need to reload plugin each boot up

#1 Post by slo642 »

AM was working fine and there was an fs2020 update after that I have to reload the AM plugin any time I have shut the computer down?

Hmm,

I think I might have the same issue although so far I’ve only had to re-install the plugin once after the recent Nordic update. Next time I shut down I’ll check again.

Just thinking out loud but I’m wondering if the update writes over or deletes plugin related files.

What I saw was with the latest plugin. Not sure about the OP. I will report again if it persists.

I can confirm, that also the current plugin is not running stable. I often have to restart the service 'FS2020Bridge' manually. Indication is when AP or AM is `Searching for Simulator'. It happens some time after closing a simulator session or after restarting the simulator for a new session.

Please check our wiki page: http://siminnovations.com/wiki/index.ph ... n_problems
It tells you how to check the fs2020_log.txt
Please let us know if you see any issues and if it shows the correct version number.

Ralph, your advice is hinting at connection problems. But the issue ist that the service has stopped running. As soon as i restart the service, AP and AM will connect to the bridge service and everything is ok.

The question is why does the bridge plugin service stop?

Is there a log file from AP that provides some clues?

Installations status is currently on AM / AP 4.0.2 and plugin 3.5 all 'Home Use'

OK, this are the log entries when I start Air Player after PC boot up and checking (in Task manager) that service 'FS020 Bridge' is running. The (AP) log shows:

21-06-2021 20:26:30 INFO AirPlayer: Version 4.0.2 HOME_USE

21-06-2021 20:26:42 INFO HardwareArduino: Mapped Arduino(ARDUINO_2560, channel A, PIN) on port 'COM3'

This time, after staring MFS2020, and Main Menu 'Welcome' is displayed, the service 'FS2020 Bridge' has stopped, the log shows those additional entries:

21-06-2021 20:28:13 INFO SimBusConnectionHandler: Discovered FS2020 on 192.168.33.140:55561 (am_port=55558)

21-06-2021 20:28:30 ERROR SimNavClient: Lost connection with client: Eine vorhandene Verbindung wurde vom Remotehost geschlossen.

In the Windows event logs the following Application error is registered:

If I restart the service 'FS2020 Bridge' manually AP and AM connect to, and I can perform a flight. The log shows some additional entries:

21-06-2021 20:43:15 INFO SimNavClient: Connected to 192.168.33.140

21-06-2021 20:43:15 INFO SiRunner: Cessna 172 - OAT and Time: logic.lua:147: Failed to bind hardware id's to connected hardware

After finishing the flight session (MSFS 2020 closed via 'Quit to Desktop') the log shows

21-06-2021 20:57:54 ERROR SimNavClient: Lost connection with client: Eine bestehende Verbindung wurde softwaregesteuert durch den Hostcomputer abgebrochen.

But the service is still running,

Thi is just one of many scenarios. Ther are others:
I have also documented a case with windows event log error:

It is not predictable what the error scenario will be.

But restarting the service manually will resolve for at least a full flight session.

I talked about the fs2020_log.txt, I don't see it here. Also, my German isn't that well :)
