Hello Gustavo,

This behavior is normal in some situations. The first thing to do is to wait. In some cases, the Scenery Generator can take up to one+ minute to settle, and load the full scenery. During this time you will see very odd things, like the aircraft below the ground, bouncing, etc... this is normal.

In some (rare) ground loading situations, the PSX aircraft keeps bouncing, and even (in very rare cases) crashes. The ONLY thing you have to do is to reload the PSX SITU. This will force WidePSX to reset the synchronization process and everything will come back to normal. For this purpose, the good habit is to always save the SITU (or load from a saved SITU) in PSX before to connect WidePSX.

Best regards,
Jean-Philippe

Thank you Jean,

i have done as you said but still i can't get the aircraft on the runway or apron at HECA unfortunately.
I have loaded the default cold and dark.situ > changed the aircraft location to HECA RW23L Takeoff tab (aircraft was perfectly aligned and standing on the runway) > saved again the situation by creating a new .situ file.

I then connected WidePSX and as expected the aircraft sinked below the ground and remained there.
After every parameter was stable i loaded my new. situ file and unfortunately again the aircraft started jumping and remained below the runway. :/

All other airports are perfectly ok, i can get WidePSX to work everywhere except at HECA for some reasons. Don't know what to do.
Thanks for your help

Hello Gustavo,

Please send me the SITU file by email. Which Scenery Generator are you using ? Is HECA default or add-on scenery ?

Regards
Jean-Philippe

Thanks,

just sent it now, should be in your inbox.
I'm using FS2020 default scenery for HECA with POSKY747 model.
Thanks

I had an issue with HECA in MSFS2020 when landing. Looked like there was an elevation mismatch.

JP59

Hello GodAtum,

May you precise if it was with MSFS « alone » or using WidePSX ? I also suspect an elevation mismatch in MSFS for this particular airport. Anyway, WidePSX injects the Scenery Generator's elevation to PSX. So if the elevation is wrong in MSFS, it will cause this kind of behavior. I will run a test at HECA ASAP, with some debug outputs to monitor the local elevation given by MSFS and see if it's coherent. I will post my results here.

Regards,
Jean-Philippe

ahhhh, now i understand. It would make perfectly sense because WidePSX works fine at all other airports, except Heca.

Thanks a lot

I have an 80mm thermal printer (ex POS) attached to my PC. It is configured as Generic Text and set as default printer.
When I enable the printer in Wide PSX and try to print and ATIS message from the ACARS CDU. I get a lot of line feeds but no text. Is it possible to change the format of the print output?

Cheers,

Hello Alex,

I don't know what you mean by format ? Did you try to manually set the line feeds in the boxes of the Printer Tab ? Did you try to tweak the options in your printer's driver settings ? I also suggest you to try with a « standard » printer just to confirm if the issue comes from the printer. Let me know your results.

Best regards

Hello,

Sorry but for an unknown reason all the PSX forum emails are falling in my spam. I answered to all the requests and will check my spams regularly.

Thank you Jean-Philippe! Payment sent already.

Hi JP,

When MSFS crashes, WidePSX forces me to close and reopen itself. Then that resets the ground services, meaning when I land, I don't get any. Maybe add a ground service state as landed/parking?

JP59

Hello GodAtum,

I think when you start the ground services module while in flight, it automatically switches to the arrival mode. Did you gave it a try ? You can set any value in the boxes (ZFW,...) as they are irrelevant for the arrival process. Just fill the required boxes to make WidePSX happy and allowing you to press the « Start Module » button in flight.

Best regards

Ah OK, I'll try that thanks.

Hi,
I have set IP and port numbers in the sim connect xml and in WidePsx the same, connected to  main and boost server, but can not connect to simconnect.xml, on port 29747.
Do I need to change this port number?
Or is there something else I need to look at?

Hi all,

Is the any setting to make in MSFS2020 or WidePSX for wx injection into MSFS2020 from WidePSX? Most of the time I fly with real weather so I set this in both programs. And this works fine. But when I change wx in PSX to something else nothing happens in MSFS. Am I doing something wrong here? Not using the aloftWX tab, btw. I just connect both sims, and start the scenery generator. Also using the transponder tab.
Rgrds,

Edwin

Hello Edwin,

There is actually no way to send the PSX weather to MSFS. About the reverse, you can only inject "invisible" weather from MSFS, or an external winds aloft generator like Active Sky to PSX using the AloftWx module. See the WidePSX user manual for details. By using the real live weather in both MSFS, Flight Planning tool and PSX, you can get an accurate result, sufficient for a realistic flight.
