GFIT long loading time

fsam

Hi Steve - this is what is noted in my 737_Options.ini:

[SDK]
EnableDataBroadcast=1
EnableCDUBroadcast.0=1
EnableCDUBroadcast.1=1

Ok, lets determine if this is with all aircraft or only PMDG. Can you load up the TBM930 in FS and click FS Default on the GIT MCP tab. Enable the MCP, quit GIT and then start GIT and see if the MCP works correctly.

Thx
Steve

Hi Steve, it's the same behaviour with other A/C too, have programmed Salty B747 and Fenix for example and GIT is starting more or less delayed or never. As advised actual with TBM930 it takes longer time again where GIT is waiting for simconnect. See log, nearly two minutes with only MCPPro assigned - seems to be not related to loaded AC:

11:21:03 Synchronising Switches & Selectors .....
11:21:03 Synchronising Switches & Selectors: Waiting for SimConnect .....
11:23:18 SimConnect: Event Received: Start
11:23:18 SimConnect: Event Received: Aircraft Loaded/Flight Loaded

Best regards

I think something else running in FS2020 is causing the delay, blocking the Simconnect Start event. For example it could be an add-on taking along time to compile.

I would enable the Simconnect console and log so you can watch and record what is going on. E.g. my simconnect.ini file:

[SimConnect]
level=Verbose
console=Yes
RedirectStdOutToConsole=1
;OutputDebugString=1
file=C:\temp\SimConnect%01u.log
file_next_index=5
file_max_index=9

located in:

Microsoft Store:
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\

Steam:
C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\


Devmode tools in FS2020 may also help you track down what is causing the delay.

Hi Steve, issued Simmconect.ini acc. SDK instructions and placed into LocalState directory, then logs were issued under different conditions and there are everytime the same behaviour: log stops during loading of GIT sometimes for 2 minutes, sometimes for longer or shorter time period, have attached the example for stops here but of course I have no idea what this means...

simconnect.ini reading stops at 497:

Are you saying Simconnect pauses on this line: < 497.35293 [327] ObjectData: RequestID=219 DefineID=1 dwSize=56

I need to see the events after the line > 527.86951 [328, 2]SubscribeToSystemEvent:EventID=16777220, SystemEventName="AircraftLoaded"

Thx

Hi Steve, sorry was a little bit "inoperative" last weeks, unfortunately I have not stored the rows you mentioned (timestamp 527 to 531) sorry about it, but in meantime I've found that if I leave AC at the same state as I start (e.g. engine running, APU off...) the loading time is acceptable, but whenever I shutdown the engine at the end of flight and start with engine running or vice versa a new session the loading time will be increasing or GIT will never load completely. Is there a routine which is checking the last state against the new start condition? And in general some time ago you mentioned a new GIT software development for MSFS, is this ongoing? ... of course I would pay for a new version, since we are using the actual modified GIT for a long long time.
Best regards Ralf

admin_pps

No it isn't checking any previous state. Can you confirm the question I asked previously?

Yes a new version is under development. Expect around the Summer.

Best wishes
Steve
