Hi JL,

first of all thanks for the new version!

As I faced different problems with version 37 I downgraded again to 36.3 weeks ago. This version (with SIOC 4.6) runs without any problems on my system. I had no time and no fancy to experience with 37.

Actually I like to try your new version 38. Is it reasonable (or even indispensable) to install the latest SIOC version as well? And if so would you suggest to rewrite the SIOC script with your SIOC_CREATOR or will a new compilation of the txt file into an ssi file suffice?

Thanks for advice!
Regards
René

Hi JL,

Do you know what it would take to make your software run with XPlane?

I am using XPUIPC, and XConnect which converts values from FSUIPC, but after starting your software I cannot even start the batteries.

Is there some additional programming which would need to be done?

I've grown quite impressed with XPlane and would like to leave FSX/P3D behind -- here is a recent video I took: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWDC9H_jzzw

JL,

Do you recommend a fresh install for B38 or can we just use the updater?

Thanks,

Hi JL -- thank you for the update.

I also get the FLAC1+2 errors (autopilot also automatically disconnects), and abberations on ND with terrain EGWS turned on (try airport YBCG, YBBN).

Hi all,

Try this new version:
http://www.jeehell.org/A320FMGS_B38.1.exe


I will not add xplane support because of no available A320 flight model that can be used, and the time required to add full support.

Some EGPWS issues may come from graphics cards/drivers.

Hi

I don't get any FAC fault anymore with the new version. Thank you for fixing that.

But with this new version I can't move the ailerons on ground, e.g. for the flight controls check. The ailerons are only moving a little bit on the f/ctl page of the ecam. In flight everythings works fine.

Best regards

Hi JH,

today i made the update of your new Version! Big thanks for your hard work! Installed all as Admin.

I got also the ELAC2 fail on the FLT CTL. Can not turn on or off.

The issue with the crashing P3D and not connection/connection of the clients in your Server still be there.
What i have finde out. When i start P3D, FMGS and SIOC as Admin, P3D doesnīt crash, but with the small issue of the displayed connection. Like in this Video. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jO1VVO9kDfc)
When i forget to start SIOC or start it without admin rights, P3D crashes but the clients displayed as connected in your Server. In the next time, make also a video of the crash.

Hi JL or all others,

again my two questions. A simple yes or no suffices!

1) Do I need to install SIOC 5.0 for38.1.?
2) Do I have to reconfigure then with SIOC_Creator?

Thanks!
René

tcane
02-18-2015, 05:08 PM
Hi Renč,

1) You doesīt need SIOC 5.0. An older Version of SIOC also works.
2) Since the last 3 big Version Updates i reconfigure the Jeeheel.txt every time with the SIOC-Creator.

Cheers

Hi JL,

sorry, big mistake frome me. :-|
There are no ELAC 2 issue. Without the displayed connected not connected issue and P3D crash, all works fine! (For me GPWS works without a problem...)
Have made a complete new SIOC_Creator assignment and the FD and ELAC2 Korry have the same Input Number but a different IDX. And i assignment on the same IDX like the FD Button. :roll:
Sorry for making trouble with this here.

Hi JL,

As I have mentioned in posts elsewhere in this forum, I am working on a 2-D panel interface to the JH A320 using XML gauges and FSUIPC-LUA scripting. Thank you for attending to related issues concerning certain FSUIPC offsets, which I have acknowledged in the relevant threads.

A few more issues are noted here:

(1) Capt- and FO-MCDU's LSK and RSK keys do not work when activation is attempted through FSUIPC offset 78EC (values 38-43 and 44-49, values 221-226 and 227-232) . However these keys work normally on the native graphical MCDU's. So I suspect that this is a problem with the FSUIPC offset. This problem existed even with update B37 and continued till B38.

(2) With update B38.1, both MCDU's get stuck on 'loading nav data' and are wholly inoperative thereafter. No keys work, even on the the native graphical MCDU's. Reverting to version B38 restores functionality of the keys and allows loading of nav data, but the problem noted above with the offsets for line select keys returns.

(3) The 'always on top' feature for the graphical display units does not work reliably, and this was an issue even with version B37. I wonder if this is a general problem faced by everyone, or whether this is related to my own multi-monitor configuration. (I operate 6 monitors off my server desktop using 2 dual-head graphics cards as well as 2 Matrox DH2Go units. My system has worked stably and efficiently with all other FSX add-ons, including the PMDG B737 NGX and the FSLabs Concorde)

(4) I am having problems with APU start and Engine Start. They often get stuck/hang mid-way. I am wondering whether this is due to my trying to operate all the units on the server, rather than distributing them over a network, which is of course how your software is intended to be run.

Thank you for your attention.

Regards,

Chakko.

Hi Chakko, I also run the CPT and F/O MCDU LSK and RSK keys via the FSUIPC offsets and still don't have any problems with them in B37 and B38. The APU and both engines also start without any problems. Maybe some difficulties in your hardware configuration, for example the network or computers...

Got my first flight with the latest beta tonight. All went well until after landing. Just cleared the runway and I suffered what I assume was a disconnect. I lost my engines and all power for no reason. I got the apu running soon after, but couldn't get the engines running again.

Will test again tomorrow to see if the problem reoccurs.

Jess B

jeehell
02-24-2015, 07:31 PM
Hi Jessica,

This does not look like a disconnect situation as all the engines logic is running locally on the main computer.
This could be :
- hardware interference (if you have switches for the engines master switches)
- fuel starvation
- mis-handling of the master switches (soft or hard)
- a bug in the fuel system logic

If you encounter that again, please report it.

best regards,
Jean Luc

Hi JH, Hello everyone,
Nice flight today. I noticed that 2 times including on approach the plane was suddenly losing track and turning left off track. I had to redirect the ACT to the next maypoint. Otherwise nothing to notice and the fuel burnt is perfect. Vertical nav has been considerably improved. Thanks JH.
Another issue that appeared with B38 is on vhf2 : sdby frequency cannot be switched anymore. there is a blink but no change. Does anyone has the same problem ?
Thanks,

Hi all,

The latest version is available.
http://www.jeehell.org/A320FMGS_B38.3.exe (I skipped 38.2...).

