Hi!
I'm having troubles with the GPSout function via WideView. I've searched a bit around the forum but didn't find the answer yet. I've just purchased FSUICP and WideFS7 a few hours ago.
I'm trying to have my Flightsim PC send an GPGGA sentence to a WideClient on another PC. I've followed the instructions from the manual. In FSX's 'add-on' menu, I enabled the GPSout to WideFS.
I've checked the settings on the FSUIPC4.ini file on the FS computer:
[GPSout]
GPSoutEnabled=No
Port=COM1
Speed=4800
Interval=2000
PosTo6Decimal=Yes
Sentences=GGA
So that seems okay to me. On the client-computer, I've added the following lines in the WideClient.ini file:
[GPSout]
Port=1
Speed=4800
When I launch the WideClient application, it waits for a connection from the hosts PC. When I fire up flightsimulator, the client says 'Connected', so that seems okay.
However, there is no serial data coming out of the serial port. I'm using 'Virtual Serial Port Emulator' to create a COM-instance which can be opened by 2 applications at the same time, and 'RealTerm' as the terminal program. I know my way around serial ports as I do a lot of engineering for my job, so I'm prety sure that my serial port setup is correct. However there's nothing coming through.
This is the WideServer.log file:
********* WideServer.DLL Log [version 7.80] *********

So I guess it has something to do with the 'Error 10013'.
However, I'm not a network specialist.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot!
