MR1 B84 Now Available & New B84 Bug Thread

[de Lattre WGA 0]

For info, I am not using wide fs, and I do not have any fps prob on my computer, even with all slider maxed out and on adon scenery like the simflyers for example.Never the less, I always have a valid fpl in as2004, and the wind shift are mainly in climb, for now and very few in cruise, and completely erratic. While all winds for the trip are scheduled to be westerly for 60 kts, it appears to be fopr any reason some times at 140/60 kts, and then when changing stations, it come bac to normal in 2 or 3 hits, times, or 3 process, do not remember the word in english.For info here are the settings:********* FSUIPC, Version 3.201 by Pete Dowson *********User Name="Cyrille de Lattre"User

>Michael,>>In regards to the constant refreshes: did you have a flight>plan loaded?Yes, flight plan loaded but route-based wind smoothing disabled.The constant refreshes started after about 1hr 45 minutes into the flight. About to make another flight and will monitor to see if there is a pattern.-michael

>I have found a problem with FSUIPC communications where even>though FSUIPC is reporting that input was correctly received>(indicated by an updated timestamp value), it sometimes has>not yet finished reading in the new station values. Good detective work!After my last flight I was going to mention that the behavior was as if there were very frequent updates of the weather - wind velocity and direction were changing every 15-20 seconds despite my having a 20 minute update cycle. But then, it all smoothed out and the flight completed with no further wind shifts.>Please let us know if you have clearing wx and/or strange wind>patterns - are you using WideFS? I have had experiences with the repeated cycle of updates problem and update the occasional wind shift problem.I am running AS4 over the network to FS and using the most current version of FSUIPC and WideFS. As for frame rates, I have my system locked at 20. Except for overcast and other heavily-loaded cloud conditions - my frame rates remain at 15+. Descents through the clouds usually result in as low as 8.-michael

Hi,I did some flying with the latest build, but I still have some problems with 180 degree wind shifts. IAS dropping 50 knots and suddely increasing 50 knots or something like that.I don't load a flight plan into Active Sky because I don't use FS2004 flightplans. I only fly with PMDG737. How important is it to load a flightplan in Active sky? Is it normal to have wind shifts if I do not load a flightplan?P.S. Using VATSIM weather most of the time (does that matter?)Thanks for the great support!RegardsFloris Hartog

OK and I saw that you read Damian's latest post a little down the page. Keep feeding him the reports because I don't use WideFS.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Support

[JSkorna 137]

Hi Floris,VATSIM weather is just for departing and arrivial stations.The major wind shifts are something we are still working on.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Support

[Guest rellehenk]

Thanks JimStill a great program!

I'm not using nor ever have used WideFS, but have had lots of problems with clearing weather in MR1 B81 and B84.>If you try lowering some>detail settings (to get higher frames) do the problems become>less frequent? Your help confirming these findings is much>appreciated!Can you clarify a bit? I stay locked at 20. Do you want me to increase the lock to a higher value? Unlock frames completely? Is the problem triggered by FS not being able to meet the target FR or just by a actual low FR?Dave

Hi Damian,Glad you found an area that may be giving so many problems, for me as you know I have the cloud pops everywhere and I am using a widefs setup, I have the same problems when I run AS2004 on the same machine as FS.I will try and get back to you on whether lowering the detail reduces these issues.This is probably the reason I have to refresh while on the ground 2 times to get the correct temp to show up (sometimes it remains a incorrect temp).Thanks again for your effortsVincent

[Guest BernBear]

Damian,I am running AS2004 and FS on the same machine, no WideFS here.My framerate is locked at 20fps and usually hovers around 19, only occasionally dipping to about 16. I've tried cranking details way down to increase FPS, got up to almost 35 FPS, but was still in the clear ever 10 minutes over Africa, Central Europe and the US Northwest.Best RegardsMax (Bern, LSZB)http://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004betateam.jpg http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpg
