Live View

Just the addon LOWW not defining its elevation data correctly so when the test sets the aircraft altitude it’s still at or below the defined ground of the airport?

Glad it’s resolved.

At the same time...sorry I caused you time consuming troubleshooting!

I had some problems myself with BSOD.

Looks like my overclock became unstable.

Got that sorted out now...so looks like I will be able to try the beta tonight.

Ps...reinstall...oh man...I hate that. Good luck!

And so I tried the „update rate test“ again.

I could not smooth out the stutters at the client at all.

All 4 cores of my CPUs (Haswell) were completely maxed out! (Hyper threading OFF)

Question one: Is that normal?

However, when I reset the BIOS to default, which means Hyper threading is then ON, things are smooth and the load is better devided over the cores and the cores are not maxed out.

Ok so the client PC has HT ON for now.

The next problem I need to tackle is whether it is better on my system to run FSX/Server at 30fps, 60fps or unlocked.

(my goal is 30fps at the server but I seem to be getting too low pos updates then).

So far I get the following result depending on the server FSX frame rate (but more testing needs to be done to confirm).

server/FSX.                       client/pos updates

30fps                gives        15fps > stutters at client

60fps.               gives        20fps > stutters at client

unlimited           gives        30fps > smooth client

Question two: 

Does this make sense? 

Or should the client pos update rate not be so overly dependent on the servers frame rate?

Because to get the smoothest experience on the server (no micro stutters etc), I run the servers FSX at fixed 30fps and allign that with the monitor refresh rate (60Hz) with a graphic card setting of 1/2Vsync.

So its either a smooth server and stuttery client, or

A stuttery server with a smooth client

:-(

The client has two spy windows to click but only one of the shows pos updates.

The other one shows nothing.

Is that normal or should both show pos updates?

I'm looking for a solution to synchronize 5 views (= 5 computers) in PREPAR3D v6.

Is Live View compatible with P3D v6?

To make a long story short, I will probably switch to opusFSI and abandon P3D Pro+ Multichannel. My first multichannel tests with P3D v6 still show the same problem as with the previous versions: the 'master' computer waits for each client machine to be ready with the next frame before letting the image to be displayed. I use 6 computers in total: a master and 5 individual views - each one having one projector. So I never get more than 15/20 fps, because there is always one of the 6 computers which is a bit late, so all other computers wait for him. Not really smooth and fluid, even with high end CPU and GPU!

BTW, there is another feature which is very handy on P3D Multichannel:  weather management. As soon as you change the weather on the master computer, all the client views update the weather accordingly. In this scenario, I use ActiveSky on the master. ASP3D is easy to set, whether live or custom weather.

Now I see that there is a Weather sync option in opusFSI. I played a bit with it, but I couldn't succeed in reading the weather on the P3D server and replicate it on the P3D clients. It seems that this functionality is designed to work internally, with the opusFSI weather engine, and not to read weather data coming from another source. Am I correct?
