• Hi David, Can I call on your offer of help please? I copied wideclient.exe and wideclient.ini from another PC and changed ClassInstance=1. With P3D running I started wideclient and it made an immediate connection. I then started GIT 64-bit but the same message appeared in the log about the inability to connect to FSUIPC.…

• Hi David, Thank you. But is it just a case of running WideClient on the P3D machine and setting the ClassInstance parameter in the INI to 1? If so I'm okay doing that. I'll try that tomorrow and come back if that isn't enough.

• Hi Steve, Thanks for the reply and the info. When Pete says he doesn't understand how something works I reckon it must be horrendously complicated. Given the workaround is to run WideClient but with a value set in the ini so it can run a second instance that seems the best solution for my admittedly modest requirements.…

• Morning Steve, I'm afraid I'm like a dog with a bone when I have a problem. I need to understand why GIT cannot connect to 64-bit FSUIPC when it can to 32-bit FSUIPC. You said yesterday "...because socket isn't available in FSUIPC5 because its 64bit". What is 'socket'? Is it a lua file or something else? If it's a lua file…

• Hi again Steve, I searched the topics for WideFS and this discussion seemed the most relevant. https://www.pollypotsoftware.org.uk/vanillaforums/discussion/comment/4882#Comment_4882 But reading the linked topic on Pete's forum it's really about how to run lua files on a client PC using WideClient. I have a lua script on a…

• Hi Steve, I've had WideFS installed for years. What file in particular does GIT need to establish contact? From memory I have wideserver.dll installed on the P3D machine and wideclient.dll installed on the client Presumably you run P3D v4 and have GoFlight modules so how do you overcome the problem of gitlua.lua not…

• Hi Steve, Regarding this "socket not found" error in my FSUIPC logs. As gitlua.lua is provided as part of the GIT software does it need a 64-bit lua driver in order for it to connect to FSUIPC? As you can see from my log it doesn't connect so any subsequent attempts via the GIT interface won't work. 45844 *** LUA Error:…

• Hi Steve, I spoke to Pete Dowson and he confirmed FSUIPC receives its data from SimConnect. So when I monitor 3367 that has come from FSUIPC via SimConnect. Pete reckons you should be able to retrieve the status of exits from SimConnect so I’m unclear why you can’t. Are you running P3D v4.x? If so and your FSUIPC5 logs…

• Steve, i should add I’ve had that error in FSUIPC for as long as I’ve had the PC. A year. Never gave it any attention as all my GoFlight kit always worked. Until now with this switch for the exits. I asked about the error in the FSUIPC log here and then it got very confusing when John Dowson pointed me to another topic…

• Hi Steve, I do have those files but despite that the FSUIPC5.log always shows a problem which I've never been able to fix. This is from the most recent log... 43781 Running in "Lockheed Martin® Prepar3D® v4", Version: 4.5.13.32097 (SimConnect: 4.5.0.0) 43844 Initialising SimConnect data requests now 43844 FSUIPC Menu entry…

• Hi Steve. Done that but still a problem with the IP address. I entered 192.168.1.114 but the log entry is 192.168.1.114:8385 and access still denied. Ah, looking in that config file I see that number relates to FSUIPCPort. Does that need changing?

• I googled that message and all references pointed back here. Reading one of them the discussion references DLL.XML so I checked mine. There were two entries, not one for the GIT dll. Presumably because uninstalling and installing a new version created a duplicate. I removed the duplicate and fired up P3D and GIT. Still the…

• Steve, Can't follow your last comment, sorry. Yes, I have restarted GIT but despite trying all options the LED will not come on whether exit 1 is open or closed. Are you basing this on theory or have you coded it as I have and assigned it to a switch? Just to confirm I want LED to come on when door is open and go off when…

• Surely greater than zero? But setting that still won't turn the LED on when the door is open and offset 3367 shows 1 when monitored and displayed in P3D title bar. Is there a way of checking this procedure is reading that offset correctly? Can it be displayed at all? Also added Start procedure just so you can check it's…

• Hi Steve, Installed new version and selection of FSUIPC type now available. The critical line is Bespoke Var 0 = ReadMemUB(3367). However, despite assigning the T8 switch to Bespoke Var0 whilst the pax door opens the led status doesn't change. Do we need a condition setting? 0 = both exits closed. 1 = Exit1 open. 2 = Exit2…

• Thanks very much Steve. Uninstalling now. More to follow soon...

• Hi Steve, I'm struggling. I've created a new Bespoke Event and named it Start. I then select Bespoke Var0 from the Lvars box and press Set. It prompts me to enter a numeric value. Doesn't seem logical when I look at your code above. I remove that entry. If I select Bespoke Var0 and then press Set= a message appears saying…

• Thanks Steve. I shall try that tomorrow and report back.

• Hi Steve, Thanks for finding the problem and suggestion. Could you talk me through the buttons to press to create a Bespoke Event please? I'm assuming those at the bottom-right of Detective but not sure which.

  in Exit Lights won't illuminate Comment by RayProudfoot October 2019
• Thanks Steve. I didn't want to point the finger but that seems the only reason the LED won't illuminate. I even monitored the FSUIPC offset 3367 and it shows 1 when exit 1 is open, 2 when exit 2 is open and 3 when both are open. Hope that helps. Incidentally Steve, you need to amend the link to this topic sent in the…

• Hi Steve. There is no Lvar for the aircraft exits. They operate purely on Shift+E followed by a number, 1 for the first exit and 2 for the baggage exit. As you list Exit1 - Exit9 in Events I would expect that would trigger the LED. Any idea why so many commands would be triggered by Shift+E as shown above?

• Steve, I reverted to a default aircraft in P3D v4.5. The Commander, to try and get the LED on the T8 to illuminate when a door is opened. I just can't get it to work. I've programmed a bespoke event to toggle the left exit. Shift+E 1. The door opens but the LED does not come on. Can you please explain how to make such a…

• Steve, could you please confirm how you would Program two T8 switches to operate Exit.0 and Exit.1. Just want to check I’m doing it correctly. Thanks.

• Hi Steve. I have tried that numerous times. I’ve spent close to three hours trying to solve this problem which is ridiculous considering how simple the action is. I’m wondering if it’s related to TOGGLE EXIT rather than EXIT_OPEN and EXIT_CLOSE which don’t exist. I’ve programmed other actions for this aircraft and they’re…

• A bit more info. I managed to get the larger baggage door light to work but only when Exit1 is used for the light status. I can’t get the smaller door light to work at all. Is it possible Carenado have messed up these exits inside the mdl file? There are two exits - 0 and 1. 0 is the one controlled by Shift+E and the 1 by…
