FlyingBee Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Hi All, I'm hoping I can get some help with getting FSX to send the a/c position to ADEX. I've used both for many years, currently have ADE 1.6 Am a registered user of FSUIPC, latest version. Usually (ie up till now) ADEX shows the a/c position on an airfield being edited. Now, despite being'connected', it shows the a/c at Lat, Long, Alt and Time all zeros. FSX works OK and shows (Shift-Z) the correct coordinates. In ADE I can 'move the a/c to cursor position', and it does so very briefly, then the a/c symbol disappears again and the coordinates remain at zeros. ADE Environment Checker says the connection is active, but the FSUIPC section shown the coordinates at zeros despite being correctly connected. So the problem is, is this FSUIPC somehow not picking up on the coordinates, or is ADE simply not responding as it should. I've posted on their forum, but so far without response. Would very much value some ideas - it's difficult to use ADEX effectively without using the a/c as a positioner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dowson Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 ADE Environment Checker says the connection is active, but the FSUIPC section shown the coordinates at zeros despite being correctly connected. So the problem is, is this FSUIPC somehow not picking up on the coordinates, or is ADE simply not responding as it should. There's no way FSUIPC is "not picking up the coordinates". Please close FS down and show me the FSUIPC log file. Past its contents into a message here. You can enclose it using the <> button, above the edit area here.

FlyingBee Posted July 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Pete, The log file right now is 190Kb - do you actually want me to show the whole thing? Too big to attach, according to the instruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian P Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 As Pete says, the log is a text file, please just open it, select all, copy and paste into a message using the button with the <> symbol at the top of the reply box (under the smiley face).

GHD Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 This sometimes happens to me. The solution is to slew the aircraft slightly in FSX and the correct position will be displayed in ADE. George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian P Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Pause is my usual problem - if I move the aircraft while the sim is paused, the position in ADE is not updated. Unpause briefly, ADE updates, then press pause again. Ian P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingBee Posted July 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Thanks for the comments and suggestions,folks. I've tried the slew method - doesn't help. I've tried unpausing - by cancelling the 'Pause on task' setting it doesn't pause anyway. Doesn't seem to make any difference. I'll copy and paste the log file in its entirety - give me a few minutes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switch off ALL logging options please, I asked for none. The log will be very short then! And do NOT press "New Log" as that closes the original log and starts a new one. And i need to see the whole log, with the closing parts after FS is closed. And it needs to be for a currently supported version -- 4.929 is old. Current is 4.934. Just start FS, run the program you have problems with, close FS, show the log. That's all. do not set any options whatsoever. Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Dowson Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Last night I tried doing it the way you suggested. The file was still very large (108Kb), and the forum software declined to post my reply as being too large. Don't ever bother to try to post text files in any case. It is always best to simply paste their contents into a message. If you ever do need to attach files, ZIP them first. Even a huge text file ZIPs pretty small! If the file is large it must be because you have logging options still checked. Just make sure all options are unchecked on the logging tab BEFORE closing FS down, then when you start it up again the log will be normal. Now I've backed up that large file, and started again, producing the log as shown here:********* FSUIPC4, Version 4.934 by Pete Dowson ********* And yet you STILL went to the logging tab and pressed "New Log" just like I asked you not to! :sad: Anyway, the little it does contain (as a result of aborting the start-up log and starting a new one, again), does show that FSUIPC is working fine, no problems at all -- unless they are occurring during the first 3 minutes which would have been detailed in the normal, original, log. Your frame rate of a mere 11.6 fps seems terribly low. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingBee Posted July 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Pete, I suspect I'm not explaining myself adequately. I did not try simply posting the log file. I opened it, copied it in its entirety (108Kb), pasted it into the <> box as part of a reply. It told me the post was too large, and didn't post it. The logging options are all unticked. I then backed up that log file, because I realised that I wouldn't be able to send you that one unabridged. The only way I could send a small enough file was to start again, and that's what I did. I still have the backed up 108Kb file, if it's of any use to you, but I can only post it in chunks. You say that from what you can see, FSUIPC is working OK. But clearly something is not right. Your comment about the fps rate is not surprising - it tends to be low, usually when situated at a complex add-on airport and with large amounts of AI overhead. However, this is nothing new, but the fault as between ADE, FSUIPC and FSX is new. The only things hat have changed recently, software-wise, have been an upgrading of FSUIPC (a few months ago) to 4.929, though now up to 4.934, and an upgrade of ADE which I did to try to correct this fault. Didn't do the trick. I'll run through the whole procedure again, to make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingBee Posted July 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Pete, OK, I've been through the procedure again: Opened FSX, selected an airport, a/c at runway. Slew a little way then slew off. Opened FSUIPC from the menu bar. Select Logging tab. All logging options are off. No changes made on FSUIPC. Check Shift-Z - correct lat and long. Opened ADE, load airport file. It's on auto-connect. The red coordinates say all zeros. Opened ADE Env Checker - all satisfactory, but the FSUIPC section gives coordinates as all zeros, despite being correctly connected. Close Checker and ADE. Close FSX.

