Hi again,

can you make sure you have hardwareconnect.exe running? I think it's your problem right, because I think I forgot to put it to run automatically when complexjoy is used.

@Stefan: run the starter again, it will ask to update. After update is done, before launching again the software, you have to edit the starter.ini file and put "yes" (without the quotes) at the line "HardwareConnect" line. Then when you run the starter again all should be fine.

@Leonidas: I updated the CPflight module, now the glare wings should work (except the AUTOLAND indicator which is not yet implemented in my software). Update is done automatically when running the starter.

Cheers,
JL

Hi JL,

question regarding the updater: Does it mean, that all the PC's need to be online? At least the PC running the server? Since non of my Sim PC's are online.

Rob,

if you want to use the updater feature, all PCs need to be online to be sure you download all files. Otherwise, I maintain the full pakcage in parallel to make sure it is always up to date. The difference with the updater is that you don't have to go through the setup again, and you will download only the required files, so in overall it is much faster/easier.

Hi JL,

thanks for the update which I installed. I am currently setting up the detent positions again. It looks like if you have changed something there: When I move down to REVERSE, the value goes now instantly from 0 to -65535. But with this behaviour I have no chance to submit any value between these two for REV IDLE: will be having 0 for IDLE and -65535 for MAX REV

Thanks
Stefan

Thanks! That made it... EWD and joystick axis are fine now It's great that I can work with the reverser function and the idle detent on the Saitek Throttle now!

I will need to do some more flights for testing of course, but this is what I found so far:

- ACARS Weather request is working fine again
- Problem with missing T/C on MCDU seems to be gone
- Have not got GPWS callouts during final
- "Not for commercial use/not for training" - is this coming from FMGS?
- Seem to have heavier network load on FS PC which makes it stuttering, made a hard landing Will do further tests

Maybe it would be an idea to be able to enter the detent positions from the configuration module also in an editable text file? I don't know how many times I have defined the positions today That would make setup also easier for future upgrades...

I think I need to progress with my project and buy new PC(s), the current ones are getting really slow now.

Thanks for your great work!
Stefan

Hi JL
Is FCU software necessary in order for the CPFlight FCU to run? I think not. Please send me the CPFlightModule.ini because is empty!
The plans I saved from PILOTSRTE folder are useless with this version?

[jeehell]

the ini file should have this inside:

[FCU]
ComPort=5
CPT_EFIS=yes
FO_EFIS=yes
CPT_WING=yes
FO_WING=yes

And you do not need to run the software FCU. Also, old routes are no longer recognized, you need to make new ones.

Hi all,

A small update is available fixing the starter tool which took a lot of CPU by itself.
