I have tested networking, it works for me as well as for a lot of other people.
Maybe the not very good performance of dual core for the main PC combined with bad performance of PIII for EWD is a bad combination.
Also do you use wifi or cable connection for the network? Wifi can be really problematic.
I can say that both PFD, ND, MCDU, Sound module, EWD, SD and STBY work brilliant via network :)
Hi
It was a great help if you share yours setups here...could you do that?
Main pc is a quad core. The pc with the instruments is a pention 4d with 2 GHz and 2 GB Ram. win XP.
Network is 100MBit.
I will try restarting the parts of the software. But the strange thing is that the mcdu ist "not connected" to the server (so the server says) but i have full functionality, wherease the nd definetely is not connected.
Another interesting thing: when i start the nd it takes a log time to initialize (go to the correct position etc) the sd or the overhead are faster. But this seemsnto be an old issue.

Hi:
Thanks for share your experiences...
You have 2 computers in your network...I had 4 computers and this could make some problems in the communications, I think!
In the flight everything work well for you? I mean you can make a complete flight without problems?
Hello,
The number of PCs is not a matter of importance. A friend is running the whole suite on 7 different PCs...
If there are disconnection, it's because one of the software is not running at ease. It can be the server or any other display.
Make sure you did not force any soft on a specific core for example. They make best use of random access to all cores, assigned automatically by windows. It can do harm to allow only one core to a soft, especially the server.
The ND takes some time to launch because it first loads all the navdata. On single core computers, it freezes temporarily the software as it cannot do parrallel processing.

Hi,
Unfortunately something went wrong wth that pc, it does not start any more, but I will change the computer next year to a dual core,them there should be no problem with the modules.

Hmm maybe it is related to your problems, with hardware issues you never know sadly :?
Keep me posted...

Hi again,
There is no hardware issue (one cable was not plugged in :-) )
I think I found out what the problem is:
It is the overhead.
I did serveral tests. Started everything except the ovhd, all modules were connected. Thenni startetd the overhead and: nd, ewd and mcdu disconnected.
I quit all modules started only overhead and mcdu. Overhead was connected, mcdu not. I quit overhead. Mcdu connected, i started overhead mcdu disconnected....
I hope this helps.
Cheers, markus
Hello Jl,
with the version B24 I cannot enter start and destination airport on the Init Page.There comes a message "not in database". How and where to install the Airac? I've installed LevelD 1113 with the installer, but it does not appear in the MCDU.
Thank you for your help and your great software.
Greetings Micha
