Pete Dowson Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 is it possible to connect a FSUIPC Addon using WideFS via an internetconnection to FS? I assume so if the Server has a known IP address and you allow access though any proxy or router or firewall or such. The TCP/IP protocol is used on the Internet. The is a thread here someplace from someone who connected via IPX/SPX, but I assume there's some sort of wrapper needed to make that work. If yes, wich .ini items are nessesary to be written. The only thing which would be needed would be to specify the correct IP address for your FS PC in the WideClient.INI file. Is it fast enogh to get good results. (lets say a 56k connection) I would have thought it a bit slow for anything ambitious like Project Magenta or Radar Contact, or even Active Sky. You certainly wouldn't want anything real time via such a link, like cockpit controls and switches. But to be honest, I have no idea what would be suitable to be used over the Internet. What are you wanting to do? Regards, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jive Posted January 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Hello Pete, I am the author of an addon instructor station program (FS Instructor Panel). The author of simfligt.de testboard asked me that question, because he wants to suppervise somebody else with my program via internet who is running FS. My program is performing about 300 read or write commands each 1.2 seconds cycle, lets say 1500 "offsetbytes". Dont ask me if that makes any sense.

Sounds like a pretty light load. Best thing to do is try it and see. If you have two PCs and two modems you could try it 2in house" first.
