelties.

Best

Daniele

Running AS16 2016 over a network Daniele? I found wxr data is written even when AS16 is running on a remote computer. You just have to make sure simconnect is functioning, and the Prepar3D folder is shared across the network.

What new sounds do you have in mind for us Daniele? I am using your version 3 sound pack with a buttkicker and the low bass frequencies are excellent.

-- Startup sounds perhaps? :) http://www.christophpaulus.com/bugreport_jeehell/view.php?id=1189

Are you using FSUIPC? I had to disable FSUIPC weather output in the settings file before it would work.

Beaufort

07-11-2017, 07:52 AM

THX Ben, I found it, but it was another reason:
I run A320 FMGS in a networked configuration and I had defined the folder where A320 FMGS server is installed as a connected network drive and put this path as the path to the WXR folder in the config of A320 FMGS on the networked PC, where the ND runs. BUT, stupid Windows offer no access to the connected network drive (red cross in explorer) until one has once opended it by a double click (red cross disappears). Windows can drive me crazy!
I now changed the path to a network path (\\[Main PC name]\...) and its working fine.

Hyi JL!

I have B47.6 running perfectly nice. Still TLA indications (around N1 indication) still missing.

Small issue I noticed: When starting APU with APU bleed switched on, the APU bleed valve stays closed during start up, the APU bleed valve symbol is closed and amber. Reaching 95% N1 + 2sec or latest at 99,5% N1, bleed valve opens (symbol turns inline and green) and APU generator is available. I attached photos for symbolics.

Kind regards and always thanks for your incredible work

Reverse thrust does not always work.

Sometimes I have the following problem: Shortly after touch the ground I set the Thrust Lever to reverse thrust. However, there is no reversing thrust.
The thrust remains constant about 50% and can not be reduced or is not returned to idle.
Engine Anti Ice was on during the approach.

I have installed the latest version of Skalarki Profiler. Use JeeHell FMGS Version B47.6.
'Ve assign the lever already two times in the fmgs config. The problem sometimes occurs and sometimes it work perfect.
Hadware: Skalarki Thrust Lever. Maybee a simconnect Problem? Does anyone have this problem sometimes?

OmniAtlas

07-16-2017, 10:55 PM

Hi Fritz, I do not have this problem -- it may be isolated to your setup or a skalarki driver issue. Is your joystick configured on a remote computer, or is it connected to the same computer which runs FMGS Server?

I have had no issues with either a remote usb setup, or everything running on one computer.

Fritz

07-17-2017, 07:47 AM

Hi Ben,
yes all controls are connected to a remote computer.
Yesterday I was surprised since I had forgotten to start FMGS on the visual PC.
The reverse thrust has worked correct and no other errors occours.
I did not expect this. :shock:

I have to check on the next weekend whether there is a connection. First of all it seems that hardwareconnect is not necessary to run on the visual PC. As I said, I will check on the next weekend.

07-18-2017, 02:36 AM

Hi Fritz

As a test only (by copying files from an other system with a full Installation)! I have tried to install FMGS on the visual system without using JLs installer. Basically you only need simpatcher.dll, the aircraft folder and the WXR folder and some adaptions in config files on the visual system.

Cheers

I'm with you. It seems that only your mentioned files should be installed on a visual pc. No need to run hardwareconnect on the visual pc.
FSUIPC and Simconnect is sufficient for comunication. JeeHell correct me when I'm wrong.

Using the installer is still the best ways to make sure you installed everything where needed.
But of course, you still must take care to install only the required files where needed (like FMGS Serve...).
My software does NOT use FSUIPC. The addon module is only for hardware integration, and only because people ask for it. I don't even have it installed on my own computer anymore.

Hello Leonidas,

not in the moment, i will to it later this day !

In the moment i make a test: i start all computers from cold an dark, start P3DV4 than FMGS server and all the clients!
Then i has wait the ADIRS align time (9 Minutes)! In the last 4 hours i was flown 5 Legs with new flightplans and in the moment the flightplan is always right in the ND!
Sometimes i take a shortcut to the align time from the ADIRS, maybe that makes the mistake!?

I test more this evening and report !

Hi!

I also have a problem, that the ND doesn't update route data. I often fly a selected descend but when I change the altitude (given from the ATC) or the VS at the FCU the "end of descend" arrow at the ND does not change its position anytime.

The second thing, when I enter a STAR/Approach in the MCDU sometimes the changes still stay yellow dashed when I confirm the entries.

For both issues, when I switch to managed descend (and then back to selected) the problem is solved for this moment.

Please make some tests. It has to be 100% reproducible. For one, I most of the time use the fast align and never had any issue.
Then please compile some results and post that in the new B48.0 thread.
