That’s correct. The client is connected as it will be when running normally, however you are testing from the client side connection onwards. If this is all running smoothly you know that everything on the client side is happy and there’s nothing on the client side that would cause any delays or stutters.
Then you run the test from the server side. If that’s ok and smooth as well then you know Opus server and client, your client sim, and your network are fine. That just leaves the position update events issued by the server side sim itself. You know if they are smooth then there’s no reason why the client shouldn’t be smooth. However, if you see stuttering then it must be down to non smooth position updates from your server side sim. Regards Stephen

sounds fine to me. The max rate will also depend on your cpu etc.. so once a max has been achieved the slider will not increase the rate any more. As long as it’s smooth with no lag when you hit that pause key. Do the same test for the server side. If that’s ok then it’s all down to how smoothly your flying sim issues position updates. You know Opus and your client sim are capable of processing and displaying them smoothly if they are issued smoothly.

It is a bit hard to describe the smoothnes of the Client test. I see no stutters or skipping of scenery, but I do find the roll and pitch movements during the test more....eeeeh jerky describes it best I guess....than during a normal flight.Is that jerkyness normal for this test? ps thx for taking the time ps I am using FSX Steam not P3D and I use an old version OPUS FSI (4.73.4) (I have not updated to version 5 because new installations and upgrades somtimes cause more/new problems that require more trouble shooting time than I have) |

And when we are talking about lag we are talking about lag in the aircrafts motions stopping instantly or not right? (The Cleints flight instruments still move after the aircraft has stopped during the Client test, so they do show lag.)

Hi Stephen
Coming back to P3D4 and trying to set up OpusFSI LiveCamera on my networked system which is a server with one monitor and a client with three monitors. This all worked beautifully in the distant past before I dispensed with P3D. I have successfully created an aircraft panel view (moved and zoomed in Opus) as a default view on the server. However, for the life of me I cannot recall how, nor manage, to create three windowed scenic views on the client monitors. Clearly it's a serious senior moment and I would appreciate some guidance. Guess I'm looking for a "Quick Guide to Setting Up Windowed Forward and Side Scenic Views on a Client with Three Monitors" or some suggestions on how to use the examples in Live Camera documentation. Many Thanks in Advance (and I see from the forum that your support continues to be as quick and responsive as ever. Awesome job over many years!!!) Regards from Melbourne, Australia Aussibob

Hi,
I would suggest you upgrade to the latest OpusFSI v5 release if using P3D v4 as there has been many changes. Windowed views of course have to be defined within the aircraft CFG file so they are more difficult to create. The CFG file is only loaded on start up or when a new (completely different) aircraft type is loaded. Best read through the section on Windowed Views in the Live Camera manual and start off simple. Stephen

Hi Stephen
Thanks for your reply. A bit more information
Running P3Dv4 and OpusFSI v5 on Server and Client In accordance with Getting Started - Networks PCs, Sharing and Security Permissions for Everyone and Authenticated Users checked correct on the Server and Client for all relevant drives and folders (probably done way more than actually required) . Additionally have ensured no Firewall and AV down on Server and Client. Have also Read the "Live Camera Interface and especially section on Windowed Views to ensure that correct procedures used. For what it's worth I uninstalled/reinstalled the 4 legacy Simconnects and made sure that the P3D4 argument was used with FSISERVER.exe (I assume it is not necessary on FSICLIENT.exe since you do not mention it). As well as this, the network is operating properly and files can be moved around the network. I can even manually edit P3D4 "aircraft.cfg" files on the Client from the Server PC. Despite all this still no joy with creating windowed views on the Client. I'm coming to the conclusion that even though I get green connection lights on the FSIServer and FSIClient panels something is preventing Live Camera from moving and zooming the view (2D Panel at 100% transparency) on the Client - absolutely nothing happens. Possibly relevant: When I click "Cameras" > Select Computer System > Pick my Client System and Select OK I get the following Error Message "Opus FSI Server - Camera Management Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately. Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.

