dryfly52 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Is it possible to run SkyDemon via WideFS client? I have communication between the server and client machines and have configured WideClient.ini to open SkyDemon at run-time but no GPS data is being received. I can run SkyDemon on the FSX host PC via FSUIPC and VSPE just fine. Many thanks in advance. Dryfly52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have communication between the server and client machines and have configured WideClient.ini to open SkyDemon at run-time but no GPS data is being received. Sorry, I've never heard of SkyDemon. I take it that it is a moving map driven by GPS data? I can run SkyDemon on the FSX host PC via FSUIPC and VSPE just fine. So it connects to a serial port (COMn), to receive GPS data? For that to work on a WideFS client you must configure FSUIPC to send it to WideFS and you need to add the GPS port details to the WideClient.INI file. What actually "opens" your application isn't relevant. Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryfly52 Posted June 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Hi Pete, Thanks for the advise. On the Client PC (Sony vaio laptop - Windows 7) ----------------------------------------------------- I need to add the following to the WideClient.ini file [GPSout] Port=COM11 Speed=9600 I then used VSPE to 'pair' COM11 ===> COM12 and then pointed SkyDemon at COM12. Success! Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
