Message for Andrew Kewley. Thank you for your input. Have read the article. Have to say way over my head! Cheers Colin.

Dear Pete, firstly many thanks for putting up with our inadequacies when it comes to computer programming language, it must drive you nuts trying to deal with people who really, just don't understand it all? Over the years we have purchased thousands of pounds worth of computer equipment and untold amounts of software. From FS 2002 to FS 2004 and now FSX we have suitcases full of Scenery and aircraft, most of it redundant now. I think the setup that we have now is as good as it gets. we are running i7 machines with ssd drives and 16gb memory and decent graphic cards. Average frame rates are in the 40 to 50 fps with most settings at max. The London area pushes it a bit harder down to mid twenty's but, that's to be expected. I am using Generation x scenery with all the latest updates and all the latest uk2000 scenery. It is truly stunning. FSUIPC ( have installed the latest version now. Thank you. ) and Widefs work fantastically well combined with the Plan G mapping software on my laptop. In the scheme of things the problem I have is not really a problem more like a minor irritation. Just to reiterate, its only at the London area airports that the wide server doesn't start. If I go to any other airport wide server starts and works perfectly. If I want it to work at London city for example, I just start the sim at an airport where I know it works eg Coningsby. Then I just use the go to airport function and wide server carries on working at London City as it should do. I feel extremely grateful for your time and valuable input and I think I have wasted enough of it. I am happy to live with this as is. Many thanks for producing such a great program it really has given me hours of entertainment and brings the Flight Sim to life. I hope you have a great Holiday. Kind Regards Colin

Sorry about that, we got it wrong in our attempts to get the info to paste using Google Chrome. We will try again later this afternoon when the Lad gets home from work, Thanks for your patience, Colin.

Regards Colin.

Hi Pete We have tried everything to paste the text into this page. we have highlighted the text the way you have said. we have done it every way we can think of? we do this every day in lots of different situations copying and pasting is like second nature! but every way we try we cannot paste into this window? regards Colin & Simon

Hi Pete, We did exactly as you said and it would not paste into the message. I say we, I am a 81 year old computer idiot and my Son helps me on team viewer. I just love Flight simming, I have all the kit but networking and WideClients and the inner workings etc. dream on. Many thanks Colin.

Hi Pete, many thanks for your reply. I have found the files you want but although I have copied them to the clipboard I cannot paste them into this message? Regards Colin.

Hi can someone help please. I start a flight at Coningsby or any airfield North of the London area and wide fs connects from my laptop to my main pc which has fsx on it no problem at all. I am connected via Ethernet connection. when I start the sim at anywhere in the London area for example at London City, wide fs will not connect at all. It reports waiting for a connection? any ideas Regards Colin.
