    Cant connect WideFS in one PC.

    Hi all,

    Just downloaded everything after over a year of not simming. I put FSUIPC dll
    in mods on main fs pc. and replaced the ini too, as pete says.

    put the widefs stuff in my capts PC and in the MCP/engines center PC. Put
    the PFD stuff in each also. Just like I use to do. I checked the reg of
    petes and I am already registered.

    My capts ND and PFD come on with Widefs and do show OK for where the plane
    is.

    My MCP though, when I hit the widefs just gives me that window saying waiting
    to connect.

    I am at a lost here. I did notice that with my keyboard using F3 (which
    says its the throttles) i do not get a smooth run up just for testing
    purposes, but very jerky, long increases in speed. The ND and PFD jerk too and
    hardly move, but do follow what the plane is doing.

    Cant connect WideFS in one PC.

    Hi all,

    Well I got it to finally connect, though it now gives me notices about not
    being able to start items over on the capts PC??? I hit Widefs, get those
    notes, hit OK, then it says connected, then I hit the PFD.exe icon and the
    engines come on.

    I do notice now that my main FS PS and view are running really slow and
    jerky, as mentioned. There is about 10 sec pauses, (with me for now just
    hitting F4 to get it rolling). A year ago this never happened, I am wondering if
    the new set of all the builds and such might be causing this. Any
    thoughts?

    Re: Cant connect WideFS in one PC.

    Are you using TCPIP or IPX to connect?

    What version of FS are you using?

    What builds of WidesFS, Fsuipc and PM?

    What operating system?

    Is there anything in the wideclient.log file on the machine that will not
    connect?

    Is there anything in the wideserver.log file in the modules directory?

    Hi Randy,
    I had a similar issue with my CDU computer. It would NOT work properly with
    the latest wideclient. Contrary to the authors statements, i went back to
    an older version of wideFS and it worked fine. The other 6 computers on my
    flightsim network worked great with the latest builds. Go figure!??

    I am having a similar issue. My WideFS (which admittedly Im very new to) is working GREAT on the Cap PMRJ machine, but takes forever to find the connection on the FO machine, which is faster and a better machine than the CAP side. BTW, one connected, it runs just great. However, it will take 5-10 minutes sometimes. Is this a network issue you reckon? BTW, for the CAP side, a friend (the IT guy for my project) set up the network and he talked me thru the network for the FO side. Maybe we missed somthing that could make them talk faster?
