WideFS module not running

[William737]

Hello,

I hope I can ask this question here. I did a search but get 650 results and after scrolling to page 5 I did gave up searching. 

 

I have Prepar3D V5 installed with Fsuipc 6.2.2 and WideFS.

For some reason after startup, WideFS is not starting up.(In the Title bar there is no: WideFS waiting for connection, or WideFS: 2 clients connected)

FSUIPC is, and when I open it all keys are filled in and WideFS is enabled though.

Only option  is to Disable WideFS in Fsuipc, shut down P3D, and restart P3D and enable WideFS again in Fsuipc.

Then it's working fine until I reboot. And have to disable, restart p3d and enable again.

 

There is no LOG as far as I can see. Which is logical as it is not an error Which can be logged 

 

Any ideas on the solution?

WideServer should start a few seconds after everything has loaded and started. Can you check your FSUIPC6.ini file to make sure that it is enabled there, - here's mine:

Quote

[WideServer]
WideFSenabled=Yes
AdvertiseService=1
Port=8002
Port2=9002

And your FSUIPC6.log file should show WideServer starting:

Quote

...
   31906 -------------------- Starting everything now ----------------------
   31906 Starting WideServer now ...
...

If that is not the case, please attach both files and I will take a look.

Hi John,

 

Thanks. My files were ok, but the quote on a few seconds did it. 

I have found the problem by that. 

My install of P3D V5 starts the wrong view, and paused.

I didn't think of it, but when I unpause and just have some patience, it seems it is just working. 

 

Now I need to find the way to have a startup in the right view and not in pause. 

 

Thank you again for the great help
