A320 FMGS beta 30

[tom19]

Hi JL,
thanks for the update for TCAS (mode Charlie). Now it works fine when using MCDU. But when I try set to mode CHARLIE via my panel (SIOC) that dont't work. Your software is blocking fsuipc commands. So, now I cant't use my TCAS "hardware" for setting CHARLIE....

Hello JL,

I have made ​​some tests. If I install the version B27 without updates, no error messages occur. After about 20 minutes or more my switches work correctly without delay. In the task manager I can not see which process is responsible.
If I install the updates I immediately following error messages:
On the Server PC:
A320 SERVER / Access violation at address 0045611F in modules Fmgs_Server.exe Read of address 07CAF640

On the Client PC with OVHD:
Widefmgs / MSG is not a valid integer value
The same error messages comes on the Client PC with MCDU.

On the Client PC with PFD and ND:
CPT ND / Access violation at address 75A89B60 in modules msvcpt.dll Read of address 082C8000.
CPT ND / External exception 80000001.

I hope these messages help you to find the problem.

regards Micha

Hi Micha,

There is an update available, again trying to fix wideFMGS issues.
Here is a link to the full installation package as well:
http://www.jeehell.org/A320FMGS_B27.1.exe

There is a fourth port to declare in wideFMGS.ini files.
However, only 3 of them will show up as 'connected' in the wideFMGS windows, the fourth being UDP it is "connection less".

Waiting for your feedbacks,
JL

If you encounter any troubles with wideFMGS not connecting, please download this version:

If you downloaded the update after this post, it is not necessary to download that patch.

Hi JL,

thanks for the updates, I downloaded the latest version this morning through the automatic updater.

Unfortunately this has not solved my problems. I tried to make a test flight LSZH/LFMN, but before reaching T/C the aircraft became unflyable because of the big response times. I noticed this already when entering the route in MCDU that in some cases it took again some seconds until the next page displayed. Obviously it was getting worse during the flight. After my "touchdown" in the Swiss mountains I switched off the engines and I needed to wait approx 30 seconds until they actually were going down.

I have changed the widefmgs.ini before and expanded it to 4 ports. It is looking like this on both PCs now:
[widefmgs]
ip=192.168.2.251 (this line exists only on client PC of course)
port=8003
port2=8004
port3=8005
port4=8006

WideFMGS window says:
Port 8004: connected
Port 8003: connected
Port 8005: connected
Port 8006: connected

This is all looking fine, is it? Is there anything I can do to make more debugging or checking any logs to find out where the problem is coming from?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi Stefan,

Go to the task manager, then networking tab. What is the total network usage when everything is Ok and when the lag is at maximum?

Hi JL,

just checked this during another flight: There is no change between "OK" and "lag" - it is always between 8.7 and 9.2% network usage. I had some legs during the flight, but they were not as significant as in the flight before (maximum was around 3 secs I guess).

Thanks
Stefan

Hi Stefan

I don't remember your exact configuration. Can you post it again? I need to know how many computers, with CPU specs, and software distribution.
It is working on other people setups apparently, so maybe there are issues with your particular setup.