What's new:
-Greatly enhanced ADIRUs logic
-Added SWITCHING panel selectors (ATT HDG / AIR DATA / DMC / ECAM ND XFR) in SIOC, FDS and CockpitSonic interface. Skalarki will probably arrive soon with an update of the profiler from Marcin.
-Reworked navdata loading:
*Navdata is computed from Aerosoft format to a direct format by the FMGS Server after each AIRAC cycle update
*This process creates .bin files in the Navdata folder (ARPT.bin,FIX.bin, etc)
*These files must be copied on your client computers in the same navdata folder
*If you change scenery or else, you need to delete the files on the server computer to re-generate them (then copy them again).
*If you update the airac cylce manually into navdata\navdata1 and navdata2 folders, you'll have to erase the bin files manually as well.

Hi JH, thank you for the work you put into this.

I've upgraded from a really old version to 38.3 but now one of my two clients won't connect. The networking side is fine, I can ping, there are no firewalls/AV's.

I have 2xMCDU's on PC3, Panels on PC2 and Logic on the FSX machine, all of which was running fine on the previous version.

The 2 clients wideFGMS configs are identical, and from what I can tell, correct. The standby instruments are blank.

Strangely though, earlier on on a previous reinstall it was the 'other' pc that couldn't connect.

There have been no hardware/cabling changes. This is at the stage before running Skylarki Profiler. I can run panels on the main PC fine, and everything seems to operate without the displays attached.

I've checked everything I can think of this end. Any ideas....

Cheers

Thanks for your help,

Btw, did a P3DV2 flight today which was great : still the aircraft going off track one time during approach, and an abnormally long flight time estimate in MCDU (1h44 mns for a 1h04 flight time with sometimes 10 minutes displayed for a 11NM leg). Seems to have appeared with the last B38.3.

Hi JL!

Thanks for the new version.
I'm just checking the new panels in SIOC_Creator.
Regarding the Rudder Trim panel...
I'm wondering how the 4th digit should be realized to display "R" & "L", as the Opencockpits DisplayII card is not able to display these special characters.

I mean it would be possible to use e.g. value "6" for "R" and "7" for "L" and exchange the PINs of the several segments.

Thanks for your hints.

I just discovered this wonderful FMGS320 o Jeehel.
use OpenCockpit ars so I'II try it all.
I managed to view the gauges
However I can not seem to start the engines because fuel is zero (FOB 0).
I have not yet installed NavdataPro because I use Navigraph.
This can be explained this.
Is it done way to put some fuel for my test ?
I will then test Siocreator.
Thank you still Jeehel and those who bring me help.

Hi JL

With the latest 38.3 --

Aircraft is unable to maintain G/S with both AP1+AP2 turned on; is there a new flight model? I am using FSX (Steam Edition) but when installing was told there was an error installing into my P3D folder (which I have deleted).

The aircraft also felt a little 'light' when hand flying with the sidestick.

I like how the EICAM reminds me to turn on the PACKS after takeoff.

Can someone familiar with the aircraft confirm that when you are at Flaps 3, Stats are at 2 prior to T/O? With the latest beta, there is a leading edge (triangle) at 3, but stats are at 2.

I attempted to run StarterFSX with admin rights but the terrain awareness sytem (EGPWS) still gives an EIS error when it is turned on.

P.S - How do you turn on the 'night mode' for the OVHD?

Regards.

Hello JL,

no criticism on 38.3, everything seems to run fine and stable on the ground but I have to check the systems completely via a test flight yet. And thank you for the Power-On LED assignment, it's great and solved some minor problems!!!:)

I have three wishes for a future version:

- It would be fantastic to implement the Cabin Alt and Temp 1-3 control on the overhead panel via potentiometers - like the dim control potis for PFD, ND, EWD and SD. As far as I know they are controlled via potis in the real aircraft.

- When I turn on the APU master switch on the overhead panel, the APU page on the SD doesn't appear. I have to call it manually by the APU switch on the ECAM control. Is that like in the real A320? Don't know exactly but I think so.

- An actual offset list for download.

Congrats to that great software and thank you again for your superb work, Jean-Luc! ;)

Kind regards,
Bon

Hallo again,

Made a one hour testflight. And got two issues.
Regarding rework of the navdata loading. Erase old .bin files from the navdata folder on the server. After this start the server and let create the new .bin files. Copied this files into my two clients in the navdata folder. Can programming and track a route with the waypoints in the MCDU, ND etc.
But i canīt see the VORīs, NDBīs, WPTīs, ARPT on the ND when i push one of this buttons in the FCU. Have anybody also the same problem?
Sorry for the "stupid" question but have i done something wrong now???

The other thing is, that the ND/PFD/MCDU CPT. MCDU F/O and ECAM DISPLAY freezes after ca. 50 minutes complete. I got this Displays on one Computer.
ND/PFD/ECAM/MCDU CPT. are connected to a graphicscard and a TRIPLE HEAD TO GO.
MCDU FO are connected to the onboard graphicscard.
The ND and PFD for the F/O are on another client PC and still works continue without problems.

