Upgrade questions

I'm new to the forum so I'll begin by saying hello.

I'll soon be trying out FSX (with PM) and therefore need to upgrade from FSUIPC3 to FSUIPC4. My question is, do I need to purchase WideFS7 as it seems it's integrated into FSUIPC4? I already have WideFS6, therefore also the wideclient.exe.

Thanks

Sean

Yes, you need to purchase the bundle if you want both. The integration is only that when I had to re-write both FSUIPC and WideServer for FSX I took the opportunity to make it all more efficient. Installing FSUIPC4 effectively also installs WideServer because what used to be a separate DLL is bundled into the one DLL. But, just as with WideFS6, placing WideServer into FS doesn't enable it, only a purchased key does.

Incidentally, there's a much later version of WideClient available in the Updates announcement at the top of this Forum. It works well with all versions of FS.

Thanks for the clarification.
