OK, not wanting to speak too soon, but I think that I've solved the problem by changing the DNS server configurations within my router to use the openDNS servers instead of TalkTalk's. So far, so good... Kind regards Gary

Hey Luke Thanks for your fast response and explanation ! However, although I'm pretty PC-Savvi, I'm no network expert ! Please could you expand upon the above - what do you mean when you say, "entry in your hosts file" ? Many thanks Gary

Hello For a very long time, I have had no issues connecting WideFS to FSUIPC running on my FSXSE server. However, for the last week or so, WideFS has been unable to connect. Here is an exert from the WideClient log file: ********* WideClient Log [version 6.999y] Class=FS98MAIN ********* Date (dmy): 06/05/17, Time 14:57:03.378: Client name is BEDROOM4-1 234 LUA: "C:\Program Files (x86)\FSX Addons\WideClient\Initial.LUA": not found 265 Attempting to connect now 281 Trying to locate server: Need details from Server Broadcast 281 Failed to connect: waiting to try again 2325 Attempting to connect now 45162 Trying to locate server: Need details from Server Broadcast 191835 Server = BEDROOM4-3 191944 Trying TCP/IP host "BEDROOM4-3" port 8002 ... 191944 ... Okay, IP Address = 92.242.132.16 212957 Error on client pre-Connection Select() [Error=10060] Connection timed out 212957 Ready to try connection again 214985 Attempting to connect now 214985 Giving up server, looking for another! 214985 Server = BEDROOM4-3 215016 Trying TCP/IP host "BEDROOM4-3" port 8002 ... 215016 ... Okay, IP Address = 92.242.132.16 238026 Server = BEDROOM4-3 I can see that the problem is obviously the "rogue" IP address of 92.242.132.16 being returned by FSUIPC. Firstly, let me stress that I know that this problem has nothing at all to do with WideFS or FSUIPC. I believe that the issue is related to my router and ISP - TalkTalk as I believe that this has something more to do with DNS Hacking ? For some reason, when asked by FSUIPC for my server's IP address, the router is returning 92.242.132.16, not the correct one. Further investigations have shown this IP address to belong to an organisation named Barefruit Error Handling who have some affiliation with TalkTalk. However, I'm now at a loss how, or if, I can overcome this problem ? I have read that sometimes, a new router is the only way ? Any help or advise would be much appreciated ! Kind regards Gary

Hi all Looking through the FSUIPC4 Offstet Status Manual, toggling aircraft shadows could be made possible using offet, x11A4 - just wondering if there are any plans to do so ? Sceneries like Aerosoft's Rotterdam X (for FSX) can be a bit 'awkward' when it comes to displaying FS9 AI when aicraft shadows are turned on, so allocating a button press to toggle them on/off would be very convenient. Regards Gary

Hello All I'm currently attempting to adjust the trim of the PMDG NGX via my Saitek yoke using the left-hand rocker switch. The rocker switch has been allocated the commands, Offset Sword Decrement / Offset Sword Increment, with parameters of 328/-16383 and 328/16383 respectively (exactly the same setup as used on my iFly 737NG). However, these appear to have no effect in the PMDG NGX, ie, no trim wheel movement. What's interesting is that if I allocate the trim up to the standard elevator trim up command (which is too slow for my taste), the trim wheel moves up. If I they subsequently attempt to trim down using the Offset Sword Decrement, I (as stated above) see no effect. However, if I then trim up again, the trim pointer on the centre pedestal immediately 'jumps' down several positions before starting to move back up. From this, I'm thinking that although trimming down using the Offset Sword Decrement command 'appears' to have had no effect (because the trim wheel does not move), the fact that when I then start trimming back up the position indicator moves down first suggesting that it did actually move, but gave no visual indication of this ??? To get around the problem I thought that I could setup mouse macros to the trim wheel actions, but although I start a mouse macro, I just don't seem to be able to get a recognisable macro action when I mouse click either of the trim wheel positions. I'm currently using FSUIPC version 4.7.5.1 Hope this makes sense. Regards Gary

That did the trick, Pete!!! I now realise that I have only just scraped the surface of FSUIPC's capabilities... Many thanks for your prompt assistance. Regards Gary

Hi I've noticed that when using FSUIPC 3.98 (FS2004) to control elevator trim via a CH Products yoke I'm seeing a very slow response. The trim wheel within my iFly 737NG makes one movement once per second (approx) with auto-repeat enabled. I also see the same effect when using the default 172. If I don't use FSUIPC to control the joystick, then the trim response is immediate. Any help much appreciated Regards Gary