I hope someone can help me with this. :,(((

Hmm, also strange:
Yesterday I've installed 38.3 and tested a short startup. Worked so far.
Today I started the hole system like every day... and there seems to be no connection between FMGSServer and FMGS clients any more. But WideFS recognizes all three WideClients.
All input assignments in iitcreator are correct and able to be tested in iitcreator, so all output assignments are, all poti and switch assignments in FMGSConfig are there and working, network recognizes all PCs with their right IPs, "StarterFSX" brings no error message - but when I choose "ExtPwr" in FSX, there's no light on the Overhead panel, and there's also no light on the virtual OVHD display. Also strange: I cannot move any virtual switch on the OVHD display software. In short: there's power available for the hole system, everything stays dark.
I have tried three hours without success and don't know what's wrong. I've changed nothing. Any hints?

Best regards,
Bon

Hello Adrian,
yes, I know this behaviour and I always start all software parts as administrator. BTW: the hole system is Win7.
But many thanks for your input. I remember that this special problem also occured in B37.4 when I've implemented the PDF, ND and EWD/SD dim poti control via hardware (FDS FC-1 card). When I disconnected all the dim potis from all three FC-1 cards, it worked again. Maybe this is the same issue in B38.3 but I have to test that yet. Now I have to work. I don't think it's a problem in FMGS but with the FC-1 card connection via hardware connect. Mysterious. Will reply.

Today, I flew two legs (LSZH-LSGG-LSZH) with B38.3. And now I also discovered the 'disconnection problem' as reported here as well. I was running two clients. Only the client with PFD, ND, and MCDU on it disconnected twice. The other client with EWD, SD, standby instruments, and HW drivers for FDS and Skalarki never disconnected.

Here are some extracts from the logs I attached.

I started the simulator on 17:10:03 as can be seen in log logNDB.txt

*17:10:03* Navdata module launched Server
*17:10:03*
*17:10:06*
*17:10:06* Navdata1:
*17:10:06* -ARPTliste:15336

*17:10:06* -MarkerList:2574
*17:10:06*
*17:10:06* server started on port:8006
...

Then I started the 'PFD/ND/MCDU' client SW (IP 192.168.1.91) without 'administrator rights'. According to the logNDB.txt the client connected but then an error occurred and it disconnects as shown below:

...
*17:10:49* Client connected: 192.168.1.91
*17:10:50* Client connected: 192.168.1.91
*17:11:01* Client Disconnected: 192.168.1.91
*17:11:02* Client error 10053
*17:11:02* Client Disconnected: 192.168.1.91
...

I stopped the client SW and restarted the SW with administrator privileges. I also started the 'Standby/HW' client (IP 192.168.1.93) with administrator privileges. Then the logNDB.txt shows this:

...
*17:11:13* Client connected: 192.168.1.91
*17:11:22* Client connected: 192.168.1.91
*17:11:26* Client connected: 192.168.1.91
*17:11:48* Client connected: 192.168.1.93

...

On the WideFMGSserver screen only the connection of the clients started with administrator privileges are visible. Following the extract:

WideFMGS server Log.
port 8003:192.168.1.91 connected
port 8004:192.168.1.91 connected
port 8005:192.168.1.91 connected
port 8003:192.168.1.93 connected
port 8005:192.168.1.93 connected
port 8004:192.168.1.93 connected

After more than one hour of flying (it happened during takeoff in LSGG), the 'PFD/ND/MCDU' client stopped working. All three displays were 'frozen'. So I stopped the client SW and restarted it with administrator privileges. The logNDB.txt shows the following entries:

...
*18:21:08* Client Disconnected: 192.168.1.91
*18:21:09* Client Disconnected: 192.168.1.91
*18:21:09* Client error 10053
*18:21:09* Client Disconnected: 192.168.1.91
*18:21:25* Client connected: 192.168.1.91
*18:21:37* Client connected: 192.168.1.91
*18:21:39* Client connected: 192.168.1.91
...
Please note that the client error reported (10053) is exactly the same one as when I started the client SW without administrator privileges.

And the WideFMGSserver shows this:

...
port 8003:192.168.1.91 disconnected
port 8004:192.168.1.91 error
port 8004:192.168.1.91 disconnected
port 8005:192.168.1.91 disconnected
Fpln OnError
port 8003:192.168.1.91 connected
port 8004:192.168.1.91 connected
port 8005:192.168.1.91 connected
...

The next client communication problem of the 'PFD/ND/MCDU' client was after 20 minutes. So the time was much shorter between the 1st and the 2nd crash than between the initial start and the 1st crash. The following extract shows the rest of the logNDB.txt entries:

...
*18:40:12* Client Disconnected: 192.168.1.91
*18:40:12* Client Disconnected: 192.168.1.91
*18:40:12* Client error 10053
*18:40:12* Client Disconnected: 192.168.1.91
*18:40:28* Client connected: 192.168.1.91
*18:40:38* Client connected: 192.168.1.91
*18:40:42* Client connected: 192.168.1.91
*19:00:02*
*19:00:02* Module stopped normally


And the corresponding entries of the WideFMGSserver log:

...
port 8003:192.168.1.91 disconnected
port 8004:192.168.1.91 error
port 8004:192.168.1.91 disconnected
port -1: error
port 8005:192.168.1.91 disconnected
Fpln OnError
port 8003:192.168.1.91 connected
port 8004:192.168.1.91 connected
port 8005:192.168.1.91 connected

I also have to mention that my 'PFD/ND/MCDU' client runs at 100% CPU (which seems normal according to the discussions I followed). Hence, it may not have enough CPU time to run the communication 'on-time' (this is my speculation :wink:). The 'Standby/HW' client has the same HW as the 'PFD/ND/MCDU' client, but the CPU runs at 40-60% only. Therefore, it might be interesting to here from you all, if only the 'max CPU' client disconnects or if it happens to 'any' client.

I apologize for the very long report. But I hope that this can help to sort out the root cause of the communication problem. Many thanks to all of you for being so active in this forum!

Hi all,
I just come back from a short test flight after updating to the latest version and I flew from LSGG to LSZH without any issues, no disconects, all went fine and was exciting as always. Thank you again JL for that outstanding software.
Using Skalarki HW and FSX with four PC systems.

