Background: I used to have all my FS apps on one computer....FSX, ActiveSky X, SB4, DVA's ACARS, etc. etc. Now, my desktop only runs FSX while my laptop runs everything else. Problem: How do I setup a PTT button for my yoke that will interact with SB4 running on the laptop? BTW, I have registered copies of both FSUIPC & WideFS. Also, the networking and communication between my laptop and desktop is great. SB4 and ActiveSky X work flawlessly. I am just trying to figure out if I can setup my PTT button on my yoke (which is obviously connected to my FSX computer) to communicate to SB4 that is running on my desktop. Thanks in advance!

I'm at my wits end! .... I have followed the simconnect directions for connecting SB4 to FSX perfectly, multiple timesand I still can not get SB4 to run from my laptop while FSX is running on my desktop ...I've opened ports, disabled firewalls, tried new installations, tried different versions of simconnect, the sharing of folders is all setup too, butall have failed. :( I have bought FSUIPC and WideFS. I currently run WidFS on my laptop and can run DVA's ACARS (http://www.deltava.org/) program through it fineso I know my WideFS is set up and running correctly. Here is my question .... can I run SB4 on my laptop, through WideFS, and forget about the entire simconnect thing? ...if so, how to I go about doing it? Much thanks in advance! Mike
