Hello, I am having the same problem trying to get FliteDeck to use the GPSout feature of FSUIPC. I have been using FSUIPC and WideView for years. It is an amazing add on that I consider to be a necessity for all advanced simmers. It is very powerful and everything is very easy to use. I have never had a problem getting any features to work until now. I use JeppView/FliteDeck on a tablet pc in my aircraft. I just got a new tablet so I wanted to use the old one to run JeppView/FliteDeck at home connected to FS over my network using the GPSout functionality of FSUIPC/WideView. I am running FSX on a Vista Home Premium 32 bit system. My client machine for running JeppView/FliteDeck is also running Vista Home Premium 32 bit. FSUIPC and WideView are all set up and working great to connect other programs such as FSCommander. I can't seem to get FliteDeck to see the GPSout data though. I have FSUIPC4.ini configured on the FSX machine and I have WideClient.ini set up on the remote machine. On the remote machine I installed and set up the MixW driver.
FSUIPC4.ini on the FSX machine looks like this.

WideClient.ini on the remote machine looks like this:

On the remote machine I went to the device manager and set up MixW Serial Port Bridge like this:
Pair # = Pair #1 First emulated port = COM5 Second emulated port = COM6
I go into the FliteDeck 3 Setup and try to configure the GPS but it can not find the GPS. Am I doing something wrong, am I using the wrong GPSout outputs, or am I missing something altogether. The only thing I have noticed even though WideFS seems to work for connecting programs to FSX such as FSCommander, I am getting an error in the WideServer log. I am not sure why I am getting this error now that I added GPSout. Everything else still works though.
Here is the WideServer log:
