Thanks for your answers.
Apologies if I now sound as if I'm trying to inform the informed {or suck eggs - but that may be lost in translation
}.
With WideFS - Say I have 2x PC's. On PC #A I fully install FS9 and attach my game controllers. This is the PC I "fly". I also install
PeteDowsons WideFS Server module.
On PC#B I install Petes WideFS Client only. Then, when I get another program to use with FS, it gets installed on PC#B. For example,
FSCommander by Aerosoft. First I run FS on PC#A and then I start the WideClient followed by FSCommander on PC#B. Now I can see
on PC#B my aircraft position on the map and the position of all traffic. I can log the flight and play a "black box" recording of it - All on
PC#B that does not have FS9 installed.
So WideFS is reading position and flight parameters {airspeed, altitude etc} from FS running on a nother PC.
Some programs are a little more complex. For example ActiveSky. I use the same "startup" procedure as above - Start FS on PC#A, start
WideClient and ActiveSky on PC#B - then "fly" PC#A with ActiveSky awesome environment.
So WideFS is reading parameters once again, but is also writing parameters {weather data and slipstream from AI traffic} back to the PC
running FS.
So, my question is - Will I be able to use the CPU on PC#B to run FsP?
Many thanks Dan.
