Hi Pete

I'm triying to obtimize my network settings on my simulator. In particular I have problems with my PM MCP, I'm after a few minutes of flying after I change the speed, altitude, etc I get no response an the numbers do not change or they go back to the way they where.

Can you please help me. these are my ini an log files

Sounds like the MCP program is hung or going wrong. Why are you blaming your network? Have you checked with Project Magenta support. I'm sure they'd be able to help a lot more than I. They certainly help me a lot!

Please leave most things to default, unless you really know they are beneficial. For instance, delete:

Timeout=0

in the Clients, and

autoupdatetime=13

Restarttime=100

MaximumBlock=5096

in the Server.

641375 Note: Send() request depth is over 100!

649703 send() failed [0 bytes] after 40 retries, request depth is 478

This isn't terribly good -- you are getting some sort of blockage from the Client to the Server. However, if it doesn't occur too often then it shouldn't be a big problem -- it recovered, so all you should see is a temporary stutter, or a few.

In the Server:

764953 Client socket disconnected at Client: removing (skt=2168)

765000 Incoming connection Accepted ok (skt=2160)

765016 Connected to computer "EICAS" (skt=2160)

you can clearly see that the reconnection only took a matter of milliseconds. There would be a short period of sluggishness whilst the data is refreshed, but nothing major.

If you are getting these blockages often I would say you need to check your network -- try swapping the interface cards, or even cables. I think it was our Mr. Schiratti himself who had such problems and eventually replaced the cables nd all was well. Amazing.

But the logs you show don't really explain the problem you describe, only a passing problem. That is something else. The logs might imply one set of stutters, that's all, possibly a lost input but even that should recover..

Regards,

Pete

Well Pete....

Your replay made me think about cables, RJ45 and NETWORK CARDS...

my PM MCP was the only computer running on a 3COM NIC’s, I thought I had change all those cards. I found these cards to be quite BAD for networking computers for FS. Now I have much cleaner log files, now it is time to do more experimenting on it.

Hopefully this will fix my shutters and pauses…

Thank you very much
