MSFS 2024 with FSUIPCWebSocketServer (1.1.2)

[Robs113]

Hi Paul,

I have used your WebSocketServer to provide FSUIPC data to my C# app for a few years now. Its great.

With MSFS2020 + FSUIPC7 (5.1b) the FSUIPCWebSocketServer (1.1.2) gives me live data from MSFS

With MSFS2024 + FSUIPC7 (5.1b) the FSUIPCWebSocketServer (1.1.2) I get...

"MSFS Variable Services are only available when using FSUIPC7 with MSFS
You can still read and write LVars using the vars request,
but this will be done via the legacy LVar access at offset 0x0D70"

FSUIPC WASM is showing the LVars.

Have I setup something incorrectly, or am I trying to do something not (yet?) supported?

Thanks,
Rob

Hi Rob,

Looks like I need to update it to recognise MSFS2024. I'll get a new version out tomorrow.

Paul

[Robs113]

That would be wonderful 😃

Hi Rob,

I've attached the new version. I can't test it here as I don't have MSFS2024 but I'm pretty sure it'll work.

No other changes - just the Variable Services should recognise and connect to 2024 now like it does for 2020.

Could you let me know if it works and I'll release it on the website.

Thanks,

Paul

Thanks Paul,

I will give it a test right away.

Hi Paul,

Results of testing.

Started MSFS2024 with FSUIPC 7.50b (still beta)

Started standalone FSUIPCWebSocketServer (1.1.3)

FSUIPCWebSocketServer shows as the correct version, and connected to FSUIPC 7.500b
The MSFS Variables page is still showing the same message, see attached images.
I tried both normal and run as admin.

Confusing part..
Yesterday when I opened FSUIPC 7.5b from the Windows toolbar, and went to Add-Ons / WASM, I could see the LVars.
Today if I try, FSUIPC crashes. 😞

I will keep an eye on FSUIPC and test FSUIPCWebSocketServer with each beta and the final release.
 

Thanks,

Rob

I missed a couple of places where the sim is checked.

Could you try this one?

Thanks,

Paul

Making progress.

The looks like all is well, but hangs when I try "Log LVars".

Could you please download the FSUIPC WASM Module 1.0.6 + WAPI 1.0.4 package from fsuipc.com. Inside is a WASMClient test program. Can you see if that will list the LVars? (File -> Start, then Control -> List LVars).

If it does then this problem is with my code and I'll look into it some more.

If that test client will not list LVars then it's a problem with the WASM modules and you'll need to ask John about that.

The WASMClient does List LVars correctly.

FSUIPC7 WASM works fine now also. 🤷‍♂️

FSUIPCWebSocketServer still hangs (sorry 😪)

 

[Paul Henty]

Okay - What about using the socket server with MSFS - does that still work or is that broken as well?

Paul

[Robs113]

FSUIPCWebSocketServer 1.1.3 seems to work fine talking to MSFS2020 via FSUIPC 7.5b

[Paul Henty]

Thanks for all the info. Leave it with me, I'll see if I can sort it out.

Paul

Hi Rob,

I've messaged John about this - he says there is an issue where the WASM module sometimes crashes. There is a FAQ about it here:

It might be worth trying with a stock aircraft in MSFS2024 or going through the fix suggested in the above post.

Hi Paul,

My app is for airline pilots so I am aways using complex aircraft at complex airports.

MSFS2024 is still rather flakey so I think I will hold off on further testing until things stabilize more.

Thanks for your assistance.
