WideClient not transmitting keystrokes to local FSX on networked Client running on Windows 10


Recommended Posts

Dear Pete,

I currently use FSUIPC 4.974b and WideFS/WideClient 7.148, and the setup and method described in this thread has worked flawlessly on my System, with Clients running FSX on both Win7 x64 and Win 8.1 x64. However, yesterday I added a new Client running FSX on Win 10 x64. This time I found the keystrokes were not being transmitted to the local FSX window, and the WideClient.log showed this:

********* WideClient Log [version 7.148] Class=FS98MAIN01 *********

KeySend6=40,8,FS98MAIN

And here, for reference, is a WideClient.log from a Client running FSX-Win 7 x64 which successfully intercepted and responded to the keystrokes:

********* WideClient Log [version 7.148] Class=FS98MAIN01 *********
Date (dmy): 10/09/18, Time 19:43:50.431: Client name is SILVERZERO

      140 ... Okay, IP Address = 169.254.152.178
      140 Connection made okay!

It seems that on a Client running Windows 10, WideClient cannot transmit the required keystroke to the local FSX window. I wonder if you could help me solve this problem.

Thanks and Regards,

Chakko.

Dear Pete,

I refer you to the thread at:

https://forum.simflight.com/topic/81979-wideview-fsx-network-panning-using-fsuipc4-and-widefs/

in which I have discussed using FSUIPC+WideFS/WIdeClient to transmit panning/tilting view-commands from a hat-switch on my WidevieW Server to my WidevieW Clients running FSX on Windows 7 and also Windows 8.1:

Summary of Process: When a panning-command (via a Hat-Switch button) is applied at the SERVER, FSUIPC-WideServer sends a KeySend number to all networked Clients. At each CLIENT, WideClient-FSUIPC receives the KeySend number and acts on it to pan the view locally. Certain options in the wideviewx.ini file at the CLIENTs and SERVER need to be set to ensure that it does not interfere. A new Camera Definition is also installed on the CLIENT(s) to keep this option separate.

The method has worked flawlessly with Clients running FSX on Windows 7 and even Windows 8.1. However, yesterday I installed a new Client running FSX on Windows 10, and found that the keystrokes were not being transmitted by WideClient to the local FSX window. More details with the corresponding WideClient.ini and .log files are appended to the same thread:

https://forum.simflight.com/topic/81979-wideview-fsx-network-panning-using-fsuipc4-and-widefs/

where I thought it might be more convenient to continue the investigation.

Thanks and Regards,

Chakko.

I do not conduct support in the reference subforums. It is not appropriate there. If the problem has a solution which is different to the details posted in User Contributions then by all means append it there. Meanwhile I have moved your post here.

Two things, please:

1. Seems like you have Windows Defender set to stop some functions. I think Win10 has much fiercer "protections" to stop you doing (silly) things with your PC. Try running WideClient "as administrator" (though I found other reports on the Web about SetWindowsHookEx not working even then on Win10).

2. More logging would be useful.  Try "Log=KeySend" in the [User] section.

Is that the complete WideClient.INI file? Currently I don't really understand why it is setting hooks for simpe KeySend operations to send key presses. The code is rather ancient now (WideClient actually dates back to FS98 and the original widevieW, on which it once "piggy-backed". That's why I need the extra logging to see why it is going where it is.

Dear Pete,

Thank you for having a look at this.

(1) I ran WideClient as administrator, and

(2) I included Log=KeySend in the [User] Section

but the problem persists:

I had a look at my WIndows Defender settings: Firewalls are all off, and no Antivirus is active.

And, yes, the WideClient.ini I attached to my earlier post was the complete file.

Thanks and Regards,

Chakko.

Okay. I cannot find why Win10 objects to the use of SetWindowsHookEx. It is used for the default method of implementing KeySend, whether you give a classname or Window name, or not.

However it is not used if you select either of the following options:

PostKeys=Yes

or 

UseSendInput=Yes

So please try each of these, separately, and let me know which if any works okay for you.