A run of FSX with FSUIPC installed, just starting FS, running it for a short time, then closing it, produces a very small log. Only selecting logging options will extend it. Since I've never yet seen you first log (you always click the "New Log" button for some unknown region) I can't tell what you have set -- it is logged in the early parts. For the log to get to 108Kb it would need to contain a minimum of 1300 lines even if all were full to 80 characters each. There is no way a log with no options selected will get that long. Here's a typical log file just loading FSX, running a couple of other programs (which have no effect on the log anyway) and closing FS after five minutes or so. the file itself is just 3kb. 108kb is HUGE.

The only way I could send a small enough file was to start again, and that's what I did. But by "starting again" you mean pressing the New Log button which closes and renames the current log (adding a .1) and starts a new one, without of course all the essential startup information. You say that from what you can see, FSUIPC is working OK. But clearly something is not right. But this is something only the author of the program which is trying to interface to it correctly can deal with. I cannot support all FSUIPC client applications. If you simply want proof that FSUIPC can ad is able to supply data correctly please download the SDK and run FSInterrogate to view the assorted offsets at will. Or run one of my own example utilities such as TrafficLook or WeatherSet2. Your comment about the fps rate is not surprising - it tends to be low, usually when situated at a complex add-on airport and with large amounts of AI overhead. However, this is nothing new, but the fault as between ADE, FSUIPC and FSX is new. I would class frame rates as low as 11 as unflyable. My worst airport is UK2000 Heathrow Extreme, latest version (with the new Terminal 2), with realistic traffic levels, and than can drop to as low as 18. i wouldn't like it lower than that! ;-) Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dowson Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 OK, I've been through the procedure again: I see you figured out how to get a short log after all! ;-) And, yes, everything looks fine. There's nothing there which can cause FSUIPC not to supply the correct data to any program which is asking for it correctly. If it is supplying only zeroes, as I think you said, then I can only think there's a fault in SimConnect, which is the part of FS which supplies the data. All FSUIPC does is map the data into an offset memory area for programs to read. Just to check this aspect (i.e. SimConnect reception), I'm going to ask you to actually add logging now. Load up just FS -- NOT any client program, in case it is that which is somehow clobbering things. Please go into the Logging tab and on the right-hand side enter these offsets and types in the relevant columns: 0560 as type UIF64 0568 as type UIF64 6010 as type FLT64 6018 as type FLT64 Then check the 'normal log' option below. This will first log the current position values. Slew or move the aircraft a ways, so it receives more changes. This will log several for each change of position -- the 0560/0568 values are very precise, the 6010 and 6018 less so. Keep it short but by all means just post an extract if it gets long. The log should show what is being actually returned by SimConnect for the latitude and longitude.

Pete Dowson Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Ah, I've just notice an anomaly from your log, after examining it more closely. I don't think FSUIPC is actually starting. Here's the critical part in the log I showed: 184861 Ready Flags: Ready-To-Fly=N, In Menu=N, In Dlg=N 185438 System time = 02/07/2014 17:51:34, Simulator time = 17:48:39 (16:48Z) 189135 Aircraft="Boeing 737-800 Paint2" 190259 Starting everything now ... This occurs after the flight has fully loaded, some 90 seconds (in my case) after the Flight/AIR file was identified here: 9797 FSUIPC Menu entry added 9906 Ready Flags: Ready-To-Fly=N, In Menu=Y, In Dlg=Y 9921 \\LEFT\FSPLANS\738 EGCC Cold and Dark.FLT 9921 \\LEFT\FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\B737_800\Boeing737-800.AIR In your log the whole sequence ends before getting to the state where everything is ready: 4321 FSUIPC Menu entry added4352 c:\users\b\documents\flight simulator x files\Start-up setting.FLT4352 F:\FSX\SimObjects\Rotorcraft\Bell206B\Bell_206B_JetRanger.AIR147561 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 70 secs = 13.7 fps601898 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 377 secs = 12.5 fps630447 System time = 02/07/2014 17:35:20630447 *** FSUIPC log file being closed The only time I've seen this was in a version of P3Dv1 where the flight being loaded was already in Paused mode. Unpausing it got past the problem. I think this was fixed in a later version of P3Dv1. So, first, can you tell me if the flight you are loaded is paused? Second, can you enable "Extras" logging (one of the Logging options), close FS down, then just run it and close it when it is ready to fly, producing a short log like before? The Extras logging produces those Ready Flags: Ready-To-Fly=N, In Menu=Y, In Dlg=Y lines, giving me the "ready to fly" status. The other thing FSUIPC needs to receive from SimConnect before it starts properly is the Aircraft name. it needs this in case of assignments to profiles and so on. After this, there are some other logging options we can apply to see why it isn't starting. One other thing you can try is changing aircraft, in case for some reason SimConnect can't supply its name.

