Paja Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Hello Pete, have you considered developing the WideClient for Linux? It would be very useful together with all those ultra cheap minimalistic Linux computers (Raspbery Pi, Arduino Yun, etc). They are small devices that can run simplistic version of Linux, so if we had WideClient on them, we could hopefuly access FSUIPC variables remotely via LAN - it would be easier than having ton of USB or RS232 devices connected to the flightsim computer with lot of their custom applications running...

Pete Dowson Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 have you considered developing the WideClient for Linux? No. Wideclient just presents an FSUIPC interface to FSUIPC applications. FSUIPC applications have to use very Windows-specific API functions in order to operate that interface. It just wouldn't apply to any other operating system. What you want is a networking app at each end, the one on the FS PC being an FSUIPC client. You could even use a Lua plug-in at that end to send and receive data -- see the examples of networking plug-ins provided with FSUIPC. In particular see the slave/server networking to link two PCs running FS, one being slaved off the other. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paja Posted September 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 I know about using the other computer to slave, standard thing. I was just thinking about using the lowcost Linux boards - but if it is not possible, ok - thanks for info. I will try Lua to send the data, thanks :) Pavel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
