WideFS and FSUIPC5


Recommended Posts

Hello Pete,

I have an old registration for WideFS, will this work on the new FSUIPC5? I can't seem to find a way to purchase it on SimMarket, so i'm asking before making the FSUIPC5 purchase.

Also, and if you don't mind me reporting this here, WideFS has what seems to be a bug: When i remove an AUDIO device from the PC WideFS is running on, it frequently crashes. I found this out because i have a USB headset and most of the times when i disconnect it, it makes WideFS crash. It is reproducible and does it very very often.

Thanks,

Nuno

If your Registration was for "WideFS7" (i.e. with FSX or P3D), then, yes.

I assume you mean WideClient, on the client PC? If so, yes. I've investigated things like this. It all depends on the drivers in that PC -- and the crash is actually in the driver. Without notice it just makes the device handle invalid. The crash is invariably in the driver itself. I never managed to solve it (it has been the same for nearly 17 years). Best not to change the hardware configuration whilst things are using it.