Some Progress - Have been able to create forward, left and right views for all aircraft types on the client PC. This is confirmed by CameraDefinitions 899 990 991 and 992 in the various aircraft.cfg's. They do not appear "automatically" when I start P3D4 and run the FSISERVER and FSICLIENT but I can bring the views up manually and undock/move to the correct monitor. They still need some further editing to line up/display correctly. It's late now so more work on this tomorrow evening.

whoops... already posted a fix in the new beta to above problem. Reported it in wrong topic but is also posted it in Announcements.
I’ve moved the posts into this topic.
Make sure your created views are assigned assigned to the relevant aircraft or All Aircraft. Stephen

Hi Stephen
Still concerned that my OpusFSI installation is not performing as expected - I decided to start over by (1) deleting all cameras in the Camera Management on Server and Client, (2) removed Camera Definitions 899 990 991 992 from aircraft.cfg's by unselecting Live View and Live Camera in the Configuragtion panel, (3) Manually deleting all .CAM files in the OpusFSI v5 installations on Server and Client, (4) Installed the OpusFSI BETA that you provided. With that done and wanting to create three windowed views on my Client monitors I started by 1. Configuring FSISERVER and FSICLIENT for Live View / Live Camera, server address etc. 2. Running P3D4 as ADMIN with windowed displays on Server and Client. Aircraft selected was Piper Cub so I got identical displays of Cub on both PCs. 3. As ADMIN ran FSISERVER.EXE P3D4 on Server and FSICLIENT.EXE on Client 4. Selected "Cameras" and in Camera Management Panel and selected the CLIENT Computer System 5. Selected "Create" and checked "2D Cockpit" in the Box that popped up, and Clicked OK This brings up (a) Cub 2D cockpit on the SERVER monitor and (b) the Camera Editing Box. Nothing changes on the CLIENT monitor (it remains a 3D view). Thought this was a bit odd since P16 of the Live Camera guide says ".... camera is created or edited on the simulator's main display window (or on the client systems main display when editing a client camera). Also I recall that previously (quite a while ago - and I wouldn't bet my life on it!!!) while the editing was done from the Camera Editing Panel in the Server's window the changes were reflected in views on the Client's display. 6. Working on the SERVER PC hit SHIFT + 1 to get rid of Cub panel and leave just the Forward view 7. Because a Global View is required for the "Panoramic Display", ensured that "All Aircraft Types" is showing, Changed the View Name to Forward, and selected "Windowed View". No changes needed to the forward view so clicked OK to save the view. 8. Cloned and edited the Forward view to produce Left 40 degrees and Right 40 degrees views ending up with three 2D windowed views showing for "all aircraft types" for the CLIENT Computer System in Camera Management I think my work flow is correct to this point as Camera Management shows three 2D Windowed views called Forward , Left40. Right40 and Camera Definitions 299 990 991 992 are present in aircraft.cfg's on the CLIENT. However, This gets me right back to the point (above) where I deleted everything and still nothing works as expected when I re-start P3D on both PCs, run FSISERVER and FSICLIENT and click "Cameras". From memory, I expected (1) The Forward (no panel) view and two small views to appear automatically on the CLIENT's main monitor (2) having to Change Vehicle to to change the views (3) Having to undock the small views and move them to the left and right screens, resizing as necessary. What I get is: Default aircraft 3D Panel with default forward view on CLIENT main monitor, and Default aircraft 2D Panel with default forward view on SERVER with three small views all titled "OpusFSI External View" (when you right click on them); also the Camera Management box Clearly something is not right - I have read and re-read the guides and cannot find where I might be going wrong or what I have to do. Where do I go from here?? |

First concentrate on being able to edit VC and 2D cockpit views on your client system.
The editing should be reflected on the client system's main display with no XYZ PBY changes on the server. I have tried VC and 2D view editing on the client with the Piper Cub selected and all seems to be as it should. I did have to increase the motion slider a notch or two but Pitch changes are very noticeable with even just one notch of sensitivity. So concentrate on getting the view edit changes being reflected on the client display first and move on from there. Stephen

Hi Stephen
Was kinda hoping that you might have some idea as to why the camera creation and editing is not being reflected on the client's main monitor and maybe some suggestions about fixing it. That is the real sticking point and I have just tried the process again with the same result - nothing happening on the client. I think I have the methodology down pat. Checked sharing and permissions again - solid. Run sfc /scannow on both PCs to check system integrity - no problems found. No AV and no firewall to interfere. I'm at a loss - Should I uninstall and re-install OpusFSI?

