Yeah understood, thanks John. There’s definitely data inside the flt file. I’ll check back here next week or the one after.

I’ve started doing long haul overnight flights and since msfs has a tendency to give up on itself a few hours before I wake up again, I thought the autosave functionality would be very useful. sure enough, it is dutifully creating saves every five minutes as instructed but when I try to load one of the .flt files in msfs’ world map, it doesn’t actually load any flight data or info. Nothing seems to happen. Am I not doing this right? I found some old threads about this issue but they were from the fall of 2020 and indicated that maybe this had been resolved. Doesn’t seem to be working though… I’m on SU8 and the latest FSUIPC. Cheers

Here is the log entry after adding the ServerIPAddr and Protocol values: ********* WideClient Log [version 7.159] Class=FS98MAIN ********* Date (dmy): 01/01/21, Time 18:13:33.375: Client name is DEFINER4 93 LUA: "C:\Users\jopee\Documents\WideFS\Initial.LUA": not found 93 Attempting to connect now 93 Trying TCP/IP addr 192.168.10.50, port 8002 ... 21093 Error on client pre-Connection Select() [Error=10060] Connection timed out 21093 Ready to try connection again 22109 Attempting to connect now 66156 Trying TCP/IP addr 192.168.10.50, port 8002 ... 120859 New Client Application: "flylivestudio" (Id=11080) 132218 Trying TCP/IP addr 192.168.10.50, port 8002 ... The server log says nothing beyond the startup and the server name. I also tried this by using ServerName instead of ServerIPAddr, in which case it resolves the servername properly to the IP but gives the same timeout error. Airplane is running on the runway and FSUIPC shows as being connected to the simulator. Client app flylivestudio is also connected to the wideclient. Follow up, I disabled WideFS on the server, which caused FSUIPC to close. Then reopened it and this time, WideFS was already enabled (didn't have to start it via the WideFS > Enable command) and now the connection works. But this is sort of my problem, it's not consistent. Sometimes it works, other times no matter what I do, it times out. ********* WideClient Log [version 7.159] Class=FS98MAIN ********* Date (dmy): 01/01/21, Time 18:18:18.424: Client name is DEFINER4 93 LUA: "C:\Users\jopee\Documents\WideFS\Initial.LUA": not found 93 Attempting to connect now 93 Trying TCP/IP addr 192.168.10.50, port 8002 ... 7109 Connection made okay!

I've been trying to figure out what the right sequence is to get WideClient to connect to WideFS reliably without any luck. Certain times, it connects and passes across data perfectly fine (from FS2020 via FSUIPC7 latest beta with WideFS enabled over network to latest WideClient and then the FlyLive app). It works great, when it connects. However, I am having the toughest time getting it to actually connect when I want it to. Perfect example, I'm in the plane in FS2020, FSUIPC7 is connected to the Simulator and WideFS is enabled. I launch the WideClient and it connects. Yay. Same exact scenario after closing everything down and doing it again and WideClient just sits at "Waiting for a connect". The log files aren't terribly helpful since they lack details beyond successful connection. This isn't an issue on my network or firewalls since the connection works perfectly fine about 50% of the time and I have no idea why it works sometimes and doesn't work other times. Is there a recommend sequence in which MSFS, FSUIPC7, WideFS, WideClient, and the app consuming the data are supposed to be started?
