Peter, I guess I wasn't clear. I am running wideFS and activesky 2012 on one laptop and widefs and radar contact on another. The RC4 machine is an i7 with 8 gb ram. The activesky machine is an older intel duo machine with 3 gb ram. I asked about the FSUIPC weather setting because I have seen numerous posts about setting weather parameters there for active sky and rc4. It has been very confusing to follow. I will be purchasing a USB nic for for the rc4 machine and the activesky machine is now plugged directly. Thank good for wideFS!!!

Thanks for the reply. I currently use WIFI for the 2 wideFS machines so I will wire them up and see what happens. My comment about "poor FSUIPC configuration" is about the specific weather settings options I have been reading so much about. I am not sure how to setup Active SKY and FSUIPC and RC4 together so everything is harmonious. My concern is that I am having issues with RC4 becoming very slow to keyboard input or stops responding to input all together. All the things I have read discuss slow downs with RC4 but from what I can tell they have been addressed with FSUIPC updates. The activeky snapshot thing happens when i enter the flight plan in AS2012. It then inject graphic snapshots to make the route more realistic. It running on a low end machine may be the cause of that slow down. Thanks again for your time.

I am running FSX with Fspassenger on one PC, Activesky 2012 and wideFS on a seperate laptop, and Plan-g and Radar contact 4 with wideFS on another laptop. Everything works ok but I highly doubt I have them all configured/setup properly to make the most of them. I currently run radar contact on a high end laptop with plan g but I am think activesky needs more horsepower since it takes several minutes to install snapshots before flight. I see frequent "slow downs" with radar contact but I am not sure if that is a resource issue with laptop or a symptom of poor fsuipc configuration. I am not new to flying or computers. I am very new to flying at this level and trying make the many vendor products work seamlessly. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks Rob

i turned the firewall on with the port excluded..... strange i know.

I was able to get it to connect only after I turned the firewall on and started a flight. After that it stayed connected. FYI I use the netstat -a -n command from the windows command line. That shows active connections and ports listening. Before all that I wasn't getting the wideserver.log and i mistyped wideclient....with webclient. Thanks just the same

I just purchased, installed, and registered FSUIPC and WideFS for FSX. Firewalls are disabled but I never see port 8002 listening on FSX machine The webclient log shows connection refused error 10061. ********* FSUIPC4, Version 4.92 by Pete Dowson ********* Running inside FSX on Windows 7 Module base=62F40000 User Name="Roberto Sgambellone" User Addr="rsgam@yahoo.com" FSUIPC4 Key is provided WideFS7 Key is provided 219 System time = 09/09/2013 09:38:54 219 FLT UNC path = "\\HOME-PC\Users\home\Documents\Flight Simulator X Files\" 610 Trying to connect to SimConnect Acc/SP2 Oct07 ... 610 FS UNC path = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\" 985 LogOptions=00000000 00000001 985 SIM1 Frictions access gained 985 Wind smoothing fix is fully installed 985 G3D.DLL fix attempt installed ok 985 SimConnect_Open succeeded: waiting to check version okay 985 Trying to use SimConnect Acc/SP2 Oct07 9360 Running in "Microsoft Flight Simulator X", Version: 10.0.61637.0 (SimConnect: 10.0.61259.0) 9360 Initialising SimConnect data requests now 9360 FSUIPC Menu entry added 9406 \\HOME-PC\Users\home\documents\flight simulator x files\737 at jfk test.FLT 9406 C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\B737_800\Boeing737-800.AIR ini is [General] UpdatedByVersion=4920 History=R9XPZ4HCEPQIMKSPF1VG5 InitDelayDevicesToo=No UseSystemTime=No UseMidMouseBtn=Yes MouseWheelMove=No MouseWheelTrim=No MouseWheelTrimSpeed=1 JoystickTimeout=20 PollGFTQ6=Yes BlankDisplays=No FixControlAccel=No FixMachSpeedBug=No DeleteVehiclesForAES=Yes AutoScanDevices=Yes VisibilityOptions=No OneCloudLayer=No CloudTurbulence=No CloudIcing=No GenerateCirrus=No SuppressCloudTurbulence=No MaxIce=-4 MinIce=-4 UpperWindGusts=No SuppressWindTurbulence=No SuppressWindVariance=No WindTurbulence=No TurbulenceRate=1.0,5.0 TurbulenceDivisor=20,20,40,40 SuppressAllGusts=No MaxSurfaceWind=0 WindLimitLevel=200 WindDiscardLevel=400 WindAjustAltitude=No WindAjustAltitudeBy=2000 SmoothBySimTime=No WindSmoothing=Yes WindSmoothness=2 WindSmoothAirborneOnly=Yes PressureSmoothness=0 TemperatureSmoothness=0 DisconnTrimForAP=No ZeroElevForAPAlt=No ThrottleSyncAll=No WhiteMessages=No ShowPMcontrols=No SpoilerIncrement=512 MagicBattery=No RudderSpikeRemoval=No ElevatorSpikeRemoval=No AileronSpikeRemoval=No ReversedElevatorTrim=No ClockSync=No ClockSyncMins=5 ClearWeatherDynamics=No OwnWeatherChanges=No TimeForSelect=4 LoadFlightMenu=No LoadPlanMenu=No PauseAfterCrash=No BrakeReleaseThreshold=75 SaveDataWithFlights=No ZapSound=firework ShortAircraftNameOk=Substring UseProfiles=Yes EnableMouseLook=No AxesWrongRange=No TCASid=Flight TCASrange=40 AxisCalibration=No DirectAxesToCalibs=No ShowMultilineWindow=Yes SuppressSingleline=No SuppressMultilineFS=No AxisIntercepts=No DontResetAxes=No InitDelay=0 GetNearestAirports=Yes OOMcheck=Yes WeatherReadFactor=2 WeatherRewriteSeconds=1 CustomWeatherModify=No SimConnectStallTime=1 LuaRerunDelay=66 FSVersionUsed="Microsoft Flight Simulator X",10.0.61637.0 SimConnectUsed=10.0.61259.0 [JoyNames] AutoAssignLetters=No 0=Saitek X52 Flight Controller 0.GUID={B8026310-DB35-11E2-8001-444553540000} 1=CH PRO PEDALS USB 1.GUID={B0AE6CD0-84BE-11E2-8001-444553540000} [buttons] ButtonRepeat=20,10 [AutoSave] Next=1 Interval=60 Files=10 SaveOnGround=No AutoSaveEnabled=No [GPSout] GPSoutEnabled=No Port=COM1 Speed=4800 Interval=2000 PosTo6Decimal=No SimModeIndicator=No Sentences= [GPSout2] GPSoutEnabled=No Port=<none set> Speed=4800 Interval=2000 PosTo6Decimal=No SimModeIndicator=No Sentences= [WideServer] WideFSenabled=Yes [sounds] Path=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Sound\ Device1=Primary Sound Driver Device2=Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio) Device3=Realtek Digital Output (Realtek High Definition Audio) What am I missing?
