In-Development Information Display for Logitech Flight Instrument Panel

[Melissa Payne]

Hi mhwing,

I'm loving this program, it adds to the immersion of the game.

However mine has stopped working and I was wondering if there was a new update?

I'm currently using 1.4.6

any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

CMDR Melissa Payne

There is a log file that can show more information.

If the software is NOT running, then you should see a slideshow on the fip panel with one of the slides being the serial number.
If that is not the case, then you have a hardware or driver issue.
If you have it plugged into a USB3 port, try a USB2 port.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

They have been working fine, but now when I run the application it seems to hang, it doesn't load.

I'm using both FIP's in usb 2

 

[mhwlng]

I really need more information...
So do you see the slideshow when the program is not running?
What can you find in the log file?

Sorry what do you mean by slide show? on the FIP's?

the FIPS's slideshow seems fine showing other logitech equipment and serial numbers for both panels

When I run the application it starts but doesn't load the information from ED engineer

where do I find the log file (sorry for being inept)

 

[mhwlng]

The log files are in the same directory as the application

>doesn't load the information from ED engineer

What do you mean by that?
Do you have edengineer running?
If yes, can you please stop it, before starting the application.

I thought that the app drew information from ED Engineer?

I've stopped ED Engineer and tried running the app but it still just shows a window with Elite Dangerous Flight Instrument Panel, underneath that, saying "loading" but the FIPS just have the slide shows running.

I really appreciate your help with this, thanks.

 

[mhwlng]

edengineer is optional, you don't have to have edengineer running.

Please check the log files

Please check the log files

I think this is the log files

not sure I can make much sense of it

 

[mhwlng]

The log files show nothing abnormal.

please (when application is not running) go in windows explorer to this directory:

%appdata%\mhwlng\fip-elite

(so the directory C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\mhwlng\fip-elite )

and delete all files (there are probably 3 files: MZ91BC3C0B, MZ968FC208 and window )

then try to start again.

>the app but it still just shows a window with Elite Dangerous Flight Instrument Panel, underneath that, saying "loading"

It should say 'loading something' a number of times with different things.
after that, it should say 'Starting Elite Journal something' with different things.
what does the screen look like exactly when it hangs?


If deleting above files doesn't fix the problem,
please download the latest version from github and copy it to another directory (so don't copy any files from the current version on your pc)
and try to run that newest version.
Please describe exactly what happens when it hangs.
What do you see on the screen exactly ?

Ok deleted those files

this is what i see

Will try downloading the latest version now

 

[mhwlng]

the last timestamp in the log that you posted is :

INFO 2020-09-18 07:24:48,777

is that the timestamp of the last time that everything worked ok?
or do you still see lines added to the log file, every time you start the application and it hangs?

I've got a feeling that it hangs very early in the startup, before it starts logging....

Yes the last time it worked was 18 sept,

I've downloaded the latest version again and moved it to a different location and hey presto it all works again.

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me.

I love your app and hope you keep adding to it.

kind regards

ok, so the problem must have been in one of the json files in the data directory or the data\bodies directory.
They are constantly being updated with fresh data from the internet.
you got rid of all those json files, when updating to the new version and it started working again.
If you ever have the same problem again , we'll have to further analyse those json files.
