FSX and Traffic X using WideFS or Simconnect

[paulos2002]

Hello,

I am new to this forum, so go easy! Anyway I have spent nearly a whole day trying to get Traffic X and Active Sky Advanced working from a remote PC on my LAN. I know now that you can use simconnect but have also purchased WIDEFS & FSUIPC licences and have them connecting across the LAN but I cannot get Traffic X or Active Sky to work over it. I am completely unsure about the simconnect, what to do with it or indeed where to put the dll whether there should be a client etc. etc.

I would reall like some patient help if at all possible as I would like to keep my FSX PC purely running the sim and let the remote machine run all the Traffic and weather etc.

Thanks in advance

Paul

ErActive Sky Advanced can be used over a LAN but you have to install SimConnect on that PC and prepare some files -- and you must have FSX Deluxe or Gold, not the basic version.

Traffic X is an add-on AI traffic package, surely, and runs INSIDE FSX, so cannot run across a LAN. Or are you referring to something completely different?

I know now that you can use simconnect but have also purchased WIDEFS & FSUIPC licences and have them connecting across the LAN but I cannot get Traffic X or Active Sky to work over it.

For FSX ASA uses SimConnect, not WideFS. And Traffic X is not an FSUIPC client application, so doesn't use WideFS either.

I am completely unsure about the simconnect, what to do with it or indeed where to put the dll whether there should be a client etc. etc.

For ASA you need to refer to the documentation supplied. If you don't understand it please visit the Suport forum for ASA. I'm afraid I cannot undertake to support other folks programs.

For Traffic X, I think you must be confused. What are you trying to run on a networked PC? AI traffic only ever runs INSIDE FS!