Best regards

Hi Buentead (and the others with disconnects...)

It's possible that too much CPU strain could make the client disconnect .This is to "save" the server from waiting too long transmitting data it removes the lagging client, otherwise the whole network would suffer lag. I'll try to increase the delay before it "cuts" the connection.
I can't say much more than sizing the computer correctly to run the PFD and ND which are heavy CPU users.

You can try to reduce the PFD/ND loads by adding these 4 lines in the PFD.ini and ND.ini files (put the 4 lines in the 2 files, do not put the ND lines only in the ND.ini...):
PFDminDelay=0.1
PFDmaxDelay=0.3
NDminDelay=0.1
NDmaxDelay=0.3

(the default values are 0.04 and 0.2)

You should also refrain from using the EGPWS as it adds CPU usage.
A multi core CPU is best (ideally core i7 or similar...).

Regards,
JL

Hi JH,
No disconnects on my side.
Can you reproduce the inability to switch stby frequency when on vhf2 or nav2. This happens on both CPT and FO RMP panels (fscockpit hardware) since new version.
Thanks a lot.

... But i canīt see the VORīs, NDBīs, WPTīs, ARPT on the ND when i push one of this buttons in the FCU. Have anybody also the same problem?
Sorry for the "stupid" question but have i done something wrong now???

The other thing is, that the ND/PFD/MCDU CPT. MCDU F/O and ECAM DISPLAY freezes after ca. 50 minutes complete. I got this Displays on one Computer.
ND/PFD/ECAM/MCDU CPT. are connected to a graphicscard and a TRIPLE HEAD TO GO.
MCDU FO are connected to the onboard graphicscard.
The ND and PFD for the F/O are on another client PC and still works continue without problems.
...

Hi JL,
this morning the 38.3 system worked again (very mysterious) but with the known difficulties. Before startup I've added the four lines to the PDF and ND ini's as described in your last post.
- no effects on the ND when pushing WPT, ARPT, VORD, NDB or CSTR on the FCU (like tcane described some days ago, too)
- CPT PFD/ND client disconnected after 15 minutes on the ground without any inputs in the system, only APU started. And I don't use EPGWS.

All software has been started as administrator, all PCs are multicore-i7 with Windows 7. I don't know what's wrong with 38.3 on my really fast system... :???:
Now I've rolled back to 37.4 and everything runs fine and stable. Unfortunately without my beloved API Power On output feature, the extended ECAM switching and the great Rudder Trim feature :(

Best regards,
Bon

EDIT:
In case of too much CPU loads on the PFD/ND computers... in my system there are three clients: PC2 with PFD+ND+MCDU CPT, PC3 with PFD+ND+MCDU F/O, PC4 with ECAM+OVHD.
I have another PC available to remove the MCDUs from the PFD+ND clients. Is it possible to run both MCDUs on one machine?

Hallo all again,

Maybe somebody or you Jl knows whats going on with this strange issue?!
Here is again a small video with the P3D crash when i launch the Jeehell-Server. http://youtu.be/TimYAU3mFic
The strange thing is, that when P3D crashes (bing sound and blue mouse ball) the clientīs displayed as connected. O.o You see the green connection after crashing.
When P3d doesnīt crash after starting the server, the clientīs displayed not as connected but they are connected and works. Like there: http://youtu.be/jO1VVO9kDfc

Iīm made an downgrade now, because i had a online flight this evening. :) Update then if there a new update out.

King regards
Florian

Hi all,

The latest version is available.
http://www.jeehell.org/A320FMGS_B38.3.exe (I skipped 38.2...).

What's new:
-Greatly enhanced ADIRUs logic
-Added SWITCHING panel selectors (ATT HDG / AIR DATA / DMC / ECAM ND XFR) in SIOC, FDS and CockpitSonic interface. Skalarki will probably arrive soon with an update of the profiler from Marcin.
-Reworked navdata loading:
*Navdata is computed from Aerosoft format to a direct format by the FMGS Server after each AIRAC cycle update
*This process creates .bin files in the Navdata folder (ARPT.bin,FIX.bin, etc)
*These files must be copied on your client computers in the same navdata folder
*If you change scenery or else, you need to delete the files on the server computer to re-generate them (then copy them again).
*If you update the airac cylce manually into navdata\navdata1 and navdata2 folders, you'll have to erase the bin files manually as well.


@Urs: this website is not mine, it is an unofficial one from Ben on this forum.

Regards,
JL

Hi JL

do not understand what bin files are created. Just did the NavData update to new circle but no bin files are created by Aerosoft in the navdata folder. My MCDU^s still have the old circle active. Where do I get the .bin files?

Stefan, the files are created by the FMGS Server in C:\A320FMGS\Navdata (default installation folder).

Hi
My OVHD Logic (FDS card) and FCU (CPFlight) don't work the first time I run the starter, neither the second. I must close the starter, then rerun it for the third time, in order for the OVHD and FCU to work. Weird, why?

03-06-2015, 02:01 PM
Hi JH, Tried the admin trick and it worked! Simple things, wierd though that other installs didn't need it. Have updated to latest versions and all seems good.

Just one thing now and I'm sure it's simple, there is no nav app to build the nav data, in the install, did I not install something important?

Okay, I've tried to get B38.3 working again but with a fifth Win7 PC only for the MCDU to reduce CPU load on the PFD/ND PC.
Started as administrator, power on, system okay (still without the non-function buttons CSTR, WPT etc), APU started, IRS aligned, MCDU programmed, taxied to RWY and took off, 7 minutes fun in the skies......... then no reaction on the PFD/ND any more! Flight cancelled mid-air! :roll:
Now I have only the PFD and ND software on a clean and powerful computer, a fast and stable network but the disconnections still appear. What has changed to the previous version? I'll not make any tests with 38.3 any more and will drive 37 until a new one is out. Takes too much time to spin around.

