ActiveSkyX and RadarContact4

[Considero2 0]

Hi,I noticed a problem with the use of ASX and RC4. If I start ASX first and start up FSX with the help of the "Start FSX" button in the ASX menu, I get an error message when I want RC4 to connect to FSX. I get the following message: "IPC timed out all retries". I can push a "retry" button but that will make the same message pop up.If I push the "cancel" button RC4 is terminated.If I start FSX first, next ASX and than RC4 I have no problem at all. I reported this to the RC4 developer but I thought it would be good to let you know too.Kind regards,ArjenThe Netherlands

Hi,Thanks! This looks like a network install and something is slowing down the communication between the 2 machines.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

If I had the answer I would tell you. Maybe other people on this forum who have RC4 can reproduce it. In that case we would a least know if it is caused by something on my system or not.Kind regards,Arjen

Hi Jim,I didn't try to reinstall and I am not going to. I think it won't help and I have no problems as long as I don't start FSX with the "Launch FSX" button in ActiveSkyX. I can start ASX first and than start FSX with the FSX icon on my desktop and than things work fine. I can also start FSX first, than ASX and after that RC4. This works fine too. So I don't have a real problem as long as I keep my fingers away from the "Launch FSX" button.Kind regards,Arjen
