Hi all,There was some information omitted from the installation text accidentally..For WideFS users wishing to run AS2004 on a remote computer with ActiveRadar on the FS PC, please follow these instructions:First install AS2004...For example, install AS2004 on the remote WideFS PC to C:AS2004...Now, on the FS computer, map a drive to your remote computer...Next, on the FS computer, run the Connector program (located in C:AS2004ModulesActiveSky2004. It will ask for the AS2004 install folder, which is (mapped drive):AS2004. If you mapped F: then this is F:AS2004.Now one step I forgot to mention in the text (will correct ASAP):Now copy over the C:AS2004ModulesActiveRadar.DLL to your FS computer's FS9Modules folder.Also copy the folder C:AS2004ModulesActiveRadar to your FS9Modules folder. So now in FS9Modules you should have ActiveRadar.DLL and ActiveRadar folder.The radar will now communicate with AS2004.Sorry for the lack of documentation on this.. I will fix this right away..Damian ClarkHiFi Simulation SoftwareDeveloper of ActiveSkyhttp://www.hifisim.comhttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004betateam.jpg

Also.. there is an apparent problem in the Connector installer if you do not have an F: drive mapped. I will fix this, but in the mean time you can temporarily map an F: drive to allow the connector installation to continue..Damian ClarkHiFi Simulation SoftwareDeveloper of ActiveSkyhttp://www.hifisim.comhttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004betateam.jpg

One more note....The connector installer is incorrectly telling you to point to where ActiveRadar.dll resides. This is incorrect. You should point to the root path you installed AS2004 onto on the remote machine. I.e. F:AS2004.Sorry for all the WideFS installer issues folks, I made a last minute change and forgot to test it on my end. This is purely my fault, not the Beta Team's!Damian ClarkHiFi Simulation SoftwareDeveloper of ActiveSkyhttp://www.hifisim.comhttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004betateam.jpg

Is there anyway I can possibly get a $10 refund?

James,No you're ok, as long as there is a drive F: on the system the installer will not have problems.. just select your proper AS2004 folder on whatever drive it happens to be.Please e-mail me about the order next week, I will try to sort it out for ya...Damian ClarkHiFi Simulation SoftwareDeveloper of ActiveSkyhttp://www.hifisim.comhttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004betateam.jpg

Thanks for this, I know you have better things to do.James

Hi Damian,Your a star..Ill try it tonight after work..Thanks,Keith

Damian,No you're ok, as long as there is a drive F: on the system the installer will not have problems.. just select your proper AS2004 folder on whatever drive it happens to be.Remote PC has drives C,D,E & F (All accessable from the FS PC)Asky 2004 installed D:/Asky2004FS PC just has C driveWhen I browse from the FS PC to the connector.exe I get the error1327. Invalid drive F:Are you say ASky2004 must be on the F drive?

Hi Damian,I have just tried installing as per your new instructions. I still cannot see any data on the radar other than winds, and they are completely different from the correct wind direction and the pressure settings are wrong also in the tracking screen.I'm not sure what to try now, have you any ideas?regardsKeith

Anyone?

Hi,Update: I am re-doing the Connector app to solve all these issues, please standy, and in the meantime you can manually set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareHiFiAS2004Install_Path to your remote AS2004 path (i.e. Z:AS2004) and things should work. Sorry for the trouble here!Damian ClarkHiFi Simulation SoftwareDeveloper of ActiveSkyhttp://www.hifisim.comhttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004betateam.jpg

Dean,see Damian's post at the foot of the thread.

Damian,If it helps, I have looked into the registry and mine reads the correct path that I chose during install which is x:AS2004(I have my remote drive mapped as X)The radar sill doesnt show any data..Regardskeith

I just wasted 2 hours on this !Not a happy chappy but will recover :-)

I can confirm that even doing everything suggested in this thread it will not display the correct data.Look forward to you fixing this.Thanks.
