New Version FS2Phidget not recognising connected Phidgets

Andy,

Of course, there's nothing wrong with placing in same folder.
Some of my best friends are Folder Minimilists.

Regards,
Alan.

Yes, thats me. (waving a guilty hand) I really despise the creation of needless folders on a perfectly good hard drive....

I had turned on the logging to see why I was getting the errors I was getting and forgot to log it down. (I keep a log of everything I change when debugging. Makes life MUCH easier...)

Alan,

In the second step i used the phidget 21 MSI Library, the new one.

Have suspicion that if older Phidget20 is not uninstalled then FS2phidget latches on to older version.

A quick poll: Who has latest Fs2Phidget up and running ?

[AndyT]

I have it running. It connects to FSX only after I close it and reopen it with FSX ALREADY running. It sees the phidgets but they do not work in FSX. I can not assign anything to them either. The ePhidget are assiginable but they do not change FSX either.

Could be offsets have changed?

Andy,

Sounds like you have the same prob as i did, follow the details of my earlier post. Uninstall all evidence of the FS2Phidget and all Phidget MSI libraries from the uninstall software sections of your control panel.

Then go to windows explorer and find the file FS2Phidgets and delete it, make sure however if you want to keep any variable you have created then remember to back them up in a different location.

Then install the new 21 MSI Library and the New version 4.3.0 FS2Phidget and see if that fixes the problem.

I only have the new one installed on this computer. Its never seen the other version. I know for certain that some of the offsets in FSX are different, so I'm going to be working on it from that angle to see if I get any results.

Interesting,

Let me know how you get on, i havent fully tested the new version yet so if there is anything i might encounter later, what you are trying might help. Good Luck

Hello,
Can the new libary also see "older" phidgets? I would like to install the FS2Phidgets 4.3 but my phidgets cards are all older than 1 year i think.

That should not be a problem.
