oboyoberta Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Pete, sorry to bother with this, but before I spend a grand for a secondcomputer I need to know.........using FSX and fswide, will all my hardwarethat would connect to the USB ports and hubs on the client computer run over fswide,or do I need to have the USB hardware on the primary computer. Thanks somuch. (Full size 737 cockpit - FSX)Don Adsitt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dowson Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Hi Don, you can connect your USB devices to your client computer and connect using WideFS. This will generally be fine for buttons/switches/toggles, etc, but for axis controls (throttle, elevators, ailerons, rudder, etc) you may find the added delay (due to the network) gives poor response times. Anyway, Pete will be back next week so please wait for his opinion before you splash the cash! Regards, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dowson Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 WideClient can handle buttons and switches over the Network fine, no problems at all. but for the control axes mentioned by John you need to connect them directly to the main simulator PC. WideClient does not offer facilities for those because of the response time you'd get -- maybe only milliseconds, but enough to make flying a rather haphazard business.
