FSclient and fsupic

[richard hutchinson]

Morning

I am running fsclient on a separate PC that has win2000 installed. I note that this software requiremt says it must have fsupic installed to operate, however, I have downloaded it and it doesn't seem to want to install. It goes through the motions for few seconds then nothing.

FSX is on my Quad core running Vista 32 bit, and has fxpand installed. I also have fsupic installed and registered on this one.

I am getting "run timer error 91" when trying to run fsclient.

Any ideas or help appreciated

Regards

Richard

What, exactly, are you running on that PC which you think is FSUIPC? FSUIPC is a DLL, a module, which only runs inside FS. If you have no FS installed on that PC there is nowhere for you to put it!

FSX is on my Quad core running Vista 32 bit, and has fxpand installed. I also have fsupic installed and registered on this one.

For FSX you must mean FSUIPC4. The FSUIPC4 Installer can be run on a non-FS PC, but it will complain about the missing FS and tell you so.

If you want to run FSUIPC applications on a separate PC from FS, you first need to Network the computers, so that they can talk to each other, then you need to purchase WideFS, register it in FSUIPC4, and run WideClient on the non-FS PCs. Please do read about WideFS. You can download the ZIP and read the documentation before purchase.

I just had a quick look at the FSXpand website, and the first thing I see is this:

FsXPand 4.2 creates your own cockpit for you, by connecting 1 or more PC's to one FS PC over a network (my emphasis)

which implies that it does its own networking. So presumably you don't need WideFS, only FSUIPC installed in FS.

It looks to me as if you need to read the documentation for that package a little more carefully, or ask their support for assistance?
