Thank you for the prompt reply Well, I will check avs, the last thing one needs is a heavily loaded 747 in transition and the screen goes blank as the fs traffic dialog box scrolls. One other important thing and it might give you a hint, When the screen comes back and the traffic dialog closes the engines ( on auto throttle) will immediatly wind down and then wind back up to resume where they were before the dialog came on. It sounds crazy, but true!. Peter

I am running two computers with a registered version of fsuipc and widefs I sometimes have a strange thing happen, " I am running fs on one machine, on the other avs 6 for weather, The program will write to the fs computer and everything work fine when connected, BUT when it writes the weather a fs dialogue box comes up that says " fs traffic" and the screen goes black until the weather is writing. I know its not writing traffic , its writing wx from the other machine. The question is. What setting can i turn off in fsuipc to ensure this does not happen. . I hope I have made the problem clear. sometimes when it writes weather it does not do this and the ex scroll across the top of the page (it always does this correctly when writing from vatsim) Peter

Well it just goes to show that , with a lot of help one can work through anything,, I removed all instances of spx, and then cleaned up the network coeections ( mappings ) a bit and it connected. I hope i can remember what I did, in case it fails again.. Thanks for all of your assistance today By the way . now that i have been looking at these logs, do you publish a list of the error codes. maybe that would be helpful. I am sure you have been asked the same questions 1000's of times,, regards

Peter I only included that bit about fsuipc in the event it might be helpful Interestingly the computers can see each other and all network drives. I made sure that windows firewall is turned off so that , that was not a problem, I dont even know why i have spx on the machine, i dont think it serves any purpose. since i sent you that log I have done the following added servername = ptxmain to the winclient ini and i have the following errors in the log 28797 error on client preconnection select () error = 10060 connection timed out and ****** WideServer.DLL Log [version 6.70] ********* Blocksize guide = 4096 (double allowed) Date (dmy): 03/08/06, Time 17:45:18.718: Server name is PTXMAIN 340703 Initialising TCP/IP server 340703 Initialising IPX/SPX server 340719 ServerNode=0.0.3072.38385.25245 340719 Initialising UDP/IP server 340719 Broadcasting service every 1000 mSecs 351516 Restarting service due to total lack of use 1502281 Incoming connection Accepted ok (skt=6408) TCP 1502563 Connected to computer "YOUR-9K1AY6X2A2" running WideClient version 6.700 (skt=6408) TCP 1596406 Error 10053: client socket disconnected at Client: removing (skt=6408) TCP the error looks like it disconnected at the client.. ??? im still confused but i think you are saying that it is the firewall issue, in my case i have it turned off .. I THINK!!!! thanks for your help... Pete

Hi Peter so everything was working between my two machines, I installed the most recent fsuipc , i have a 1 gig ethernet connection. I upgraded my active sky now asv wont find my fs running . by now i think it is something with widefs becuase i dont see myself when using whazzup or servinfo on the second pc and asv wont connect.. is there a utility out there to sort this out.. Last week every worked perfectly thanks

Can someone tell me if I am running a wx addon if the wx setting must be off in fsuipc On one computer i have fs using the most recent fsuipc and on the other i am using avs6 or weathermaker 4, Do i need to clear the wx in fsuipc or turn it off. ? Can someone please let me know pkofman@rogers.com

well i was not using a mac that runs as a pc. I was trying to determine if it was possible to add it in using a mac version of widefs and then go looking for a mac app that would allow me to add another view to fs. The idea was to keep this very very simple. But if its is not possible .... no big deal.. P

I have purchased widefs, I am trying to connect a third computer to my pc network.. ie a MAC! can I use a mac with the pc network via widefs . I want to install a couple of fs app's on it . is this possible. pkofman@rogers.com

I understand that a new fsuipc is available. if i am a registered user am I entitled to the update. thank you in advance Peter

can i run fs navigator on a second machine using wide fs is it possible and how would I bring up the program, it is a modue of fs not a stand alone program so how would the f9 recognize the second machine.??? thanks

fsuipc I am have numerous crashes using fs with a number of add ons but one thing i notice is that I dont see anywhere that fsuipc supports airnavfs live traffic. ?? Also what happens when you turn off fsuipc weather, will a third part wx program take over , ( or must I just clear the wx in the fsuipc) and then run the third party app.?? Lastly are there any other features in the registered version of fsuipc vs non reg that might effect my programs. fs9.1 airnav fs live fsuipc fdc weather-maker flight environment pheonix dash 8 qtip software im trying to run them all at once
