<<Newbie question>> FSUIPC+widefs howto ?

[guizmo]

Hello

I have FS2004+wideserver on a win2k and wideclient on a winxp.

Wideclient says it's "connected" but I allways have a gray screen.

I read the documentation but I didn't see how to use it...

Thank you

Gray screen? By default you should have no screen at all except the title bar. You must have re-sized it. If you want to do that and have something other than gray there you can get WideClient to load your own bitmap. There's a parameter for that.

What program are you trying to run on the client? It will be its window you want to see really. Normally you will want to hide or minimise the WideClient window. It's only useful for showing whether it is connected or not.

I didn't understand what widefs was...

In fact, I need to do a virtual cockpit with the visual system on one computer and the instruments one one other... (with 2 other computers later for the right and the left visual systems).

Someone jump in and correct me if I'm wrong but AFAIK Widefs wil not do what you want. To have different views on different monitors you need WideView not WideFS.

Yes I think wideview is what I need. I first thought widefs=wideview...

Wideview isn't working with FS2004...

If someone know another way to do what I need...

The only way at present would be with multiplayer, I think. You run the clients in "observer" mode, or something like that.
