Ok thanks for that. Its seems all that is needed is WideFS7 registration key for Pilot2ATC work. Mark

Hi, I have a registered copy of FSUIPC6 and am looking at using WideFS to use ATC program Pilot2ATC remotely on a laptop. There is a try before you buy link on Simmarket which I have downloaded as I would like to ensure I get everything up and running they way I want it. There is not a demo registration key provided and I assumed I would need this. None the less I gave it a go and WideClient could not see the server. So I added ServerName and Protocol entries and now the log below ********* WideClient Log [version 7.156] Class=FS98MAIN ********* Date (dmy): 04/06/20, Time 15:36:28.835: Client name is TALLA 266 LUA: "C:\Users\mark\Documents\P3D Addons\WideClient7156\Initial.LUA": not found 266 Attempting to connect now 281 Trying TCP/IP host "MUSKY" port 8002 ... 281 ... Okay, IP Address = 192.168.0.10 Seems to be able to connect to the server but when I try to connect the Addon Pilot2ATC I get the error ********* WideClient Log [version 7.156] Class=FS98MAIN ********* Date (dmy): 04/06/20, Time 15:55:59.666: Client name is TALLA 266 Attempting to connect now 266 LUA: "C:\Users\mark\Documents\P3D Addons\WideClient7156\Initial.LUA": not found 282 Trying TCP/IP host "MUSKY" port 8002 ... 282 ... Okay, IP Address = 192.168.0.10 21282 Error on client pre-Connection Select() [Error=10060] Connection timed out 21282 Ready to try connection again 22282 Attempting to connect now 66313 Trying TCP/IP host "MUSKY" port 8002 ... 66313 ...

Okay, IP Address = 192.168.0.10 186469 New Client Application: "Pilot2ATC_2018" (Id=1608) So is this just because I do not have WIDEFS7 registered copy or is there something else wrong with configuration Thanks in advance

Hi Pete, Attached is my recently wxstation.bin file zipped with 7-zip Hope this helps Mark wxstationlist.zip

First thing is disregard my comments on PF3 no longer working when this file is deleted. That was me being stupid. Deleting this file does resolve the problem but only for a minute or two and then the problems comes back. All OK during ATIS, clearance taxi, but by the time you are at the runway threshold the issue is back. I need to investigate this further over the weekend and will post an update. Unfortunately I do not have dropbox and there is a size limit of 0.02mb so I can't attach it to this note Mark

Thanks Pete As suggested I deleted the file and this resolved the problem however, and I have tried this several times with the same result, with this file deleted, ATC addon PF3, works as normal up until the point I request taxi. PF3 then responds "Stand by" followed by another "Stand by" and that is it PF3 stops responding. When I restart everything again the "wxstationlist.bin file" is back and so is the problem with the simmconnect window, but PF3 works normally again. I have posted an update on the support topic I created on the PF3 forum with this new info, but this is looking more and more like some weird things are going in P3DV4.3 and I am going to try to get as much background info as I can. Thanks again Pete, this wxstationlist.bin does seem to at the very heart of this issue Mark

I am currently going round the houses on this weird problem I am having. Recently using Prepar3D V4.3 FSUIPC 5.132c It is as if the simmconnect message window is set to always on top so it grabs focus back to P3D window. I am using only a single pc so for example I may be looking at a chart or even in the middle of reading an email during a flight and any output from third party ATC addon (PF3) even background ATC chatters from the ATC addon brings the focus immediately back to P3D window. While a simmconnect message is being displayed I just cannot move away from the P3D window until the message windows is closed. I've looked Prepar3D options but do not see any option that explains this behaviour. This only just recently shown up as an issue but I cannot say it happened because of upgrade to v4.3. I have already had the 3rd party ATC addon cleared as a suspect. My current most likely suspects are Prepar3Dv4.3, the simmconnect version installed by Active Sky and FSUIPC v5.132 and am just going through a process of elimination. Of course I cannot rule out this being a windows 7 problem Any ideas would be greatly appreciated Thanks

Yes Pete you are correct when I checked there were RCD files being saved and what I couldn't remember was I had to select the RCD file in Radar Contact rather than the Autosaved file in FSX. Many thanks Mark

Hi, I hate when this happens. Ages ago I came across instructions on how to set up autosave to include Radar Contact state as well as everything else. So if you had a FSX CTD and restarted the current flight you still had ATC from Radar Contact . It worked really well. I have had to rebuild PC and for the life of me I cannot find out how to set this up again. Would appreciated any help. Thanks in advance. Mark
