  2. Feelthere/ Wilco ERJv2 Control Surface Lag

    It's frustrating when something doesn't work as expected, but if you have a problem and expect help, then it's essential to provide full information about your own particular setup, both hardware and software.

     

    Many simmers have been running the E-Jets and ERJ software with a whole variety of controllers for a number of years, so when some users have the kind of problems described, it usually comes down to something different in their particular installations. I have used E-Jets v2 for more than 5 years with 3 different computers, and different controllers, all running Win7 64bit. The software has worked correctly with FSX SP2, and with Prepar3D versions 1.4, 2.2, and currently 3.2. There is certainly no problem using SSDs. I have used E-Jets on Intel, Samsung, OCZ and Sandisk SSds.

     

    Some things to consider. They won't all be relevant in each case, but may help.

     

    1) If the problem occurred recently, what software changes have been made, including Windows updates. Try restoring to an earlier date.

    2) Do you have a corrupted download. These are often related to using anti virus software while downloading.

    3) Always install as administrator, and also run the sim as administrator.

    4) Wherever practical disable User Account Controls.

    5) Windows 10 has thrown up a few driver related hardware issues. Some have been resolved. Use Google.

    6) If controls are assigned through the simulator, check the 'Controls' section under the Axes tab. Are they all there, and not duplicated. If they look correct then use the calibration tab and calibrate each axis. If controls are assigned through FSUIPC, then check they do not also appear in the simulator controls section. Delete as necessary.

    7) Do you have other add ons installed which may use special programming techniques to overcome weaknesses in the FSX/P3D software. These may conflict with older software like the E-Jets. Try uninstalling other add on aircraft to test.

    8)Follow the advice from Feelthere and load first with a default aircraft at a default airfield, then load a presaved E-Jet or ERJ situation, or create a new one.

    9) Hardware driver or control software can cause a conflict, especially if more than one version is installed. Depending how your controls are assigned, problems can affect one aircraft and not others. When using Win7 or later, many of the joysticks, throttles and rudder pedals will operate without any additional software, and can be calibrated under Windows. Then you could delete previous drivers.

     

    I have no experience of CH products so cannot comment on those, but I had no problems with the E-Jets using a Saitek X36 Hotas, Saitek yoke, Saitek throttles or Saitek rudder pedals. None of them affected fps at any time. I currently run a replica E195 home cockpit with multiple screens and custom hardware using E-Jets v2 with a heavily modified panel cfg, and everything programmed and controls calibrated through FSUIPC. Everything works.

     

    Regarding FSUIPC, this is one of the most useful and reliable utilities available to simmers. It is totally compatible with E-Jets and with all versions of FS2004, FSX and P3D, but if you use the full version, keep it up to date, and most important - read the manual very carefully.

     

    Computer problem solving requires a systematic approach, which can be time consuming, but it's often the only way to get reliable results.

    1) Not recently, But that reminds me that I should install my updates. I had this problem on my old computer too. I was starting to think its a joystick thing but its not, it happens with the keyboard too.

    2) I don't have a corrupt download. I havent disabled those things but I might and try redownloading and reinstalling the aircraft.

    3) Always do this.

    4) Always do this. 

    5) If you dont mind, please elaborate? What type of drivers?

    6) Nope. Checked. All good. 

    7) Not really. I tried the aircraft on a fresh install of P3D and it still did it.

    8) Tried. Failed. =(

    9) (Dont know how to respond to this tbh)

    Incredible...

     

     

    No one knows. Its weird actually.. Also a little sad, a product like this is amazing. Too bad Feelthere wont update it at all for P3D or just a new version for FSX.. Something that could possibly help us would be nice. Has any of the other chaps who were having this issue fix it at all?

    use the configuration utility to adjust the plane's gauge refresh rates and/or reduce the setting of the visuals in FS.

     

    and the ERJv2 wasn't made to work with the 'steam' addition -

    Idk how the gauges would affect the ailerons, elevators, and rudders, that has nothing to do with my problem, thats gauges. My problem is, is that when i move the control surfaces there is a pause after i level off the turn or climb, so when i move  my joystick up and stop moving it up the sim pauses for like half a second everytime, and its really annoying. Idk what to do.

    When I turn my ERJ-145XR/ LR it will start to turn, but when I stop turning, my FSX:SE will pause for like half a second and resume, its quite annoying and I dont know why. I'm using an Extreme 3D Pro joystick, and recently got a new graphics card. FSX Lags really bad when i move the controls, but when I don't it doesn't lag at all, i don't know what the problem is. Ive tried to reinstall, but nothing.

    The jetways in FSDT scenerys or any other sceneries will not connect to the front door, does anyone have the correct coordinates for the aircraft.cfg so the jetways connect to the aircraft.
