Starting P3D /multichannel with different situation settings

[YukonAV8 0]

Great start with SIMstarter now configured to launch P3D, Oi4FS for the FMC, SPAD.next for the radio panel, FSC TQ for the TQ. Also have set it to use the /multichannel parameter on launch. However, when I check the box for Use different situation settings - SIMstarter is putting the -fxml option after the /multichannel resulting in an error. Is there are way to do this differently or is there a fix for it?

This works without situation settings:

But fails when using situation settings:

But if I create a shortcut on the desktop with this target like this it works:

C:\Prepar3Dv5\Prepar3D.exe -fxml"c:\Users\Yukon\OneDrive\Documents\Prepar3D v5 Files\SiIOMstarter NG.fxml" /MULTICHANNEL:"C:\Users\Yukon\OneDrive\Documents\Prepar3D v5 Files\Network.CFG"

 

So it seems the -fxml option must come before the /multichannel.

Appreciate any guidance

Thanks!

Thanks for your feedback Andy.

 

I can confirm that the parameter string for PREPAR3D.exe follows this logic:

prepar3d.exe <YOUR PARAMETER><SITUATION>

 

But I found an issue that there is no "blanc character" between <YOUR PARAMETER> and <SITUATION>. I already fixed this in the code.

 

----------------

 

I don't think that your issue relates to the order but we will see. If that is in conflict with the MULTICHANNEL parameter I can switch the order for sure.

But please have a look at your examples. Looks there are small typos:

 

C:\Prepar3Dv5\Prepar3D.exe -fxml"c:\Users\Yukon\OneDrive\Documents\Prepar3D v5 Files\SiIOMstarter NG.fxml" /MULTICHANNEL:"C:\Users\Yukon\OneDrive\Documents\Prepar3D v5 Files\Network.CFG"

 

Your "Parameters" in SIMstarter seam to have "blanc characters" at the end:

To completly debug this issue please:

1. correct your typos and try again
2. if that does not solve the issue please
   1. send me your "network.cfg"
   2. send me a DebugPack

 

We will fix this for sure.

Ok, I am away from the sim for a couple days, but 

1. Yes, I did try forcing blanks in between by adding them at the end of parameters but it didn’t help either before the end quotes or after I think you adding a blank in the code is probably critical and I would be happy to test it

2. Yes, will fix typo. In fact I think I already did after making the post.

 

will send a debug pack when I get a chance. The network.cfg is just the normal with my host and client name filled in. Will send.

 

I found no references to using multichannel with simstarter in the user guide or forums so I don’t know if anyone else is using it - but there is really nothing different about launching p3d with /multichannel other than it expecting a client on another machine to join. If there were demand for the feature, it would be cool if SIMstarter could launch an exe on a networked machine.

Don't mind. We will find a solution with SIMstarter - I know the developer very well...

There is SIMstarter NG Client which works with SIMstarter NG P3D. Not the best solution but works. See manual chapter 8.
