How to let controls working on Cleint computers in a network

[Simzation]

Hello people,

I have a question about the controls and how the use FSUIPC with it.

I want to conect my yoke and pedals to a Client computer in my network, because I fly online and my RogerWilco is installed on a client computer and I need to connect the Push To Talk switch to this computer.

Now I would like to know how I can make it possible to connect my controls in the network OR is it possible to make the Push To Talk switch work on my Flightsim Computer so I don't have to connect my controls on the Client computer.

I hope there is somebody who knows this because I have no idea.

Yhank you.

There's no way I know to do that at the moment, though when I get time I have plans to work on a joystick interface program for FSUIPC that could also work through WideFS. But really, I would certainly never recommend that your main controls (aileron, elevator, rudder) are on a separate PC from FS simply because the latency (delay) in the response can lead to over-controlling.

It is a trivial job to do it the other way around -- that is send Roger Wilco PTT commands from the FS PC.

is it possible to make the Push To Talk switch work on my Flightsim Computer so I don't have to connect my controls on the Client computer.

Yes, that is easy. You need to register (i.e. pay for) both FSUIPC and WideFS. In FSUIPC you use the Buttons page to program your button to send KeySend 1 on pressing and KeySend 2 on releasing. In the client PC, in Wideclient.ini, you add parameters to make KeySend 1 do an "RWon" and KeySend 2 do an "RWoff". And that's it.

These parameters are described in the documentation. Roger Wilco has been supported in this way for several years.
