  1. SUCCESS! Thanks Pete for all the work you've put into this. Although I don't do much in the way of programming these days I do remember how difficult it can be to eliminate some obscure bugs. At least I was usually only programming for myself. It must be an order of magnitude more difficult when someone else encounters a problem that you can't reproduce locally. Thanks once again. Ian
  2. Pete, New log just sent by email. Regards, Ian
  3. Hi, I have created the logs, and will send via email. The sequnce of events was: 1. Ensure IPC read logging set on in FSUIPC 2. Stop and restart FSX at my default EGBB having set time to 'day' 3. Wait for loading bar to reach 100% 4. Start Trafficlook - no ground traffic displayed 5. Wait a few seconds 6. Turn IPC read logging off 7. Slew off ground 8. Unslew for a few seconds 9. Slew 10. Trafficlook still displays no ground traffic, but airborne ok 11. Change sim time by 5 minutes 12. Trafficlook now displays ground traffic ok Regards, Ian
  4. Hi Pete, Well, with 4.112 there's bad news and good news. The bad news is that Trafficlook still shows no ground traffic initially. The good news is that on switching to airborne traffic that appears to be complete. Also, if I use the trick of changing the sim time by a few minutes to reload the traffic, the ground traffic appears as it did with 4.11, but the difference is that as soon as a flight reaches the 'clearance' phase it displays the flight number correctly. The puzzling thing is that although the ground display is initially blank, if I'm reading correctly the FSUIPC log (with the debug options you gave in your last post) appears to show all the traffic, ground and airborne, right from the start. For example: 41563 AIRCRAFT: Ref=2901 [x0B55],OnGnd=1,Tail="F-BHDM",Airline="Orbit",Flight="1123",Type="DeHavilland" 41563 Lat=52.4568,Lon=-1.7367,Alt=334,Gnd=327, GS=0,AS=0,VS=0,Pch=-0.1,Bnk=0.0,COM1=2485 41563 State="sleep" [1], Runway="", From="EGBB", To="LFLL" Then there's a series of entries such as: 42547 Aircraft Object ID 2876 supplied Then more AIRCRAFT lines, which I assume are the aircraft entering the local sector after the sim is running. Simconnect and FSUIPC logs available if you need them. Regards, Ian ps I don't believe my PC is abnormally fast. It's a core 2 duo 6600 with 2 GiB RAM. No overclocking.
  5. Pete, I've been perfoming a series of tests for this problem, and have discovered the following: 1) It's not a problem introduced by 4.11 - 4.10 shows the same behaviour. 2) The lack of reported traffic is not restricted to ground traffic, although the effect is less apparent with airborne traffic. When first starting a free flight at an airport, Trafficlook displays no traffic on the ground or in the air. The airborne display begins to get populated within a few seconds, but does not display all aircraft. The aircraft displayed appear to be those entering the 'local sector' after the sim is running. Those that are already in the local sector are not displayed. If you wait long enough for one of these displayed aircraft to land at the local airport, this aircraft is then displayed as ground traffic, but none of the others at the airport are. 3) As discovered previously, if the sim time is changed causing a reload of the traffic, all local traffic is displayed as appropriate in the ground or airborne displays. 4) It seems that even after forcing a reload of the traffic by changing the time, those aircraft on the ground do not get a flight number displayed. This is even afer they have reached 'init' stage. In fact, as in my earlier post, if one of these aircraft takes off it then appears in the arborne display without a flight number too. Flights landing at the local arport do get a reported flight number. I haven't waited long enough to see if such aircraft get a flight number after turn-around on their outbound flight. 5) I have created Simconnect and FSUIPC logs from startup, through changing the time to force a reload, until after a nearby aircraft reached 'init' phase. I'm fairly certain that very briefly while in the 'plan' phase, Trafficlook displayed this aircraft with a flight number, but that disappeared immediately afterwards. I will be sending a zip of these two logs via email. Regards, Ian
  6. Pete, This is FSX with SP1, FSUIPC 4.11, and the SDK with SP1a. Only default traffic is used. The only add-on is xclass from Cloud9, which would have no bearing on traffic. Trafficlook was started after FSX, and after FSX had completed all the scenery setup, traffic loading etc. The FSUIPC log was created with the IPC Reads and writes box ticked initially, but writes were subsequently unticked, as I didn't think these would be relevant. Although very large, the log shows empty entries in the traffic table for quite some time, until the time/date was changed in FSX, then it's ok. Towards the end of the log there should be the details about the flight with missing flight number. Again I repeat this is default traffic, and the aircraft has been cleared and taken off from EGBB. ATC correctly gave the flight number in the take-off clearance. I have set the zip by email. Ian
  7. Pete, It looks like the attachment didn't work. Possibly it's too large at 2.7 Mb. I can send it by email if you think it will help. Ian.
  8. Pete, I'm also seeing no ground traffic in Trafficlook when starting FSX. I started at my default airport (Birmingham EGBB) and nothing was showing in Trafficlook, not even the user aircraft. I then changed the time and the traffic then showed up OK. There's also another problem with traffic - some of the flights are not showing the flight number, just the airline name. This occurs in both ground traffic and airborne traffic. The attached zip contains an FSUIPC log file from a session showing both problems, and an rtf containing a screen print of the Trafficlook display. The aircraft in slot 21 has just taken off from EGBB, and ATC announced it as World Travel 4027, but Trafficlook (and I assume the log file) just show it as World Travel. Ian
  9. Pete, There's a file on avsim called fs2004_bgl_structures.zip by Winfried Orthmann. I haven't had much chance to look at it yet, and Winfired says he doesn't have all the info yet, but at least it's a start. Ian
  10. Pete, If you do amend Trafficlook at any time in the future there's a minor bug in the way it displays the 'From' and 'To' airports in the ground traffic display. An aircraft arriving at an airport will continue to display the same data for from and to, even after clearance to the new destination and during taxiing for take-off. Once airborne, if you switch the display to airborne traffic only it correctly displays the new data. Ian
  11. It's unlikely your GPS will act as a moving map from external data. The GPS V certainly won't, and neither would my older Magellan unit. The idea is that the GPS provides data for use with a moving map program on a PC or PDA. GPSout provides a similar facility - it will provide moving map data to another PC or PDA over a serial link.