Dear Pete,

Thank you again for your help with this. The panning/tilting-view feature across my networked scenery-Clients is something I would not like to forgo.

(1) PostKeys=Yes (within the [User] section, right?) DID WORK, but, only for the first 3 or 4 button presses. Then it stopped working entirely, and only restarting the Sim got it working again (but as before, only for the first few button presses). The WideClient.log from that session (in case you find it useful) is here:

PostKeys=Yes (within the [User] section, right?) DID WORK, but, only for the first 3 or 4 button presses. Then it stopped working entirely, and only restarting the Sim got it working again (but as before, only for the first few button presses). The WideClient.log from that session (in case you find it useful) is here:

Well, that's strange, because the log shows it working throughout: the Press and Release of the keys is the same all the way through, and all to the same window.

So, where are the keypresses going? What is changing after a few uses? Do the keypresses still work on the keyboard itself?

That still uses SetWindowsHookEx, so it is effectively the same problem as the original one.

I don't know what to suggest. The PostKeys method is simple -- that's just what it does, posts the keypress and then release (about 15 mSecs later) to the specified programs named window (by class "FS98MAIN"). The fact that it does that every time, and that it did work for a few times, indicate that it working. so what is changing on the target (the sim) to stop that?

Do you have FSUIPC installed on that PC? If not, install it, if so, enable Key/Button logging in its Logging menu and we'll see if the keypresses are actually registered in the Sim. If they are then somehow it is FSX which is suddenly ignoring them.

Dear Pete,

I have FSUIPC4 installed on all my Client PC's, so I enabled Key/Button logging, and here are the logs:

As before, only the first 3 or 4 keypresses were actually received/responded to by FSX (I do note that the log shows that the keypresses continue to be passed on to FSX, though.)

When FSX stopped responding, I began applying the keypresses directly from the keyboard, and FSX did respond normally to these. And when I thereafter reverted to sending the keypresses via WideClient, I once again got a response for the first 2 or 3 keypresses only. But I was able to renew its responsiveness to the WideClient-origin-keypresses (for a couple of keypresses at a time only) by reverting to using the keyboard directly. I was able to repeat this procedure several times.

Thanks and Regards,

Chakko.

I don't understand what changes. Certainly Wideclient doesn't change after two or three. it is doing exactly what it should be doing. I can't see any way to improve that.

The FSUIPC log shows that FSX is receiving the KEYDOWNs but it isn't logging the KEYUPs. 

Could you enable event logging in its FSUIPC Logging tab so we can see what FS is making of them?  It might also be worth assigning the keys to the normal controls they invoke, but in FSUIPC instead of relying on the FS assignments. This is more efficient and might avoid losing the KEYUPs.

The only other thing I can think of is the KEYDOWN to KEYUP timing, which looks to be about 15 mSecs mostly. Maybe I'll try adjusting that, upwards. I don't see your manual keypresses in the log above. does it not include them?

I will also try to gather more information about the failure of the SetWindowsHokkEx call, as really that is the original puzzle. I shoud be able to do that here easily ejnough.

I'll try to get back with a revised WideClient.exe later today.

Please try WideClient 7.15: download WideClient715.zip

I'd like to see Client and FSUIPC logs for the PostKeys method,  I have lengthened the delay between KEYDOWN abd KEYUP substantially.

Please also test without PostKeys set.  It won't work -- I cannot work out why SetWindowsHookEx doesn't work. but thids version logs the error number, so I'd like to see the wideClient log, please. I'm going to try to reproduce this here as well.

Hi Pete,

With WideClient 7.15 (Postkeys=Yes and Log = KeySend) and FSUIPC4.974b (with button/key and event logging enabled), I applied around 10 key-presses via WideClient (only the first few elicited a response, and then FSX stopped responding, as before), then around 10 key-presses from the Keyboard (surprisingly, this time the response was sporadic, not all keypresses yielding a response) and then again around 10 via WideClient (only responsive on the first few, as before):

Well, the KEYUPs are being sent now with a large enough interval between, and still very few of them seen by FSUIPC for its log. very strange.

