  1. Yes. That's what WideFS is for. WideFS extends the FSUIPC interface over a Network of PCs.

    Ah, well, of course the WideClient part of WideFS only runs on PCs under Windows (XP or later). To talk to other types of computer you'd need to run a program on the Server to do the interfacing for you. You could certainly do it pretty easily with a Lua plug-in. Please see the examples already provided in the package in your FSUIPC documents folder. There's a master/slave example, for instance, using TCP/IP to slave a Networked copy of FS from another. Half of that would be a start.

    Thanks so much Pete, I must admit, I only peeked at the SDK and skipped the LUA part entirely. Ideally I would like to just start up a program on a remote machine and have it "sniff" for running FSUIPC instances on the network. I may have to build a bridge to get it there using LUA or a stand-alone C# service using the FSUIPC Managed API.

    Thanks again, I'll dive into the Master/slave LUA stuff now and see.

  2. Hi everyone,

    Is it possible to communicate with FSUIPC over TCP/IP? I want to make an app that uses FSUIPC but is cross-platform and can run on any OS. The reason being, I want to use my dozen or so Raspberry Pi's as displays for my cockpit. I want to write some software that displays flight screens through the raspberry pi from data gathered from FSUIPC.

    Is there a way to read/write offsets over TCP?

    Thanks.
