Hello Pete,
We really enjoy using your great products; FSUIPC and WideFS. Unfortunately we are having some issues with WideFS.
Our current setup is:
"Sentinel" and "Shadow" - Two powerful i7 rigs, running w7x64 and FSX Acceleration/SP2. Latest versions of FSUIPC and WideFS.
"Nimrod" - A P4-class XP machine with wideclient.
Our network is setup correctly as are all software packages. We are successfully able to connect WideClient to either Sentinel or Shadow and are able to manipulate the simulator sessions using our custom WideClient/FSUIPC touchscreen button map. GPSOut is configured to push data via WideServer/Client.
Unfortunately, when we try to use other software via WideFS, like FS Commander or Plan-G (tested multiple versions), we get errors from those software packages informing us that they cannot connect to the FS session. Use of flight planner software with direct interaction with the simulators is absolutely critical to our project.
I did get in touch with FS Commander about this, but since we spoke I have tested the lastes version and Plan-G with the same results, so I think we can discount this being an issue with that software. The thread of our discussion is here.
We really need to solve this problem as soon as possible and would appreciate any help you can give us in doing so.
All the best,
AoA.
