Hello,

As you have noticed, the forum suffered yet another crash. The dedicated server hosting my forums died unexpectedly young. The hard drive of the server seem to be the culprit, now the server, hosted by Scaleway, won't restart.
The data on the server is all lost. There was no attack nor malicious actions as far as I could see.

After previous crash, I tried to ensure better safety with backup solutions, but it seems I missed critical portions of the database, or they got corrupted somehow between the beginning of the crash and the last backup I made. All backups I made were useless in any case, and that has taken me quite some time these last 48h...

Please make your best revive the forums again…

Sorry for the inconvenience.

ITT Creator issue

Post by turbovela »

I am assigning led and switches through FDS-SYS1 and when using the ITT Creator, I can assign one led or switch, I save it and if I try to assign another one it freezes, therefore I can only assign one item at a time, then save and then I have to quit the creator and reopen it to assign anything else. Is this normal? Or do I have a bug?

Thanks

Jose

I finally got everything I needed configured, but when I’m using the buttons on ITT Creator while flying, after a certain time of use it seems that it freezes and the only way to unfreeze it is through the ANN LT Test and making all the lights come on. Which is interfaced through a Skalarki overhead card. As of right now I I’m connecting the USBs to non powered USB extenders or directly to the computer, so I’m wondering if that’s got something to do with it.

Thanks

I am also now having an issue with IIT Creator.

After/during the latest FMGS update, I noticed there was a dll error for ITT...something like that - I cannot remember the specifics. Justthought it was a 'glitch'.

But. there is definitely something wrong, because when I run ITT Creator I get a small dialogue box with a red cross and the message, ''$00". If I press OK, I get to the FDS InterfaceIT Creator but a message appears saying, "Access violation at address 005DD498 in module 'IITcreator.exe' (offset 20D498). read of address 00000008."

I installed the latest FMGS software on another computer to see whether it was computer specific but I get exactly the same results.

So I trawled through my FMGS backups on my NAS drive (I just copy and paste the FMGS folder for backup/reference) and I ran the IIT creator from there and it works fine (product version 0.58.2.1).

So it looks as though there is something amiss with the latest versions of FMGS.

Unfortunately for me, I stripped down the whole sim two years ago due to moving house. I am now rebuilding the sim, upgrading along the way (frame from Vier Im Pott...3D printer added to the rebuild...MIP to be ordered from Skalarki...you get the idea :-). But I am keeping my FDS overhead panel along with my FDS SYS1 board. So at some point, I would like to use the IIT Creator!

I am in no rush, since lots to do before I get to the software part once again, but nevertheless, there does appear to be a problem with the IIT Creator at the moment.

Best wishes,
Darren Sugden
