Sounds good Pete. Are there any specific settings required/recommended by you ? Can I just change protocoll in FSUIPC and WIDEFS ini.files ? Kind regards Tony

Hi Pete, Will the UDP protocoll improve connections between computers as regards PM software ? Kind regards Tony

Much later : It appears to be an hydraulic problem. With engines running all moves smoothly. Speaking about a realistic model..... Thanks Pete for your detailed response. There was definitely something wrong with my "calibration" work. After another thorough reading of the numbered steps of your manual and following your remarks I obtained the undermentioned .ini file. Regrettably the Yoke's aileron and elevator still stutters and gets stuck in different positions. The steering tiller is working fine, with our without calibrating. As regards the throttle ( Both Yoke and throttle are made by Van den Broeck in Belgium) it is connected to a client PC and running with a driver and phidgets.msi. Ive never had any trouble before with this set-up. Can you pse have a look again at the ini-file and give me your comment : [JoystickCalibration] ExcludeThrottleSet=Yes ExcludeMixtureSet=Yes ExcludePropPitchSet=Yes SepRevsJetsOnly=No ApplyHeloTrim=No FlapsSetControl=0 FlapDetents=No ReverserControl=66292 Reverser1Control=66422 Reverser2Control=66425 Reverser3Control=66428 Reverser4Control=66431 MaxThrottleForReverser=256 AileronTrimControl=0 RudderTrimControl=0 CowlFlaps1Control=0 CowlFlaps2Control=0 CowlFlaps3Control=0 CowlFlaps4Control=0 MaxSteerSpeed=60 Rudder=-16384,-512,0,16383 Aileron=-16125,-512,0,16383 Elevator=-16384,-512,0,16383 LeftBrake=-16251,2340 RightBrake=-16384,0 SteeringTiller=-16384,0,512,16383 [Axes] 0=0R,256,D,36,0,0,0 1=1X,256,D,1,0,0,0 2=1Y,256,D,2,0,0,0 3=2X,256,D,7,0,0,0 4=2Y,256,D,8,0,0,0 5=2Z,256,D,3,0,0,0 [JoyNames] AutoAssignLetters=No 0=WingMan Extreme Digital 3D 1=Logitech Attack 3 2=CH PRO PEDALS USB Kind regards Tony

Aileron and elevator is not moving smoothly and position gets stuck. Ive tried several USB connections in vain. The only thing "weird" I can find is that : The aileron IN and OUT are showing 16380 but when setting the axis it always only shows 10000, as you can see from above extract of the .ini file. Can you assist pse? Kind regards Tony

Hi Pete, Ive been using Wideclient 6.763 on my "Radar Contact" PC ever since. Now want to upgrade to FSUIPC 3.85 and Widefs 6.78 (and latest versions of PM). Can i use your latest version without problems with Radar Contact ? Kind regards Tony

Hi Pete, Have tested 6.761 during full flight EHRD-EDDH and all running progs remained connected. 6.761 however delays the reaction time too much and this is very noticeable with e.g pmSystems (when you start to think it does not work, there comes the light...). It furthermore has a conflict (neglectable because only when running idle) with the Cockpitsonic B737 driver for panels and gauges. Therefore I will only use your modified version for RC4.01. This solves the problem I initially had . Thanks again for your assistance. Kind regards Tony

I just unzipped and ran the 6.76 version in a new directory for a clean install/use. (A bit cautious may be but I learned the hard way with new software versions). No problem. I now copied the 6.76 exe file in the old directory and overwrote. Works fine. Thanks for your continuing support and assistance. Tony

Hi Pete, Tried it on PMSystems/PMInstructor , all work and CPU load appears to be lower BUT there is NO "User part" in the .ini file (e.g. for runready etc ). Tony

Hi Pete, Installed your special Wideclient version and it works like a charm. Take it this version is only to be used for RC4. Tony

Hi Pete, From the moment RC4 started running on the XP-2000 PC the CPU use rose to 100 %. When I closed FS , it immy dropped to minimum.

Hi Pete, Understand you also use RC4 and I wonder if you can help out / point me in the direction for a solution to the following problem. For easy reference I may refer to part of my correspondance with JD on his RC4 forum : quote RC4 and Txt display are the only 2 programs running on a client PC (Windows XP - 1.9 Ghz) connected with FS through a registered Wideclient/Wideserver v6.75. Most of the time there is a big delay and upon checking it appears the CPU usage of the client PC is practically always 100 %. Monitoring the Wideclient CPU-use during flight I noticed that : - just the connection between RC and FS shows a 100 % usage - when there is an action in RC (e.g. heading call) the usage drops ; - when FS is paused the usage drops considerably ; Adding extra memory to the PC does not change anything . RC works, but the high CPU load too often causes big delay in reponse time and leads to skipping / mixing up some calls. unquote I have never had any such problem with Wideclient on any of my other 5 PC's clients in the same network even not with PMSystems/PMInstructor on 1 PC. JD is checking with his beta testers (since he is not using wideclient) . What is your experience and is there anything I can do about it ? Kind regards Tony
