FSIP with WideFS and WideView - No Weather Update

[compilot]

I'm using FSIP (FS Instructor's Panel - http://www.fsip200x.com/) with WideFS and WideView. This software allows me to change the Weather as well as many other parameters.

When I change the weather, only the server's weather changes. The WideView clients do not change. I tried to send the "Update Remote Weather" command from the WideView server, but it doesn't change. I'm forced to change weather on the server from the MSFS menu. Then I can use the WideView to update the remote clients.

Is there something that can be done to get the weather updated to all the WideView clients connected in the network?

Do I need to install WideFS on all the PC's?

WidevieW should be doing that itself, surely? I think you need to talk to WidevieW support. I'm afraid that, though I used to be a WidevieW user back in FS98/2000 days, I have not been now for a long time, not since Matrox came out with three screen support in the Parhelia video card.

Do I need to install WideFS on all the PC's?

No, certainly not. WideFS is for data between one FS PC (the Server) and client PCs not running FS at all. But I am pretty sure that WidevieW does need FSUIPC installed in each copy of FS.

Thanks Pete....

I'll post a message as soon as soon as the WideView Forum is back on line.
