Ryan Renz Posted April 13, 2022 at 03:24 AM Posted April 13, 2022 at 03:24 AM Hello, My Swift client isn't working very well, I'm curious if anyone else is using a similar setup I could pose a few questions and ask how your system runs. I appreciate your time. In My (virtual) Hangar: C172 :: C-FXMY M20M :: C-GRYR Baron 58 :: C-TVUY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Renz Posted April 14, 2022 at 03:37 AM Author Posted April 14, 2022 at 03:37 AM Goes not. Well I know I'm not the ONLY one using Swift, so that's 1/3. I think their might be others using FS2004, and using Windows 7. But then I'm left assuming that no one on here is using this combination! See... I AM UNIQUE! 😁 Well, if anyone is having problems with the topic setup just ask me, as the only user I give you the best feedback I can. (Sadly my setup is kinda broken, but hay, you never know) P.S. Or at least no one reading the forums that is! lol Ho-hum. In My (virtual) Hangar: C172 :: C-FXMY M20M :: C-GRYR Baron 58 :: C-TVUY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Fuchs Posted April 14, 2022 at 10:48 AM Posted April 14, 2022 at 10:48 AM Hi Ryan, most active users of swift who also communicate can be found on our support server at Discord. I have FS9 installed and it works with swift, but I am using Windows 10. I used to have Win 7 and it also worked with swift, but that was many moons/versions ago.

Ryan Renz Posted April 15, 2022 at 03:02 AM Author Posted April 15, 2022 at 03:02 AM hm. Yeah, I don't do the Discord thing. I don't get all this new stuff; I stopped with the social networking when MSN messenger and online chat rooms ended. Now I only real network, and occasionally visit forums; I'm pretty boring. Does your Swift automatically see fs9? I think that is the problem. I always have to force fs to connect to Swift, sometimes it's troublesome. Swift often gives me errors. So much going on. Perhaps that's why the coms won't sync. Do you run yours in administrator? Do you run fs in compatibility mode?

Andreas Fuchs Posted April 15, 2022 at 09:09 AM Posted April 15, 2022 at 09:09 AM I have the same thing: I always need to manually connect FS9 to swift's multiplayer session, but it does work nicely from there. I run swift AND FS9 "as administrator", both programs need to run in the same mode. If you talk about "errors", you can ignore those error messages shown at the bottom of swiftGUI.

Ryan Renz Posted April 15, 2022 at 02:41 PM Author Posted April 15, 2022 at 02:41 PM Okay. Do you run either of those programs in Windows XP compatibility mode? Thank you.

Andreas Fuchs Posted April 15, 2022 at 05:23 PM Posted April 15, 2022 at 05:23 PM No, not at all. They both run "as is" and "as administrator".

Ryan Renz Posted April 15, 2022 at 05:34 PM Author Posted April 15, 2022 at 05:34 PM Alright, thank you. In My (virtual) Hangar: C172 :: C-FXMY M20M :: C-GRYR Baron 58 :: C-TVUY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Renz Posted April 15, 2022 at 10:39 PM Author Posted April 15, 2022 at 10:39 PM Does Swift use fsuipc to connect to fs? Maybe it's an fsuipc problem. Maybe I can force fsuipc to send COM changes to Swift? Also, I was hoping to use hardware to control Swift hotkeys, can this be done with fsuipc also?

Andreas Fuchs Posted April 15, 2022 at 10:52 PM Posted April 15, 2022 at 10:52 PM Yes, you need to have FSUIPC. Cheers, Andreas Member of VATSIM GermanyMy real flying on InstagramMy Twitch streams of VATSIM flights and ATC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Renz Posted April 15, 2022 at 11:09 PM Author Posted April 15, 2022 at 11:09 PM I have fsuipc. So probably there is a communication error there; fsuipc isn't sending the COM changes to Swift. And I need to find how I can pass keystrokes from fsuipc to Swift.

Andreas Fuchs Posted April 16, 2022 at 10:13 AM Posted April 16, 2022 at 10:13 AM What version of FSUIPC are you using? For FS2004, FSUIPC 3.999z9 is the latest (and last) release, see here: http://fsuipc.com/ Cheers, Andreas Member of VATSIM GermanyMy real flying on InstagramMy Twitch streams of VATSIM flights and ATC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Renz Posted April 16, 2022 at 02:08 PM Author Posted April 16, 2022 at 02:08 PM That is correct. That's what I have installed. In My (virtual) Hangar: C172 :: C-FXMY M20M :: C-GRYR Baron 58 :: C-TVUY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
