What do you expect to see in the Window? It is only a blank substitute for the FS window, for application programs to link to or even to dock to if they wish. These days there aren't really any docking programs, so you'd normally either minimise it or shrink it to a title bar up in a corner of your screen. It will remember this and come back that way next time. There's even an option to have no window at all. Please check the documentation.

Whichever program you are using to show the weather on that PC should have its own window. WideClient is merely the program which links any FSUIPC client application program to WideServer, across your network. What application programs are you trying to use on the client PC?

Please do take some time to read some of the documentation. You don't need to read the technical bits, just the bits saying what WideFS actually is for and does.

Ok, I am just following the instruction from http://www.mspanels.net/eng/engonlan.htm which in turn directed me over here I am trying to end up with something like this http://www.mspanels.net/eng/engpan24.htm where you have the terrain or sky over the copilot's panel on the second monitor. I know I am very close but missing something. I have the copilot’s panel on the second monitor everything is working as expected but no terrain or sky above. Is there anything I am missing or need to do? Any help would be appreciated.

thanks

Sorry, those links aren't working for me. But I think you must be confused about WideFS, which is an extension to the FSUIPC application interface to work across Networked links, so that you can run applications which work with FSUIPC on the FS PC on separate client PCs instead.

I don't know of any program which interfaces to FSUIPC which can give you any terrain or sky. Such visuals are only provided by Flight Sim itself to my knowledge.

When you say "second monitor" do you mean a second monitor on the same PC as FS? Or are you actually meaning "second PC" when you say that? If you mean "second PC", then possibly you are thinking of WidevieW, not WideFS? WidevieW is by Luciano Napolitano, and is a method of linking up two or more copies of Flight Sim across a Network.

I know I am very close but missing something. I have the copilot’s panel on the second monitor everything is working as expected but no terrain or sky above.

WidEFS is not at all involved in that, surely. What application are you running to display this "copilot's panel"?

Is there anything I am missing or need to do? Any help would be appreciated.

If you could kindly explain what you programs are actually running, and where, possibly it would become clearer as to where you are getting confused, because nothing of what you say seems to relate to anything to do with WideFS, or even networked PCs so far!
