FSX-MS ProATCX and ASN over a network

[duckbilled 310]

Hi,

For those that have used either over a network, I have a couple questions.

1. Will I have any performance issues if I run these on a somewhat older netbook? I know both have a minimal impact when run on the same system as FSX, but I'm not sure if the Ultrabook will handle the load.

2. For ProATCX, does the sound come from the FSX computer or the computer ProATCX is loaded on? I read that people like the ability to separate ATC sounds from their FSX sounds. I need everything to come from one system, because I fly with headphones (no external speakers).

Thanks!

For the first point, I ran both from a medium spec laptop with no issues but hard to say if this will be the case on your older notebook.

As for point 2, the sounds will be coming from where you install the add-ons, not from the sim.

Hope this helps.

Thanks. So if I read this right, there is no way to have the sim sounds (engines...) AND atc/copilot come from the FSX computer if ProATCX is installed on a different computer than FSX.

If you use a cable from proatc computer (output) on your soundcard to (input) soundcard fsx computer you have atc sound on your fsx computer! Works fine here!

You could also use multiplicity  for sound/mouse/keyboard sharing.
