there is a topic on networking here on the Forum

after changing the port number to 8094 in OC4BA.ini you need to make a new configuration with OC4BAv4/Config

If servos move but go to limit means that you go to the opposite direction ( i.e. max instead of min) you need to change the script). There are topics on the forum that is dealing with this.

Not all Opencockpits OVHs are wired the same way.

have you linked the Expansion Card in Modules to OVH in Operations?


What is the text of your PMCG B737.ini and SIOC.ini files?

Hi
Thanks for reply.
I've got it working fine on one pc..just the networking giving me a problem now.
By the way when I open configuration and change the initial file to 8094 it always returns to 8092 when I restart the software..I've saved it each time and done it manually but it always goes back to 8092.
Finally I use prosim737 software and this uses soic with a different script.
When I use your software it over it's my soic configuration file can it save a copy instead so I can change as I want to in as much as fly pmdg then change to another aircraft and not use your software but have the original soic still available to use
Hope you understand me
Mhazy
Ps is the 777 going to get a over scipt

From the MUST READ OC4BAv4file:

!!!!IMPORTANT!!

Some users have encounter problems when using the default IOCP port number 8092, due to port conflict with other programs running on their PC.

If you have problems running your OC4BAv4 drivers with the default IOCP port 8092, you can change the IOCP port
to i.e. 8094 or 8096 (other port numbers can also be used if those mentioned do not solved the issue).
You can change the port number from the OC4BAv4's Config/File/Open OC4BA.ini menu. You then also have to manually delete all "cockpit".ini
files( PMDG B737.ini, PMDG B777.ini etc) in SIOC folder before restarting OC4BAv4.


When I use your software it over it's my soic configuration file can it save a copy instead so I can change as I want to in as much as fly pmdg then change to another aircraft and not use your software but have the original soic still available to use
Please describe this in more detail and more clearly, so I understand it correctly
I can add this function to the next update of OC4BAv4, but only if you decribe it better.

Hi
OK, I've already read several times the messages you are pointing out. It's the first thing I do if I can't get something working, but it still did not help me.
I've solved my problems now
To explain the last request in more detail.
Can you make the software keep the old soic.ini file.
Reason is so that I can change to other software using a different soic.ini settings

I do not know if you have the Airbus driver, but if not you can try the following until an update is released:


1. Copy your original sioc.ini text to a new AEROSOFT AIRBUS.ini file.
2 Select the Airbus in OC4BAv4 when you want to fly with your sioc configuration
