Delphi

I have checked it on a second P3D V5.4 installation. Works without problems there. I will do some further investigations on the other installation. Ruediger

Same problem here. But the problem seems to be the export from LorbySceneryExport.exe, because the LorbyScenery.cfg has only one corrupt entry ([Area.001]. Will do some more investigations on my second development P3D 5.4 installation as time permits later today. Ruediger

Many Thanks... Rüdiger

Hi Paul, I am still in the process of migrating my applications to the new version of FSUIPCClient.dll. So far it works fine, except that I always get 'Nothing' back when reading the airlines assigned to a gate. In the g5.csv file these are contained. For example Gate 203, Payware LIME: LIME,,203,45.666995,9.697427,23.0,194.4,9,,RYR Basically my code is as follows: Dim MyGates As FsGate Dim db = FSUIPCConnection.AirportsDatabase Dim airport = db.Airports(ICAOOrigin) airport.LoadComponents(AirportComponents.Runways Or AirportComponents.Gates) For Each MyGates In airport.Gates For Each item In MyGates.Airlines If item = ICAO_Airline Then GateList.Add(s) End if Next Next I'm probably doing something wrong, but I can't find the mistake. Ruediger

Hi Paul, new version 3.3.4 works perfect for me. Thanks... Ruediger

Hi Paul, many thanks. Very appreciated... Ruediger

Hi Paul, I have several applications that use the Airport Database of your FSUIPC Client dll. For this I only want to rebuild the database at a central application and save the result on a network drive. All clients should then have access to this. Would this work or will there be access problems if multiple clients access the db at the same time? Kind regards, Ruediger

Thanks Paul...

Will WebSocket also be available for FSUIPC6? Ruediger

First I did several tests without changing the configuration (FSUIPC 6.0.10 P3D V5 HF1 was installed). The problem did not occur. My .net application did catch all menus. Second I installed FSUIPC 6.0.13a) and enabled the debug mode. Again some tests. All fine. Finally I put in 'TimeToDelayTexts' and tested with different delays. All fine. Always plenty of time between the messages and the menus. No overwriting. Ruediger

I did many test on a other P3D V5 installation yesterday. Unfortunately I could not catch the message overwriting. There are always plenty of time between the messages in question. The test execution was the same as last week, where the error occurred constantly. However, something must have been different. I do not know. Ruediger

All my tests have been performed on the same PC as P3D V5 runs. No WideFS involved. Also the tests tomorrow will be without WideFS. Ruediger

Tomorrow I will have the opportunity to perform the tests on a other P3D V5 installation. I will let you now the results. Ruediger

Hi Pete, I did many tests. Started with 100ms, down to 20ms in 10ms steps. Finally with 0ms. Restarted P3D for each test. The problem did not occur again. Then installed an older FSUIPC version (6.0.10), just to make sure that it is independend of the FSUIPC version. The problem did not occur anymore. I do not know the reason, it's a kind of magic because last week I had the problem almost with each run of a test. I am rather at a loss, because no change to the system have been made since last week. Stable configuration, no GSX update, tests performed always at the same airport and gate. Ruediger

Hi Pete, I did many tests over the weekend. I can not reproduce the error anymore. I did not do any modifications on my system. Same configuration as with the failed tests 3 days before. I can not explain that. No overwrite of messages vissible anymore. No [MessageFilters] used. Plain FSUIPC.ini + the debug features.

Hi Pete, I did some tests with a LUA script and event.textmenu. My LUA test scenario writes all appearing menus and messages in a text file, so I can easily review them.

Hi Paul, I have an issue with catching one specific GSX menue item. Basically my GSX remote control works very reliable and I can catch all menue items and messages. Only with one single message I have an issue, which seems to be a timing problem or overlap with an other GSX message.

Is FSUIPC 6.0.10 compatible to P3D V5.1? Ruediger

I use TouchOSC for a similar project. B737 MIP and AP is already implemented half way. Interface between TouchOSC is a .net application with Paul's DLL. TouchOSC provides many different controls for the UI. Running on both IOS and Adroid. The required app for the tablet costs less than 5,- EUR. Ruediger

Thanks Paul... Your advise made it working 🙂 Ruediger

Hi Paul, one of my friends wants to use one of my programs with the MSFS. I compiled it with 3.1.20. Unfortunately it seems not to work regarding communication to FSUIPC7. It seems that already the connection process fails. I can not offer any debugging information because I do not have access to that installation and I personally do not have a MSFS installation. My question is, do you have already a positive feedback from other users that it basically works? Kind regards, Ruediger

Why you don't conact Cockpitsonic? As I know they developed together with a other company EHID. They might have answers regarding current or future MSFS compatibiliy.
