Warning by Start Scenery Generator Bridge

[Zigi]

Hello, everyone. I'm new here and trying to connect the MSFS and the PSX with WidePSX. With Network, the 3 connections are green. When I start "Scenery Generator Bridge" I get a warning:
PSX Boost Server Exception received. WidePSX wants to close.
Exception: For input string: "Qi138=1"

I have no idea what to do there. Maybe somebody can help me.

best regards
Zigi

Hello Zigi,

I'm not an add-on expert. But I can say that no add-on should ever send a string like "Qi138=1" to the boost server. Vice versa, the boost server will never send such a string to the add-on. Qi138 only occurs in the main network (not boost network) and it's used to update EICAS messages.

Is it possible to misconfigure the main server connection (in WidePSX) so that it accidentally connects to the boost server and vice versa?

Good point. Zigi, does your WidePSX configuration provide two "port number" entries where you can swap the numbers 10747 and 10749?

10749 is the booster.

I changed the port number in the config file (WidePSX) on the boost server from 10747 to 10749 and now the connection works, many thanks for your quick support

Hello Rajeev,

when your boost server receives a string starting with "Q", then it's clearly a string that should be sent to the main server (10747), not to the boost server (10749). There must be a 10747/10749 mistake somewhere in your setting. Are you sure your quoted text is the relevant part of your configuration text?

Dear Hardy

Thank you very much .
Solved the issue by the following steps
1) in psx network main selected option 3 ie set main server
2) psx boost server to start
3) Widepsx network port for main psx put 10747 ( earlier had 29747 and was also getting green)
4) click scenery generator link tab
5) all ok

 Only one is the flight controls eg flaps  , gear is not working no up. This after a take off.
Once again thank you for your kind help.

There is a setting in P3D which is "pause when lost focus" make sure this is not checked...