Best regards,
Bon

@Mike,
The old download link doesn't work any more. I have the old B37 exe on an usb stick but it's not here at home. Have to look for it on Monday.

Hi,

The latest version is out.
http://jeehell.org/A320FMGS_B38.4.exe

I have no idea what may cause the network issues. Lots of people dont have those, so I can only guess something is wrong with the setups of those who have that issue. It could be a lot of different things:
- Anti virus
- admin rights
- router issues
- firewall issues
- port conflict with other software
- various things I will never think of...


(this might be a key linked to the error 10053 one of you had:

I don't have any issues with connectivity..but then again I am just running from one computer at the moment.

Test flight with 38.4 and everything is ok, even the autolanding (it was sluggish before due to scenery complexity turn to max, decreasing this allowed FMGS to sync with the aircraft).

Thanks again JL, we know you are only a one man team.

Hi all,

JH thanks for the new version I've tried now but I still have no NDB, VOR APRT or WPT on the remote PC's
I've tried serveral WIN 7 64B pc's and all have the same issue. If I start the ND on the FSX computer where the
server is running I can see all the NDB, VOR APRT and WPT...

The actions I did:


removed the anti virus software
turned off the fire wall
disconnected the router

but no luck....

I'Ve tried the default port configuration and I saw a error on Port 8005

**12:3:42.720**port 8005:192.168.0.163 connected

after this I've changed the ports to

9610, 9613, 9621 and 9622 because they should be free accoding to the internet steatments

I did start everything but still the same issue no NDB, VOR APRT or WPT.

Hi Mike

did you start all apps with adminright's, that was what I found out, my account is local admin but I need to use right click on starter.exe and have to choose start as administrator, then it worked.

Hallo Mike,

did you following this installation steps?

Jl changed the Navdata since Version 38.3

-Reworked navdata loading:

*Navdata is computed from Aerosoft format to a direct format by the FMGS Server after each AIRAC cycle update
*This process creates .bin files in the Navdata folder (ARPT.bin,FIX.bin, etc)
*These files must be copied on your client computers in the same navdata folder
*If you change scenery or else, you need to delete the files on the server computer to re-generate them (then copy them again).
*If you update the airac cylce manually into navdata\navdata1 and navdata2 folders, you'll have to erase the bin files manually as well.

Made two short test flights yesterday and all (without the displayed disconnection but working clients) works very fine and nice!
BIG THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK AGAIN!
Looking forward to your next steps, like maybe a weather radar? . ;):p

Cheers Florian

Hi JH and Guys,
have anybody a idea because of my crashing P3D when i start the Jeehell Server? Or how i can finde out what goes wrong?
Slowly it makes me crazy. :(and iīm really frustrated. Sometimes it works without any problems, sometimes i try more as a half hour to start the server without a crash and suddenly it works again. Firewall, Antivir all are off.
Got now also the newest P3D Version... all Windows and Graphic-Updates.... newest JH Ware...

Hi all

Is it ok to run the Starter.exe respectively the StarterFSX.exe with admin privs or does every single .exe need to have admin privs?

And how do you run an .exe with admin privs as an autorun at Windows start (eg. out of the Startup folder)?

The "Run this program as an administrator" checkbox however only helps if you start the application manually but not if you want to have it started automatically at windows startup (at least I have not found a solution therefore).

In the last hour i made an complete fresh and clean installation of Jeeheel and saw that the default Ports are usually other!
Changed all to default... all works without any crash and clients displayed as connected. :-|

I`ll thump me with the hammer to the head! BIG BIG SORRY FOR THIS GUYS!!!

It doesnīt saves the "Use SWTCHG/RUDDER TRIM" when i enabled it.

Hello everybody,

I'v got a problem with the MCDU modul. When I press the PROG or PERF key the following error message is displayed

MCDU DIPLAY PROBLEM PLEASE REPORT ISSUE


All other keys (and modules) work fine.



Version B38.3 is installed but I face the same issue with older versions. The MCDU is running on a touch screen monitor (10 inch) but with a normal TFT I get the same error message. And there is no difference using the mouse or my fingers to press the button.
As I'm still testing A320FMGS is running on a single PC.

Hi Folks,

I've a small question concerning the FSUIPC pipe &H78EE (OVHD input) as soon as I write a command the input
from the graphical OVHD does stop working but the lights are working.. Is there an option to have both inputs?
(I'll try to wirte my own driver for my cockpit hardware and sometimes it's good to have both running for testing :p)

Hi JL

I had the OVHD UI running and did turn on the couple of things with the mouse (like EXT PWR etc..) and it worked find
The UI was stil running and I did send one byte to 78EE (value 47 for Pack 1) and the PACK1 light on the UI turned on and
off as expected but after this all mouse inputs on the UI didn't work anymore..
I did close and restart the UI but no change... but the FSUIPC input did still work and the light on UI did respond
That looks to me that the FSUIPC inputs were processed.

There is one more question from my side is it possible to have not only toggle commands for the Korry switches
a few in the ovhd are also alternating switches (solid ON or OFF position like fuel pumps flt controls packs etc)

like
78EE value 47 (Pack 1 TOGGLE)
78EE value XXX (Pack 1 ON)
78EE value YYY (Pack 1 OFF)

That would be really nice :D

Mike

@Mario and Stefan: did you upgrade to 38.4 by first using the full installer ( http://www.jeehell.org/A320FMGS_B38.4.exe ) then doing the auto updates?

@Airbus Mike: I tried the FSUIPC module alongside the OVHD UI and I do not have any issues. It is not possible to add the full ON/OFF logic for all korries in FSUIPC module. You'll have to do some sort of synchronization yourself (it's not too hard to do since the OVHD panel always starts in the same SW state).

