Hello Pete "Oh no its him again" Have installed the update and have tried flying from various airfields with various levels of traffic. WideFs kicks in every time. The airfield l use as adefault is KEDW Edwards Airfield. Middle of the desert, but the airfield itself is quite detailed and l do have most things turned up. Is there anything l can do to get rid of it or am l thinking above my brain level? Pointed them to your forum and had the following two replies: So thats it really. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. I know somtimes you must have thought you were dealing with a complete idiot. Well lm not complete yet, but l'm working on it. Thanks again Regards Carl

Hello Pete Two things 1. Dont know why its trying to start REX2. It was un-installed last August! 2. l think you might have cracked it..... I set up a flight from SAWB, thats in the Antartic, so, no traffic. Didnt touch any of the traffic sliders. Pressed 'fly now' and WHAM.. WideFS kicked in within 10 seconds. How about that!! Regards Carl

Hello Pete Bet your thinking "Oh no not him again" I do only ever run it if l add an aircraft or airfield, but when l first had trouble with WideFS not starting, l had those aircraft i.d. across the tool bar, so l un-installed TrafficX to see if it would clear the Widefs connection problem up. IT DID. I then re-installed it and ran the TCC to set it up again. Problem returned. Un-installed it and then re-installed it, but without running TCC. No problem. I dont runTCC evrytime. No point. Dont know if it the same one, but found exe.xml(not EXE.XML) in the same folder as the FSX.cfg file. It say that it was last modified on the 13/11/2010. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" ?> - <SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0"> <Descr>Launch</Descr> <Filename>exe.xml</Filename> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad> - <Launch.Addon> <Name>Real Environment Xtreme - Weather Engine 2</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>C:\Program Files (x86)\Real Environment Xtreme 2.0\rexwxengine2.exe</Path> </Launch.Addon> - <Launch.Addon> <Name>Saitek Panel(s) Plugin for FSX</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>C:\Program Files (x86)\Saitek\Pro Flight Panels\SaiPanels.exe</Path> <CommandLine>-run</CommandLine> </Launch.Addon> - <Launch.Addon> <Name>GoFlight Hardware Interface</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>C:\Program Files (x86)\GoFlight\GFDevFSX.exe</Path> <CommandLine /> </Launch.Addon> - <Launch.Addon> <Name>Saitek Panel(s) Plugin for FSX</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>C:\Program Files (x86)\Saitek\Pro Flight Panels\SaiPanelsFS9.exe</Path> <CommandLine>-run</CommandLine> </Launch.Addon> - <Launch.Addon> <Name>Saitek DirectOutput RadioStack</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>C:\Program Files (x86)\Saitek\DirectOutput\SaiFlightSimX.exe</Path> <CommandLine>-run</CommandLine> </Launch.Addon> </SimBase.Document> Dont know how that was installed but it has been un-installed now! Yes If its a toss up between TrafficX going out the window and WideFS, then its good-bye TrafficX and hello some other AI traffic program. Any suggestions? Regards Carl

Hello Pete Glad you sorted the FAQ out. Thought it was me being thicker than l usually am. Sent you the simconnect0 file to your e-mail. Hope you got it? Have sorted out where the simconnect logging files are kept so l can get at them when ever you want. Will save a copy of each if need be. Regards Carl

Hello Pete Have got the simconnect. log sort of working. It comes up and scrolls on the desktop next to fsx in window mode but is not sending the data to a file anywhere. Not even the modules one. Any ideas Regards Carl

