  1. Hi Pete I can also confirm a crashing problem with FS that has just recently started happening. I've not tried rolling back FSUIPC so can't say if that is causing the problem. I use a NVIDIA 7600GT card. My crashes happen in the exact same was as above - I also am getting rare, random crashes where FS just cuts out and drops to desktop with no explination in the blink of an eye - very strange because I'm not running any addons really - I use PM software on another computer. it's probably not even FSUIPC causing the problem, I've had no problems with it in the past - it may be something else. It would be nice to get to the bottom of it! Any idea where I can try out FSUIPC 3.70 to see if that stops the problem? Thanks
  2. Hi guys I apologise that I have not had time to read the developers manual fully but I have very little time to dedicate to FS at the moment. I'm quite computer illiterate too so that doesnt help either! I was wondering is somebody could simply explain how to do just one thing. Basically I want to be able to press a key to totally disconnect and reconnect my elevator and ailerons axes. I think I've figured so far by skimming the documentation that it has something to do with offset 310A. Now I've tried adding a key press with Offset Byte Togglebits with x310A in the offset bit but I'm unsure what I should be putting in the parameter section? I'm going to set another key press to reconnect the axes but I am unsure what parameter I should be using for this. Thanks, sorry once again for not reading the whole manual but I only need this one tiny bit of information. Thanks
  3. Hi Pete, problem solved!! The "AutoUpdateTime" did it, I changed it a few times and found 40 to be the sweet spot. Everything runs as smooth as silk now - no stuttering and great performance all around. Thanks for you help. Ben
  4. Hi Pete after re-reading this post this morning I noticed that my Server ini reads: [ClientNames] 1=HEWITT1 2=SECOND HEWITT1 was my old name for my Client PC (named SECOND now) - I wonder why it is showing up still? Could it be that in some way my server PC is receiving all the data from WideFS twice? I tried deleting the info from the ini file but that old client name still shows up! I have no idea how to get rid of it.
  5. Hi Pete I'm running a fast FS computer but because I don't use Add on scenery and don't like Autogen on I usually get a FPS of around 70/80fps so tend to lock at 50 or so. I have tried locking the FPS all the way down tp 25fps but I still get this problem at the same rate. Here are my Ini Files: Client: [Config] Port=8002 Window=32000,32000,160,34 Visible=Yes ServerName=MAIN ButtonScanInterval=20 ClassInstance=0 NetworkTiming=5,1 MailslotTiming=2000,1000 PollInterval=2000 Port2=9002 ResponseTime=18 ApplicationDelay=0 TCPcoalesce=No WaitForNewData=500 MaxSendQ=100 OnMaxSendQ=Log NewSendScanTime=50 Priority=3,1,2 ; ----------------------------------------------- [user] Log=Errors+ KeySend1=RWon KeySend2=RWoff ; =============================================== Server: ; PLEASE SEE the documentation for parameter details ; ================================================== [Config] Port=8002 AdvertiseService=1 AutoRestart=0 AutoUpdateTime=13 MaximumBlock=4096 NoStoppedRestarts=Yes Port2=9002 RestartTime=10 SendTimeout=15 TCPcoalesce=No ; ----------------------------------------------- [user] Log=Errors+ ; =============================================== [ClientNames] 1=HEWITT1 2=SECOND EDIT: Not tried UDP - I will certainly give it a go.

  6. Hi Thomas thanks, I've tried all those tips and hints and nothing solves the problem! Here is a log from my flight tonight from EDDF-EGLL, about 30 mins in my performance degrades to stuttering.

  7. I'm at work now but I'll do a test flight tonight and have a look. I'm using FSUIPC 3.70 and WideFS 6.70. No delay at all really, everything is running quickly just the stutters in FS. I tried doing a 4 hour flight over the weekend with the LDS 767 and Activesky /SB3 over WideFS and had no stutters what so ever. OpenGL framerates are usually in the 110-140 region. I've already tried that, it still happens at the same rate. I've tried TCP and IPX so far witht he same results, I'll try UDP tonight. What I can't get my head around is why FS seems to be suffering with the stutters - something has got to be building up as it's fine at first. Hopefully something shows up in the logs. Thanks for the swift support.
  8. Hi Pete, I'm having a strange problem when using WideFS with the Project Magenta Airbus software. I'm running the PM software on a new high end machine with 2 monitors, I'm running FS on another high end machine. Performance is not my problem, both machines perform exceptionally well and I've had no problems running the software or FS. I'm using the latest FSUIPC and WideFS from your site for FS9. I load up FS then start WideFS and all the PM software as normal and everything is running fine, FS is running smoothly with a constant locked 40fps, all the PM software is running as it should. After approximately 30 minutes I start getting small stutters in FS, these small stutters grow and grow and it turns into a slideshow after an hour or so. My FPS are still showing 40 but sharp drops with the stutters. I've monitored the memory consumption on my FS machine and everything still looks good and stable - plenty of memory and CPU left. Funnily enough the GC software on my other machine still runs perfectly without any stutters although the FS data rate drops from the normal 40 or so to around 8. As soon as I close WideFS on my client machine the stutters totally disappear instantly. I am then able to reconnect and fly with no stutters until a further 30 minutes. I've tried changing cables and even network cards but it still happens. I'm using static IP addresses and a Lynksys router sharing my internet connection. I've tried all the networking optimising tips in the PM documentation with no luck. I've been using WideFS for years now and never seen anything that resembles this problem, it's only happening when I use PM software. Could I have some setting wrong - I've tried quite a few tips found on the forum and the documentation. I'm just hoping you have heard of this problem before and can help! Thanks Ben