Not sure exactly what you did?
The process for the navdata files:
*Navdata is computed from Aerosoft format to a direct format by the FMGS Server after each AIRAC cycle update
*This process creates .bin files in the Navdata folder (ARPT.bin,FIX.bin, etc)

Hi Jl,
today i made the last update. Alle works fine for me! ;)
But the only small thing with the SIOC_CREATOR still be there. When i start the SIOC-CREATOR and load a before saved config file where are the F/O MCDU assigned with the IDX2 and enabled Switchingpanel, this two things are every time lost. So i must assigned the F/O MCDU with IDX 2 and enabled the Switchingpanel again before i apply this configuration.

Sorry JL,
did not know that after update from 38.4 to 38.5 I need to re-install Aerosoft NavData again, just checked and the Nav1 and 2 were empty....

Now it works, and MCDU is up to date :-). Now I am testing the rest and hope my problems are history ...

Hi everybody, hi JL, I a truly great fun for the new update B38.5, everything seems to be working great, except for the terrain on ND. I have only tried the CPT side, but when I turn it on, I get an access violation which freezes the ND, until I clear the access violation and reset the ND. Anybody getting this? Do I need to reinstall the terrain data? My setup is the CPT and FO PFD and ND are on one remote computer, and two other computers work the FSX and the rest of the sim.

Hi JL,

I've a small question concerning the TERR ON ND

If I send "WriteToFSX 1, &H78ED, 43" (thats my FSUIPC function in VB) the TERR is displayed on the CPT ND. If I now send the same command nothing happens. The TERR is still displayed on the ND.
I thought it's toggle but maybe it's different. I can only turn the TERR ON ND off if I use the
MCDU function. What do I wrong here or did I simply oversaw something? And do you have an FSUIPC offset for the
TERR ON ND light CPT & F/O.

Many thanks!

Hi JL,
THX for the immediate support!
I now installed B38.5 (sry for my mistake, yesterday it was still 38.4) and allowed the Updater to install the additional update on all three PCs.
On my secondary PC the MCDUs, EWD and SD are running. Now the MCDUs ar working as usual. But there was no way to start the SD and the EWD, they donīt appear in the task bar as well. I made a fresh install of B38.5 without the update and now all displays are running.
One special thing of my config: While all other PCs run Win7 64Bit, the secondary PC uses Vista 32Bit. I will soon switch to another Win7 64Bit, so no need to solve the problem for me, if this is the cause.
I will report, if the missing update on the secondary PC leads to any problems.

DO you run the starter using admin rights on all PCs? it may be the reason.
It is really best to always use the same version on all computers, very strange things may occur otherwise...

Regards,
JL

Beaufort
03-18-2015, 04:10 PM
Hi JL,
affirmative, as admin on all PCs, the only thing is, that I canīt assign admin rights to the EIS.exe, the SD.exe and the EWD.exe on the Vista-PC (on the Win7-PCs its possible and I did so). So perhaps a Vista problem? If so, donīt invest Your time in solving that, I think its my part to switch to Win7 (or 10, when itīs out) soon. But as described: the problem occurs only after the update.
Regards an THX again
Rainer

jeehell
03-18-2015, 04:19 PM
If you run the software manually (i.e. without the starter), it's been a long time since there no longer any SD.exe, EWD.exe etc... The 6 EIS display (PFDs/NDs/SD/EWD) have been replaced by a single EIS.exe file. This file must be run with the correct parameter to determine which display it actually represents (the physical display, i.e. the display at a physical position in the cockpit). This allows easy EIS reconfiguration (PFD/ND XFR etc).
The installer should install shortcuts (called PFD, ND, SD etc) which link to the EIS.exe with the correct launch parameter. Windows allows you to force admin right on a shortcut as well (at least 7 and most probably vista as well).

JL

If you run the software manually (i.e. without the starter), it's been a long time since there no longer any SD.exe, EWD.exe etc... The 6 EIS display (PFDs/NDs/SD/EWD) have been replaced by a single EIS.exe file. This file must be run with the correct parameter to determine which display it actually represents (the physical display, i.e. the display at a physical position in the cockpit). This allows easy EIS reconfiguration (PFD/ND XFR etc).
The installer should install shortcuts (called PFD, ND, SD etc) which link to the EIS.exe with the correct launch parameter. Windows allows you to force admin right on a shortcut as well (at least 7 and most probably vista as well).

Regards,
JL

Hi JL,
well, my fault, as you say, EWD and SD are shortcuts only, thatīs the same in my installation.
In fact I cannot assign admin rights neither to these shortcuts not to the EIS.exe, it is greyed in Properties/Compatibility. I can set the checkmark in Properties/Shortcut/Erweitert/Als Administrator ausführen (-dont know the term of english Windows-), but that doesnīt change anything. Seems to be a problem of (perhaps only my?) Vista, I installed the EWD and SD on my primary (Win7-) PC, there all is working fine even after the autoupdate. There admin rights in Properties/Compatibility are also greyed, but different to the situation on the Vista PC the boxes for admin rights are checked.
As I will change to Win 7 soon on all my PCs no need to solve the problem for me.

2. Autobrake disarm with one brake pedal, or speedbrake/spoilers disarm after landing.

I can confirm this logic works correctly. Autobrake will disarm when you also disarm the spoilers.

