  1. Tutorial: how to get LUA Vars or commands out of FS

    in FAQ

    Posted

    Oh wow!

    Old as this thread is, I've only just read it (or tried to :oops: )

    It's brilliant. Only wish I had the 'know how' and aptitude to impliment this stuff.

    I only recently aquired some saitek panels (yuk! But hindsight is a wonderful thing :huh: ), for which some of this stuff can actually make work.

    This is just a 'pre-emptive' thanks to the contibutors (and Pete of course) in case I just happen to be able to make use of it.

    So, Thanks all!

    Unusual FSC Database Error

    in (Former) FS Commander Support Forum

    Posted

    Okay, I think I understand - thank you.

    I don't recall it being explained, but then my memory is not what it was :blink:

    I am a little confused though, as it worked previously with my addon scenery installed separately. I haven't reinstalled the scenery, I just removed and added it via the FSX library.

    Thank you for the explanation though, and I'll TRY not to bother you again.

    EDIT: Would it not be the scenerycfg.fsc file that must edit? Surely, if edit my scenery.cfg, then FSX then not see the scenery?

    Thanks

    Unusual FSC Database Error

    Strange - it said it was.

    I'll try again.

    Hello again

    For what it's worth, if it helps at all... I've tried running the DBM from the main PC, instead of the networked PC, and it works okay. So I'm assuming it's not corrupt scenery files etc.

    Thanks

    EDIT: It's by no means urgent by the way - I've sorted a 'work around' by just copying the FSC 'Database' folder from the main PC to the netwoked installation.

    Unusual FSC Database Error

    Hello Guys

    Not sure what I've done or what's gone wrong, but it appears I need some help with it...

    My FSC9 installation is on a networked PC and all has been well for a long time.

    I've just had to reinstall some scenery addons, and now, when attempting to run the database manager, I get an FSCDB error of: Source: cmdWorld_Click = 52 = Bad file name or number

    x:\\ORBX\FTX_AU\FTXAA_ORBXLIBS\scenery\

    Also attached log file.

    I don't think I did anything differently to what I usually do.

    Thanks

  7. Question Please

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    Hi pete

    I run FSUIPC on my main PC and WideFS on the client.

    I also use a hagical little application called Synergy. Do you know it? It enables the full control of both PCs via single keyboard & mouse without having to setup a KVM or the like.

    Triouble is, I think this is causing WideFS to pickup key commands and send them to FSX on the main PC.

    Is there a way around this?

    Thanks

  10. FSUIPC & Saitek FSX Pro-Flight Panels

    Thanks Pete, I appreciate the detail.

    It's truely 'gobsmacking' a company the size of saitek (can't even bring myself to use a capital s!!) choose such a route. With thier profits, surely they wouldn't even a notice the outlay of a commercial licence.

    They do seem to have gotten quite greedy these days; showing what appears to be contempt for customers. Example: I wanted the cyborg-x flight stick. No longer availible. It's been re-released as the f.l.y.5 Same stick - just a much higher price!

    I'm going to have a burning ceremony with my saitek stuff. Extreme? Yes, but it'll make ME feel just a tiny bit better :rolleyes:

  12. FSUIPC & Saitek FSX Pro-Flight Panels

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Posted

    Seems I've dropped a clanger by purchasing the Saitek range of panels for FSX :blink:

    I incorrectly thought they were programmable, but apparently they're not, which I find astounding to say the least.

    I have a registered version of FSUIPC and wondered if anyone else had found a way of either changing button asignments, or making these panels work with addon aircraft, like PMDG etc?

    Any help at all much appreciated.

    Cheers

  14. Quick One For Pete

    in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules

    Hello Pete

    Hope you're well.

    Been using FSUIPC since around 2004.

    I know the 'Profiles' option hasn't been in it since then, but I have only just started using it. Which is crazy 'cos I've been using individual settings for over 70 different addon aircarft prior to that!

    Nothing to ask, moan, winge or discuss, just a THANKS for continuing to improve this ammazing addon.

    Cheers mate - a beer from me!

    Ha, ha!

    ...and guess what? I've just discovered my 'USER' backup DVD is corrupt. So, apart from a shed load of other stuff, it also means about 4 years worth of FSUIPC config data setting gone :o

    Hey Pete

    After re reading what I put, never mind. It sounds like I'm taking the p*** and I don't like that.

    I've just re printed all FSUIPC related manuals and take them off to bed.

    Don't tell the wife though will you :oops:

    Thank you for your appreciation of my work!

    Hey Pete... Talk about timing.... Seems I've just 'stuffed' my FSUIPC/WideFS installs :blink:

    After reinstalling Win7x64, FSX and all my addons, I've now got no comms between FSUIPC and WideFS between the two PCs

    FSX reports 'waiting for connection'.

    I'm gonna be cheeky here Pete and just ask rather than plough through the docs again... ( I just got finished reading 4 other manuals & my head hurts :blink: ) Is there a common mistake when networking? It's been a long time since I installed them originally and can't remember setting it up.

    Here's what i THINK is relevant:

    ==============

    FSUIPC 4.6

    [WideServer]

    WideFSenabled=Yes

    AdvertiseService=1

    Port=8002

    Port2=9002

    ============================================

    WideFS 6.78

    [Config]

    ServerName=Main-PC

    Port=8002

    Window=32000,32000,160,34

    Visible=Yes

    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

    Problem With Addon Airports

    in (Former) FS Commander Support Forum

    Posted

    Hi Guys

    Beautifully sorted with Google Earth now, but I have another issue...

    This was also the same in v8.6...

    I have FSC v9 on a networked PC.

    Have run DB manager after running new download of MakeRwys without problems.

    However, At least two addon airports are not showing correctly in FSC9.

    In Fly Tampa Kai Tak, the ILS is not visible and in Aerosoft Madeira, the airport is not there at all.

    As in the previous FSC, it's possible to have them show by copying the data folder from the FSC installation on the main PC

    Hope I've made myself understood and that you can shed some light on it for me?

    Thanks
