Hello, and a good day to you. I have an awkward problem with P3Dv5 and FSUIPC6, and more specifically the WideServer part of it (note FSUIPC and WiedeServer are registered).
I have 3 WideClient-computers, connecting happily to a server with P3Dv3, and -under normal circumstances- with P3Dv5. Since a few days the WideClient-computers do not connect to FSUIPC v6.1.9 (or the WideServer). The log-file of these clients say they are waiting for a connectionWideClient.log. If I go and look to the "Add-ons"-tab while running P3Dv5 I see the FSUIPC-line and when selecting this all the usual tabs are present, and the window says that FSUIPC and Wideserver are registered, with an option to "Disable WideFS" (which presumes WideFS is running). The FSUIPC6.ini-file FSUIPC6.iniunder the heading [WideServer] seems to indicate the same thing "WideFSenabled=Yes". But WideServer is not active (in the Windows-label I used to see "...Wideserver with X clients connected" or "...WideServer is waiting for clients". This is not the case.
I then choose to "Disable WideFS" in the FSUIPC-options screen, and choose "OK". The FSUIPC-options screen disappears, and a message "Saving or reloading FSUIPC settings. Please wait...". After some hours of waiting, the message is still there.
I then force P3Dv5 to stop (via Windows and not via P3Dv5, which does not give me the hand to make a choice). I then see in the FSUIPC6.ini-file that the line "WideFSenabled=Yes" has been changed to "...=No". I restart P3Dv5 again, only this time when looking in the FSUIPC-parameters from within P3Dv5, I can choose to "Enable WideFS" (logic because of the change in the FSUIPC6.ini-file), which I do, and after a few seconds, all the WideClient-computers connect (no restarting of P3Dv5 necessary)...
I do not find a WideServer.log-file, only a FSUIPC6.log-file FSUIPC6.log.
Any ideas as to what may cause this problem ?
Thank you very much for your help.
