Peter Here's how to dispay your current FPS AND Average FPS in FSX In your FSX.CFG file that is in your Documents and Settings \Application Data\Microsoft\FSX uou can add a setting to display average FPS in addition or instead of your current FPS. Migh help in diagnosing things. The following TEXT INFO sections can be used to customize your SHIFT-Z text experience. Valid entries are… Latitude Longitude Altitude Heading AirSpeed WindDirectionAndSpeed FrameRate AverageFrameRate LockedFrameRate GForce FuelPercentage It is formatted as… Entry=Line Number, Position Number Latitude 2,3 Will put the latitude entry on the second line, third from the left. Hope that Helps

Pete :D Good news ! I am back up and running I think with no errors. Now the bad news ..... :cry: I began digging and noticed more performance problems. I ran a chkdsk and found numerous HD problems. I ended up getting a new drive and reloading everything, XP, FS etc, etc. I have things almost complete and can connect fine with no errors. So I think I was getting data corruption at the HD leval basically. In any case thanks for all the help and keep that one in mind as an outside possibility :idea: Henry

Pete Looks like I have some digging to do this weekend. I have noticed a slight performance degradation lately. I will look at memory as a possible cause. I have 2 GB of RAM in the computer that runs FS so lack of memory shouldn't be an issue. I will do some testing. The performance log is missing due to the fact that FS just shutdown after hanging and logs did not get updated/closed properly I assume. I will also look at client logs also. If you can yell me which logs are relevant and I can include them going forward and also what other information may be helpful that I should include. Thanks again for you diligence and always helpful assistance. Henry

Peter I downloaded and registered the FS ADdon Manager you mentioned. I am slowly weeding through things with it. I have removed many addon A/C that I don't use often. I haven't gotten to the scenery or AI part yet ( a little more reading required) I make another flight today aftewards and again FS hung and I have included the WideFS log from that session as an attachment. I noticed alot of sockets that get disconnected after a period of time. Any insight or direction is again appreciated. Henry Adam WideServer.zip

PEter Thanks for the speedy reply ! I'll review the Widefs docs. and look at the timeout settings first. If that resolves it then I don't need to move and BGL files. I'll post a reply with what I find and what resolved the issue. I'll change timeouts if need be first and fly with that before changing anything else as I never make multiple changes at one time. Helps to know what resolved things or was the issue. Also it make it simple if new issues occur after making a change. It may be a few days before I can post the results as I want to be sure of the resolution. I will post and interum findings or issues if the occur. Thanks again for the prompt reply. Henry

Daniel The FSUIPC manual talks about stting up a joystick/Flight yoke or other keyboard button for PPT the place where you saw I think about using one button for both PPT Com1/2 and PVT Chat is in SB. I use one of my yoke buttons for PTT for Com1/2 I don't do PVT Chats online though so I don't have it set for both. My thoughts and questions ( for clarification) on this: If you have any of your radios tuned to an active freq and press the PTT button you will be transmitting on that freq even if you want to just do PVT Voice. Currently how do you do PVT Voice? Maybe one one is to set it in SB do use both COM1/2 and PVT Voice and when you want to use just PVT Voice de-tune your radio freq to an unused freq. That way you wouldn;t be Xmit'g on Com1/2 on an active freq. Let us know what you find as others I am sure use or want to use this feature. Thanks Henry

I have been using the registered FSUIPC 3.5 for several months now. I have SB3, Widefs Server, ASV, and Servinfo running running on one PC and FS9, Servinfo and Widefs client on the other. Recently I will be flying online and be enroute with everything functioning fine when suddenly FS will hang or freeze. What I have noticed is that normally I show 1 client connected via Widefs when FS9 hangs or freezes I now have noticed that the number of Widefs connections will increase to as many as 11 connections. I use a hardware router/firewall for WAN access and also Zonealarm Pro on both PC's. I have the approiate ports opened and everything works fine most of the time with the exception of when I get multiple connections through Widefs. Just wondering if this has been seen before and if it is a "known problem" that has been encountered and I missed it in the Forum. If I shut down everything and restart things will be fine and I can start a new flight and usually be fine for the 2-3 hour flight. It happens usually once every 5 flights or days nothing really regular as I can see. I am very experienced in network architecture and configurations and see nothing out of the ordinary in log files for the firewalls, so I am somewhat stumped. Any help , insight or related expierences are appreciated in advance. Henry Adam
