Hello,

I'm running FSX on one machine with vasFMC. Locally, it works fine, but I'd love to be able to run vasFMC on one of my other machines on the network so I can view the maps, make flight plan changes, etc while I fly.

I am able to start vasFMC on an adjacent computer on the network and am able to connect to the Master vasFMC on my machine running VNC. I'm able to see data in the FMC (flight plan, etc) and modify it as such - however it does not pass me ALL the data. For example, I'm unable to see the flight plan visually on the map nor will it show me the engine, flaps, lights data (says NO FLIGHTSIM CONNECT) on the Slave instance.

Does anyone know how to properly get this to share over to the other vasFMC slave instance? It seems like it's getting some of the data (as seen by being able to edit in the MCDU), but I'm not seeing anything else.

Thoughts?

So I have that downloaded onto my other machine, but it doesn't seem to matter.

For instance, WideClient.exe launches and says "WideClient FS98 Eliminator" - I'm not running FS98, I'm running FSX. Does that matter?

The other thing is that the port number in the WideClient.ini file says 8002, yet vasFMC runs on 8001 - what gives? WideClient doesn't seem to indicate any other useful debugging or troubleshooting information, either.

I think all the WideFS are labeled "FS98" because that may have been when it was first developed. FSX does use the version 7 I believe. Version 6 is for FS9.
