Thanks for replying. I have changed the setting and it has made no difference. I'm seeing roughly the correct amount of traffic for the airport but it is all GA aircraft no airliners

 

Hi all, I'm now to MSFS 2020 and have been trying the Live traffic option out but it's only spawning GA aircraft no airliners even in locations like Heathrow and Gatwick. Any thoughts on this? Thanks.

Get 'iobitUninstaller' from iobit site (google it). This program will uninstall programs AND the registry files it installed (just put ck mark by 'Remove incidental files' option). You can also choose to create a restore point before uninstall. Nothing beats it. It's free too. It might nag you to upgrade but it will still work even if you say 'No Thanks'. You will never suffer or get stressed when all you want is to uninstall a program. It will list everything that is installed on your PC. It just works.

Worked brilliantly ! Thanks !

Go into Control Panel/Administrative/ADD/REMOVE Programs and remove each part of FSX...Acceleration, SP2 and SP1 if no Acceleration is installed, then FSX. When you click on remove, it's the same as uninstall.

 

Thanks for replying ! I have already removed SP1, SP2, and Acceleration. Still nothing. I can’t get the FSX SDK to uninstall either. I’m completely stumped.

Hi again all. I have been trying to uninstall FSX (Boxed) for over an hour. The "Installation Wizard" appears, the bar gets to 50% then it closes leaving FSX installed. I have read a post about getting the installer to run fine after an uninstall ( https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?315761-This-needs-STUCK-TO-THE-TOP-Fixing-FSX-errors-during-reinstall-on-windows-10) but didn't know if this would work for me. Any suggestions please?

Sorry folks one last question... Having sorted the original stuttering issue, I purchased Active Sky 16 and surprise surprise the stuttering is back. I have made sure there is an exclusion in the anti-virus for the AS16 program folder. And tried removing all my addon sceneries just to see if it helped, as I expected it did not. Any suggestions ?

Thanks for all the replies everyone ! I first humoured Skywatcher12 and removed FSUIPC which didn’t have any effect but thank you for the suggestion. I then tried adding exclusions to my Antivirus which has thankfully removed the stuttering ! Thank you all !

I know this has been put on here many times but I have tried many of the solutions in the forums and have got nowhere so just wanted to see if anyone has any other suggestions.

 

In a nut shell every couple of seconds I'm getting a 1-2 Second stutter where the sim drops to around 10-15 fps from my usual 35 or so. I have no intention on wanting a better FPS I just want to try and get that stutter to go. This is usually more at larger airports like Charles de Gaulle (LFPG) but it does happen every now and then at smaller airports like Cardiff (EGFF) and Bristol (EGGD). I do not have AI installed and I have removed Simlink and GSX as I no longer use them just in case they were effecting the sim but it hasn't helped much.

 

Could this be down to the scenery loader ? I have implemented some of the advice from the following thread:

https://kostasfsworld.wordpress.com/fsx-software-and-hardware-guide/

Including the "FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=0.15" tweak but with 0.20 not the .15. Could this be part of my issue ? I was having this problem before implementing this tweak.

 

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated !

I have taken the line out and run a log again and found that "DspShow" present in the "Battery1_on" and "Battery2_on" functions was also causing an error. I have taken this out as well and it is working fine now !

 

Thank you all for your help !

Is what I'm getting from the log. But I'm not really sure how to use the logging functions in FSUIPC.

Thanks!

I have tried taking out the sleep line and it still only runs the "Battery_1_On" command not both. There is nothing in the LUA I have taken the functions from to do with both betteries only the "Battery_BOTH_on" command, which only runs the first half of the command.

 

Thanks!

Thanks for replying, I have replaced the "_sleep()" with "ipc.sleep(200)" but this still does not work. Thanks for your help!

Are you using LINDA? Your description and those links suggest you may be taking a LINDA file and trying to use parts of it in Lua scripts invoked directly FSUIPC. This probably won't work for all sorts of reasons. You need to decide whether you want to use LINDA or Lua programs invoked from FSUIPC button mappings. You probably can adapt some of what's in that Airbus file to use without LINDA but you need to know what you're doing.

 

The files I believe are LINDA but following the post about the LUA scripts. I have got 90% of the functions I need working. I am only struggling with ones that state "Both". such as the ones for the Batteries:

 

function Battery_BOTH_on ()

Battery1_on ()

_sleep(100,200)

Battery2_on ()

end

 

function Battery_BOTH_off ()

Battery1_off ()

_sleep(100,200)

Battery2_off ()

end

 

this only sets battery 1 to on not 1&2.

 

Any advice ?

 

Thanks for the information. Forgive me if I'm being stupid here, I'm just trying to get my head around this as I'm just trying to smooth our the sim as I keep getting a stutter every few seconds.

 

This is a screen grab from the task manager with just FSX and the Task Manager running and no Affinity set for FSX. The bulk of the work is going through "CPU6" according to my Task Manager. So I'm assuming that CPU6 is the same as thread 6 ?

Hi all, just a quick question. Why is it that some STARs rout you near to an airport such as the HEME1B for Birmingham, and some take you direct to the airports Navaid such as the BRI1C at Bristol and the CDF1A at Cardiff. There is probably a simple reason but I can't find anything about this.