Looking at the FSUIPC log above, can you identify where the interval would be in which you were still sending the keypresses but getting no response from FS? To me ther gaps in time are 9 seconds or so 6 minutes into the sim session, here:

   361000 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 65608 (0x00010048), Param= 0 (0x00000000) ELEV_DOWN
   370625 KEYDOWN: VK=37, Waiting=0, Repeat=N, Shifts=0

and 6 seconds about 20 seconds later, here:

   392890 *** EVENT: Cntrl= 65607 (0x00010047), Param= 0 (0x00000000) ELEV_TRIM_DN
   398640 KEYDOWN: VK=37, Waiting=0, Repeat=N, Shifts=0

Does that seem correct?

Please, don't forget, also, to try assigning the keypresses in FSUIPC instead of relying on the default assignments.

Dear Pete,

I thank you very very much for going into the details of my situation and spending so much of your time to help me. Some personal commitments away from the sim will prevent me from spending much time with it over the next few days, so please forgive me for my slowness in testing the new version of WideClient that you have created solely to help me solve my problem.......but I will get back to you as soon as I possibly can.

Thank you for all that you do for me/us.

Chakko

Dear Pete,

As a matter of fact, I am using neither the default FSX assignments nor the FSUIPC assignments for view-panning. As recounted in the original thread at: https://forum.simflight.com/topic/81979-wideview-fsx-network-panning-using-fsuipc4-and-widefs/ we did try those out initially, but found that as the Panning command is a time-based command, it resulted in view-mismatches across the 7 networked Clients I have on my system. So we switched to using the SimConnect_CameraSetRelative6DOF  function instead, actioned by a LUA entitled networkrotation at the Client FSUIPC. This  networkrotation.lua  uses event.key() to intercept key-presses sent by the local WideClient.

I now realize that in a later post in the thread I had described the modified process, and should have reproduced that here for your reference:

Summary of Process: When a panning-command (via Hat-Switch button) is applied at the SERVER, FSUIPC-WideServer sends a KeySend number to all networked Clients. At each CLIENT, WideClient receives the KeySend number and sends a key-press to FSX-FSUIPC. An auto-started LUA script intercepts this key-press and rotates the view appropriately using the SimConnect_CameraSetRelative6DOF function. Certain options in the wideviewx.ini file at the CLIENTs and SERVER need to be set to ensure that it does not interfere. A new Camera Definition is also installed on the CLIENT(s) to keep this option separate.

So, at each WideClient:

[User]
KeySend2=39,8,FS98MAIN
KeySend3=37,8,FS98MAIN
KeySend4=36,8,FS98MAIN
KeySend5=38,8,FS98MAIN
KeySend6=40,8,FS98MAIN

and from there to this LUA auto-started by the local FSUIPC4:

-- initial values
lX = 0.0
lY = 0.0
lZ = 0.0
lPitch = 0.0
lBank = 0.0
lHeading = 0.0

-- increments
delHdg = 11.25
delPitch = 5


-- camera rotations
function rotate_right ()
	lHeading = lHeading + delHdg
	if lHeading >= 180 then
		lHeading = lHeading - 360
	end
	set_eyepoint ()
end

function rotate_left ()
	lHeading = lHeading - delHdg
	if lHeading <= -180 then
		lHeading = lHeading + 360
	end
	set_eyepoint ()
end

function rotate_up ()
	lPitch = lPitch + delPitch
	if lPitch > 90 then
		lPitch = 90
	end
	set_eyepoint ()
end

function rotate_down ()
	lPitch = lPitch - delPitch
	if lPitch < -90 then
		lPitch = -90
	end
	set_eyepoint ()
end

function rotate_reset ()
	lPitch = 0.0
	lHeading = 0.0
	set_eyepoint ()
end

-- set the eyepoint
function set_eyepoint ()
	ipc.writeStruct( 0x86A0 , "6FLT" , lX , lY , lZ , lPitch , lBank , lHeading ) -- X, Y, Z, P, B, H
end


event.key ( 39, 8, "rotate_right")
event.key ( 37, 8, "rotate_left")
event.key ( 40, 8, "rotate_down")
event.key ( 38, 8, "rotate_up")
event.key ( 36, 8, "rotate_reset")

The LUA has worked very reliably, and apart from the uniform rotation across the network views it actions, it also allows me to set the angular increments to my liking. It is only now with the issues that Win 10 has with SetWindowsHookEx that I am having a problem.

