Wideclient and Widefs

[jwhite0126]

Hello,

I'm developing some utilities using Widefs and Wideclient.

When I use FSX, no problem. It's perfect.

but when use FS2004, FSUIPC_Open returns error "FSUIPC_ERR_RUNNING".

titlebar of fs2004 and wideclient says they're connected, but I can't open.

logs are following.

I'm developing some utilities using Widefs and Wideclient.

Best really to develop and test locally, on the FS PC. All WideFS is doing it extending that interface to another PC, but debugging and so on is usually much easier on the same PC as FS.

When I use FSX, no problem. It's perfect.

but when use FS2004, FSUIPC_Open returns error "FSUIPC_ERR_RUNNING".

This is unlikely to be anything to do with WideFS. What does it do on the FS PC?

It sounds like you have something wrong in the program. Show me the FSUIPC_Open statement you are using. You may have it set to only connect to FSX, so it refuses to connect to FS2004, which of course is a different version.

I'm developing utility like project magenta's pmInstructor. I programmed and tested on the same PC, and now testing on other PC but can't connect when server is fs2004.

Sample in SDK also failed to open.

here is my own code written in C# :

bool result;

fsuipc.FSUIPC_Initialization();

result = fsuipc.FSUIPC_Open(0, ref Result);

Your program is running okay on both FSX and FS2004 when on the same PC as FS?

Sample in SDK also failed to open.

Which example, the C# one? Can you try one of the utilities I provide, like FSInterrogate, TrafficLook or WeatherSet please?

Also, the two log fragments you showed originally are not enough. Both WideServer and WideClient show performance details when they terminate. Can you run FS2004 and WideClient and, when you are sure they are "connected" or appear to be, and your program (or any other) still fails, close WideClient and FS and show me both the logs.

Please also confirm you are running the same WideClient, from the same folder on the client PC, for both FSX and FS2004, so I know it is indeed being set up the same.

Finally, you should also try the current version of WideClient, 6.78. It was released last week but unfortunately Mr. Schiratti is unavailable at present, so the main download site isn't getting updated. You can get updates for many of my programs from the Announcements above, however.

Your program is running okay on both FSX and FS2004 when on the same PC as FS?

1) FSX and program in the same PC : OK

2) FS2004 and program in the same PC : OK

3) FSX in the server, program in the client : OK

4) FS2004 in the server, program in the client : Doesn't work.

FSX and FS2004 also installed on same PC, programs and wideclient excuted on same client.

Which example, the C# one? Can you try one of the utilities I provide, like FSInterrogate, TrafficLook or WeatherSet please?

TrafficLook and WeatherSet doesn't work with FS2004 too.

Also, the two log fragments you showed originally are not enough. Both WideServer and WideClient show performance details when they terminate. Can you run FS2004 and WideClient and, when you are sure they are "connected" or appear to be, and your program (or any other) still fails, close WideClient and FS and show me both the logs.

I used same wideclient.exe in same folder for connect fsx and fs2004 both.

there are logs when I tried to connect to FS2004

1) FSX and program in the same PC : OK

2) FS2004 and program in the same PC : OK

3) FSX in the server, program in the client : OK

4) FS2004 in the server, program in the client : Doesn't work.

FSX and FS2004 also installed on same PC, programs and wideclient excuted on same client.[

That's really weird. The logs show it is all communicating okay.

One more thing, the last straw as it were. Make sure FS2004 is closed and show me the complete FSUIPC.LOG file please.

Turn on FS2004, connect the wideclient, run program, send request(FSUIPC_Open), close program, close wideclient, then turn off fs2004.

How is your name here (J White?) related to the name of your registration (Kong Sun Choi)? Licenses are not transferable.

Anyway, it is now clear what is going on. The log tells me that you have an incorrect, probably pirated, Key for either FSUIPC or WideFS, or both. I think WideFS, hence the problem. According to records you, if you are Mr. Kong, only purchased an FSUIPC Key, no WideFS key. And there's no record of any FSUIPC4 or WideFS7 purchases in that name, which is even more suspicious. Have you changed your name, or registered using a different one?

If you think your keys are legitimate, please ZIP the FSUIPC.KEY file from the Modules folder and send it to me at petedowson@btconnect.com for further checking along with your receipts from SimMarket. Otherwise I'd strongly advise you to purchase legal key(s) immediately. If I don't hear from you by this time tomorrow I will report this to SimMarket.

Mr. Choi is my boss, and I'm working in his office last nignt and today afternoon. (server is owned by Mr.Choi)

FSUIPC 3's license is Mr.Choi's and FSUIPC4's one was purchased by another person. (He is also choi:) )

I tried re-register FSUIPC and Widefs both, and now working perfectly.

Thank you for answer.

Okay, that's fair enough then.

I tried re-register FSUIPC and Widefs both, and now working perfectly.

In the .KEY file you sent, the FSUIPC was good (purchased in 2006), but the WideFS key was one made by an old and illegal hacked key generator. If you are still using the bad WideFS you will continue to have intermittent troubles. You should delete it and purchase a legal one.

I''ll tell my boss to buy widefs license.

Thanks again to your help.
