A320 FMGS beta 30

[jeehell]

Hi all,

so after intensive testing, here my findings:
- there may still be issues with WideFMGS if you have more than one client PC (only one client gets really connected)
- I have solved the main CPFlight bug which prevented all actions on the FCU : http://www.jeehell.org/CPFlightmodule.dll
- the updater needs some more fine tuning, so even if you skip one update it does not download the complete package again.

I'll keep you all posted,

JL

Ah, thanks for the info. This explains why I got several errors again this morning after upgrading my 27 to 28. Just let me know once the updater is fine again, I will then try the upgrade once more. It's not so urgent for me since 27 is working fine + stable right now

Thanks
Stefan

Hi all,

Here another try for WideFMGS protocol:
http://www.jeehell.org/WideFMGSserver.exe
http://www.jeehell.org/WideFMGS.exe

I have tested it with 2 clients and it worked correctly. Also, I did not see any difficulties if I ran server or clients first.
If you have any issues with them pelase advise me!

Regards,
JL

Hi again...

This time an update for the updater:
http://www.jeehell.org/Updater.exe

It should now only download the latest files, even if you skipped a couple of updates.

You can also find the latest complete installer here(might be still uploading when I post this message):
http://www.jeehell.org/A320FMGS_B28.3.exe



Cheers,

Hi JeeHell and Rob,

thanks a lot for your fast response and your testing!

Unfortunately I still cannot download from your server.

It takes long time, then the message "Network-Timeout. The Server hosting.tcs-hebergement.net needs too much time to send an answer!" I X-checked that from two PCs with IE und FF.

Strange thing is: when downloading with my SmartPhone, it works, but only with Opera!

So I have the file right now, but wonder why a normal download is not possible.

Best regards from Vienna
Hans

Hi to all and a happy new year.
So, for B28.3 after a couple of tests:
The most important for me, lag issues for MCDU-FCU-THR/LVR: ALL SOLVED!
Communication between server-clients without any serious problems. No matter which of them starts first, except FO who insists to start before server.
BUT: CPFlight FCU does not work properly. You turn speed for example and turns also heading. You want to increase a value, but it decreases. It jumps numbers, every 2 or even 10 units and much more. It's unflyable, but I'm sure that JL's going to find it.

Hi JL!

With the newest version I have problems with HardwareConnect / SIOCModule.
But it seems it only applies for non-latching switches which I use for OVHD Korrys.
e.g.
I turned on logging on HardwareConnect and when I press e.g. the BAT1 switch on my OVHD Panel I can see the follwing log entry

SIOCmodule:SW=2 DIR=3

but nothing is happening (no corresponding action on the OVHD software).
Latching switches like LIGHT switches (e.g. Strobe Light, ....) are working.

thx
Christian

Hi JL,
I just started to build an A320 cockpit and I just installed the latest FMGS software on my system (w7 64bit) to check the screens with my Wilco Airbus. I just used for testing a single system. The installation was fine witout errors. When I start FSX the ND and FO_ND.exe stop working (windows error message). Do I have to additional set up something for the Wilco airbus, or is it maybe the latest FSUIPC software which I am running (4.8 licenced). I read that you should use older then 4.7. Is that the problem, and where do I get the version 4.6 which is runing fine with FSMG, just the latest versions are on Peter's webpage? I did not configure a joystick, maybe this is also needed...
Thank you for short feedback.
Cheers
Stefan

Hi

@Christian: I think I found the bug for toggle switches, I guess the OVHD is on a remote PC? I'll try to put an update tomorrow.

@Stefan: this software is not meant to run with Wilco aircraft (nor any acft with built in systems) but only with the provided one. Also, if you use FSX, you don't need FSUIPC now it can use simconnect directly, just make sure you checked FSX supporg during installation,and that you run FSXstarter.


@Leo:I'm working on CPflightmodule again...

Cheers,
JL

Hi JL,
Thank you for your quick response. I have selected your Airbus in FSX and still have the same error messages with nd and fo_nd.exe.
Even when I reinstall fmgs...
thx
