Not connecting....again

[DavidRN]

Hello Pete, it has been a while. Things have been running great for well over a year now. Now, I cannot seem to connect properly again. I did buy a new router almost 10 months ago and never had an issue with it. I have reinstalled all files for wide FS on my FS9 machine and the laptop that has ASE, FSInn and WideFS on it. I used your instrustions that came with the version I am using. I have not updated to the latest version as it took me forever to get my controls the way I like them. Anyway, to follow is an attachemnt of both ini files and both log files. The first is from the laptop. Many thanks for helping me solve this issue. Nothing else has changed here. So, I am at a loss why it would stop working all of the sudden. I think I had to reinstall the ini on the laptop once as it wouldn't connect. But, this time, it says that is is. But, there is obviously an error in the log file for the desktop that has FS9 on it.

Thanks again and here are the files.

This is from the laptop that has ASE, and the WideFS exe file on it. FSInn is also on this machine

I have not updated to the latest version as it took me forever to get my controls the way I like them.

Keeping up to date does not affect controls and settings, it just gets bugs fixed and performance improved. You don't delete INI and CFG files.

And it gets you support, because I cannot support old versions.

Anyway, to follow is an attachemnt of both ini files and both log files. The first is from the laptop. Many thanks for helping me solve this issue. Nothing else has changed here. So, I am at a loss why it would stop working all of the sudden. I think I had to reinstall the ini on the laptop once as it wouldn't connect. But, this time, it says that is is. But, there is obviously an error in the log file for the desktop that has FS9 on it.

The connection is fine:

86893 Reception maximum: 38 frames/sec, 5584 bytes/sec

86893 Reception average whilst connected: 33 frames/sec, 3209 bytes/sec

That's very good performance. Really you should be limiting FS frame rates to get a balance, but an average of 33 seems excellent for WideFs.

That's not a real error, just the client closing normally as shown in your client log.
