MobiFlight Community Support

Hello,
I have just started using Mobilight and am having a problem trying to open the program. When I restart my computer, Mobiflight opens on the first few attempts. After a few times opening and closing, it won't load and I have to restart the computer to get it to work again. It recognizes the 2 Megas that I have plugged in when it opens. Also, I have not saved any mcc files. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Seems to be working now. Will try it out and see if problem comes back.

Hi

Confirm if problem happen again if MF is still loaded and work in backround !

If you not close MF and just minimize it then it is no longer shown in TaskBar BUT it is still running "hidden" ( Click on the Apps Symbol next to the Clock to find it again).
Thats in case most users will run MF in Backround without see it on the screen.

And sure.... If MF is still running it occure in a error ( or nothing) if you try to start it twice. MF can only run one time per computer !

Mobiflight opens every time now, but it takes about 5 minutes to load. It also takes another minute to open the settings tab. Not sure what is going on.

Hi,

do you use Arcaze modules in your setup? If yes, disconnect them and start MF again.
Please report your experiences.

I don't use Arcaze Modules. I only have 1 Mega hooked up now while trouble shooting. It's kind of strange that when I reboot my computer, Mobiflight connector works as it should (opens immediately and recognizes installed Mega). After I start programming buttons/leds Mobiflight Connector slows down. Even if I delete all of the rows in inputs/outputs, opening Mobilfight takes about 5 min. Also opening any tabs in Mobiflight can take 1-2 min.

I am using a 2560 Mega clone and did have to download a driver (CH341SER_EXE) for it to get initially recognized. Not sure if this makes a difference?

Thats new.

Sounds like a Memory Leak.
We not know about that.... May you should get in contact to Sebastian ( Best way via DISCORD)
Hopefully he can see the problem directly.

I was searching back through old topics and my issue sounds the same as this post. https://www.mobiflight.com/forum/message/19945.html
Not sure if there was ever a solution to this post.
I use MSFS2020, FSUIPC7.
Computer is 5800x, 32 gig ram, 1080ti, NVme drive
Will try and contact Sebastian at some point.
Thanks

Mhhh.

You see there was no further reply from that users.... So i not know if they still got the problem.

Basically ..... Please Confirm you use newest Release..... Specialy in the 8.xx Versions we make some segnificant improvements for the Board detection!
E.g. for our Power User "Helimech" we could reduce the Startup Time from 4 Minutes to less then 20 Seconds.
Also from some Feedback we know the number of "non detected Boards" decrease a lot.

At last....

I know one special user that is in a personal observe situation by Sebastian. Looks like on his system already the "existing" of the code for the Arcaze occure in a massive delay of 5-10 Minutes.
In a Testing version ( Sebastian removed most of the Arcaze Stuff) ... As i know.... he got way better experience......
Crazy cause like you he not use a Arcaze at the moment.

So.... I recommend to talk to Sebastian. Maybe he will share you this testing version and you also can confirm THIS is the solution. Then we need to think about a fully removement from Arcaze Code for Regulary Users and support this Boards only for people who like to use them !

Yes I am using 8.1.4. Tried reinstalling several times in different locations with same issue (just in a folder on desktop now)
Also MSFS is updated and newest version of FSUIPS7.
Not sure what Arcaze Modules are, so pretty sure I don't have anything installed. Only have Leo Bodnar boards right now for various controls.