I do. As it works perfectly on the server-client P3Dv4 system I set up here I can say its not a software issue within OpusFSI. Editing VC or 2D cockpit views on the client changes the client display as expected. I have repeated the exercise many times now. With the client system selected, editing views works fine (client connected to its local P3Dv4 sim).
You should double check the Config dialog on your client and make sure the sim folder has been identified and the correct sim type has been enabled. Otherwise it may have reverted to a 'No Connection' type of client in which case its not actually connecting to your sim at all. Also double check that Live View and Live Camera is enabled. Also have a quick check of the Live View Test operation, first run it on the client and then run it on the server end. The displayed view should change smoothly on the client sim. Finally when editing try moving the eye point with both VC and 2D cockpit modes selected within the OpusFSI Camera Edit dialog. Of course, try increasing the sensitivity slider within the OpusFSI edit dialog. Pitch changes (using the OpusFSI arrows) should be very noticeable. Stephen N.B. Provided the client is connected to its sim (not running in No Connection mode), you have selected the client system, and are editing a view within the OpusFSI Camera Edit dialog, then all use of the OpusFSI arrow keys within the Edit dialog will alter the client display. All eye point changes (requests) are sent to the client and performed by the client. You must be operating in the correct sim mode on your client and you should always perform a Live View Test before camera creation and editing. |

of course, make sure you do NOT have any other add on software installed which is also trying to control the sims eye point.
There must not be any other conflict - only one package can be allowed to adjust the eye point in the sim. This includes any other camera add on or motion simulator that may be controlling the sims eye point. The Live View Test MUST be performed and confirmed working before editing cameras. Stephen

Just ran Live View Test on the Client - all the action took place on the SERVER'S main view. Then ran test on the server and again all the action was on the server. I am running no other camera add-on. Opus configuration on both server and client is OK. Time to do the uninstall.

You have some serious set up problems if running LV Test on the client alters the servers display. There should be NO connection between the client and the servers sim at all. Certainly it cannot work that way through OpusFSI.
Have you installed OpusFSI v5 and P3Dv4 on your client PC? There must be NO connection between client and server sims. So check that is so. No SimConnect connection, no wideview connection, none whatsoever. In fact your client should be able to operate as a stand-alone OpusFSI Server, just as the main system does, and in total isolation of the Main system (no lan link). Then on the client PC you run FSICLIENT.EXE P3D and identify the CLIENT’s local sim install folder. You then make the OpusFSI connection to the main OpusFSI (server) System. Then you run LV Test on the client. Only the client display should change ! You should set up as per the above first. LV Test on the client should NEVER have any affect on the main server system as the two (client and server) sims are totally independent. Stephen

Thanks for sticking with me on this issue.
I have OpusFSI v5.27.1 BETA installed on Server and Client (have not done the uninstall/reinstall yet) I have P3D4 Professional v4.5 installed on Server and Client The local P3D4 Installation Folder on client and server is correctly specified in Opus Server and Client Configurations. In both cases it happens to be "G:\Prepar3d v4" I have four Simconnect Clients installed on the Server and Client PCs including the latest v10.0.61259.0. I saw somewhere that you provide a simconnect.msi but I could not find it and in any case I thought it was now taken care of by the P3D4 argument. I have paid versions of Pete Dowson's FSUIPC v5 and WideFS v7 on both PCs - when P3D4 is running, I have, above the P3D menu bar on both PCs, "Lockheed Martin Prepar3d v4 with WideServer: waiting for clients". I think I will proceed with the Opus uninstall/reinstall. Should I do anything with the Simconnect and WideFS installations? Bob P.S. XPlane11 runs on the network (3 screens on the client and 1 on the server) but is not active att and should not interfere anyway |

There is no SimConnect msi for LM P3D.
Sounds to me as though you have linked your sims using WideFS or a SimConnect configuration. There must not be any such linkage. This is the reason why you have problems. The client and server sims must not be linked or connected in any way. They must be completely isolated from one another. So you must remove WideFS and any other unnecessary linkage. Stephen

Success!!! Disabled WideFS on Server and Client and uninstalled all Simconnect versions on Client. Made sure there were no simconnect.dll's floating around as well. Editing of Client views now takes place on Client main view. Many thanks Stephen.

