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

[Norbert-EDDV]

Hi Peter,
yes, this is the only adress which is working.
But I do not understand why Florian doesn't make any changes in his setup procedure.
Thanks
Norbert

Hi Ray,
thank you for this adress. It worked fine and now I just received the licence file.
Greetings

Hi Norbert,

That's good. Enjoy the radar!

Cheers,
Ray.

Hi Norbert,

probably he has other, more valuable, interests to persue than SA_Wxr, which is an "old product" by now.

It´s not good at all to stop activities (support) in the middle and still sell the product. May be he can´t do it by whatever reason. At least he should let us, his paying customers, know.

Best rgds

I've just sent an email to Florian asking him to answer the question on his forum regarding SA-WXR and FSX. He say's "it works with FSUIPC4" but I tried last night and SA-WXR couldn't link to FSX. So as far as I'm concerned it doesn't work. Maybe some parameters need changing?

If he persists in not answering questions publicly I'll ask him if he's interested in supporting his applicaton any more. To sell an application and not support it is not in the public interest. All it means is he can earn money with minimal effort.

I don't know of any reason why it shouldn't. I'll see if I can try it here, but I'm not in an easy position to do so right now due to interim testing and debugging changes. Maybe you could enable IPC read and write logging (FSUIPC's logging tab, left-hand side) and send me the log of it "not linking" please? Don't run any other FSUIPC clients, as I can't distinguish between them any more and the log would get too big.

Please be sure to close FSX before Zipping the log. Thanks.

Never mind -- I found a copy I could try on one of the machines which I could WideFs to FSX. I tried SA-WXR version 1.2.0.1, which didn't connect because it appears to be checking for version 3 of FSUIPC -- or maybe it doesn't like the version of FS it sees. Either way it is merely looping reading the FSUIPC and FSX version numbers (part of the FSUIPC_Open call).

Oddly the EXE which is Version 1.2.0.1 comes out of a Zip lnamed 1_2_2.

Is there a later version? Is there a place from which to download updates?

I'll chat to Florian about this in any case.

Regards

Pete

Hi Pete,

Thanks very much for looking into this. I have version 1.3.00 modified on 6 June 2006. I downloaded it from SimMarkets. I can send it privately if you wish.

I hope you have better success contacting Florian that I did.

Cheers,

I can't find a way to download updates without buying it again! Strange, you'da thought I'd known there was an update available somehow. Florian does chat with me sometimes but somehow "oh, is there a new version of SA_WXR out at all?" doesn't come up.

I can send it privately if you wish.

Yes please. no rush ... but I like to keep up to date. I do have a valid license, just no place to get the update that I can find!

I hope you have better success contacting Florian that I did.

We developers have our own ways. But, yes he must be really busy someplace -- he was offline most of the day. Maybe he's got a day job too.

Best Regards

Hi Pete,

Thanks ... Ray said he would too, but there's no harm in receiving two if you both get around to it! I can't find it anywhere on line. petedowson@btconnect.com.

I'm still waiting for Florian to get back to me about the checks it appears to be making, either on the FS or FSUIPC version, which are stopping it getting past the initial queries on FSX. Maybe he'll have a little time to look over the weekend.

Thanks,

Pete

Hi Pete,

I'm sending you v1.3 now. Hope you get it okay and manage to contact Florian.

Cheers.
