Pete Thanks for the clarification. However I must say that I am not very happy about having to pay twice for WideFS keys i.e once to access FSX and a second to access FS9. With all my other software for scenery, aircraft, fscommander, etc I have only paid once and been able to download both the fsx and fs9 versions. In fact if I now buy a WideFS key for FS9 then the total cost for the 2 keys (for FS9 and FSX) will have cost a lot more than than FSCommander itself, surely this is not fair. John

Jim I appreciate that you are trying to help me but i must admit I am still confused! You said "If you want to run any software over a network with FSUIPC3 and FS04, you will need to register FSUIPC 3 and WideFS 6 by purchasing keys." This answer to me seems to say that I have to purchase 2 keys, one for FSUIPC and one for WideFS6. Is this correct as you then go on to say "You need to purchase another key because FSUIPC 3 and FSUIPC 4 are different pieces of software for different versions of FS." Do you mean another key (singular) or 2 keys ?

Hi Jim Thanks for the reply. However I did not purchase FSUIP4 to run FSCommander only the network access key for WideFS. I am therefore assumming that I do not need to purchase FSUIP3! Is this correct? Also as I have already purchased a network access key for EUR 28.56 and I do not see why I have to purchase another one. All my add-ons work on both FSX and FS9 without having to purchase them twice! John

I have been using FSCommander on my laptop and FSX on my desktop for some 6 months using a WideFS7 access key. I have now installed fs9 together with my fs9 version add-ons on the desktop. On reading the documentation it implies that I have to purchase an additional WideFS6 access key to run FSCommander on my laptop to link it with FS9 on the desktop. Is this correct as I was assuming that that one key was all that I needed.

Hi Pete Just wanted to say that everything seems to be working fine. I have FSCommander working remotely to my fsx via widefs and GMAP working on a second remote pc/monitor via its own simconnect configuration. I now have an awesome fsx system. Thanks John

OK Pete that's cool. John

Hi Pete Thanks for the clarification. Will I also still be able to use GMAP from FSWidgets on my laptop as it also uses the SimConnect facility and works like a dream? I mean will it co-exist with WIDEFS without any problems? John

If I run FSX on a Desktop under Vista and FSCommander on my Laptop under XP can I use FSCommander even if FSX in running in Full screen? What do I need to purchase to run this configuration is it just the full version of FSUIPC?
