My friend's plane keeps jittering when we fly. He also doesn't have clouds. Does anyone else have an issue with the slave's plane jittering?

Did you download the file without the weather? That was the problem for me too.

When Master is on autopilot my yoke is jittering (as well as fuel gauges). About clouds - cannot say, because I use config without weather (both have FSGRW + Sundog). But when we tried config with weather once there was no sync in weather.

Yes, we're using the file without weather.

The plane feels like it's lagging on the slave mode. I don't know what could be causing that. Our internet is pefect with 17ms ping.

We have the same. Master is smooth but slave always jitters/ lags plus a lot of trim action

[birdy.dma]

Elevator trim. You can use this one, but don't trim with the mouse, only with buttons of your joy.

About jitters, have you fps under 20?

no fps under 20 for me, but my usual copilot has a shitty pc, so maybe that is a problem. Elev trim is on a button on my stick. 

Is this latest file you added without weather? (i think thats the best option) (edit: didn't look before talking, never mind)

 

Thx for the time you put in, shared pit is really cool.

IXEG 1.0.4 Is of course now out.

Will there be an updated smarcopilot file, or is it not needed?

I am not facing my main computer. After a first glance, only bugs are fixed. No new feature, so no new commands or datarefs.

They is no more room for improvements without some work on the plane itself (devs side).

But it's too early. Bugs and VNAV are priority. We have to wait patiently.

Hmm, just that we are trying to do shared cockpit but, it saying different data refs. Strange!

Thanks,

Have you the exact same smartcopilot.cfg?

May be a xjoymap.ini in one side only?

Same hotfix for both pilots?

We just found that it was the EGGD scenery we had gotten, super strange. At Aerosoft EGCC/Manchester and now is working all fine!

My bad. Sorry guys, my smartco file with weather was broken. Clouds not transmitted from master to slave, as reported by a lot of crews. 

This one should work, at least with X Plane weather and NOAA plugin.

birdy, can you unsync squawking. Only master should be allowed to put the transponder in to charlie/on for online flying.

Other then that.. working nicely

Good job! *thumbs up*

It's already done.

By default, the knob is on Auto. So after take off, both will switch to charlie.

As this knob is not sync, the pilote who speak  can use Stby, Auto or On, the other one only Stby.

[GiantUnicorn]

aha. Ok. great thanks.

I've already flown it shared on IVAO a couple of times. Will test the new version

[bigbasspic]

Hi there,

anybody any idea how to avoid conflict alerts when flying shared cockpit on vatsim?

Bassy regards
Benjamin

[bigbasspic]

OK,

just talked to some controllers, the answer is simple: Set squawk to OFF in the PNF plane. Controller sees two planes, but no conflict because of undetermined height of PNF plane ,-)

Bassy regards

I was not happy with the Fuel used and FF.

Here is a new logic for throttles and FF (and minor tweaks of autopilot).

Now, set the same amount of fuel in each tank before the connection.

Fuel used, FF and fuel displayed on the first progress page are correct.

Hi Gents,

Much better.

Commands added: ixeg/733/autopilot/at_disengage (provided with the 1.0.5 hotfix), and:sim/autopilot/autothrottle_toggle .

Guards are now synchronized from master to slave. Not perfect, but better than before. Same for the door gear.

Spring loaded knobs are working properly. APU knob, the 4 GEN knobs, and the ET knob of the clock. No joy with trims knobs (Pedestal).

Not terribly important, but FWIW, this command existed as of version 1.0, AFAIK. It definitely predates 1.0.5.

tried both new files with 1.0.5 and got a lot of errors, unable to connect:

Awesome! Love how you do it "without the weather" too. Thank you so much for your efforts!

Thanks!!!

Heyho, I have some problems and need some help. When I connect via slave with smartcopilot to a friend there is always a flickering sound and a flickering menu and I have always problems with all displays because nothing is turned on or a graphic bug appears on the displays. Does someone know how to fix that?

 

best regards,

Desti
