iwik Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Hi All, Im struggling to get this to work with either Eterlogics (reg version) or HDD free option. The only one that works is the Trial Eltima one. What I don't understand is what one expects to see when installing these ports. Out of the three ive installed, Eterlogics shows no Ports in Control Panel, Hdd shows two ports when Bridge mode selected. Eltima shows Com1--->Com2 and Com2--->com1 as entries. I am confused as to what to expect. As I have paid for the Eterlogics one naturally this is what I want to use. Can someone who successfully uses it tell me if there should be some entries in Control panel under ports. I am presuming all I have to do is select pair and then set the first com port in Wideclient ini and the second in my moving map software on my remote pc. Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you are using this on the Remote PC, as that is obviously where you need it. On the FS PC you are presumably telling GPSout to refer to WideFS? With Eterlogics VSPEmulator.EXE, all I do is click Device then Create, select Pair from the drop down, then Next. Set the COM ports you want (yes, COM1 and COM2 are okay if not otherwise used), then "Finish". The main Windows then shows "COM1 <=> COM2" as "Pair" and "Ready". You can save the connection, giving it a name, and use that name to automatically reload it next time via a shortcut with that name as a parameter on the command line (in the program icon properties). After doing the above, when it says "ready", the Windows Device Manager doesn't show them (I think this is to do with 64-bit OS), but they do appear to work okay.
