Need for WideFS ?


Recommended Posts

Hi Pete,

I have a question about FSUIPC and ASE on a client PC

ASE is on a client PC and connects to FSX via simconnect . I use DWC mode in ASE.

I use RC4 and for fsuipc to read ASE weather (which is the default when in DWC mode i understand) it needs to get it from the client am i correct?

How does FSUIPC do this; Does it get the weather from ASE via simconnect or do i need a widefs client installed on the client.

I ask this because it seems RC4 always uses the weather what is predicted in FSX

If i need widefs for this is there some special configuration i have to do for having it to work with ASE?

Thanks in advance

You'd need WideFS enabled (i.e. registered) and WideClient running and connected on the PC running ASE. There's no other way FSUIPC can get the weather from ASE. If ASE were running on the same PC as FSX then it could do it directly. On a Network it has to rely on WideFS.

No, it will be automatic.

Sorry, I don't understand. What is this "virtual comport"? What is it for? how does it relate to WideClient? Are you talking about using the GSPout facility?

[Config]

...

Port3=COM1

Run1=C:\DLFiles\AWPro.exe

What is that "Port3" parameter? Wideclient won't recognise that.

And Run parameters belong in the [user] section -- that won't work there either.

You don't seem to have any [GPSout] section defined, so I've no idea what it is you are attempting.

The WideClient log is fine. Nothing wrong there.

All I need is position data sent to the Client application for the moving map.

Using GPSout on the Server? Have you enabled it there and specified WideFS?

Without correct parameters in the WideClient INI file nothing will happen.