..........................

But, in order to test your suggestion, I went back to using the FSUIPC assignments thus:

[Keys]
12=39,8,65672,0     -{Right: Press=PAN_RIGHT }-
13=37,8,65671,0     -{Left: Press=PAN_LEFT }-
14=36,8,65875,0     -{Home: Press=PAN_RESET }-
15=38,8,65735,0     -{Up: Press=PAN_DOWN }-
16=40,8,65734,0     -{Down: Press=PAN_UP }-

along with PostKeys=Yes in WideClient, and YES, IT WORKED to produce reliable panning responses with both 7.15 and 7.148 versions!

If you would like, I can forward you the corresponding logs in a subsequent post.

However, unfortunately, I don't think this is the best solution for me, because the Pan commands are not synchronised with the LUA rotations that are occurring at my other Client views.

I am wondering if there is a way of modifying the current LUA so that it will be reliably responsive to key-presses sent via the PostKeys=Yes method, as the FSUIPC assignments are.....do you think that would that solve my problem?

Regards,

Chakko.

Hi Pete,

I seem to have found a workaround or a temporary solution to the problem I am facing.

Realizing that the essential problem in my setup is that Postkeys=Yes allows WideFS to communicate stably and consistently with FSX/FSUIPC through the medium of FSUIPC Controls, rather than KeyPresses, I surmised that the reason that my networkrotation.LUA was not working consistently in intercepting and acting on the KeyPresses must be that event.key() suffers from some inability to trap the WideClient-sent Keypresses consistently in a Win 10 environment. So I tried event.control() instead, thus:

Extract from WideClient.ini [7.148]:

[User]
PostKeys=Yes
KeySend1=RunKey1
KeySend2=39,8,FS98MAIN
KeySend3=37,8,FS98MAIN
KeySend4=36,8,FS98MAIN
KeySend5=38,8,FS98MAIN
KeySend6=40,8,FS98MAIN

Extract from FSUIPC.ini at Client:

[Auto]
1=Lua networkrotation

[LuaFiles]
1=networkrotation

[Keys]
12=39,8,65672,0 	-{Right: Press=PAN_RIGHT }-
13=37,8,65671,0 	-{Left: Press=PAN_LEFT }-
14=36,8,65875,0 	-{Home: Press=PAN_RESET }-
15=38,8,65735,0 	-{Up: Press=PAN_DOWN }-
16=40,8,65734,0 	-{Down: Press=PAN_UP }-

[Programs]
Run1=CLOSE,C:\FS Files\WideClient7148\WideClient.exe

Event section from networkrotation.lua (other parts unchanged):

event.control ( 65672, "rotate_right")
event.control ( 65671, "rotate_left")
event.control ( 65734, "rotate_down")
event.control ( 65735, "rotate_up")
event.control ( 65875, "rotate_reset")

The solution is clumsy in that the FSUIPC PANning control is being intercepted and 'reinterpreted' by the LUA, and there appears to be a slight lag at the Client as a result, but at least it is synchronised with the other 6 views generated by my other Clients (not running Windows 10).

I look forward to your comments.

Thanks and Regards,

Chakko.

An auto-started LUA script intercepts this key-press and rotates the view appropriately using the SimConnect_CameraSetRelative6DOF function. Certain options in the wideviewx.ini file at the CLIENTs and SERVER need to be set to ensure that it does not interfere. A new Camera Definition is also installed on the CLIENT(s) to keep this option separate.

Ah, sorry. Much more complicated than I thought.

The solution is clumsy in that the FSUIPC PANning control is being intercepted and 'reinterpreted' by the LUA, and there appears to be a slight lag at the Client as a result, but at least it is synchronised with the other 6 views generated by my other Clients (not running Windows 10).

