PM software abgc have still delay's?

[bwr014]

Hi Peter,

As i mention before on the PM forum i still have that same problem with PM software and the delay after a while i now noticed that if i pause the game and resume again the PM software stay on pause and even if i reset the flight it keeps on pause than suddenly it starts again where i was left a while back and when i then even close the whole FS the PM is still running like if it is still in actual flight.... i dont understand what it can be maybe you can see something in my logfiles.... i see some errors but no idea what they mean.

This is of the wideclient

On the other comp(system003) i have running FS-communicator but that logfile doesnt show any strange things...

hope you can see what the problem can be because like this i cant use any pm software :(

even close the whole FS the PM is still running like if it is still in actual flight.

I don't think that is at all possible. I think you mean that the PM software is frozen, hanging? What does PM support say to that?

14360 New Client Application: "abgc" (Id=1744)

1219353 Note: Send() request depth is over 100!

You had no errors on this Client for over 20 minutes, but then a short-lived problem where it had a difficulty sending something to the server. This may have been because you had FS loading a file or something. There's nothing significantly wrong though.

The only other error:

1900603 LAN data received:

PREQ ulSize=276, ulTime=22330, uSum=22431, fUsed=0

20 00 00 FE 04 00 AC 0C 00 00 74 02 00 FE 02 00

1934571 Reception maximum achieved: 39 frames/sec, 4930 bytes/sec

Looks as if the client PC was frozen (hardware or driver problem) for a while -- quite a while judging by the gap in the block numbers (22330 to 22431 -- 100 blocks missing!!!)

Again, with WideServer:

1925547 Retried 137 times: sends blocked for over 5 secs! (0 of 349 sent), Error=10035 (skt=3716)

1930563 Retried 135 times: sends blocked for over 5 secs! (0 of 361 sent), Error=10035 (skt=3716)

1930766 Send ok but needed 5 attempts! (360 of 360 sent) (skt=3716)

1956578 Retried 137 times: sends blocked for over 5 secs! (0 of 381 sent), Error=10035 (skt=3716)

1961594 Retried 136 times: sends blocked for over 5 secs! (0 of 395 sent), Error=10035 (skt=3716)

1962813 Send ok but needed 32 attempts! (395 of 395 sent) (skt=3716)

1974641 Send ok but needed 134 attempts! (369 of 369 sent) (skt=3716)

1987422 Send ok but needed 109 attempts! (380 of 380 sent) (skt=3716)

1998781 Send ok but needed 115 attempts! (302 of 302 sent) (skt=3716)

Those errors look real bad, but before that there was absolutely nothing wrong for over 32 minutes. So it doesn't lok like there's anything wrong with the Network, at least with the WideFS linking.

Errors like Sends from the Server being blocked, or needing many retries, are usually caused by hangs or problems in the Client, but as seen in the Client Log these aren't occurring in Wideclient. The prime suspect in my opinion will be the video drivers, the OpenGL parts used by PM. If they hang or cause problems it will affect everything else on the same PC, whereas is there were problems inside the PM code itself the network should still run okay. If it isn't the video side, then some intermittent problem on the Network Card (unlikely) or a virus.

hope you can see what the problem can be because like this i cant use any pm software :(

I think you need help from the PM folks. WideFs is doing okay here, honest. It looks most likely to be video drivers, but as I said there are other areas. Check with them for some advice.

Hello Pete,

Thanks for your quick response:)

even close the whole FS the PM is still running like if it is still in actual flight.

I don't think that is at all possible. I think you mean that the PM software is frozen, hanging? What does PM support say to that?

I ment with that that i did closed the whole flightsim so i had nothing running on the main computer again but PM was still running like it thougt that the FS2004 was still there.

I dont understand what it can be i only can try to switch the comp 2 and 3 and see if that would solve the problem just need to ask then to the PM foks for a new key otherwise i cant use it on that one.

I only did pause the game that day could be after 20 min and restarted the game maybe 10 min later but this is also happening if i dont pause it but when i reset the game or have a crash of the plane.

I will see what i can switch to be sure it is the comp itself i will keep you informed about it.

That's what I thought you meant, and as I said, it is not possible -- unless PM was simply frozen, or running in demo mode.

But this is a question for PM, not me, in any case.

I dont understand what it can be i only can try to switch the comp 2 and 3 and see if that would solve the problem just need to ask then to the PM foks for a new key otherwise i cant use it on that one.

Good idea. you should be able to get a new key easily enough.

Pete
