Squawkbox and WIdeFS

[drskyking]

Will WIDEFS allow me to run FS2002 on my main computer

and then run Squawkbox and AVC and other things such as

servinfo on my laptop screen using my wireless LAN at my

house without making me reclick and hit P constantly on

my FS Window to keep un-pausing FS? Also can I run FS in

full screen mode without it pausing when I access the

other windows. I have tried Maxivista and it is nice that

is lets me use my laptop screen but it keeps pausing FS

when I click SB or AVC. Seems that I can't install SB on the laptop as it is looking for FS2002 which is on my desktop. Is there a work around. Thank you. Robert

Yes, you can do this with WideFS.

Yes, you can fix the pausing problem: see the option 'pause on task switch' in Flight Sim (probably in a section with the word 'general' in its name), you need to turn it off; it's on by default.

Thank you! Do you know how to install squawkbox on a second computer without FS on it and then use it on WideFS?

[Jamie Fox]

That should be possible just by using the Squawkbox installer, although there might be a problem if you don't have FS installed at all. If so, then you should be OK just copying the Squawkbox directory manaully. Make sure you run SBHost before Squawkbox itself.

Thank you. I will try copying the squawkbox directory as you suggest tonight!