It looks neater to me than using keypress interception, though. The questions arising are: does itnow work? and is it more or less laggy than the keypress interception?

There is another possible solution which may be more efficiet as it will bypass FS's involvement right up to the point you use the SimConnect facility.

Instead of assigning to FS controls, assign to FSUIPC Offset controls. Offsets 66C0-66FF are free for users to do with as they please. You can then use event.offset to catch changes.

I tried this out too......

Extract from WideClient.ini [7.148]:

[User]
PostKeys=Yes
KeySend1=RunKey1
KeySend2=39,8,FS98MAIN
KeySend3=37,8,FS98MAIN
KeySend4=36,8,FS98MAIN
KeySend5=38,8,FS98MAIN
KeySend6=40,8,FS98MAIN

Extract from FSUIPC.ini at Client:

[Auto]
1=Lua networkrotation

[LuaFiles]
1=networkrotation

[Keys]
12=39,8,x010066C0,x01 	-{Right: Press=offset byte set, offset 66C0 }-
13=37,8,x010066C1,x01 	-{Left: Press=offset byte set, offset 66C1 }-
14=36,8,x010066C4,x01 	-{Home: Press=offset byte set, offset 66C4 }-
15=38,8,x010066C3,x01 	-{Up: Press=offset byte set, offset 66C3 }-
16=40,8,x010066C2,x01 	-{Down: Press=offset byte set, offset 66C2 }-

networkrotation.lua had to be modified to make use of the free FSUIPC user offsets at 0x66C0 - 4.

-- initial values
lX = 0.0
lY = 0.0
lZ = 0.0
lPitch = 0.0
lBank = 0.0
lHeading = 0.0

-- increments
delHdg = 11.25
delPitch = 1


-- camera rotations
function rotate_right (offset, value)
	if value == 1 then
	lHeading = lHeading + delHdg
	if lHeading >= 180 then
		lHeading = lHeading - 360
	end
	set_eyepoint ()
	ipc.writeUB (0x66C0, 0)
	end
end

function rotate_left (offset, value)
	if value == 1 then
	lHeading = lHeading - delHdg
	if lHeading <= -180 then
		lHeading = lHeading + 360
	end
	set_eyepoint ()
	ipc.writeUB (0x66C1, 0)
	end
end


function rotate_down (offset, value)
	if value == 1 then
	lPitch = lPitch - delPitch
	if lPitch < -90 then
		lPitch = -90
	end
	set_eyepoint ()
	ipc.writeUB (0x66C2, 0)
	end
end

function rotate_up (offset, value)
	if value == 1 then
	lPitch = lPitch + delPitch
	if lPitch > 90 then
		lPitch = 90
	end
	set_eyepoint ()
	ipc.writeUB (0x66C3, 0)
	end
end


function rotate_reset (offset, value)
	if value == 1 then
	lPitch = 0.0
	lHeading = 0.0
	set_eyepoint ()
	ipc.writeUB (0x66C4, 0)
	end
end

-- set the eyepoint
function set_eyepoint ()
	ipc.writeStruct( 0x86A0 , "6FLT" , lX , lY , lZ , lPitch , lBank , lHeading ) -- X, Y, Z, P, B, H
end


event.offset ( 0x66C0, "UB", "rotate_right")
event.offset ( 0x66C1, "UB", "rotate_left")
event.offset ( 0x66C2, "UB", "rotate_down")
event.offset ( 0x66C3, "UB", "rotate_up")
event.offset ( 0x66C4, "UB", "rotate_reset")

The result is marginally better than the earlier one, in that the lagginess appears to have decreased slightly, though it is still there. But of course, the lagginess might have other causes, stemming from the Windows 10 environment, rather than have anything to do with the FSUIPC-WideFS-Lua method.

Whatever it is, I am happy to have got it working on Windows 10.

Thank you, as always, Pete, for your outstanding program and the help and support you give us.

Regards,

Chakko.
