Porsche911 Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 I'm new to FSUIPC (for FS2004). I have 3 computers on my network. Does each computer need a copy of FSUIPC install on it? Would it better purchase WIDEFS? How many copies would I need with WIDEFS? Thx, Porsche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSkorna Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Hi, It depends on what you want to do with the computers on your network with FS. You describe those things and we can then help you decide what you might need. Right now you need nothing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porsche911 Posted May 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Thank you for your quick reply. I want to sync weather on 3 clients used for scenery and to send gear, flap and spoiler information from the server to a spot plane view on a client in WidevieW by Luciano Napolitano. Total PC's: 1 server and 4 clients. Thanks for your help. Regards, Porsche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSkorna Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Hi, Weather will never be synced with WideView because you will be running multiple copies of FS and there is some randomness programmed into FS. The general conditions will be the same, but things like clouds will be different. You do not need FSUIPC or WideFS for this. Also, FSUIPC and WideFS have nothing for sending video data out, so no help there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porsche911 Posted May 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 JSkorna, thank you for replying to my questions. I am new to FSUIPC and I's very confused about what it does. The following is a direct quote from the WidevieW (WV) 2004 User's Guide developed by Luciano Napolitano: "... The weather synchronization through WidevieWrequires a registered version of FSUIPC installed on all the PCs...." In another section of the WV Guide dealing with configuring a Client for a Spot Plane view, Napolitano states that in order to see the gear, flaps, and spoiler movements in the "Spot Plane" view you need a registered version of FSUIPC installed locally. That says to me, per Napolitano, that FSUIPC must be installed somewhere, I just don't know where!?! Do I need a copy on the Server or a copies on the Server and each Client/s? Forgetting WX synch then if I install FSUIPC or WideFS (somewhere?) Will I see the gear, flaps, spoiler, reversers operate on the Client in Spot Plane if I install FSUIPC with WideFS? I tried it without FSUIPC/WideFS and the Client CRASHES!! Is there somewhere in the Forum where I can download the FSUIPC manual? Thanks, Porsche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSkorna Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Hi, You can download unregistered FSUIPC from here: http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html The manual will be a part of the .zip file. Seeing that must of your questions have to do with WideView, the best place for support is going to be through them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
