Can't get WideFS to connect to FSUIPC7

[jmabrao]

Hello there so I am having trouble connecting my 2 machines together using these products.  I can see in the Log that they see eachother, but the issue is the request times out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Okay I am no getting in my WidwClient.log:

********* WideClient Log [version 7.159] Class=FS98MAIN *********

Getting absolutely nothing in the Wide log on the Simulator PC.

This normally implies a firewall stopping the connection. It might be on the Client PC or the Server, more likely the latter. You'll either need to disable the firewall, or at least tell it to allow FSUIPC7.EXE  (on the Server firewall) and WideClient.EXE (on the Client).

Okay I managed to get it connected somehow. I honestly didn't change anything.  My next question is I spent about 3 hours trying to make it so when I press F12 in simulator it presses F12 on client for PTT for P2A and nothing I try seems to work.

WideClient.ini

KeySend2=123,24 ; Release F12

You should set "no repeats". Unlike using a button press, using a keyboard creates multiple presses automatically. You'll be sending a stream of KeySends so invoking continuous F12 presses!

I have this in my WideClient INI:

Run2=C:\Pilot2ATC\Pilot2ATC_2020.exe
Close2=Yes
UseSendInput=Yes
KeySend110=112,16 ; F1 Press   PTT for P2A
KeySend111=112,24 ; F1 Release PTT for P2A
KeySend112=121,16 ; F10 Press   Sayit for P2A
KeySend113=121,24 ; F10 Release Sayit for P2A
KeySend114=117,16 ; F6 Press   Sound device for P2A
KeySend115=117,24 ; F6 Release Sound device for P2A

All of those KeySends are assigned to buttons in my cockpit -- the PTT to the PTT button on the yoke. Works fine.

Of course, also be sure you have it set correctly in P2A.