Live View - Stutters I'm experiencing constant stutters on (P3D v5 and v4.5) OpusFSI v6 Live View clients at the moment and will be investigating the cause during the week. The LV Tests do not show any stutters. These stutters may effect other software versions as well. I will report my finding via these SimForum posts and Announcements. Stephen |

Live View Stutters
I am making progress. Live View is extremely smooth with OpusMSFS but suffers from stutters when using OpusFSI v5 or v6. I have changed the LV Tests adding simulated airspeed in the server side test and all is smooth. I have identified the reason for the stutters to the data transmission loop and am continuing to investigate. Not even sure this is not just my test setup. I will keep you informed of my progress. Anyone not experiencing client stutters please comment here giving software and sim versions. Stephen

Live View Stutters
Success at last ! I have isolated the cause of ALL minor stutters in Live View updates to the supervision software which has expanded over recent times. I am now working toward a fix which will also greatly improve the smoothness and transmission rate for all Live View updates. The first fix will be implemented in OpusFSI v6 and the new OpusMSFS (which doesn't have any stutters at present but will benefit from the changes). When that has been proven I will look to implement all changes possible in OpusFSI v5. Stephen

Update Report Live View Stutters - Good news I have now isolated the root cause of ALL Live View stutters and minor irregularities in the client updates. I have also been able to fine tune and improve coordination between the simulator's (FSX, P3D v4.5, P3D v5, and MSFS) SimConnect update events and the networked server-client communications. The end result is perfectly smooth and stutter free client updates with greatly increased position and attitude update rates. The problem lies in the programs main supervision software and its effect on Windows 10 with regard to the multi-threaded operation of OpusFSI and especially the multi-threaded server-client update software. I now know exactly what is needed to coordinate all these actions allowing the server-client update software to almost free run and remain fully coordinated with the sim updates and the main OpusFSI software. I am now working towards implementing an upgrade to OpusFSI v6 and hopefully will soon be able to post a new OpusFSI v6 Beta for users to test on the multi-PC systems. All improvements will also be incorporated into the new OpusMSFS, which does not exhibit any smoothness problems at the moment but will benefit from the upgrade. All possible changes will also be implemented in OpusFSI v5 in the fullness of time. I will keep everyone informed via our SimForum Announcements and Live View topics, I will also post updates and news on Facebook from time to time. Regards Facebook link ...

Hi Stephen,
After upgrading from V4 to v5I cant get my client to run smooth anymore. The client LV test seems to be fine. When run from the server I get stutters and sudden jumps in attitude. Does the latest versions that I have (v5.45.1) already have the improvements you are talking about above? Ps I want to re-run the LV test to check for lag as well but the test app does not work anymore all of a sudden. The airplane stays on the ground during test rather then jumping to 500ft as it should :-( Rob. |

Hi,
No. The Live View mods have not been implemented in OpusFSI v5. I will take a look tomorrow to see if the updates can be applied to v5 and let you know. Stephen

I have just reinstalled from an image cause I wanted to see my settings in v4.73
But even now the airplane (on the client pc) does not go up when I run the LV test on the server. It does go up when I run the LV test on the client, but not when run on the server. That cant be right is is? What the heck is going on over here?!

Are you referring to the aircraft on the client system. The aircraft on the server does not move of course.

You must also have the same version of software on both server and client systems.

Yes the airplane on the client does not go up when the test is ran from the server.
Its just yawing around digging into the rwy. I had this problem when both PCs had v5. I have this problem as well now that both PCs have v4 (re-installed both PC to previous image) So it must be a common setting or something like FSUIPC or another add on. The only thing new on my system is the FLIGHT1 management app. I could remove that but I dont see how that could mess network related testing up.

Very strange if both versions the same and it’s only the altitude that is not being set. Try re locating to a different airport, one that’s fairly low down, say EGNX East Midlands which is where I will test from tomorrow.
