Hi Pete, I usually run FSX with 5 clients and at times i see that WIDESERVER is counting 12, 25, 22 up to 52 clients.. it does not seem to slow anything down though. Any idea why this would be, I presume it is a network issue, is this something to worry about? Peter

I had a similar issue a few weeks back both BEX and APPCRASH after some headache i managed to overcome it bu rolling back a NVIDIA driver update that Windows had installed and then reinstalling it manually. This cured my BEX, not sure it will cure yours but it is worth a try Peter

And final on this and then you can lock or remove it.. All other clients are also interacting perfectly now.. Peter

Pete, forget it!!! I was stupid!! the Firewall was still on. i had disabled everything but the darn firewall in win7 was still there... now at least the two win7 pc's talk to each other.. now ill continue to see if i can get the older win2000k to see FSX.. Peter

that is indeed the IP address for the FSX PC. have tried as suggested no joy.. here is the wide server log ********* WideServer.DLL Log [version 7.827] ********* Blocksize guide = 8192 (double allowed) Date (dmy): 11/07/12, Time 13:12:01.559: Server name is FSX 15537 Initialising TCP/IP server 15537 Initialising UDP/IP server 16115 Broadcasting service every 1000 mSecs 284202 Closing down now ...

I have renamed the home network, all pc's are now on the same network name, disabled all security settings in WIN7, shared it all. FSX still sits there waiting for connections..and the wide client log shows this.... but does nothing...(and this wide client is also on a WIN7 pc) i can see access both PC's remotely via either of them. im lost!

Hi, I have been using Project Magenta for some 7 years, 7PC's networked and have been SOOOO happy with FS9... but 1st the old gtx8800 blew up recently and as the motherboard only accepted PCIE1 there was no way back, and to cap it the old CPU also died.. so now after 7 years (800 addons) later I feel like a total newbie as FSX simply does not seem to do things the right way. default B737. throttle is jerking up and down constantly my PFC Yoke is not really working either I gave up after 3 hours of trying to get FS2Phidget to work setting up my TQ and then to cap it all FSX keeps saying waiting for clients ... and the clients are all on waiting as well.. All in all very frustrating Firewall is disabled, server name is mentioned in FSUIPC, all PC's are on the same homegroup, most clients are running on WIN2000 Does one need to enter anything in the FSUIPC ini file perhaps pointing to the clients? Peter and yes I have read the manual

Ok Peter, I will post on the SB support forum and lets see what they say. just to clarify one thing, i did also test by simply installing Sb on the same PC as FS2004 and on the one to which the yoke is connected and then all worked ok incl the PTT? Still would like to send you the wide client log files as they seem to contain a few errors.. Rgds Peter

Hi Peter, I have a problem since some 3 weeks which I have been unable to fix and believe me I have tried everything.. I run FS2004 on a stand alone PC and have 6 clients, one of the clients run Project Magenta's MCP, PM sounds, CP flight MCP hardware and Squawk Box. Since a few weeks suddenly with no reason at all, the second I press the PTT (button 2 on my flight yoke, connected to the main FS2004 machine) it instantly triggers a Squawk box Error (I hear the "buzz" sound like we get when trying to press PTT on a non tuned com frequency) and then SB closes.. it states that an error log is being created but i have not been able to find this log file anywhere. I have tried to reinstall SB on both host and remote PC, reinstalled FSUIPC, reinstalled Wide Client/Server, reinstalled audio/video drivers on the client machine, tried to assign different commands than the PTT, tried to assign a different button on the yoke, etc. Regardless what I do the error is persistent 100% of the times. Everything else running on the client PC is unaffected. As the only link between the two is via wide client I assume this is linked to FSUIPC? What I cannot grasp is that a key press on one PC will actually result in a program error being generated on a client PC.. Any help would be very welcome indeed, if you wish to get log files etc, then mail me at p.nielsen@terra.es and we can take it from there. Rgds Peter

Hi, I am going to cross post this around to get max feed back. Since a week or so, my FS2002 has become un-usable and I have no idea how or why this is occurring or how to solve it. It starts up as normal but after some time, could be 5 minutes, could be an hour the sim decides to reload textures, and just in the split second before it does that I notice that the time changes, if it is night is becomes day and vice versa. After the textures have been reloaded I am faced with an aircraft stuck in position, nothing works except strangely enough SLEW mode. The Date has been reset to the year "ZERO" ie 0000 The GMT time has changed and states 240 !!!!!! hours 000 minutes I have tried it both on line and off line, both with and without active sky and it keeps happening in EACH flight. I have run the latest antivirus checks and there are none. I have cleaned up the scenery config file and it does not help either. Also noticed that the wide clients connected are not stable every so often I loose one connection for a split second, then it comes back. If I then switch to FS2004 everything works as normal, no problems at all and rock steady client connections. But I rarely use 2004 as my PC is quite simply not powerful enough to run it in all situations.. using the latest FSUIPC and Wideserve versions. Any ideas at all as to what could be the 2002 problem?
