    FMGS client not connecting to server... frustrating

    Hi all, ... and sorry but I'm getting really crazy.
    Maybe someone is able to provide some help... before finally giving up.

    Since three years I'm building a A320 homecockpit... slowly but steady.
    For the last weeks I'm trying to get the instrumental displays work, together with the simulation screens... without success...

    The setup is as follows:

    • PC1 is running P3Dv4 and FMGS client (Windows 10 / fix IP 192.168.1.77 / firewall off and no AV / four 32" displays for the sim)
    • PC2 is running FMGS Server (Windows 10 / fix IP 192.168.1.80 / firewall off and no AV / three 17" displays for the instruments)


    FMGS on PC2 is running fine and connected to the Sim on PC1, but I'm not able to get the FMGS client on PC1 to connect to PC2 (sound and joysticks are installed on PC1).

    Reinstalled FMGS (48.2.2) many times, reconfigured everything in various combinations... no success
    For a test I put the FMGS Server on PC1, working fine... but also FMGS client on PC2 is not connecting to PC1.

    Any ideas, hints, suggestions? ... I'm really frustrated...

    Many thanks,
    Micha

    Are you using FSX? P3D?

    Did you select the right aircraft in the flight simulator program (Jeehell A320)?

    I had an acquaintance who also was unable to connect to the server program because they did not select the right aircraft to use in the sim.

    Thanks for your reply.

    I'm using P3D v4 with the Jeehell A320 and I have no problem, connecting FMGS to the sim. The issue is connecting the two PCs with FMGS (see initial post)

    Have you run configure.exe on each client and server computer and entered the ip address?

    Can you ping each computer on the command line and they are reachable and responsive?

    Also of course I am assuming you are running with full administrative rights?

    Yes, IPs are set correctly in configure.exe, both have full access rights and are also shareing folders towards each other... including admin rights.

    in theory I'm very sure that everything is setup correctly... it still it simply isn't working...

    Server needs to run on the same computer as P3D unless you are using simConnect. Did you read the tutorial on my website?

    Yes of course... many thanks for your effort!

    And yes, SimConnect is running and proven working as FMGS Server is connections without problems to the Sim.

    Re: FMGS client not connecting to server... frustrating

    When you say not connecting, what makes you say so?
    NO reaction in the software?
    No green lines on the FMGS server APP?
    Any log in widefmgs server/clients?
    Have you thoroughly followed the installation guide provided with the software?
    Are you sure you installed the necessary options, and ONLY them, on each PC?

    Re: FMGS client not connecting to server... frustrating

    You already gave the hint which I needed... again reinstalled it ONLY using the components needed and it worked!
    (I thought it is ok to install all but not starting it in the starter.ini)

    Many, many thanks!