 

I don't fly online or with FSX ATC in the AS A320 so I am trying to figure out how to program the flight plan in to use the BRI1C and CDF1A but this seems to cause an unusual loop in the flight plan which I know does not happen in real life as I fly into these airports regularly returning from holidays.

 

Is there a specific way this is programmed, or are the aircraft vectored from the final waypoint of the flight plan ?

 

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for replying, I used:

 

http://store.fsxtimes.com/cal-cam.php

 

To calculate the Mask Number. I am running with an AMD Ryzen 5 3600X CPU with hyperthreading enabled. What setting would you recommend trying with the Affinity mask ?

Hi all I know there's hundreds if not thousands of threads across the various sites about CFG tweaking but I just wanted to try and clarify a few things for myself as I'm seeing so many differing opinions and answers..

 

I know FSX was designed to use just a single core for the bulk and then spread some scenery loading to the other physical cores. However I have noticed that many posts say that FSX should primarily be using Physical Core 1 for the bulk work but I have noticed that mine does not. Mine runs mainly through physical Core 4 or Core 6 as I have Hyperthreading enabled on my system. I'm assuming this does not matter but just wanted to check.

 

The second is about FSX' ability to use Hyperthreading. once again many threads with many differing opinions. I have the common

 

[JOBSCHEDULER]

AffinityMask=3903

 

Within my CFG file if I'm not mistaken this mask should stop FSX from using Physical Core 4 but allow it to use the other 5 physical cores and there Non-Physical HT counterparts if FSX can:

 

 

Even with this mask FSX still uses physical Core 4 is that supposed to happen ? Probably nothing wrong here as FSX runs just fine and I am able to get a smooth 38-40FPS using this mask but just seemed odd that no matter what I do it still uses Core 4 for the bulk but I can see it spreading some of workload out evenly to all other cores inclining the Non-physical HT cores.

 

Is anyone able to clarify any of these for me please ? like I said I'm not getting any issues in game just wasn't sure what to believe as there so many opinions out there.

 

Thanks !

Question: Have you exited the sim cleanly after making the assignment changes? This is when those changes are saved. So if you crash the sim after making changes, they won't be saved. Another possible problem is if the fsx.cfg file is in some write-protected folder, though that's less likely in FSX.

 

I am exiting the sim using the "End Flight" option, however with the Aerosoft A320 the sim sometimes crashes. When it does not crash, the settings stick but they revert to default after a CTD. The CTD happens about 50% of the time with the AS A320 and may not happen for 2 or 3 flights then suddenly it will happen on "End Flight". FSX has full access to files and folders on my system, it is run as admin by default.

Hi all, I have probably missed a thread on here already covering this so sorry if I have, but I have been racking my brain to try and figure out how to stop FSX reassigning my joystick controls when the sim exits.

 

I have removed all button commands for my Joystick(s) with in the default FSX control settings as I use FSUIPC. How ever when I fly my Aerosoft A320, 50% of the time the sim crashes on exit which is known to happen. When I load the sim again the next time, the FSX controls are all reassigned to the default state meaning I have to go though and remove them all again. Which then conflicts with commands sent via FSUIPC.

 

I've seen a thread with something similar to this but was not sure if it was referring to this kind of issue. If someone can please offer me some assistance with stopping this from happening, id really appreciate it, Many Thanks !

Thanks all ! Has worked brilliantly !

Thanks for the reply both, below are the graphics and scenery settings from the options within FSX:

If you would like I can find the lines in the CFG file. Thanks !

Hi all, I have just installed FSX SE on my new system and have set it up using the same settings that were on my old one just to give me a bench mark before I customise them and I have noticed that the sky is rending in blocks instead of a smooth grade from light to dark. I initially thought that it might be the lens flare but this doesn't seem to have effected this when I switch it on and off:

 

 

The image isn't the best as I have had to crop and drop the quality but it is good enough to see what I am referring too. If anyone could offer any information or solutions they would be greatly accepted ! Thanks !

Hi all, I know that there’s various ways of running FSX over 2 monitors. I have a MSI Radeon RX 5600 GPU which allows me to use AMD Eyefinity and span across the 2 displays as if it was one (3840x1080) but I don’t like the fact that the centre of the screen is now on the screen bezel and cant find away of moving the centre to the left so the centre of the left monitor is looking forward and then the right screen is spanning to the right providing peripheral view to the right. Either way I gave up with that thought so was just trying to add an additional view on to my right hand monitor and the resolution of the extra view window is magnified as if it won’t provide a 1920x1080 resolution and as such everything in that window is blurry. Any thoughts please ?

Hi all, Not sure if this is the best place to ask but does anyone know where I might be able to find some Airbus style push switches like the ones found on the overhead panel ? I have been looking around but can’t find much in terms of Airbus components. Thanks.

I've been messing round with the FSUIPC and Lua files for the Aerosoft A320. I have got some functions to work but the majority aren't working, I am doing the same for each but have hit a road block as to why some aren't working and some are. I know that the toggle functions are a bit inconsistent in working so have been using the "On", "Off" functions and the "Set" option for the Lua within FSUIPC but even this is not working for additional Lua at this point.

 

This is the link to the file I have been using to create the lua file(s): https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/539164-aerosoft-airbus-a3xx-professional-v18-23-jan-20/

 

And have followed this process: https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/140328-as-a320-key-mapping-with-fsuipc/

 

Any help please folks ! Thanks !
