hello peter

first sorry for my english.

few days ago i download the last update of fsuipc/wideclient from the web page ,i install in fsx pc the fsuipc server and the other 3 pc the wide cliend, and all is ok during installacion.

i am a progect magenta customer and fly whit my home cockpit, thats mean i have intall glass cockpit,pmsystem,cdu,mcp.

after install the new update all comunication is slow down, when fly the nd continius stop and start like frezze, the pmsystem recive a signal 5 or 6 second later, is like the comunication start and stop or is change to slowly. i configure the wideclient whit tcp and upd protocoll and i see all connect and perfect, but when i fly all is slowly down.

i bak whit the anterior release and bak to the normal operation,whit no problem.

the fsuipc is a registration version.

do you think is my problem configuration?

or someting is change in the new release?

thanks in advanced

I always need VERSION NUMBERS please! You don't even mention whether it is FSUIPC3 or FSUIPC4, FSX or ESP or P3D or FS98 or FS2000 or FS2002 or FS2004!???

It sounds like you've made other changes apart from simply installing FSUIPC and WideFS. Check the WideServer and WideClient log files. That's what they are for, to tell you waht is going on!

i bak whit the anterior release and bak to the normal operation,whit no problem.

And what are the version numbers for the previous releases you are using?

Note that the way WideFS works has not changed in any way affecting communications or performance for about 7 years!

If you cannot figure out what the Logs are telling you, paste them into a message here. Include your INI files too please. And next time PLEASE give VERSION numbers. That's what they are for, so I can tell what you are using properly!

Any reason you are using TCP protocol? UDP is usually more efficient. I use it here with 6 PCs and Project Magenta and it is all very smooth.

If using TCP is slowing things down then it will be due to lots of retries. UDP doesn't have error correction, so it needs a reliable network. This entry in your log is worrying too:

377179 **** ERROR! Sumcheck or length fails on received block (skt=9544), len=628 (time=5575680)

377179 **** (N.B. Previous block was only partial)

That implies something not behaving quite so well on your Network.

However, your performance figures don't look really bad:

Throughput maximum achieved: 96 frames/sec, 50972 bytes/sec

Throughput average achieved for complete session: 25 frames/sec, 11864 bytes/sec

Average receive rate from "SERVIDORCOMEDOR": 15 frames/sec, 5183 bytes/sec

Average receive rate from "COMEDOR": 9 frames/sec, 1638 bytes/sec

Average receive rate from "CASA": 7 frames/sec, 380 bytes/sec

What is your average FSX frame rate? Maybe you should show me the FSUIPC4 log file to.

Unfortunately the WideClient log files you showed were not complete -- it looks like you did not close the WideClients first. The performance figures for those are loast, they'd be at the end.

you right peter the upd configuration is fast (i tink) i change again due to tcp just to chek if a problem come whit the protocol.

and the log is not complete becouse i have a simulator on whait for possible test.

thanks

sorry fsuipc4 log

again, another log, another one unfinished.

Please NEVER post logs without first closing the relevant programs! I already told you "With all those logs unfinished there's no useful information.!!!!

Why are you sending this in any case? Last post you said "antill now work good"!?

You are confusing matters. The logs are unfinished and otherwise show things are okay, with reasonable performance as far as I can see with limited data. Your FSUIPC log shows an average FS frame rate of only 18 fps but one of your Client PCs was getting serviced by WideFS at 15 fps, which is about what I'd expect in such circumstances.

Please PLEASE stop posting incomplete logs. They are not useful.

Average frame rate for running time of 5325 secs = 20.2 fps

So FSX is running at 20 fps, and the applications on that client are getting at least that same frame rate each, excpet one:

The only exception is pmSystems, which is probably okay as that only needs to deal with overhead changes:

406 New Client Application: "pmsystems" (Id=3704)

The only worry is the loading on that Client:

2712078 Max receive buffer = 1602, Max send depth = 26, Send frames lost = 5

You forgot to send the Server log, which would show its performance, but on the whole it certainly looks as if WideFS and FSUIPC are performing very well on a system which is struggkling with rather too much load. 20 fps is okay, but not exactly good. I also think you are rather overloading that Client with 4 copies of PPM's PFD! Why on Earth are you doing that? With F6 expanded mode you could have all 5 displays -- Pilot and copilot PFD and ND and the EICAS all from one copy. When I used to run several copies of PFD on one PC I got awful stuttering, especially in climbs, turns and descents.

The problem I think is PM's use of OpenGL instead of DirectX. OpenGL is no where near as fast these days.

hi peter

can you explain to me what you mind f6 expanded mode.

i use 1 pc whit 3 monitor on matrox 1 monitor capitan size 2 monitor eicam 3 monitor copilot and in the second monitor whit eicam i bild the alitude and speed indicator to see in the hole of the mip

thanks again

By making all three monitors one large screen you can stretch a single copy of PM PFD over the whole width and have pilot, eicas and copilot screens all in one window.

I'm afraid I can't really explain how to do it -- I've not messed with my PM setup for years and don't want to disturb it as it took months to get right. I'm not using Expanded F6 mode any more -- I have spearate mini-PCs for each part. It's the only way I ever got them smooth enough.

Ask on the Project Magenta support section of MyCockpit (http://www.mycockpit.org/forums).
