bravo27 Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Just wondering if Kacars can be setup on a second computer to monitor the fsx flight that is on a second system on the network Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lorathon Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Sorry I actually have never done it. I just know that you can. I believe that WideFS mimics FSUIPC. So if WideFS is running kACARS_Free will see it as FSUIPC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterious Pilot Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 WideFS isn't that cheap, for that price you rather buy some other add-on IMHO. Anyway, in case somebody wonders it COULD be possible to use ACARS remotely without needing WideFS. How? using the FSX (sorry FS9 fans, it is old and people move on) SimConnect library. With the SimConnect library you can access -via the network- data from an FSX instance running on another PC without requiring FSUIPC or WideFS. One great example (really great) of this use is the Plan-G freeware flight planning software. I used it to run Plan-G as moving map on my old laptop while I had FSX running on the main PC. It worked great and I didn't have to buy WideFS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