I will continue my testing with

1. Take off with no FD engaged (early testing indicates A/THR arms in FMGS, contrary to the FCOM)
2. Take off with no V2 MCDU input

Hi JL,
I think I got it:
I made the update of the graphics driver (now: 13.251.0.0), but that didnīt result in any change.
Next step I copied only the EIS.exe of B38.5 before the autoupdate into A320FMGS/EIS, and this works. Comparing the two EIS.exe I realised, that the "old" one shows version number 1.0.0.0 and a size of 5,00 MB in Properties/Details, while the "new" one does not show a version number and has a size of only 2,88 MB. Seems the Autoupdate had a problem with downloading EIS.exe.
I deinstalled A320FMGS on the Vista-PC, erased the complete folder, made a new clean install of B38.5. Next step I cancelled the Autoupdate and started the Updater.exe manually with right click and "Execute as Administrator". Now the EIS.exe shows version number 0.38.0.0 product version number 1.0.0.0 size 5,18 MB - and it works!
I assume, it was not a display driver problem, but a problem of Vista to download the EIS.exe with admin rights from the Updater.exe. And that all in spite of UAC off. Windows...
Thanks for your help!

Hi again,
i have again maybe a stupid question.

I would like to assigned the SPD HDG etc. writing surface in the FCU. But i have a little problem because i use LED-BARS for this which are controlled with an Opencockpits display card. Another way is Unfortunately not possible. But the SIOC-Creator supports only the outputs from a Master or Outputcard. Is there a any chance to use it with my Displaycard? Maybe you can add a support for this in your next update?

I have try to write a Script for this and insert to the SIOC Creator. But it seems like this would not work... also there is a problem with the LAT ALT LVL/CH LED... because there is only one Output for this intended?!

Here is the Script that i have written and insertet to the SIOC_Creator:


"Var 1000, name LVLCH_LED, Link IOCARD_DISPLAY, Device 1, Digit 65, Numbers 1 (here i need more Digitīs for this)


Var 1001, name HDG_LED, Link IOCARD_DISPLAY, Device 1, Digit 79, Numbers 1


Var 1002, name TK_LED, Link IOCARD_DISPLAY, Device 1, Digit 64, Numbers 1


Var 1003, name SPD_LED, Link IOCARD_DISPLAY, Device 1, Digit 77, Numbers 1


Var 1004, name MACH_LED, Link IOCARD_DISPLAY, Device 1, Digit 78, Numbers 1


Var 1005, name HDGVS_LED, Link IOCARD_DISPLAY, Device 1, Digit 66, Numbers 1


Var 1006, name TKFPA_LED, Link IOCARD_DISPLAY, Device 1, Digit 67, Numbers 1


Var 1007, name VS_LED, Link IOCARD_DISPLAY, Device 1, Digit 70, Numbers 1


Var 1008, name FPA_LED, Link IOCARD_DISPLAY, Device 1, Digit 71, Numbers 1"


Maybe you JL or somebody can help me with this?

Hi

I'm not sure how you want to use a display card with LEDs?
You're wiring the LED bar as if it was a 7 segment digit and send an "8" to it so all LEDs light up? If so, I will not add that, this is just not a "normal" operation.
I'd personnaly use a relay or an optocoupler to allow having enough current in the LED bar, using only one output as well.

Hi,

Yes, like this and this was not my idea. :(
I bought last year a FCU circuit board with panels from a friend and he had bought it from someone in Spain who has well developed with a few guys and Opencockpits. In short, he stoped to build his cockpit and i get some things like this for a bargain.
Unfortunately, he had no real manual for it but only images and tables etc. In some pictures you can see that the display cards have been used for the LED bars and even in a SIOC script there are also signs of this.

I now that this are not a "normal" operation and I would be glad if it run on an ordinary master card. But unfortunately this is not so and I will probably have no choice unless you can be found in the attached images and scripts out something.
Or maybe you've got an idea how does it work with the display card and Jeehell anyway?
I think the main reason why has the guys make this so is that it is a pulse width modulation.

This pictures and the linked SIOC_Script are not from me. ;)
If anybody need more pictures... write me a PM. ;)

In this case, you will have to do something like that (here only for the LVL CH bar, you'll need to adapt the code for the other bars...):

1) make an additional script which SIOC Creator will append to it's own script which will give you the jeehellware.ssi. Add something like you already wrote:
Var 1000, name LVLCH_BAR, Link IOCARD_DISPLAY, Device 1, Digit 65, Numbers 1 //(here i need more Digitīs for this)
2) Don't forget to add that additional script file into SIOC screator ...
3) For LVL CH LED in SIOC Creator, put completely random led numbers which are NOT used by your hardware (use high device numbers for example)
4) Apply the script in SIOC Creator
5) manually edit the jeehellware.txt file (it should be in hardware modules folder).
Find the LVLCH_LED variable in the jeehellware.txt and modify the script there:

Var XXXX , name LVLCH_LED, Link IOCARD_OUT, Device YYYY, Output ZZZZ //XXXX YYYY and ZZZZ will be determined by SIOC Creator
{
IF &LVLCH_LED = 0
{
&LVLCH_BAR = 0
}
ELSE
{
&LVLCH_BAR = 8
}
}
6) Recompile jeehellware.txt into jeehellware.ssi using SIOC tools I think it's in sioc config?).





Steps 5 and 6 will have to be done every time you make a change in SIOC Creator. I suggest you keep the modifications in a separate file so it's fast to copy/paste...

JL

Hello Jean Luc,

yesterday I made the update from 37.x to the latest 38.5 ... and just want to say THANK YOU for that brilliant work.

I am now able to use my old dual core AMD PC for both sides PFDs and NDs again, the displays are no longer sluggish, really nice!

One bug (?) I see: the bar under the ND always shows "TA only" even if I am in TA/RA mode.

Again, thanks a lot!

