Hi John, Goes to show how active i am these days..:-) Anyway the culprit was or must have been a windows update that for some reason "unshared" my main P3D folder... once I shared it again all was fine and the various clients connected straight away. Now on to the next problem as i also made bad mistake to update all Project Magenta applications and overwrite PMsystem without a backup and now cant get the flaps to extend at all... Peter

Hi Pete, From one day to another, i can only guess after a windows update in the background my client PC's connect fine to the server PC running PD3 V5.3 but nothing happens and P3D just sits there with the text line Waiting for Clients. as you can see form the log files the actual connection to the pc running P3D (Sim2017) is ok, but P3D is not picked up. I also have a new Vodafone router and having spoken to their support team they assure me nothing is being filtered or blocked from their side... Any idea what could be happening here? things used to be so simple back in the Win98 days... Cheers Peter WideClientlogpin.txt Wideserverlogpin.txt

Tks Pete, I can confirm I use Active Sky for P3D4 and also that i renamed the path or PC Name as suggested above. The result is that PMGetWeather now shows a positive in that it it saving a BMP image every 10 or so seconds called myRadarFile.bmp and indeed this bmp is saved within the NetDir, however it saves a black rectangle. no returns no nothing and i have placed the a/c in different places with rain, storm etc to test. therefore I wonder if I am missing any other command entries in different places. Tks Peter PS BTW what is wrong with PM support? Don't they have a support forum now? they have note had a support forum since 2012 or thereabouts.

Hi Pete. Looks like Enrico has at long last released an update to his PMGetWeather that now appears to allow for Active sky weather radar to display into the Project Magenta PFD's but as usual his instructions are vague..as this is what it says to do. FSUIPC.INI file: [General] Section ASNwxRadarBitmapPath=\\PMComputer\NetDir\myRadarFile.bmp pmGetweather.ini file: ActiveSkyFile=\\PMComputer\NetDir\myRadarFile.bmp //This is the file you have defined in the FSUIPC.INI file //For instance: ASNwxRadarBitmapPath=\\PMComputer\NetDir\myRadarFile.bmp //If it is on a networked computer then you have to specify //the filename: ActiveSkyFile=\\PMComputer\NetDir\myRadarFile.bmp I am confused and have not been able to get this to work my set up is as follows I have Prepa3d V4.1 running on a PC Called P3D2017 I have Active Sky Next on the same PC. I.e P3D2017 I have Project Magenta Captain Displays on a PC Called CPT I have Project Magenta CDU on a PC called CDU and on this PC i have the NETDIR folder So looking at the instructions above what do i need to do as i cant get it to work.. do i need also to run anything within Active Sky?? Cheers and Thanks Peter Nielsen
