Hi to all,
I've buy the istation and enjoy it but as I use this from remote PC I would like start FSX from remote PC by istation function.
I'm trying changing the script in StartSim.BAT but the program try to start fsx.exe on my PC (remote) while should be started on FSX pc. Anyone is using this function? I'm running Win7 on either PC.
Here the script:

ECHO OFF
CLS
echo.
echo -------------------------------
echo ---   STARTING    SIMULATOR ---
echo -------------------------------
echo.
echo Starting MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR X...
start \\FS-PC\fsx\fsx.exe
ping -n 1 127.0.0.1 >NUL
echo Starting WideClient...
start c:\WideClient.exe
ping -n 1 127.0.0.1 >NUL
exit

Regards,
Valerio

 

Dear Valerio,

I do not know if running an EXE file from a remote computer is now possible with Windows Vista (or Windows 7), but as far as Windows XP, you need to use a tool from Microsoft to be able to do this (PSEXEC, which is bundled with PSTOOLS). You would place PSEXEC in the iStation folder, and include the command in the StartSim.BAT file.

Beware that you need to have complete sharing between both computers. You can download this tool here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx)

On that page you can find more information about Microsoft's recommended setting to make PSEXEC work. There are other solutions available to achieve this task, but this seems the easiest, and it works!
