Problem with WideFS and FSExpand/FSClient
Bruce_C replied to Bruce_C's topic in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Bingo ! Problem solved ! Pete, many thanks for your quick reply and for providing this software in the first place. I will point this out to the FSXpand folks and hopefully they will fix this. Regards, Bruce -
Hello Peter & Co, I've just installed the latest version of WideFS/WideClient and have noticed a potential problem/compatibility issue. I'm not sure whether the problem lies with Wide FS or the software I am using it with but hope someone here might be able to point me in the right direction. I am running Wide FS on my main FS PC with Wide Client on a laptop. Wideclent is used to operate FSXpand/FSClient guages (http://www.flyware.nl) My wideclient.ini contains the following entries [user] run1=C:\Program Files\FsClient 4.3\FsClient.exe delay1=5 run2=C:\Program Files\FsXPand 4.3\FsXPand.exe delay2=5 close1=yes close2=yes When WideClient starts I get an error message from FsClient saying ‘Run-time error ’53’: File not found’. FSXpand runs exactly as expected. When I remove these entries from the ini file and start wideclient, fs client and fs expand manually I have no error messages at all. As far as I am aware the problem has only started sicne upgrading to the latest version of wideclient but am unable to confirm this as I did not retain a copy of the previous version. Can one be downloaded from anywhere ? I hope this makes sense and someone is able to assist, I have also sent an email to the FSXpand people in the hopes they are able to help as well. Regards, Bruce Cunnington

Multimonitor using FSUIPS/WideFS over LAN

If you mean running a wideview FS AND extra instrumentation (Project Magenta, FreeFD etc) then no, the instruments wont work completely as only the position (lat, long, alt etc) is passed to the client, no airspeed data is sent for example. Also you cannot run WideFS at the same time as Wideview because of course WideFS is like a 'dummy' version of FS. It depends on exactly what you want from your setup. If you want multiple outside views you need Wideview. If you are happy to just run instruments etc on the second PC use WideFS. HTH Bruce
