Hi Dean,
>> What I've also noticed is that when the main FSX window opens, in windowed mode, the title bar only displays 'MS FSX'. It's only after a few seconds that it displays 'MS FSX with wideserver:waiting for clients'. Maybe it's been that way since a previous FSUIPC upgrade. I only noticed since i switched to window mode when setting up Edzok cameras. <<
No, it has ALWAYS waited until FS is fully ready to fly before enabling. It always delayed a few seconds to let things settle. This is as it has been for 12 years.
151 Trying TCP/IP host "Fs-Rig" port 8002 ...
151Okay, IP Address = 81.200.64.50
Is that REALLY the IP address of your "Fs-Rig"? Usually they are 192.168.xxx.yyy. That looks more like an Internet or Router external IP address. Have you explicitly given Wideclient that IPaddress, or it that what it gets automaticaly? If so, you have a router problem. Try giving the IP address explicitly.
=================================================================
The FS-Rigs IP addy is currently 192.168.0.195. If I explicitly state this then connecting is not an issue. If I state 'FS-Rig' as I always have done, I get that error. No idea where that IP is being called from as my IP address right now begins 86.25.**.** It means I now have to check the IP everytime I start the FS-Rig as the network gets shut down every night and three, sometimes four machines aren't always started in the same order.
Whatever has changed on the client or the server, is fairly recent. Maybe a new piece of software or an update.
