elsmoko Posted May 8, 2015 Report Posted May 8, 2015 Hi Pete, RCV4 and VAFS5 stop communicating with FSX (server PC) midway along the route (PHNL-MHTG). This has happened 3 flights in a row (same route). On the third flight attempt, I shut down RCV4. Then I shut down and restarted Wide Client, and VAFS5 started responding and it continued to function properly until the successful conclusion of the flight. What might be causing Wide Client to suddenly stop functioning? The malfunction does not occur at the same point along the route. I have just reinstalled the WideClient.exe file on my client laptop, and have reinstalled the FSUIPC.dll file on the FSX (server) PC. FYI, I also have ASNext installed on the laptop. As you likely know, ASN connect to the server via Simconnect and appears to be unaffected by whatever is interrupting Wide Client. My setup >> Win7-64 FSX Acceleration the aircraft = PMDG B777-200LR FSUIPC version = 4939k Wide FS version = 6999n Thank you, Ken Boardman

What might be causing Wide Client to suddenly stop functioning? The malfunction does not occur at the same point along the route. I'd need to see the WideClient and FSUIPC4 log files from the server and the Wideclient log file from the client. That's what logs are for, to show what might be going on. You can paste them into a message here. Use the <> button above the edit area to enclose them neatly. FSUIPC version = 4939k The current version is 4.939n. Please update first. Pete
elsmoko Posted May 8, 2015 Author Report Posted May 8, 2015 Thank you Pete. I have downloaded / installed FSUIPC Version 4.939n. I'll follow up here after I've re-flown the route. Best regards, Ken
elsmoko Posted May 10, 2015 Author Report Posted May 10, 2015 Hi Pete, I completed two successful flights > KSFO-KDEN and MHTG-PHNL. Then retried the PHNL-MHTG route and had the same problem as earlier. I'm getting prepared to (re)start the problematic PHNL-MHTG route again, and this time with a new (different) flight plan. The logs from tonight's failed flight are below.

Pete Dowson Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 Hi Pete, I completed two successful flights > KSFO-KDEN and MHTG-PHNL. Then retried the PHNL-MHTG route and had the same problem as earlier. I'm getting prepared to (re)start the problematic PHNL-MHTG route again, and this time with a new (different) flight plan. The logs from tonight's failed flight are below. Well, you omitted to show the WideServer log file, but I don't think it will show a problem either -- neither of the logs show anything wrong, if fact they show a perfect session. However, the two logs you do show are for different times and days, Date (dmy): 10/05/15, Time 01:11:16.158: Client name is KENS_LAPTOP1 compared to 187 System time = 09/05/2015 22:57:47 and in any case the FSX session continued for some 7100 seconds after RCV4 started, but you closed the Client after only 180 seconds or so! You need to show logs relating to the same session, the one where you get the problem. Are you seeing "waiting for connection" in the WideClient tite bar when you think you are losing connection? Pete
elsmoko Posted May 10, 2015 Author Report Posted May 10, 2015 Hi Pete, The Wide Client title bar always showed "Connected" even during the times when RCV4 and VAFS5 lost communication with FSX. The degraded flights could be continued, but without RCV4. I discovered during the second degraded flight that by forcing Wide Client to close, and then restarting it that VAFS5 would pick up exactly where it needed to and nothing was lost and the flight continued to successful completion (without RCV4). Seems perhaps my original flight plan file may have become faulty somehow. It was a Great Circle route using numerous Lat / Lon waypoints. The new route that I created was much more on the Jetways with conventional fixes and just a few custom waypoints. At this point I'm thinking I should apologize for bugging you with this. It would be nice to know what happened to cause the issue > perhaps FSX, RCV4, and or VAFS just choked on the original flight plan. I had used the original FP successfully one time about a week earlier which is one thing making me "scratch my head". Some digital strangeness perhaps........ Today I successfully completed the PHNL-MHTG flight using the new flight plan (jetways routing / waypoints). Thank you for your help with this; and for the awesome Flight Sim utilities which I have thoroughly enjoyed using for many years. Best regards, Ken
