July 24, 20169 yr I am wondering if it is possible to use my PC and laptop together in fsx. For instance I am using pro atc x and there is a moving map. I would like to keep flying in fsx but beven able to watch on the laptop. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I didn't know where to put this, sorry. Josh Scholl
July 25, 20169 yr Moderator Hi Josh, Many of us use WideFS which allows many FS programs to run on a separate PC or laptop. I'm not sure if you can run ProATC-X this way or not. I'm sure someone will know. Have you tried their support forum? I run Radar Contact 4 and that certainly does. Ray (Cheshire, England).

So, yes, you can do what you're asking. I do it now myself. Regards, Kevin LaMal "Facts Don't Care About Your Feelings" - Shapiro2024
July 25, 20169 yr Author Great. How do I go about setting it up? I have never did anything like this before. Josh Scholl
July 25, 20169 yr Great. How do I go about setting it up? I have never did anything like this before. I'm trying to find the original tutorial I used from the active sky/hifi forums but I can't find it now. You can maybe start here with this thread http://www.avsim.com/topic/433026-active-sky-next-and-networked-configuration/page-1 and/or google and try to piece it all together. Sorry, that's about all I have time to search for it right now myself. But, do some research on that for now and feel free to ask questions. We'll get it working... Great. How do I go about setting it up? I have never did anything like this before. Actually, check out the manual from Pro-ATCX. It has a tutorial right in there: http://www.salemroad.de/fs/PROATC_NET.pdf Regards, Kevin LaMal "Facts Don't Care About Your Feelings" - Shapiro2024
July 26, 20169 yr Active Sky Next and FlightSim Commander are another two that can be networked as well Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me
July 26, 20169 yr Josh, I've networked Plan-G for the "Moving Map" facility and exchange of info it gives. Best Regards, Philip M Wafer EIWT
July 26, 20169 yr Author What is Plan-G? I saw that I'd have to install fsx and both SP on both computers but wouldn't that lose all my files and installs? Or because I already have that installed would I just need to install it on my laptop? Josh Scholl
July 27, 20169 yr Hi Josh, Plan-G is a freeware VFR flight planner. It's available from www.tasoftware.co.uk .You can see the description on their webpage. Also available is the manual on the same webpage. Download the manual and see section 19 - this covers Plan-G on a network. Best Regards, Philip M Wafer EIWT
July 28, 20169 yr I use Plan-G, FS Commander, and Active Sky Next on a networked computer. Each has a manual that explains how to set that up.Just take the time to read, and you will be okay. A day without laughter, is a day without living.
