Title: Linking twp PC's for MSFS
Post by: FSAddon_boss on September 05, 2021, 01:58:17 AM
So if I want to run certain parts for MSFS on a different PC (like RealimGear, or AirManager), how do I link those two?
I know about the old FSUIPC and WideFS, but I think that's a thing of the past now ?

AH - you see why most of us are still waiting for it to be simulator ready !

One of the techniques I want to explore is still using P3D v5 as my base simulation engine, then using MSFS2020 only for out the window graphics. Driving it from P3D via SimConnect.
However, I still can't do that since you can't have multiple camera views with MSFS2020 yet.

As NavyMustang has pointed out theoretically you can do this if you are only using a single visual screen.

Check out WideView....www.wideview.it.

Using WideView you can run P3D on the "server" including any ancillary avionics or other apps that work with P3D off that computer. Your "client" computer then runs MSFS for your visual depiction only following positional and attitude data linked to the server. WideView employs simconnect for the link.

Okay, sounds like I need to wait for you experts to figure it out and test it, before I drown in my baby bath !!  ;D
