A320 FMGS beta 26

Hi jeehell, I was just wondering... I have 3 computers, I have 2 joysticks and both of them are on separate client computers. Its obviously possible to setup the joysticks individually on their separate computers, but is it possible to send their individual inputs to the main computer running flight simulator? (My client computers don't have Flight Simulator installed).

According to a post on airliners.net, if both pilots are using the sidesticks, then the inputs are added up (or canceled out if opposite inputs are input). You can lock out the other sidestick by pressing the red button. However, I don't quite see how it's possible to be able to model this in FS if you have 2 joysticks on the same machine. This is my argument based on authenticity. The second argument is a bit more practical. Simply put, my joysticks are old and only work via old game ports which windows 7 no longer supports and my other 2 computers recognise those old joysticks on XP no problems at all and I was kinda hoping it would be possible to get them to work over a network. I tried using FSRemoteJoy, however, I'm pretty sure that method will not work. I think your program has the potential to have this feature included although I'm not quite sure how difficult it would be to implement and I was kinda hoping it wouldn't be too difficult seeing as how it's already possible to run the various panels via a network.

Also, I installed v17.1 and I'm getting an error in a loop...

"Access violation at address 00562000 in module FMGS Server.exe. Read of address 0000000". I'm forced to either kill it through task manager or wait for it to kill itself. It happens as soon as I open the FMGS server window. I wasn't getting this error when I didn't have FSUIPC installed but as soon as I installed it and tried opening FSX, I got the error. Any ideas on how to fix this one? I think I was getting a similar problem on past versions but I somehow managed to rid myself of it but this time I'm at a bit of a loss and was hoping you could point me in the right direction.

Hi,

concerning the joysticks, for now it's not possible to use them over a network, and I'm not sure it is worth adding more strain to the network with such a feature. Did you consider a cheap gameport to USB converter? if you really need that option, it's not technically real difficult, but don't expect it in the next weeks. As for the dual inputs adding up yes it is modeled, in fact I no longer use FS to acquire joystick data, I get it straight out of windows system, so as easy as x+y.
Which probably brings an answer to your FMGS server error: did you notice the new FMGS config software? it has to be launched (and setup of the joysticks done) BEFORE you launch the FMGS server, otherwise you get this kind of errors.

Oh, ok, thanks. I guess it's time to try to get the adapters :).

Hi Jeehell

is there a way to merge PmSystem from Project Magenta with your add-on? Maybe through offsets?

Thanks for your work!! :)

Hi Ciccio,

No it's not possible, sorry.

Hi Jee ****
Maybe you have heard a lots of this type of "Congrats , good job" so let ad one more
: "Excellent job, congratulations and keep up the good work"

Im working with FSUIPC 3.98 / FS 2004 / Windows 7.

I have heard that windows 7 and Vista protects the program files folder and you need to use the Run as Admin feature to let fsuipc to work correclty. (ti is in the FSUIPC documentation for Windows 7 users)

I decided to reinstall FS2004 in C:/ root then launched FS, Fsuipc is running, launched the airplane then open the server and the overhead module , I made sure that all electrical is on and the ADIRS are aligned, but Im concerned with seeing that FMS Server still shows "Not connected to FSUIPC". and the rest of opened modules appears as Connected, also all the displays appears as black.

I have re read your procedure 5 times by making sure that overhead is providing electricity, aligned the ADIRS but it seems to be a fsuipc problem


Is there any work around for this?

Thanks in advance
Adonis

Hy at first you have done a great job but i have an problem. I start A320 server as it said in the manual the OVHD works but EWD PFD and ND are black and no mather what i do there is no picture. Excuse me for my bad English..

Hi Adonis,

Windows 7 is most probably not the source of your problem, I run it with both FSX and FS9 without troubles.
How many computers do you have?
When you say FSUIPC is running, what do you mean by that? as FSUIPC when installed is part of FS (I mean FS loads itself the FSUIPC dll).
Usually when you first start FS after installinf FSUIPC it asks you if you want to let that process run, did that happen?

You can also try to resintall FSUIPC...

Hi Shacy,

Did you start anything related to electricty on the OVHD panel?
You need to either:
-start the APU
-connect the EXT PWR (through FS modules menu) and switch it ON


JL

yes i have....i turn on the generators and it give me 29 volts and it works can i have all displays without enganging ovhd???

cheers