Hello Pete I probably wont explain this very well, but here goes. TrafficX sits inside the FSX program. Once you have installed it, it fires up automatically when you open FSX. There is a program within TrafficX called "Traffic control centre" , which you are supposed to run after first installing TrafficX so it can pick up the airfield and aircraft cfgs and create the flight plans. But it seems to do that anyway without running TCC. However.. During the course of running TCC there is a section called "Traffic movements" where you get it to "compile trafficx flight plans" It asks you were you want them stored. In the instrctions that come with it, it says to put them in and over-write the trafficX.bgl file. Once you have done everything its asks, unless you want to add/remove somthing, i.e. aircraft, airfield, flight plan etc, you dont need to run it again. The problem l am having only occures after l run the TCC. Thinking back, TrafficX hasn't run quite right since l moved on to Windows 7. It ran ok in Vista. Dont know if any of this helps Regards Carl

Hello Pete Here is the XML.DLL log you asked for. It say that the last time is was modified was 17/11/10. Dont know if it is of any help. Am trying to work out the simconnect thing.

Me again Sorry Pete Must have my stupid head on. Tried to follow the instructions in FAG but dont understand most of them. Whats mean. And have tried to create a file called Simconnect.ini, but it appears l already have one.Regards Carl

Hello Pete Sorry to be a pain Have typed in the search box DLL.XML and FSX.CFG No luck. Can you give me a path to them please? Regards Carl

Hello Pete Well thats odd. All three logs were taken within a couple of minutes of each other. Will have another look Any suggestions? Regards Carl

Hello Pete Dont know how much of a help these will be. WideFS.log and Wideclient log were took this morning and FSUIPC.log was taken tonight. I have been running FSX most of the day with TrafficX t/c/c not active and everything has been ok. If these are of no use,l can reinstate Traffic t/c/c again and run FSx for abit and re-copy the logs. I can do this over the weekend and send them again on Monday. anyway here goes ********* FSUIPC4, Version 4.60a by Pete Dowson ********* Reading options from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Modules\FSUIPC4.ini" Trying to connect to SimConnect Acc/SP2 Oct07 ...

Hello Pete Thanks for coming back to me so soon. I do not think for one minute that WideFS is the problem. I am as sure as l can be that TrafficX control centre is the cause. In answer to your questions. What was "showing a list of AI aircraft"? .............On the bar next to where it says "add-ons" See attached pete dowson 1 TrafficX is in no way related to WideFS. How exactly are you detecting whether WideFS is "working" or not?..............Because it has always displayed somthing either "with WideServer: waiting for clients" or ""with WideServer: n connected". And on the other computer wideclient is displaying "Waiting for connection" plus the fact that nothing starts to display on FSC. Why not paste here the WideServer and WideClient log files, which would be the first place to look to determine if there's a problem? I can't do anything for you with no information....... Hopefully the two files are attached aswell. Hope all this helps Regards Carl Vokes P.S. Have tried to upload the two files WideServer and Wide client to this page but it says that "You aren't permitted to upload this kind of file." Here is my e-mail address, perhaps l can send them to you from there. carl-dee@platts65.freeserve.co.uk

Hello Pete Followed yout instructions to the letter and everything ALMOST worked out fine. Couldn't get WideFS to work. Instead of saying "wide server 1 connected" it was showing me a list of AI aircraft. AI traffic is supplied by TrafficX. I un-installed TrafficX and tried again and it connected up first time. Re installed Traffic X and used their Traffic control centre and WideFS stopped working again. Un-installed and re-installed TrafficX and used it without running traffic control centre and WideFs worked fine. Did this several times, with the same results. I am going to send a copy of this e-mail to Just Flight, who make TrafficX and see what they say. Thought you might like to know, just incase sombody else has a simular problem. Regards Carl Vokes

Hello Pete thank you for the speedy reply Sorry didnt explain myself very well. I am running FSX gold on two computers. FSX on one and FSC on the other, linked by your very good program. Last August 2009, l bought FSUIPC 4.53 and wideFS. I am having a couple of minor problems with TrafficX and FSC. I have been told that having the latest FSUIPC and wideFS might make a difference. I was just wondering if l would have to re-install some of my add-ons and my Go-flight instruments? And do l just un-install the old FSUIPC using add/remove programs in W7 Regards Carl Vokes
