Noob needs help setting up PSXT

[fatcharlie 0]

Hiya.

Thanks for the hard work on our behalf, Nico - much appreciated.

 

I have searched the Forum for information on my problem but have been unsuccessful in getting a solution.

OK I have a problem in that I can't get PSXeeconTraffic to see my P3Dv4.2 simulator. I'm sure it's my mistake but I just cannot see where I've made it. I've been looking and re-installing for two days but still can't see.

Setup:

Machine 1 windows 10 - ip add: 192.168.1.166 (localhost in RealTraffic)

Running:
- RealTraffic
-PSXT (32 bit)

Machine 2 Windows 7 - ip add 192.168.1.152

Running:
- P3Dv4.2

I have:

1) Installed Realtraffic

2) set it up as per section 3.2 in the PSXT Manual:
"Just to be sure: Broadcast traffic .., Disable PSX .., Show GND TFC and Show AIR TFC should all be checked.
Auto select GND/AIR TFC should be unchecked.
Keep localhost as Simulator Host, or fill in the IP-address of the PC running RealTraffic."

3) Installed PSXT

4) Modified simconnect.cfg:

[SimConnect]
Protocol=IPv4
Address=192.168.1.152
Port=29764
MaxReceiveSize=8192
DisableNagle=1

5) Put this file in the PSXeeconTraffic folder (i.e. moved it from \PSXeeconTraffic\simconnect\ to \PSXeeconTraffic\)

6) Modified SimConnect.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>

<SimBase.Document Type="SimConnect" version="1,0">
  <Descr>SimConnect Server Configuration</Descr>
  <Filename>SimConnect.xml</Filename>
  <Disabled>False</Disabled>

  <!-- global IPv4 Server: for PSXseeconTraffic-->
  <SimConnect.Comm>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <Protocol>IPv4</Protocol>
    <Scope>global</Scope>
    <MaxClients>64</MaxClients>
    <Address>192,168.1.152</Address>
    <Port>29764</Port>
    <MaxRecvSize>8192</MaxRecvSize>
    <DisableNagle>True</DisableNagle>
  </SimConnect.Comm>

</SimBase.Document>

7) Put this file in:

C:\Users\Roger\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4

8) Installed AI aircraft on the P3D computer - followed the instructions in the FLAi Operations Centre (basically clicked 'UPDATE' twice, having waited till it'd finished the first pass)

I think that's everything!

Then:

1) Start P3Dv4.2 on 192.168.1.152 - ensure traffic is all 0% and time is System time. Ensure vehicle is an aricraft (Beech baron)
2) Start Real Traffic
3) Start PSXT (32bit)

Result:

1) PSXT connects to Real Traffic and I get a yellow box (presumably no data because RT is waiting for a position from P3D)

2) PSXT fails to connect to P3d - just keeps repeating the message " Waiting for FlightSimulator to connect ..."

3) Logfile:

Forgive the length of the post but I wanted to try to include all relevant data.

Hope you can help,

Thanks,

Roger.

Hi

In this line I see a comma instead of a dot:

<Address>192,168.1.152</Address>

Ah. Thank you Nico.

If I may be allowed to express myself for a short moment...

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Forty-two years ago when I was a student I made a similar mistake by putting a capital 'O' instead of a zero in a program I was writing.

Those days you used to type up your program on a punch card machine - it would punch out a load of cards, one for each line of code.

My prog had about 500 lines, so 500 punch cards.

Each evening I would give them to the technician who would run all the students' progs overnight (saving daytime use of the mainframe for _important_ people), each following morning I'd receive a printout of the prog's output. Each morning I received a blank piece of paper. No time on the mainframe to de-bug.

It was so frustrating - it finally took a friend to point out the error - it was so traumatic I vowed I would never again make such a mistake.

I guess, at least it took me 42 years!

I will be able to re-test tomorrow afternoon - will let you know.

Thanks, Roger (schoolboy error!)

Ha ha, yes I know, I was a student too 47 years ago... working with punch cards at a mainframe. Every syntax error in a run costed an extra day delay.

Well, with a dot instead of a comma in the correct place - it works fine! Thanks Nico for a great program and for not ribbing me mercilessly over such an error, lol!