Pete Dowson Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 I have now followed up your instruction to add in the 'extras', with the following results: 104Kb log file. I've therefore copied and pasted the 'intro', followed by a small portion of the 'Too many requests' listing, and finally the end section. The "too many requests" error is a SimConnect problem I've rarely seen. What's changed since the previous log? Just enabling Extras logging doesn't change that. Have you actually got over 500 AI aircraft loading and running at the start of the program? It looks like simply requesting data on them all is overflowing SimConnect's buffers. I have seen it happen occasionally, but generally it's a symptom of something else going wrong. It might be worth testing with the AI traffic turned off (sliders to zero) to see if it's something there that's stopping things proceeding normally. It will also certainly help a lot with those dreadful frame rates! ;-) The flight was loaded up as a 'free flight', and not paused. The log shows the aircraft name No it doesn't. It identifies the FLT file and the AIR file. the aircraft name is the one from inside the CFG file, and is logged as in the line in the log I pasted: 189135 Aircraft="Boeing 737-800 Paint2" Assuming things aren't (always) getting snarled up in a SimConnect buffer filling loop, it remains a mystery. Here's some other logging I need you to enable now: Before running FS, edit the FSUIPC4.INI file, adding these two lines to the [General] section: Debug=Please TestOptions=x800 This will log more information about what FSUIPC is waiting for before it thinks you are "ready to fly". Oh, the other thing, please now use the exact same build I'm using here, 4,934f download using this link: FSUIPC4934f.zip It isn't that I think this will behave any differently (it has some interim changes for a P3D beta, that's all). It's just that I want the code to match exactly in case I need to dig further. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingBee Posted July 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Pete, I think you may have cracked it, with your suspicions about the sheer quantity of AI traffic. I reduced AI traffic (all types) to zero, re-started, slewed a bit. Started ADE which is now behaving correctly, showing my lat/long and showing the a/c symbol as it should. Closed down, and, the log file being enormous (presumably as a result of the extra logging options which you specified just now, added to the .ini file) I've again selected the initial and final sections of the log file, as well as an interim section that includes the a/c name, to copy. The rest is simply endless positions as I slew around. ********* FSUIPC4, Version 4.934f by Pete Dowson ********* Reading options from "F:\FSX\Modules\FSUIPC4.ini" Running inside FSX on Windows 7 Module base=65580000 User Name="Brian King" User Addr="brianrhking@compuserve.com" FSUIPC4 Key is provided WIDEFS7 not user registered, or expired 62 System time = 03/07/2014 07:25:50 62 FLT path = "C:\Users\B\Documents\Flight Simulator X Files\" 93 Trying to connect to SimConnect Acc/SP2 Oct07 ... 93 FS path = "F:\FSX\" 577 LogOptions=00000800 00000011 577 SIM1 Frictions access gained 577 Wind smoothing fix is fully installed 577 G3D.DLL fix attempt installed ok 577 SimConnect_Open succeeded: waiting to check version okay 577 Trying to use SimConnect Acc/SP2 Oct07 2496 Running in "Microsoft Flight Simulator X", Version: 10.0.61472.0 (SimConnect: 10.0.61259.0) 2496 Initialising SimConnect data requests now 2496 FSUIPC Menu entry added 2527 ## EV_SIM=stop 2527 Ready Flags: Ready-To-Fly=N, In Menu=Y, In Dlg=Y 2527 c:\users\b\documents\flight simulator x files\Start-up setting.FLT 2527 F:\FSX\SimObjects\Rotorcraft\Bell206B\Bell_206B_JetRanger.AIR 2527 ##: ST_SIM=stop 2667 Memory in use: 415Mb, Avail=3681Mb 3073 Monitor IPC:0560 (UIF64) = 0.0000 3073 Monitor IPC:0568 (UIF64) = 0.0000 3073 Monitor IPC:6010 (FLT64) = 0.0000 3073 Monitor IPC:6018 (FLT64) = 0.0000 32588 ##: ST_SIM=stop 35162 ##: ST_SIM=stop 37908 ##: ST_SIM=stop 39140 ## EV_START 39140 Ready Flags: Ready-To-Fly=N, In Menu=N, In Dlg=N 39140 ## EV_SIM=start 39171 Monitor IPC:0560 (UIF64) = 5756697.3212 39171 SimRead: 0560="PLANE LATITUDE" FLT64: 51.8012106786 39171 Monitor IPC:0568 (UIF64) = 4293134758.0228 39171 SimRead: 0568="PLANE LONGITUDE" FLT64: -0.153601558828 39171 Monitor IPC:0568 (UIF64) = 4293134758.0232 39171 SimRead: 0568="PLANE LONGITUDE" FLT64: -0.153601558801 39203 Monitor IPC:6010 (FLT64) = 52.4524 39203 SimRead: 6010="GPS POSITION LAT" FLT64: 52.4523611111 39203 Monitor IPC:6018 (FLT64) = -1.7373 39203 SimRead: 6018="GPS POSITION LON" FLT64: -1.73730555556 39203 Monitor IPC:0568 (UIF64) = 4293134758.0235 39203 SimRead: 0568="PLANE LONGITUDE" FLT64: -0.153601558768 39203 Monitor IPC:0568 (UIF64) = 4293134758.0240 then..... 39437 SimRead: 0568="PLANE LONGITUDE" FLT64: -0.153601558313 39468 Monitor IPC:0568 (UIF64) = 4293134758.0294 39468 SimRead: 0568="PLANE LONGITUDE" FLT64: -0.153601558277 39468 Monitor IPC:0560 (UIF64) = 5756697.3211 39468 SimRead: 0560="PLANE LATITUDE" FLT64: 51.8012106785 39468 Monitor IPC:0568 (UIF64) = 4293134758.0298 39468 SimRead: 0568="PLANE LONGITUDE" FLT64: -0.153601558241 39499 ## WHYSTART: SOON: (0366=Y || (0264=N && 3365=Y)) && (3D00=N || (0580=Y && 0264=Y)) 39499 ## ... and no class #32770 window! 39499 System time = 03/07/2014 07:26:29, Simulator time = 07:25:53 (06:25Z) 39499 Aircraft="Bell 206B JetRanger Paint1" 39499 Monitor IPC:0568 (UIF64) = 4293134758.0304 39499 SimRead: 0568="PLANE LONGITUDE" FLT64: -0.153601558196 39499 Monitor IPC:0568 (UIF64) = 4293134758.0309 39499 SimRead: 0568="PLANE LONGITUDE" FLT64: -0.15360155815 39530 Monitor IPC:6010 (FLT64) = 51.8012 39530 SimRead: 6010="GPS POSITION LAT" FLT64: 51.8012106785 39530 Monitor IPC:6018 (FLT64) = -0.1536 39530 SimRead: 6018="GPS POSITION LON" FLT64: -0.153601558241 39530 Monitor IPC:0568 (UIF64) = 4293134758.0313 39530 SimRead: 0568="PLANE LONGITUDE" FLT64: -0.153601558116 39546 Monitor IPC:0568 (UIF64) = 4293134758.0317 39546 SimRead: 0568="PLANE LONGITUDE" FLT64: -0.153601558083 39577 Monitor IPC:0568 (UIF64) = 4293134758.0321 and so on....... 100105 Monitor IPC:0568 (UIF64) = 4293150750.7807 100105 SimRead: 0568="PLANE LONGITUDE" FLT64: -0.152261061346 100137 Monitor IPC:0568 (UIF64) = 4293150750.7795 100137 SimRead: 0568="PLANE LONGITUDE" FLT64: -0.152261061449 100168 Monitor IPC:0568 (UIF64) = 4293150750.7783 100168 SimRead: 0568="PLANE LONGITUDE" FLT64: -0.152261061554 100183 Monitor IPC:0568 (UIF64) = 4293150750.7771 100183 SimRead: 0568="PLANE LONGITUDE" FLT64: -0.15226106165 100355 Ready Flags: Ready-To-Fly=Y, In Menu=Y, In Dlg=Y 100355 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 61 secs = 34.6 fps 100355 Average weather filter write interval in that time = 939.1 msecs 105955 System time = 03/07/2014 07:27:36, Simulator time = 07:27:29 (06:27Z) 105955 *** FSUIPC log file being closed Average frame rate for running time of 61 secs = 34.6 fps Average weather filter write interval in that time = 939.1 msecs G3D fix: Passes 17409, Null pointers 0, Bad pointers 0, Separate instances 0 Memory managed: 81 Allocs, 81 Freed ********* FSUIPC Log file closed *********** If this all looks OK, I will now have to consider what to do about the AI!

