CAN'T CONNECT WIDE FS WITH FSX


Recommended Posts

I correctly installed the FSUIPC 4.12 on FSX and register. I configure the wideclient.ini correctly and when y try to connect, they seems to connect Ok buy a few seconds later they disconnect and reconect again. On the FSX bar, each time the wideclient reconects, they show a new conection, as if another PC conects FSX, and they show me 3, 4 ,5 connections.

Any ide why?

here are my files:

If you are using Windows XP all round you should have no need to touch that INI file. What did you change?

Well, the reason for the apparent increase in the number of connections is actually explained fairly clearly in the documentation. As to what it is trying to reconnect, let's see:

36562 Timed out response: connection assumed lost!

36562 Ready to try connection again

36625 Timed out response: connection assumed lost!

37562 Attempting to connect now

37562 Connection made okay!

55750 Timed out response: connection assumed lost!

55750 Ready to try connection again

55812 Timed out response: connection assumed lost!

56750 Attempting to connect now

OkayWideClient says it is timing out waiting for data from the Server. That is why it is trying to reconnect.

What did the WideServer Log show? This is only half the story!

There's no need for a photo. Why not just read the explanation in the documentation? Here, I'll reproduce it for you to save you all the bother:

Note that the number of current connections is shown in the title bar of Flight Simulator. This may fluctuate if responses to clients aren't currently being sent. This is because the client assumes that a lack of response for many tries means a disconnected link, so opens a new one. The server detects disused links after a while, and closes them, but there's an overlapping period whilst more connections may actually be open than there are clients.

There. That was in the early section in the WideFS User Guide called "Running WideFS".

Pete
