  1. Strange... I installed vasFMC again a week ago because I had to write an article for a German flightsim magazine in which I test JeeHell's FMGS and vasFMC. After setup I had just to make some changes in MCDU MENU - SETTINGS to fit to Airbus behaviour. That were the only things. But somewhere in the settings you can display the framerate of vasFMC. From my homecockpit I know that vasFMC has some problems with its FSUIPC offsets. Sometimes it ignores changes of switches. You can see how the FSUIPC offset changes but vasFMC ignores it. Also a reason why I will change to JeeHell's FMGS in the next months. Yes, vasFMC is an alpha version. But the development on it stopped already in 2008. If you ask in their forum when the next version will be released they say "It's done when it's done". I think there will be no more version in the future. Something is going on there but I don't know what...
  2. Ah, you are right, they changed the download location "due to high traffic" (who knows...). I can send it to you via mail. What is your mail adsress?
  3. You can download it on http://www.vas-project.org. The current version is 2.0a9. Unfortunately there is no new version for 1,5 years and it seems that the developers are not interested in continuing their work. So I want to use Jeehell's FMGS (from MyCockpit Forum) in the future. The setup is quite easy: Install vasFMC (installer), maybe AIRAC from Navigraph (also installer) and start vasFMC. I use Airbus style and have made some changes in the settings (MCDU MENU -> SETTINGS) to fit to Airbus behaviour but nothing special. This problem also appeared on the computer of my friend who send me his ini file. So it should also appear on your computer (hopefully). As far as I know the project is open source and you can download the code. Chris

  5. Unfortunately not because I got the ini file just 10 minutes after my post here. I have to perform some cockpit software tests today and will record the logs.
  6. Sorry for the very late reply. We had an homecockpit event (130 hours online on VATSIM) and because we were able to solve the problem by ourselves we forgot this topic here. A friend of mine gave his WideClient.ini to me and from that point everything was fine. Now I took a look what the differences between the native ini file and his one are: WaitForNewData=500 --> WaitForNewData=50 PollInterval=2000 --> PollInterval=200 That are the only differences and now especially vasFMC runs without jerking and full 30 fps :)
  7. Hi there, I have a big problem, with WideFs (Client/Server) I' m building a home cockpit and have several instrumehts running on different PC'S than FS9. Now with WideClient connected to the FS9 (which works) the update Rate of the read data is about 5-10 FPS and therefore too low! The software (JeeHell A320 FMGS) uses about 6% CPU which is very low and the Flghtdirectors coming from the Softwareserver are running at about 30-50 FPS. The data read from FS as mentioned is about 5. Any Idea why? Kind Regards, Chris
  8. Thanks Pete! I thought, that 3380 ist just for a single line text. Is there any possibility to change text attributes (color, etc.) and window attributes (position, size, etc.)?
  9. Hi Pete, how can I write messages in the FSUIPC multiline window? I already can write messages to the single line at the top of the FS9 windows, but I think, a multiline display looks better :D Greatings from Germany, Christoph
  10. Now it's finished: Declaration: Private AsciiZ() As Byte Function: Public Sub writeMsg(msgString As String, msgControl As Integer) msgString = msgString & Chr(0) AsciiZ = StrConv(msgString, vbFromUnicode) FSUIPC_Initialization If FSUIPC_Open(SIM_ANY, dwResult) = True Then If FSUIPC_Write(&H3380&, Len(msgString), VarPtr(AsciiZ(0)), dwResult) Then If FSUIPC_Process(dwResult) Then End If End If If FSUIPC_Write(&H32FA&, 2, VarPtr(msgControl), dwResult) Then If FSUIPC_Process(dwResult) Then End If End If End If End Sub
  11. Yes, I know that this is not the best solution, so I will try to improve it in the next days. The problem is, that I found nothing about ASCIIZ in VB.
  12. Now it works! First, I forgot to initialize FSUIPC... I could beat myself... Second, I found a way to avoid the string-problem: Dim msgString As String Dim msgPos As Integer msgString = "welcome" FSUIPC_Initialization If FSUIPC_Open(SIM_ANY, dwResult) = True Then For msgPos = 1 To Len(msgString) If FSUIPC_Write(13183 + msgPos, 2, VarPtr(Asc(Mid(msgString, msgPos, 1))), dwResult) Then If FSUIPC_Process(dwResult) Then End If End If Next msgPos If FSUIPC_Write(&H32FA&, 2, VarPtr(5), dwResult) Then If FSUIPC_Process(dwResult) Then End If End If End If
  13. I don't know why, but it doesn't work. This is my source code for VB: Dim test As String Dim control As Integer test = "hello!" control = 0 If FSUIPC_Write(&H3380&, 128, VarPtr(test), dwResult) Then If FSUIPC_Process(dwResult) Then End If End If If FSUIPC_Write(&H32FA&, 2, VarPtr(control), dwResult) Then If FSUIPC_Process(dwResult) Then End If End If Does anybody has an idea?
  14. Hi everybody, is it possible to generate a text message with FSUIPC like this one? http://www.christophpaulus.com/msg.jpg Greetings from Germany
