Connection to the WASM module

[astral zenith]

I start Mobiflight together with other MSFS accessory programs via the appropriate Addon-Linker function and occasionally MF remains waiting for connection to the WASM module which I have already tried to reinstall obviously by restarting the SIM.

If I start MSFS and MF directly without using Addon-Linker the WASM is detected correctly.

My question is: has any program been identified that can make the connection between Mobiflight and the WASM module difficult ?

And finally: is there anything I can do to understand what causes this ?
Maybe by activating some tools in Developer Mode.

Thank you

if you run everything via addon linker when this happens, then close and re-run MSFS2020 (but leave MF running) does that fix it?

I will try

If someone installs a cooy of mobiflight wasm it might conflict. Search your addons for .wasm files and deactivate suspicious addons. Maybe you can find a trouble maker.

In fact, there are quite a few WASMs in Community folder

that's fine, wasm is just a file format

the only one that mobiflight cares about is mobiflightwasmmodule.wasm

since this only happens intermittently when using multiple app launch from add-on linker it's more likely to be some sort of weird timing issue

next time it happens restart MSFS2020 and see if that works

Restarting the sim leaving MF open did not activate communication with the WASM but I deactivated AutoRun and restarted Mobiflight and the WASM was activated.

I'll try again but I already had the impression that AutoRun affected this behavior in my case.

Once the simulator was started, I restarted Mobiflight with and without AutoRun active and if deactivated it always connected correctly.

I'll leave AutoRun off and test.

it's more likely that restarting mobiflight did it, not the autorun state

but interesting that it doesn't always work if autorun is enabled. I wonder if there's a race condition somewhere

[astral zenith]

I have the impression that introducing a small delay to go into AutoStart could improve things.
In any case I will continue to try without AutoStart.

[trim violet]

keep us posted, and if you can isolate it to being related to autostart open an issue in github

I checked the code and autorun is triggered when an aircraft change is detected

[astral zenith]

What if the plane is always the same ?
In practice I only use the Fenix.
I'll report back on GH though.

[trim violet]

it will still cause the event to fire because the plane "changes" when you load the sim, from nothing to the plane you are flying

I noticed this in yesterday's sim update 15 changelog:
SIMCONNECT
...

AircraftLoaded system event is triggered later once the aircraft is loaded
