I do not enjoy stopping support from FScockpit.
Do not think of me as the bad person.

If by the end of next week, I have no real news from Majdan, following versions will no longer EVER work with FScockpit hardware. I am done giving away my free time to thieves.

You can always keep current versions, they are quite stable and usable in a sim. And you can put AGAIN pressure on Majdan, he still has a week in from of him.

Hi JL

You might have your reasons for this stand off but please do not let us current users suffer from that decision. A considerable sum has been invested and there must be a way for existing users to continue using the software while new ones don't until the issue is resolved.

Thanks

I will not answer to any request to allow the hardware to work for single users.
I will in fact not answer to any claims from anyone on this topic.

I have spent more than enough of my time for the community not to have to justify any of my actions.
When you invest money in a hobby, using freeware software not developped by a commercial publisher, you know at some point there is a risk of discontinuated availability.
And in our case, the versions until now still work, and will not cease to work.

Hi JL --- did a new fresh install of FMGS, latest beta on Windows 10.

Looks like plugging in any USB device and opening FMGS_Config will crash the config program -- I'm not too sure what is going on here. No conflicts, and plugging in directly to the computer -- FMGS_Config crashes.

Plugging into a power hub also crashes the program.

After the crash my USB peripheries (e.g. joystick) can no longer be discovered by Windows, and I need to do a hard reset. :-\

---

looks like it may be some hardware trouble, some of the USB ports on my computer are not functioning for some reason.

Ben, let me make a suggestion that will help. Do not use windows 10.

Those of us that have been around for awhile will all be using Windows 7 -64 bit only.


Windows 10 will be a problem for probably the next 2 years, and has absolutely no advantages.

Looks like there are no USB 3.0 drivers for my ancient motherboard for Windows 10, I guess we will have to stick with 2.0 in the mean time.

Windows 10 looks polished to me -- I am liking the features (I skipped Windows 8.x); its just hardware incompatibility on the software front; but I guess that will eventually catch up.

Hi Jeehell -- very strange behavior with FMGS_Config in Windows 10.

I have peripherals plugged into a hub connected to the server computer. FMGS_Config will only start when the Leo Bodnar usb board is disconnected. I can configure my devices by replugging in the leo bodnar card after fmgs_config has started.

The USb hub is powered. Any idea if this is a Windows problem, or a bug?

Thank you.

THis could be drivers bug, or a very different USB handling in windows 10... No idea...
Particularly, I suppose Leo Bodnar use a relatively old driver in his firmware... Maybe first check with him...

Hi JL -- the BU0836X interface shows up successfully in the "Setup USB Game Controllers" dialog box. It is only when it is plugged in and fmgs_config started do we get an error.

I will try and and do more testing on my side.

Thank you.

Brakes temperatures after landing JL -- 'BRAKES HOT' - Delay T.O. FOR COOL, after landing message, this is with temperatures going more than 800+ C, and climbing despite aircraft not moving, and brake pedals not depressed. Temperatures do not fall.

VNAV also does not calculate after TOD as mentioned in another thread.

And for some strange reason, outboard fuel in the right tank shifts to the left (second tank from the right) immediately after loading with TOPCAT. Fuel seems to be consumed from the right first during flight leaving an unbalanced aircraft.

How do you send the fuel data from TOPCAT to FMGS? Does TOPCAT communicate direct with FMGS or via P3D. I’m asking because I have problems with the fuel load when using Teamviewer. TOPCAT is maybe a workaround for this problem.
