Hmm, Daniel you just found my regular fs computer. If this is what their using for fs tools, it looks like I'll be needing to upgrade in a couple years. (Sigh, to be considered obsolete frown

How would you run FS on one computer and applications for it on another? Seems like a difficult setup...

all you need is a registered copy of FSUIPC and WIDEFS. computers need to be networked of course. actually very simple.

example of how i have used it.

main computer runs
fs9

extra computer runs
active sky
acars
squawkbox
etc etc
etc etc
