msff2 + win7x64 + FS2004 - freeze

[liazkam]

Hi ,

I'm using FSforce with greart joy for the past few months.

Once in a while my flight simulator will freeze. This always happens during taxi or take-off, when joystick vibrates intensely.
When flying Carenado planes with retracting gear, the problem happens almost immediately when I drop my gears down.

1. The test application works great.
2. The event viewer only shows an FS9 hang:

i cant find the log files or cfg files in order to enable logging.

Please help me. Happy holidays

Enabled debug logging by adding the following line to the [General] section of FSForce.cfg:

DebugLog=1

The .cfg file can be found in the folder in which you installed FS Force.

Then send me the resulting logfile.

[liazkam]

Im a SW engineer myself, and I hate it when I get this reply from my QA team, but "As soon as I enabled debugging the problem is gone".

I'll keep you posted. In the mean time I can upload the current log file.
It does show some warning

[liazkam]

The sim finally crashed and I have sent the log file to the support email address.

Thanks

Hi,

Was a solution found? I downloaded FS Force yesterday and seem to be suffering from the same symptoms (FF2, FS2004, Win7 64bit).

Cheers,
Benny

When I enable the log file, every time the sim crashes, the last log line is:

MECH_EFFECTS_TMR E_FAIL

[bgey]

Same here. I usually suffer this freeze when applying brakes while taxxiing - an action which requires a lot of force feedback.

Logfile sent to support.

Cheers,
Benny

[RussDirks]

bgey, does this tend to happen with all aircraft, or just specific ones. Please specify.

[bgey]

I've had it happen with the Caravan, King Air and stock 737.

Getting the same issue here with MECH_EFFECTS_TMR E_FAIL with win7x64 here as well with the new Iris Dynamics yoke and Win7 with FS9.
I am unable to even get into the options in the profiler without FSForce locking up.

It is just 3 lines in the log repeating
MECH_EFFECTS_TMR E_FAIL

[psolk]

FS9
Win7
FSForce 1 (Ironically brand new download but says V 1.04 in .cfg)
Iris Force Feedback Yoke

All I get in Log is:
Starting FS Force DLL Sun Mar 06 11:35:13 2016


Cessna C172SP Skyhawk

AirEffect.ProgramForces 1 : DIERR_NOTEXCLUSIVEACQUIRED

AirEffect.ProgramForces 1 : DIERR_NOTEXCLUSIVEACQUIRED

MECH_EFFECTS_TMR DIERR_NOTEXCLUSIVEACQUIRED & VFW_E_FILTER_ACTIVE & DMO_E_TYPE_NOT_ACCEPTED

MECH_EFFECTS_TMR E_FAIL

MECH_EFFECTS_TMR E_FAIL

MECH_EFFECTS_TMR E_FAIL



And then a hard lockup of FS9 entirely. Similarly, when I launch Profile Manager and try to test a profile FSForce locks up

Tried running everything as admin to no avail. Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance
Paul

[RussDirks]

Do you have any other add-ons? Have you tried selectively disabling?

Other than that I don't have any other suggestions. I only offer minimal support for FS Force 1.