Hello, Jeehell is right TA only is not a bug A320 manual reports:

The TCAS has two modes of operation:
‐ TA/RA : This mode allows the display of all intruders
‐ TA : Can be selected by:
‐ The crew, on the ATC/TCAS panel, in case of aircraft degraded performance (engine failure,
landing gear extended), or when operating near closely-spaced parallel runways, or
‐ Automatically, if TA/RA is previously selected, and:
• The windshear  message is triggered
• The stall message is triggered
• GPWS messages are triggered
• Aircraft is below 1 000 ft AGL. Consequently:
‐ All RAs are inhibited and converted into TAs
‐ TA threshold is set to TAU ≤20 s, irrespective of the aircraft’s altitude
‐ No vertical speed advisories are indicated on the PFDs
‐ “TA ONLY” is displayed on the NDs.
If windshear, stall, or GPWS messages are triggered, or aircraft below 500 ft AGL, all the TCAS
aural messages are suppressed.

I wish to say a big thanks to jeehell for the great work in constantly updating this excellent A320 software.

Cheers

I had the same issue with the bird climbing and desending at crazy vs but i hit the ap to and fly manually a few thousand feet and she flys ok after that. I did a short test flight a few minutes ago from kmco to ktpa at FL090 and had no issues. The a/c did an ILS landing on runway 19 right but i got the tcas warning again with no aircraft in sight.

Hey JL

My FPS are locked to 30.
It is a departure route i've used many times before without any problems.


We have an Airbus that thinks it can climb like an F/A18 . :D

Greetings Daniel


For those havign issues with latest version:
What are your FPS ? try limiting to 30fps (using only the default FSX/P3D limiter, bot a third party tool).

thank you for putting this up. It is the same behavior I noticed. I haven tried reinstalling FSUIPC with no resolution. At least we know it is not an isolated issue! Perhaps something wring with the aircraft.cfg file?


I have fps set unlimited. At kmco 60fps plus without asn. With asn 48-73 max. The issue that i noticed with the update to 38.6 is on approach the tcas throws a traffic warning with no traffic in sight. I had the same issue with the bird climbing and desending at crazy vs but i hit the ap to and fly manually a few thousand feet and she flys ok after that.

I pasted the bin files in the nav folder on the client pc. For the external power make sure it is activated in the sim menu before turning it on. Once activated the korry will turn green and say "avail", push it and it will provide power for you to start batteries and apu. It is in the users guide under jeehells quic flight walk thru. You can also turn the batteries on and start the apu. It takes about 90-120 secs doing it this way.

What hardware do you have?

I tried that same config and had low fps with 6 monitors on 1 pc. Once a 2nd pc is used your fps will be alot higher. For now you can try to use pfd,nd, sd,ecam, mcdu and over head. See if that works. Should be do able until new pc comes.. maybe improve fps too.

2.) startup of FMGS starter warns me, to run unter admin privileges and does not fully startup all modules. As admin, it does...

adding this: I updated to B38.6 and now displays are more grey, seem to be dimmed. And the white screen is grey... strange. Wher in the manual can I find the solution?

BUT: if you once entered a wrong number and try to activate, then you cannot enter another serial untill you restart the program again.

Hi,
Flying today with B38.6 in bad weather. On approach I was not able to slow down the ACT. I managed with full speedbrakes to get the speed back to 220knt with Flaps1 but then having managed speed at 160knts it continued to apply some power (about 30 to 44%) and speed was not reducing even when I had gear down. I know the A320 is hard to slow down but do you experience the same problem ? I had not that behaviour before.
Thanks,

Generally, during the maximum turbulence, the speed is always slightly above. This is OK. "AT is "asymmetric" - that is, N1 increases faster and the slower reducing it - thereby on the approach speed of the turbulence is generally a little higher than the SPD Target"

I spent a lot of time while working on PIDs to improve behavior during turbulence.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=334&v=W8x8zfLdnJA

In general, the pilot should avoid turbulence. Especially heavy and severe turbulence ;-)
Turbulence in the FSX / P3D is a big problem. This is a problem for many addons.

You are right I did not experience any S-turn. I will disconnect AT next time. Also I maybe should not deploy spoilers in turbulence.

Hi community!

In case, you have similar problems:

Installed the latest B38.8 and the error message (system error 288 ) still occurred.
I found out, that the last update was not fully finished. There must be an additional download of some exe files after the update file (B38.8.exe) was downloaded. Retried it and then it was updating and the error vanished.

But there was still a problem with connectivity between FMGS server and the remote instruments right after an update.
I found out, that WideFMGSserver.exe on server pc and WideFMGS.exe on the clients have to be first deleted and then reentered in the firewall rules. After that, it works perfect again.

correct!

I also stopped the firewall and disabled a lot of unnecessary services and Windows system functions.

BUT.
When I do FMGS updates (frequently like now), i use the firewall, because the system goes to the web, and I want to avoid to catch any desease in my clean network :wink: Can recommend this to you too...

I would prefer to update from my instructor station as source, which is connected to the web and has a firewall to inside the sim network. Seems not to be possible.

Also there is at least one PC with sqwawk box and running and this one is permanently on the web!

Since you seem to be the only one with this issue, I can only think it's something on your setup...
Check firewall, antivirus, admin rights, reinstall, re-do the axis config from scratch...

Seems to have been something in the AP/FBW module that has been reset. Was showing "Select...".
After Selecting PA320 and fiddling with the sensitivities all is back to normal.

Odd... :-)

Short Notice...
The Flickering QNH came from a broke PSU in my Setup... change the Device and all works fine again! Sorry for this...
But maybe somebody can help me with the Script for the Brake Pressure Gauge with 3 Servos and a Servorcard from Opencockpits? :)

Looking forward
Cheers

Hi JL,

im am searching for an explanation for a strange behavior since days.

Again i see white FDs (FO and CPT) on a certain quadcore pc, even after complete reinstalling of W7x64 and FMGS B38.8, switching firewall off etc. All instruments work on this machine, except the FDs.
On other hardware all it works fine. As far as I remember, this came after an update to B38.8.

If I cannot solve this, i have to change the hardware. Should not be a problem, but i do not understand what this can be.
Any hints?

thank. Gu.
