FSUIPC log data on WideClient PC?

[Geoffco]

Hi,

I like the debug console window, but I wonder if it is possible to show that real time log data on a second PC connected with WideClient? (Latest FSUIPC for FSX in use)

What I want to do is watch the VAS memory availability during certain procedures in FSX, but the other options for viewing it are no good in fullscreen mode (the FS display option makes the screen flash at ~1Hz). I already run my weather programs etc on the second PC, so having the VAS displayed there would be a neat debugging setup...

Cheers,

Geoff

You'd need to have a small Lua plug-in in the Wideclient folder which read the log file as it was written and display it locally. There's a "wnd" library in the WideClient Lua implementation which can display scrolling texts. You'd need to share the FSX Modules folder so it vould be read, of course.

If that's all then just have a very small Lua program which reads the offset containing that memory value and displays it using the "display" library, which does formatting etc for you.

Thanks, I'll do it that way. Thought I'd check first in case there was already a method in place.
