Pro-Atc and Simconnect

[Rdtcmttsa]

hello folks, i cannot tell how i know im in the wrong forum for this question.

but i cannot seem to get answers from proatc.

im running a network trying to set up proatc.

my network is already set up from years of use of radar contact and other software that i ran over the

network.

i have been using widefs, fsuipc, simconnect for years.

i have all file needed to be shared and then some.

i have been running radar contact and lil nav map side by side on a seperate computer

through widefs and simconnect for years now with no problems as such.

i have all files in place for simconnect.

So now i decide i want to try Pro-Atc on a seperate computer as a replacement for radar contac.

radar contac runs on widefs, little nav map runs on simconnect.

if i bring in Pro-Atc and load it on my client , do i still need to do all the simconnect stuff to make it work, when in fact its already loaded running lil nav map.

when i loaded pro atc on the client it ask for FSX file location. which is Steam, steamapps,common,fsx.

i get error " Unable to connect to FSX, simulatiom probably not running"

Pro atc is asking for sdk's to be loaded on both computers, you can only load sdk/s where FSX is presant

and that is only on com 1, is that correct?

so im asking do i need to load all the simconnect stuff again to run this new progran or am i missing somthing.

lil nav map has  a different port #  than Pro atc, does that make a differants.

as i said i know im in the wrong arena, but you folks are so smart , maybe you can lead me in the right direction.

THX...RobertC

Yes you are. ProATC/X. I'm pretty sure doesn't use FSUIPC or WideFS.  If the ProATC/X folks won't help (which is unusual as they've always been very helpful to my observation0, you'd probably be better off in the FSX Forum on AVSIM

Depends on versions. There are three FSX versions. most programs will want the last one (SP2/ACC) but that's not guaranteed.

You'd need to state that folder and then give ProATC the full network path to the share, something like \\computer name\share name.

What SDKs? Sorry, I've no idea.

I just looked on the PA/X forum, and you only posted there recently. I'm pretty sure the folks there have day jobs (not retired like me). It is far too early to say you can't get an answer there!

Also I suspect similar questions have been asked and answered many times before -- worth a search through previous threads.
