Wide Fs for Fs9+Fs10 on the same pc???


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I can hardly imagine that I am the first with this question, but I can't find the subject.

The question/problem is: Could I use Wide Fs (Fs9 version + FSX version) on the same pc and laptop?

On my Fs pc I have Fs9 + Fs 10 + FSuipc 4.

On my laptop I have flight Sim Commander, which I want to use connected to Fs9 or FSX. So I'll have to instal the client files there. And the two server files on my

Fs pc.

So I want to buy Wide Fs for Fs9 and Wide Fs for FSX.

But I wonder if I can use 2 Wide Fs on my pc and laptop without interference from each other. And by the way on my laptop I also have Fs9 installed for multiplaying.

Any suggestion?

Of course. Just not at the same time. If you look at the WideFS components, there is only one "WideClient" program for the Client PC -- this is deliberate as the Client PC shouldn't care what version of FS is running on the Server.

... And the two server files on my Fs pc.

FS9 has a separate WideServer.DLL to install, but in FSX it is included in the FSUIPC4.DLL code. Both are separately registered, however, and FSUIPC handles that.

But I wonder if I can use 2 Wide Fs on my pc and laptop without interference from each other. And by the way on my laptop I also have Fs9 installed for multiplaying.

You can't run WideFS to the laptop when it is running FS9, and you can't have a single client talking to both FSX and FS9 at the same time. But otherwise there's no problem. The client end is the same no matter what version of FS you use on the Server.

Regards

Pete
