WideFS for FSX ?


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I test FSX with PM. I downloaded and installed FSUIPC4.1 on (registered) the PC server, and on PC Client, I use WideFS 3.70. Unfortunately, WIDEFS doesn't connect with FSX. (No problem under FS9) Thank you for your help

The WideServer log shows nothing wrong, but that's only half the story. Where's the WideClient log? Also I need to see your FS9 WideServer INI file and the WideServer part of the FSUIPC4.INI file. Maybe you are running with different settings on FS9.

The Network code for WideServer 7 is identical to that in version 6.70, which is what I assume you mean?

Hi Pete,

Thank you for your answer.

In the file Modules of FSX, don't I have a WideServer.ini, because it's incorporated in FSUIPC4? No?

FSUIPC4.ini :

[WideServer]

WideFSenabled=Yes

AdvertiseService=1

Port=8002

Port2=9002

WideClient :

[Config]

Port=8002

ButtonScanInterval=20

ClassInstance=0

NetworkTiming=5,1

MailslotTiming=2000,1000

Port2=9002

ResponseTime=18

ApplicationDelay=0

TCPcoalesce=No

WaitForNewData=500

MaxSendQ=100

OnMaxSendQ=Log

NewSendScanTime=50

Servername=FS9

Correct, which is why I asked for the WideServer section of the FSUIPC4.INI file. Take a look, -- I said

Where's the WideClient log? Also I need to see your FS9 WideServer INI file and the WideServer part of the FSUIPC4.INI file.

The main files I needed to see, which you forgot, are the WideClient LOG (after all, it is the WideClient which isn't connecting, is it not?), and of course the FS9 WideSever INI so I can compare like with like. After all, the same code should behave the same given the same parameters.

Please show me the files as I asked, then I'll look and try to work out what the problem is.

Regards

Pete

Ah, and I'm afraid I only speak English and C (well ASM too, but less and less). ;-)

The settings are the same in both FS9 and FSX cases, yet you say FS9 works fine. The logs show absolutely no communication from the Client to the Server, so all I can think it can be is a firewall preventing access by the Client to FSX. It seems likely that you have given permission for access to FS9 but not FSX.

So, can you check that, please?

Regards

Pete
