[Solved]Problem with External Visuals XP10.51 IXEG v1.1 (Two PCs)

[martin.s]

Hi,

I just purchased the IXEG 733 following the v1.1 release. I run a second networked slave PC (for external visual with no panel view) with an independent copy of XP10.51/IXEG v1.1.

I have noticed that as soon as the aircraft begins to move on the master PC, the view on the slave external visual starts to shake very rapidly. It looks like a yaw through at least 45 degrees before syncing again with the master. This repeats very rapidly until I apply the brakes and the aircraft comes to a complete stop. To be clear, there is nothing wrong with the simulation on the master PC. This problem is purely isolated to the external visual PC and only occurs when the aircraft is in motion.

The problem also seems to be unique to the IXEG. No other aircraft add-on installed on the external visuals PC exhibits the same issue.

I'm wondering if anyone else who may be running a multiple PC setup with networked external visuals has come across this problem. Since I am new to the IXEG I cannot say if this issue existed pre v1.1 or pre XP10.51. Thank you.

I have the same setup and problem than you (2 networked pcs running a copy of xplane each master/salve, multiple aircraft including the ixeg)

master pc is ok, slave pc screen shakes goes crazy when at a speed. while the aircraft is stopped there is no sync problem.

 

this problem started by xplane 10.46 (i do not remember the exact version) when laminar did a rendering engine improvement

 

i have found an easy workaround to fix the problem.

 

1. You load the master and the slave sim with the ixeg

2. Wait for both sims be ready

3. On the slave mache select a different aircraft, it will load and revert back automatically yo the ixeg because the master machine will tell to load the ixeg again

 

problem fixed.

 

i do not know the technical details what the problem is, why loading a second aircraft and switching back on the slave solves the issue. What is reset that fixes the sync problem

 

note: not any aircraft fixes the problem, you will have to try. On my case i do use the Saab340 for the trick. It solves the problem.

 

 

Crazy as is but it works

 

 

If someone else has a better understanding or solution of the problem i am also interested to hear.

Thank you mmerelles. The workaround you suggested works for me too. Although I use a shortened version of the workaround. I load the IXEG on the master. Then I start XP on the slave loading the SAAB immediately and wait for XP to autoload the IXEG. I agree it is a bizarre workaround, but effective. I also don't understand why it works.

Its interesting that this shaking on the slave only happens for me with the IXEG 733 and no other aircraft. I did read some posts about changes LR made post 10.45 that I suspected could be a contributing factor, but it was all supposed to be fixed by 10.51. Since only the IXEG is currently showing this problem (assuming this continues to be an XP bug), there must be something specific to the IXEG that makes it more vulnerable to this XP bug.

In any case, I am happy with this workaround so thanks again!

you are welcome

 

yeah, i also tried the shortened version but didn't work reliable to me. Sometimes it works sometimes it still shakes. So i opted for loading the ixeg first on the slave, then load the saab and wait for it to switch back to the ixeg which works very reliable. If the shortened version works reliable for you is great, you are saving some time.
