RUNTIME ERROR issue

[alandyer]

James,

Most sims run FS, PM products and FS2Phidgets on seperate boxes.
You may notice that Project Magenta makes same recommendation even though their processes do not eat many CPU cycles or require much memory.

Bear in mind there is also FSUIPC thrown into mix.

I have run on single PC, but not for any great length of time.

How much run time are we talking about before you have to re-start ?

Alan.

I didn't address your question.
No, it not mandatory. Only recommended.

It could be as much as 15min..or sometimes 30 and without warning until you realize you no longer have throttle control.flaps, leds.
sometimes you get the dreaded DONG! sound letting you know it crashed or no sound at all (with no control of course)

Regards
James

I would recommend packing a parachute for your next flight.

Does MS-FS continue operating after "the dreaded dong" ?

[lineman55]

parachutes packed...

Yes FS does continue to operate perfectly except for loss of throttle..and such connected to phidgets

I'd suggest that you also declare an emergency to ATC and change to the appropriate squak code.


best,

Did we run out of suggestions on this issue?

[alandyer]

What version are you on now ?

[lineman55]

Hi Alan.
I have version 3.1.1

Listed in the library I have:
Phidgets20.DLL
Phidgets com library 207

I took a flight tonight from KJFK TO KBOS and it crashed 3 times.
The first error was the usual error listed in the beginning of this thread then
"error 0"
and then bac"k to the first error again.

Sometimes I find that my Outer Marker is listed as "disabled" when I go in to view how things are.When I do the TEST all lights fine.I then have to "enable" and save .
Sometimes if I go back to check..its disabled again! Yhought I might mention this also.

Can I get to you any more needed info?
Appreciate your support
James

James,

Do your marker beacon lights work on some approaches ?

Not sure if problem is unique to your set-up or if others are experiencing same thing.

Alan.
