[FSUIPC 3.99g not showing under FS Modules Menu Item]

EDIT

My apologies, I just noticed that I have two modules entries in my FS menu bar. (Weird). It's all good and working.

Cheers,

Hi Marcus,

there is one, SwitchWP.Wav, in the FSC main folder.

Just delete or rename this file.

Nice, now would there happen to be one for the TCAS alert? I believe that FSC9 is using a default Windows Vista sound. Just curious.

Cheers,

Ken

[WideServer Error - Server Bind]

Well Pete, after all this troubleshooting it turns out that the problem was a hardware related issue. Long story short, somehow, the firmware data for the DVD drives on my PC got corrupted. As I keep my FS disc 4 in one of these drives, the drive stopped reading all media that went into it. When I would boot up FS, it started to ask me to please insert FS disc4 and restart the application. After much searching on the internet (great tool that we have :D) I finally came across a thread on Son'ys website whereby another user was having similar issues.

The fix? Downloading the latest firmware edition for the particular drive. All is back to normal now.

Well....almost. I also had to perform a destructive recovery on my HDD. The old firmware would not delete even under admin profiles. They were stubborn as heck to get rid of, so the only rememdy per Sony Tech Support was to reformat the hard drive back to factory conditions.

Thanks for all of your help Pete. I really appreciate it.

I'll be honest with you Pete, I'm at a loss for this one but will keep digging. :?

The pop-up alert with the bind() error happens on the FS PC right on the screen as FS is running and it happens immediately as FS loads up the default flight at KSEA. It actually pops up over FS and I have to click OK in order to continue using FS. Here is a screen cap of the error:

I will change the WideClient.ini file to reflect the servername and protocol in the config area as opposed to the user area first thing in the morning as my FS and client PC's have been shut down to give them some much needed rest (Benefits of also having a laptop eh?).

Both PC's are running Windows XP. The client has XP Home with SP2 and the Server has XP Pro with SP2. Both have the same workgroup and server names across my network. The firewall has been configured on both PC's to allow WideServer and WideClient to communicate freely.

If I find anything of singnificance, I will be sure to post it here. I still just cannot understand how this problem started out of the clear blue :?:

***Oh, also, the Server name is KEN-GAMING in Caps as listed. I doublechecked this under My Computer/Properties/Computer Name tab.

Thank you for your time thus far Pete. You're one fine chap.

Cheers.

No, it definately does not take 33 minutes to load the flight. Rather about 30 seconds.

Here is the log from WideClient:

[WideServer Error - Server Bind]

Hello Pete,

I hope that all is well. Before posting this thread, I searched the forums thoroughly for an answer and could not find one. I am having an issue with FS9.1, WideServer and WideClient.

On the FS PC, I start FS normally and shortly after selecting the default flight, I get an error message as follows:

Server bind() failed [Error=10022]

Invalid Argument

Now, I have checked my network as you suggested on another thread and can communicate both ways across both PC's with no issues except when starting FS and I get the WideServer error. Take note that this started just today after I changed some scenery levels within FS itself. I found it a bit odd and changed the scenery levels back to what they were and still no joy.

I have attached both ini files below.

I am also attaching two error logs I found WideServer generated.

********* Log file closed *********

Please note also that I have completely uninstalled and then re-installed WideServer and WideClient on the PC's to see if that would help but no joy.

One last note Pete, about 30 seconds after closing out FS, I get a strange error message as follows:

The instruction at "0x7c911899" referenced memory at "0x003d2838". The memory could not be "read".

Click on OK to terminate the program.

This shows up as an fs9.exe error. Again, only started today with no changes made except scenery levels. There have been no windows updates, etc.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Regards,

Ken
