WideFs not connecting

[eziocin]

Hi,

after many years of successful use of WideFs and FSUIPC, all of a sudden, in the last few weeks I am not able to connect Widefs unless I restart FSUIPC. 

This is what happens: I launch MSFS2020 and at some point FSUIPC also starts. Then once I have loaded the flight and the aircraft is at the departure gate, I run Widefs Client on the networked laptop, but it hangs with the message "Waiting for a connection". In order to establish the connection I need to shut down and restart FSUIPC (no need to restart MSFS as well) , and then I can connect Widefs without any issue.

I don't know if this is part of the same problem, but I have Spad.next and vPilot launched automatically by FSUIPC, and although they both start and load correctly they shut down as soon as I load the flight. The only reason I am mentioning this is because this issue has come out concurrently with the WideFs issue...never had problems like these in many years of flawless use of FSUIPC, Spad and vPilot.  

Running MSFS on Win11, latest build, and FSUIPC latest version

Any indication on how to solve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance

It is not actually hanging is it, its just waiting for a connection, no? Does it connect automatically when you restart FSUIPC, or do you have to also restart the WideClient?

Can you please show me / attach your FSUIPC7.log and WideServer.log files, both from when it initially fails to connect (and after you have exited FSUIPC7) and also from after when you restart it and it connects.

Thanks John for the quick answer. Yes, your point is correct..it doesn't hang..it is waiting for a connection...I usually shut down Wideclient before restarting FSUIPC and then restart WideClient after I restart FSUIPC, but I will check if leaving it running it reconnects automatically. I will send you the log files as soon as I am back home.. that is Sunday late evening ... 🙂

have a nice week end
