pero | JeeHell EXT PWR by GSX

[flykarli]

Hi,
Problem solved . As so often, the problem sits in front of the monitor. The syntax of the file path is important. I missed a few slashes. Now the announcements work. Thanks Capt.PERO for your help. I have a little problem with the external power. It is not possible when boarding. Maybe because I have defined the switch on a button in Jeehell FMGS_Config?
regards
Karl

Please could you copy that line of text in Lua e.g. from your sound location
To see where I'm going wrong
This is mine
"C:\\Program Files\\Lockheed Martin\\Prepar3D v4\\Modules\\SH_ICAsound\\"

Does this look right?
Thanks for help

Hi Mike !

Yes, the line looks right. I do not know where in your script is the error. I can only report on my mistake and that it works for me now. Also, the error in the External Power has been done.
Maybe try ipcready.lua with this text: ipc.macro ("Lua JeeHellExtPWRbyGSX") Spacebar between Lua and Jeehell .....) Maybe this will help? I dont now sorry!

Thanks Karl.

I have just send over v7 to @pete_fuss, if you guys would like to test v7 - happy welcome. Please find the BETA v7 here:
https://aviation.pero-online.de/wordpress/?page_id=1937

v7 22.11.2018

• [FEATURE] Added chapter „Troubleshooting“ to the manual
• [CHANGED] Climb Announcment will be played based on altitude difference to the departing airport (avoid playing the sound when starting at high altitude locations)
• [CHANGED] Main Exit is opening when Jetway has been connected
• [CHANGED] Deboarding Sound will be played when Jetway has been connected
• [CHANGED] Safety Sound will be skipped if GS is higher then 30 kts within 8 seconds (to avoid sound when starting directly from runway)

The manual (included in the BETA ZIP-file) has a troubleshooting chapter 5 included, this might help and I added some screenshots in the installation chapter.

I really can say that it is working on different JeeHell Installations.

Guys, Peter and me are working on v7 - I would suggest you leave the BETA out. We made some changes and I will deploy v7 when it's ready. If v6 is not running at all, please use the troubleshooting chapter to fix it.

Hi
I have gone throu the trouble shooting guide and everything is correct according to guide yet it has still no sound to announcements
I no its working because (for e.g. the external power comes on when gate is connected
And also the announcements trigger in the text bar
I have 4 choices in fsuipc in lua
for sound cards I have tried them all
I use no 1 of the choices for my normal gsx sounds and works fine
If you try the wave files directly they all work fine?
but I'm not giving up yet
Thanks for all your help and free software

Hi Michael,

I am really wondering why it does not work. I saw you are running P3D in "C:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\" maybe there is a rights problem?! are you running PREPAR3D as Adminstrator?

Can you try putting the SH_ICAsound folder to "C:\SH_ICAsound" just for a try (and don't miss adjusting the LUA script path).

In addition you could try updating FSUIPC (http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html) but I have no glue if that solves the issue. If that does not solve the issue, try rename your FSUIPC5.ini and restart the sim (should be recreated) just for a test (if you've done settings in the .ini you would need to transfer them.

As you are saying that the script is running in general it looks like an issue with the sound only... Strange...

[mike24]

You will be glad to here that now I can here sounds and it works great
I did both of the things you said and now it's working
Thanks for your patience and thanks for the software
Regards
Mike

Hi Mike,

great to hear. V7 will be ready soon and improve the v7 BETA very much. So don't waste time with the BETA, try out v6 and wait for v7.

Regards,
Peter

v7 of my LUA script is out now. Thanks to Peter Fuss who did a lot of testing and found some major bugs.
Now we are really stable, each announcement comes correct, boarding the correct amount of pax work e.g.

Make fun flying with it!