The rest is simply endless positions as I slew around. Right. But I'd still like to understand why so much traffic makes things stall. I don't know what SimConnect's limit on numbers of pending data requests is, but evidently it was being exceeded, and one of the results was that it never accepted requests for certain vital items of data which FSUIPC waits for before starting everything properly. One way I might tackle it, if i can and once I know more, would be to ration the requests for data on AI traffic. However, if I never ask for data on more than, say, 250 aircraft, I may not get to those which are in range, so not then populating my traffic tables correctly for the nearest ones on ground and in the air. Another possibility is to avoid any AI traffic scanning until AFTER the initialisation stage is well completed. It does order things in that way, but it looks like there's insufficient gap. I might incorporate a multi-second delay after starting everything up before asking for anything to do with AI. Odd that FSX has been going now for 9 years or more and this hasn't cropped up as a problem before. What AI traffc are you using? Looks like you are in or near London, so do you have lots of traffic for all the London area airports? Just so I can be sure of exactly what is happening, before deciding what to do, could you please do one more test. Remove all of the monitoring offsets (easiest way is to delete the [Monitor] section in the FSUIPC4.INI before running FS). Re-enable all your traffic, as before, in order to induce the problem, then show me the log, at least as far as when is appears to fail to provide your Lat/Lon. The "TestOption" logging you added will tell me what data FSUIPC is waiting for. If this all looks OK, I will now have to consider what to do about the AI! I don't see the "## Starting everything now ..." line -- maybe it's in the part of the log you omitted? If so, then it's all okay. Looks as if I've overdone it! Yes. In my opinion you made it unflyable too -- but maybe you just want to sit and watch AI instead? ;-). Look at your average frame rate without all that traffic: 100355 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 61 secs = 34.6 fps However, I don't like anything stopping FSUIPC working correctly like that, so I'll need to consider what to do about it also. When I do decide, I'd be grateful if you could then again overload FSX so you can test the changes for me! Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingBee Posted July 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Pete, I can well appreciate that it would be unsatisfactory to leave it at that - and I'm happy to try this and that to see if we can get to the bottom of the issue. As you suggested, I've deleted the [monitor] section and tried several scenarios. Setting Commercial AI to 100% is OK. Adding in GA AI is OK, as it is if I add in the ships and the freeway traffic. It's when I add in airport traffic at full density that it 'fails' - as indicated by the failure of ADEX to show the correct lat/long. So it seems to be a fairly critical amount of traffic that causes the problem. I'll go back in a bit and try the airport traffic on its own. Meanwhile, here's the log with all the AI at full density - again, just showing you the relevant parts of the log: ********* FSUIPC4, Version 4.934f by Pete Dowson ********* Reading options from "F:\FSX\Modules\FSUIPC4.ini" Running inside FSX on Windows 7 Module base=64F60000 User Name="Brian King" User Addr="brianrhking@compuserve.com" FSUIPC4 Key is provided WIDEFS7 not user registered, or expired 32 System time = 03/07/2014 16:19:43 32 FLT path = "C:\Users\B\Documents\Flight Simulator X Files\" 63 Trying to connect to SimConnect Acc/SP2 Oct07 ... 