pdmarsh Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) ArturDCS has been working hard at integrating Logitech/Saitek FIP support into his DCSFlightpanels program, which provides Logitech/Saitek Pro Flight Panel support for DCS World modules. So far, the HSI for the A-10C is working great, but the VVI is giving us trouble. When it works, it does so perfectly. However, after some time it will eventually freeze and become totally unresponsive. The HSI continues to work normally. The DCSFP error log produces the following: 24.09.2017 11:48:17 version : 2.1.623.4457 890098 Custom message = [FIPPanel.Shutdown] System.OverflowException Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow. at DCSFIPS.FIPPanel.Shutdown() ArturDCS has tried quite a few things to work around this, but so far it's a hurdle we can't get past. Perhaps some folks here have experience working with FIPs and can point us in the right direction. One final note--I have three FIPs running and the VVI will fail on any of these or all of these. This should rule out a hardware issue. Thanks, Paul Here are some photos of the gauges as displayed in the FIPs.

ArturDCS Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) Getting via Visual Studio Exception thrown: 'System.OverflowException' in mscorlib.dllI have built a test bench doing 100000 iterations going through the whole range DCS-BIOS returns for the VVI control (full speed) updating the FIPs (3). I can repeat the problem here, not while I am playing. On pdmarsh PC it happens all the time while playing. I cannot find any red line when this exception occurs. I have saved the bitmaps that cannot be set but they open just fine and looks "normal". That's about where my knowledge about graphics & FIPs ends. So I haven't been able to conclude that the code that generates the image nor my handling of Logitech's DirectOutput driver is the problem. And I can't debug the unmanaged dll.

ArturDCS Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 So I rounded up the saved bitmaps that couldn't for some reason be set and set them at high speed on all FIPs and it worked. No errors. DCSFlightpanels dcs-insight dcs-bios DCSBIOSBridge BIOSBuddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
