[Config advice?]

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.

[Connection refused]

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

[Connection refused]

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.
