Hi Peter, OK, your sentence mentioning Simconnect, I will try down this avenue then as I do not think its was working correctly after the initial install. I have never had display problems in FSX with the very limited time I have had it on my system. I keep my system in very good order as well as my 4 other systems that run different FS programs with multi-displays, as most issues I do sort out myself, sometimes spending hours rectifying an issue. I do not resort to posting on support forums lightly, without exploring obvious avenues beforehand. I do apologise if you think you are getting blamed for display issues, I just had a small issue, Ill go back and play now.

Hi Peter, I thought I would say thank you for the many years of dedication to the FS community with FSUIPC, I don'y know where we would be without it, quite frankly, I never had a chance to say thanks as I do not have the need to post much but visit quite regularly to see the latest goings on. I write to you with a small problem with my unregistered FSUIPC4, I feel the need now to start to move over to the "dreaded" FSX, its been on and off my hard drive many times. OK, when I am in full screen mode with FSX, if I use the Windows key (between the ALT and CTRL) to go to the desktop, and switch back to FSX it returns to the screen without any problems, however when I install the FSUIPC and do the same, it will not bring FSX back into view, sometime I have to repeatedly hit it about 5 or 6 times to get it back into full screen mode. If I uninstall FSUIPC, I have no problem, I can happily switch to and fro. I did a search for this and remeber in one post that yousaid that FSUIPC does nothing with display settings, but obviously there is a problem here. I have again uninstalled FSX, as I cannot continue with this niggly problem and was wondered if you are able to shed some light on what the problem might be. I am using 1280x1024 and my destop is at 1024x768 resolution. I have tried to match the desktop res with the FSX res but to no avail. Steve

I followed Pete's advice and hardwired the FS PC to the WAG54G and left the other 2 PCS on wireless networking. Ran to Frankfurt and did not experience any problems whatsoever. It looks like ( in my case, anyway ) that the linksys hardware may be prone to overload, might be an interesting tip for anyone else that goes down this wireless route. For info, the "Instructor Station" as I call it was running : Active Sky 2004, Radar Contact and British Airways Virtual Software which basically is a flight monitor with moving map. Thanks again Pete for the suggestion, :D :D

Hi Peter, Its the first time I have contacted you on the forum and I would like to thank you for your quick response, time and possible workarounds. The support you give is phenomenal, I will try some things out as you have suggested. 8)

Hi Peter, Many thanks so far, here is my server log, but a strange thing happened whilst pulling this log from my PCs which are upstairs, the connection dropped, and the WAG54G needed a reboot, the PCs upstairs had also dropped out of the network. I am starting to think if an overload problem has caused this to happen. My connection downstairs is low and I know about this For a lilttle info the PC running the WAG54G is wired to the PC, and the other 4 PCs are wireless and about 3 feet away and the connection speed is 54MBPS ********* WideServer.DLL Log [version 6.414] ********* Blocksize guide = 4096 (double allowed) Date (dmy): 04/12/04, Time 10:11:20.171: Server name is FLIGHTSIM 111813 Initialising TCP/IP server 111828 Initialising IPX/SPX server 111844 ServerNode=21139.43674.0.0.256 122891 Restarting service due to total lack of use 127219 Incoming connection Accepted ok (skt=3408) 127219 Connected to computer "SERVER" (skt=3408) 156250 Incoming connection Accepted ok (skt=3288) 156266 Connected to computer "FLIGHTSIM2" (skt=3288) 222141 Incoming connection Accepted ok (skt=3436) 222141 Connected to computer "FLIGHTSIM3" (skt=3436) 5050485 Retried 20 times: sends blocked for over 5 secs!

Hi everyone, I really do not know where to start on this one but here goes. I run 4 PCs running Wide Fs ( Peter - the test version on PM ) using TCPIP with each CPU with its own IP address I am running the PM CDU, GC on 1, GC on another 1 and on my admin cpu I am running Radar Contact, Activesky2004 and the BAV software. My network setup is Wireless using the Linksys WAG54G and occasionally this network is dropping out. I cannot pinpoint the frequency of these drop outs, sometimes I get no problems but this morning for example, it dropped out 5 times which was quite frustrating. Peter, are running the deafults on wideserver and client doing the job or can you tell me of any possible tweaks to any initializing log that may improve my situation. I have called linksys and they have given me the best possible settings for the ADSL Gateway/Router. Now it may be Active sky when it is updating and the amount of traffic that the network is passing through and it may be bottlenecking somewhere. Any help would be most grateful, even if a certain setting might do the trick. If you need any more info, please let me know.
