David Cox Posted December 28, 2003 Report Posted December 28, 2003 Hi Pete - long time no speak. I wonder if you can help - I'm using the latest versions of FSUIPC and WideFS with Project Magenta and I'm getting problems with the V-Speeds updating from the CDU to the PFD (they don't stay in sync when I lower flaps - they lag behind but the pattern varies). I have checked the logs on your software components and the only one with error messages is the Wideclient one (see attached). Have you any idea what is wrong here ?. Many thanks David Cox ********* WideClient.DLL Log [version 6.101] Class=FS98MAIN ********* Date (dmy): 28/12/03, Time 16:47:49.484: Client name is XEON 312 Attempting to connect now 6875 Error on client pre-Connection Select() [Error=10051] Network is unreachable 6890 Ready to try connection again 6937 Attempting to connect now 94922 Connection made okay! 105172 Connection closed by server! 105187 Ready to try connection again 105218 Attempting to connect now 105234 Connection made okay! 264218 New Client Application: "CDUDemo" (Id=1108) 372015 New Client Application: "MCPDemo" (Id=776) 431953 New Client Application: "GCDemo" (Id=432) 2095515 WRITESTATEDATA received with bad data size! 2095515 1500 ReadLocal: Offset=2F03DD4, Size=1A10 2658422 1813 ReadLocal: Offset=2F03DD4, Size=2310 3852234 3516 ReadLocal: Offset=2F03DD4, Size=3610 4121281 1750 ReadLocal: Offset=2F03DD4, Size=3A10 5358359 Connection closed by server! 5358375 Ready to try connection again 5358422 Attempting to connect now 5493453 Connection made okay! 5578781 WRITESTATEDATA received with bad data size! 5578781 94 ReadLocal: Offset=60000000, Size=4747 5793422 Connection closed by server! 5793422 Ready to try connection again 5793453 Attempting to connect now 7230109 Connection made okay! 7241453 New Client Application: "cdu" (Id=692) 7349359 New Client Application: "MCP" (Id=752) 7369250 GetRecv() missed block?

Sequence 3283 jumped to 3285 It looks like you are getting occasional garbage on this connection -- this could be a LAN driver problem, but it could equally be a bad cable, bad connection or faulty network card. However, I doubt whether these odd few errors would give you any consistent lag in specific values being updated. Quite honestly I don't even know whether the V-speeds are updated through WideFS and FSUIPC or directly via the NetDir files mechanism PM uses. You really need to chat to the PM folks. Try the Newsgroup. Regards, Pete
David Cox Posted December 29, 2003 Author Report Posted December 29, 2003 Pete, Thanks for your advice - I've now switched to TCP/IP (from IPX) and I no longer get any error messages in the log files for your modules - I think this points to a problem with the IPX drivers on my system - do you agree ? It's a shame because Project Magenta seems to update more smoothly from FS2004 when I use IPX. Anyway, the V-speed problem still exists so it's obviously nothing to do with your modules Many thanks David

Possibly -- IPX/SPX should be okay with a 100% Win98SE set up. If you are using WinXP or WinMe I'd be very suspicious of IPX/SPX in any case. It's a shame because Project Magenta seems to update more smoothly from FS2004 when I use IPX. Smoothness shouldn't be a problem with TCP/IP, unless you have too much of the server processing time being hogged by FS, not allowing the (certainly less efficient) TCP/IP stuff to operate. Try reducing the FS frame rate limiter more. Anyway, the V-speed problem still exists so it's obviously nothing to do with your modules I hope you find the answer. Regards, Pete
