SA-WXR installed and running but how do you...

To the florian at addongauges.com

I think Ray said that was the one that we needed to use now.

Hi Trevor,

Here is his email address florian@addongauges.com

His support is not the best is it?

Cheers,

So do you want a little cheese to go with that wine? Just kidding.... Not good support after he gets your money....

Like the US and CDN Postal service I guess.... Better Late then never.. LOL

I received a licence to install SA-WXR on the same PC as that running PM thinking it would speed up the tilt actions programmed via FSUIPC.INI.

I'm surprised to report it hasn't made the slightest bit of difference. Each key press takes around 2-3 seconds before the ND display is updated to show the tilt value.

In computing terms this equates to eons! I wonder why it's so slow when all my other button commands via FSUIPC go through in a flash! :(

Ray, I would imagine the keysend is going fast, but SA_WXR is taking it's time to process the keysend.

Does that make sense? When i get mine working, I will let you know how slow it is.

Actually, sounds like packets getting sent on the network but no acknowledgement of receipt so that the next packet gets sent. Sounds like something is "holding" the LAN for a period and interfering with communications.

Thanks Trev. If you press F9 whilst SA-WXR has the focus the values change quite quickly so the communication is fine with everything on one PC. Actually with SA-WXR running on my laptop using the F9 key was still efficient.

The problem seems to be sending data to SA-WXR from a button on the FS machine via WideFS / the network, for it to process that data and to send the relevant info back via the same path to FS.

We all know FSUIPC/WideFS and probably the network comms is pretty efficient (otherwise WideFS would be affected) so it does point to processing within SA-WXR.

Florian is obviously skilled in creating such a program but I wonder if anything can be done to speed up the data flow? Pity really, it has a monopoly for this type of utility.
