WideFs running default FS2004 controlls

[DLP015]

Dear Pete,

I´m a real newbie in programming FSUIPC and WideFS. My aim is to let appear the different sub-windows from the server-running Fs2004, i.e. radio-stack of Cessna 172 with shift+2 or i.e. the pedestal of any other model with shift+n on the client monitor and then to manage the controlls for the running FS2004 from the client computer by changing, for example, the autopilot-settings.

I tried to succed in my intention i.e. with settings as "keysend1=50,9" in the [uSER]-sections of WideServer.ini and WideClient.ini for the "shift+2" order, hoping the client-monitor will show me the radio-stack after pressing "shift+2" on client´s keyboard - but it doesn´t.

I know, there must be a fundamental error in my understanding of your

WideFs-manual. Is it possible to give me advice or send me an example of a WideServer.ini/WideClient.ini programming solving my problems?

Sincerely - DLP015

WideFS cannot possibly split off bits of the program "FS" to different PCs. WideFS links EXTERNAL PROGRAMS which interface to FSIOPC, running on different PCs, to FSUIPC running on the FS PC. You cannot have one copy of FS running on one PC and bits of it running elsewhere. All of its gauges and graphics need the rest of it too.

This is explained very clearly in the documentation, which is always best to read BEFORE paying for its use.

Just glance briefly at the WideFS.DOC. Quite near the beginning you will see this:

IMPORTANT NOTES

This is NOT a program for linking several copies of Flight Simulator, nor will it allow scenery or cockpit views on multiple PCs. It is purely for running EXTERNAL applications on a separate PC whilst still communicating with FS as if on the same PC. For such applications to work through WideFS they need to access Flight Simulator through the interface provided and defined by FSUIPC (or originally, for FS98 programs, FS6IPC).
