I would like to officially throw my name in the hat as not being able to fix this problem as well with the Registry edit method.Steve

Guys, I looked into the installer routines a bit more and found another problem. Try the actual AS2004ModulesActiveSky2004 folder, the install routine is not properly finding the actual data folder from with AS2004 base.Please let me know if that does the trick.. Thanks! Expect a new Connector program within 1 or 2 days... Sorry for the problems and thank you for your patience while we sort this out..Damian ClarkHiFi Simulation SoftwareDeveloper of ActiveSkyhttp://www.hifisim.comhttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004betateam.jpg

Guys, This has gotten me totally confused so I should probably ask for clarification before I waste hours on it trying to set it up.My set up, which is probably typical of that of others: Main Computer: FS9 FS9/Modules/ActiveSky 2004 (within this folder are the AS2004.exe and the Active Radar Connector) FS9/Modules/Active Radar FS9/Modules/ActiveRadar.dll Client Computer: C:/INSTALLDIR/Modules/Active Radar C:/INSTALLDIR/Modules/Active Sky 2004 Standard installation for WideFS. When I go to the main computer to map a drive to the client, I use Z:...F is not available, that is my CD ROM drive in the client. When I activate the Active Radar/WideFS connector on the main computer, it looks for Drive F, so I get an error. When I try to change the drive to anything other than F, I get an error. So I am at parade rest. There is a workaround with and HKEY command for the registry, I never mess with the registry stuff, can anyone explain how to do this, is it a DOS or similar command? I also understand that even though I plan to run AS2004 on the remote, the radar display will only work on the Main Computer, or at least that is what I think I understand. I use 1.92 WXRE on the client with WideFs, it works very well (the drive to do this is mapped from the client to the main, just the opposite of what is recommended for AS2004....). I want to keep all of the processing power of my system available for FS2004. thanks in advance for any help or suggestions...regards,

Damian,I tried all the options without sucess. If the new program is not coming out shortly (24hrs) is there any chance you could 'walk' me through manual setup. I have no problems editing the registery if need be.ThanksAndrew

Hi, please hang on, I am working on a new connector program to make all this work easily without problems. Please hold on a little longer, I should have something ready tomorrow...Damian ClarkHiFi Simulation SoftwareDeveloper of ActiveSkyhttp://www.hifisim.comhttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004betateam.jpg

>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.>>Developer of ActiveSky>http://www.hifisim.com>http://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004betateam.jpg>I got mine to work by sharing and mapping the SUBfolder ActiveSky2004, then pointing the Connector to that drive/folder.In my case the mapped drive is M:ActiveSky2004, which is a subfolder in the Modules directory under the main AS2004 directory.When the connector starts up and wants to go to the F drive, just look in the drop down folder until you find the drive you mapped.So instead of looking in the AS2004 directory - The Radar finds the info in the AS2004ModulesActiveSky2004 subdirectory on the "remote" PC.Kind of makes senseClaus:-jumpy

That's it! Thanks Claus!I now have the most beautiful radar returns on the display over WideFS. Forecast for today: Rain - then storm - then snow... That's going to be interesting ;-)GREAT, like the rest of AS2004!Ivo

Ivo,This may sound like a stupid question ;) but which PC did you run active connector from. The FS or remote machine?I don't consider myself particularly dumb but configuring this is driving me nuts!:-mad

[Guest Vigo]

First I shared the directory C:Program FilesAS2004Modules on the remote machine.Then, on the FS machine, I mapped this shared directory to a free drive letter (i.e. G:).Afterwards I run the WideFS Connector program on the FS PC and pointed it to G:ActiveSky 2004.Good luck,Ivo
