Hello, Pete,
first congratulations for your project FSUIPC. For the first time, I have questions because I am working on a program for the FSX. The Idea is to share the cockpit with another pilot and to bulid a server for this function. We are working in a forum for beginners and we are looking for a platform to share the cockpit and the instruments in the first time for the standard fsx airplanes. The option to make this via Gamespy is not acceptable for us, because of many problems with the connection and the response times.
So the idea was born to build an own server like fshost or so to do this.
Now my questions to you:
Is there any chance to couple to fsx computers via the FSUIPC and a extenal server? My Idea is there to read the parameters via FSUIPC on one Computer, serialize the datastream to a server wich is reachable via the Internet, and routing the datastream to another machine, connected to this server, deserialize the datastream and write the parameters via FSUIPC to this machine.
Do you think, that this procedure is successful?
I did not found any software with this functionality, except the connection via Gamespy.
The communication between FSUIPC and WideFS works fine here in my local network. For this scenario it is required to make connections on tcp/udp ports. Which tcp/udp ports are in use in this scenario?
I hope you can give me a hint how we can realize such a project.
Best regards
Holger