63 FS path = "F:\FSX\" 546 LogOptions=00000800 00000011 546 SIM1 Frictions access gained 546 Wind smoothing fix is fully installed 546 G3D.DLL fix attempt installed ok 546 SimConnect_Open succeeded: waiting to check version okay 546 Trying to use SimConnect Acc/SP2 Oct07 4322 Running in "Microsoft Flight Simulator X", Version: 10.0.61472.0 (SimConnect: 10.0.61259.0) 4322 Initialising SimConnect data requests now 4322 FSUIPC Menu entry added 4353 ## EV_SIM=stop 4353 Ready Flags: Ready-To-Fly=N, In Menu=Y, In Dlg=Y 4353 c:\users\b\documents\flight simulator x files\Start-up setting.FLT 4353 F:\FSX\SimObjects\Rotorcraft\Bell206B\Bell_206B_JetRanger.AIR 4353 ##: ST_SIM=stop 4509 Memory in use: 432Mb, Avail=3664Mb 34367 ##: ST_SIM=stop 36926 ##: ST_SIM=stop 39484 ##: ST_SIM=stop 42043 ##: ST_SIM=stop 44601 ##: ST_SIM=stop 47159 ##: ST_SIM=stop 49718 ##: ST_SIM=stop 52276 ##: ST_SIM=stop 54835 ##: ST_SIM=stop 57393 ##: ST_SIM=stop 59078 Weather Mode now = Theme 59078 C:\Users\B\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\Previous flight.FLT 59109 Exception 12 "TOO_MANY_REQUESTS", Ref 3338, Index param -1 on RequestDataOnSimObject for AI Aircraft id=4459 [0x0116B] 59109 Exception 12 "TOO_MANY_REQUESTS", Ref 3340, Index param -1 on RequestDataOnSimObject for AI Aircraft id=4462 [0x0116E] 59109 Exception 12 "TOO_MANY_REQUESTS", Ref 3342, Index param -1 on RequestDataOnSimObject for AI Aircraft id=4465 [0x01171] 59109 Exception 12 "TOO_MANY_REQUESTS", Ref 3344, Index param -1 on RequestDataOnSimObject for AI Aircraft id=4468 [0x01174] 59109 Exception 12 "TOO_MANY_REQUESTS", Ref 3346, Index param -1 on RequestDataOnSimObject for AI Aircraft id=4471 [0x01177] and so on.....

There is certainly a high density of traffic over UK - all flights of all the significant airlines is included, but worldwide. Yes, it would be excellent if FSX (or FSUIPC) could ignore and not try to initialise traffic from beyond a certain range - providing it can then initialise stuff 'on-the-fly' as you pass into an area previously 'uninitialised', while on a long-haul flight. As far as ADEX is concerned, I can obviously just turn down the AI density while doing editing work. But it's the hit on the frame rates that is problematic. My AI has grown slowly over the years so I've probably not noticed the slow deterioration in fps. I use a lot of Gary Summons' excellent scenery, which must affect somewhat the fps, though probably less so these days than in the past, such are his clever techniques. Anyway, let me know what further tests you would like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dowson Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 As you suggested, I've deleted the [monitor] section and tried several scenarios. Setting Commercial AI to 100% is OK.

So it seems to be a fairly critical amount of traffic that causes the problem. I'll go back in a bit and try the airport traffic on its own The airport traffic is filtered out in FSUIPC, and is only read (to see if it needs to delete duplicates for AES/GSX) if the parameter "DeleteVehiclesForAES" is set to "No", the ground vehicles shouldn't matter. Perhaps you could check? Yes, it would be excellent if FSX (or FSUIPC) could ignore and not try to initialise traffic from beyond a certain range FSX only generates traffic within its "reality bubble", which I think is 80nm around the user aircraft. FSUIPC ignores all but the nearest 96 on ground and 96 in the air -- that's a limitation of the offset tables it maintains. However, in order to determine which of the aircraft are the nearest it has to read all of them, and compute their distance according to yours and their latitude/longitude. I could limit the range for the data being supplied by SimConnect to less than the "reality bubble" size, but one of the main uses of the tables is for TCAS, and that can be up to 80 nm I think. I'll check further on that. (My range is 200 km, based on the bubble size). It would be nice if I could restrict the range for ground aircraft separately, but it isn't an identifiable group -- of course they change status in any case. As it is I am checking aircraft parked at airports up to 80 nm away just to see if they are withing the nearest 96. I use a lot of Gary Summons' excellent scenery, which must affect somewhat the fps, though probably less so these days than in the past, such are his clever techniques. I have them all, and what makes them heavy on performance is mostly AI traffic. The latest verston of EGLL Extreme, with the Terminal 2 open, was a HUGE performance killer on my PC and I had to turn the traffic down quite a bit. It's just the sheer number of gates -- more gates, more aircraft. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
