Hi Venkat

Did you enable the remote interface?
In CLS2Sim, did you go to top menu > File > Settings and in the settings dialog enable the remote interface.

You can find example code (C#)
Install CLS2Sim, then go to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Brunner Elektronik AG\CLS2Sim\SDK
for some demo code.

Diego

Hi Venkat

If you want to interact with Brunner hardware via CLS2Sim, you may use the network protocol described in the online help:
https://cls2sim.brunner-innovation.swiss/
There are no plug-and-play libraries provided.
You have to write the network code on your own.

If however you want to interact directly on the CAN bus,
help with the CAN interface is only provided as paid support per hour.
Please contact sales@brunner-innovation.swiss and request a support hour package.
Once you have acquired support hours,
you may open a ticket at https://helpdesk.brunner-innovation.ch/

Kind Regards
Diego

Hi camrad

8.61E-10 = 8.61 * 10^-10 = 0.0000000000861
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation#E_notation

Basically zero = no thrust, all engines not running / failed.
Hope that helps.
For support requests, please open a ticket at: https://helpdesk.brunner-innovation.ch/

Hi farfuturefox

If you cannot open a ticket, please write to support@brunner-innovation.swiss

As for your problem:
In CLS2Sim:
In the connection settings, in the Simulator group box, disable “Auto connect”.
Make sure you’re only connected to the hardware side, not the sim.
Create a new profile.
In Hydraulics enable “static force scale factor and set a force scale of 400
Press Apply button.

Does the yoke roll center, or does it pull left?
Write us your observations to the support email.
Regards
Diego

Hi, Diego from development here.

If you own MSFS2020 Steam version , open:
%APPDATA%\Microsoft Flight Simulator\SimConnect.xml

If you own MSFS2020 NON Steam version, open:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\SimConnect.xml

Search for:

<!-- Example Global (remote) IPv4 Server Configuration-->

and set the following settings:

<SimConnect.Comm>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<Protocol>IPv4</Protocol>
<Scope>global</Scope>
<MaxClients>64</MaxClients>
<Address>0.0.0.0</Address>
<Port>15050</Port>
</SimConnect.Comm>

Start, or restart MSFS2020 and afterwards you can connect with both SimRacingStudio and CLS2Sim.

Please note!

Any time you change settings within SimRacingStudio (screenshot), it overwrites this file and you have to manually adjust the file again.

I do not know, what exact SimConnect connection settings SimRacingStudio needs, maybe someone can fill that in.
For CLS2Sim, it needs an IPv4 protocol connection on port 15050 as shown in the xml above.

Diego

Hi Kirk

Open the file:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Brunner Elektronik AG\CLS2Sim\Settings\connection.stx
Search for APP_SWITCH_CUSTOM_AP
Set false to true

In CLS2Sim you can now decide more finely grained when the AP mode of the hardware should be active. (AP tab > Custom AP button)
Also, try to fly with “Don’t set pos in AP mode” disabled and see if that improves the situation.

Diego

Hi

There is only the online help:

Units:
If not explicitly labeled, arbitrary internal units of the fw in the devices.
Experimentation required.

Hi Folks

We have a release 5.6.5 in the pipeline.
It’s still a WIP, but the issue with the uploads is already fixed.
Please test and give feedback if it works for you too.

You can download the test build here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vRGl7cds-misKR9UmayeHXU5sHyq1LGG/view?usp=drive_link

As always, make a backup of your settings before installing.

Hi all

Diego here.
We are aware of the problem and working on possible solutions.

vJoy 2.1.9.1 is working on Windows 11 (for now), but has some highly problematic bugs. (used before CLS2Sim 5.5.0)
vJoy 2.2.1.1 is not working on Windows 11 but is more stable in general.

The main problem is that vJoy is not developed actively anymore and as it is a driver, it needs to be signed to allow installation.
Microsoft has made driver signing significantly more complicated and cumbersome than it was two years ago.
We are looking into the possibility of (maybe!) continuing development of vJoy ourselves.
In the meantime we will modify CLS2Sim to allow choosing which vJoy version to use.

For those who need to jump back to 5.4.7, here is a link:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SzGsGoYb1XK6B68rcqBCt5IM94l74kBi/view?usp=drive_link

If you can take a minute to fill out this form here, I’d appreciate that greatly!
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeTxtMjgOgPwcWplCHp-3Fzi6kVe28Pvu8AseMrNd4MkDZWKA/viewform

Sorry for the trouble, and thank you all for your patience!

Hi Naaman

Please try this version:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tx_C4geXdeexIb-35_T2Z7t7a__DcRjE/view?usp=sharing
Run it with the batch file “Log Debug Messages.bat” and upload the log file after you’re done.

Hello everyone

a) CLS2Sim not connecting:
We have just now uploaded CLS2Sim build 5.1.23 which fixes the particular problem.

b) Memory integrity:
CLS2Sim ships and installs an old FTDI driver (older version for compatibility reasons).
The offending driver installer has been removed.

For user with old hardware using a COM-Port:
IF you have Windows 8+, it will automatically install a new version of the driver when the device is plugged in.
If you Windows 7 or older and connections problems, contact us.

People with the memory integrity issue will need to uninstall the old driver manually:
Uninstall the following 2 items from “Control Panel” > “Programs and features”

Windows Driver Package – FTDI CDM Driver Package – VCP Driver (01/27/2014 2.10.00) – 01/27/2014 2.10.00
Windows Driver Package – FTDI CDM Driver Package – Bus/D2XX Driver (01/27/2014 2.10.00) – 01/27/2014 2.10.00

Regards
Diego

Hello everyone

ftdibus.sys is an old driver that is installed by CLS2Sim, for compatibility with older devices.
If your Brunner device has no COM port, you don’t need this driver and can uninstall it.
However please be aware that each update of CLS2Sim will reinstall the driver.

We are aware and working on this problem.

Regards
Diego

[Diego Bürgin]

We have located the problem and are working on a fix. Will release new version asap.

Hi, Diego here.

Please go to https://forum.brunner-innovation.ch/helpdesk/
and open a ticket. I will debug this problem with you.

Hi Webmaximus

vJoy since old times had that problem, that on some machines/installations the installation succeeded but the installer hung up after installing the driver.
Kill the installer, restart and check if vJoy is installed. (Always successful in my experience)

CLS2Sim 4.29.3 is now out, where the link is fixed.
(Additionally the reconnection interval can now be configured.)

Regards
Diego
