Hi.

First I apoligize for my EnglishI mean that I am almost the only one that can undertsnad what I mean :D

Second. I have just bought the bundle for FS X.

Third. Suppose having 5 (or more) PCs all running FS X on a LAN. My goal is read some values (Planes Coords, IAS, HDG, ALT) and send to a server (of mine) application (so, IP and PORT should be specified) that collect those data for further manipulation.

The question is: Can I do with your boundle ??

Thanks anyone can answer me.

WideFS allows you to access all those FS values from any PC on your network (provided it is running Windows 98 or later and not running FS at all) through the FSUIPC interface, which is documented in the FSUIPC SDK.

WideFS does not have anything whatsoever to do with multiple FS installations on different PCs. If you want to collect information separately from each PC running FS you can write a program to do this, interfacing to FSUIPC on each one, and attend to the sending and collection of it in whatever way you like. WideFS cannot help you with this.

Thanks Pete.

I will write a program to interface with FSUIPC that sends data to my server.

But.... I don't have the SDK ..

Where May I find IT ???

Or better ...

Can you consider developing even a silly application that does this task ???

I (of course) will pay for it.

mail to info@brambo.it in case (I hope) u were interested....

Thanks

I found it .... of coourse ...

BUT. the version on the net is good for FSUIPC4 for FSX too ?

However, please, consider developing few lines of code too.

Grazie.

The interface to be used has not changed since FS98. It has been extended, but not changed. After all the whole point of FSUIPC is ongoing compatibility. That is why it exists.

There are some updated files in the FSX Downloads announcement above, including FSX-specific data about the values which can be obtained.

However, please, consider developing few lines of code too.

Sorry, no. The examples and so on in the SDK should be sufficient. It is all trivial compared to your task of sending it all to another program over a Network and then collating it all that end.
